E. cumingti by having fine longitudinal striation over the whole

more slender.

Nutting, from the University of Iowa. The specimen was destitute 
of the soft parts. The habitat of the species had not been previously 
known. It is a perfectly good species, not resembling either of the 
West American forms.
