each whorl are much thicker, forming elevated ridges; all frequently cross the whorls 
obliquely. The embryonal whorls, the outer lip, and the termination of the anterior 
canal are not perfectly preserved in our specimen, and have been restored in outline 
in their probable shape. The columella exhibits three oblique strong folds, placed 
close to each other; the posterior portion of the inner lip does not appear very thick, 
as the spiral striation of the whorl is pretty clearly perceptible. The columella 
appears to have had only a somewhat broad fissure at its anterior termination, being 
solid internally. 
Binkhorst’s Cancellaria? reticulata (Gast. et. Ceph. Limbourg, 1861, p. 66, 
Pl. V 22 Fig. 8), exhibits a somewhat similar ornamentation, but there are no such 
stronger varices marked by the author, and the transverse ribs appear on the whole 
to be more numerous. 
Locatity—Olapaudy ; the figured specimen is the only one yet obtained, and 
is undoubtedly a great rarity as a cretaceous fossil. 
Formation.—Arrialoor group. 
Euclia, H. and A. Adams, 1853. 
The principal character of Huclia is said to lieinthe want of the umbilicus and 
the deep notch on the anterior termination of the aperture. Not being well acquainted 
with the living representatives we prefer for the present to retain the name only as 
a sub-genus of Cancellaria.

The ventricose shell with a short, pointed spire, the short and very oblique 
ribs, being obsolete posteriorly below the suture and on the convexity of the 
last whorl are very characteristic distinctions of this fine species. Originally the 
entire shell, which is markedly solid, appears to be covered with impressed lines, 
remaining, however, more distinct and placed closer to each other only near the 
suture and on the anterior portion of the last whorl, where they are also of unequal 
width. Prof. Forbes speaks of ‘ two deep sulcations’, but there is certainly only one
