 genus yet found in the Chipola beds. General form conic, with 

 eight whorls exclusive of the eroded nucleus ; spire moderately 

 elevated,- not convex in profile ; last whorl distinctly shouldered ; 

 surface of shell eroded in small circular spots which may be an

 faint lines near the base of the shell ; lines of growth incon- 

 spicuous. Length of shell 60 ; greatest width 38 mm.
