354 CRETACEOUS GASTROPODA 
LXXXI. PHASIANELLA, Lamarck, 1804. 
1. PHASIANELLA INCERTA, Forbes, Pl. XXIII, Figs. 17-19. 
1846. Phasianella incerta, Forbes, Trans. Geol. Soc. Lond., VIL., p. 123, Pl. XIII, Fig. 8. 
1850. Fusus subincertus, D’Orbigny, Prod. II, p. 229. 
Ph. testa ovato-elongata, levigata, anfractibus numerosis, convexiusculis, sutura 
impressa junctis composita ; ultimo anfractu inflato, spira altiore; apertura ovata, 
postice valde acuminata ; labio sinuoso, subcalloso, labro ad margimem tenu. 
Spiral angle 48°—52°; sutural angle 8°—10°.

Height of penultimate whorl : its width (om) op des BEE 
Shell ovately elongated, composed of numerous volutions, which are convex 
and separated by a deep suture, the spire being rather elevated, but shorter than the 
last whorl. The surface is smooth; aperture ovate, posteriorly narrow and pointed ; 
the inner lip sinuous and somewhat thickened, outer lip thin, and anteriorly broadly 
produced. 
Prof. Forbes was perfectly correct in stating, that he has “little doubt that 
better specimens will show” the species “to be Phasianella.” Our specimen, 
which is represented in Fig. 19, has the margins of the aperture perfect, though 
the specimen itself is a good deal distorted by lateral pressure. D’Orbigny’s 
generic correction of this species has no foundation whatever. 
Localities —Karapaudy, in yellowish conglomeratic sandstone; Alundana- 
pooram, in whitish, soft and fine grained sandstone; E. of Garudamungalum, in 
bluish, hard sandstone; rare. One specimen fram the neighbourhood of Veraghoor 
measures about 160 mm. in height, and 100 mm. in width of the last volution. 
This species is one of the largest shells from the cretaceous beds of South India. 
Formation.—Arrialoor and Trichinopoly groups. To the former the first 
named locality belongs. 
2. PHASIANELLA GLOBOIDES, Stoliczka, Pl. XXIII, Fig. 16. 
Phas. testa ovato-globosa, tenwi, spira brevi, subobtusa; anfractibus paucis, 
convexis, sutura impressa junctis, striis imcrementi crassiusculis notatis ; apertura 
ovata. 
Spiral angle about 80°; sutural angle 10°. 
Approximate height of aperture : total of shell (consd.as 1:00) ... 0°66.

This species is well characterized and easily distinguished by its remarkably 
globose form, short spire, convex volutions, and the distinct transverse striz of 
erowth, the shell being otherwise smooth and thin. The suture is impressed; the 
aperture oval; the columella moderately thickened and at its termination some- 
what twisted. 
Locality.—Olapaudy, in soft, finely oolitic rock; very rare. 
Formation.-—Arrialoor group.
