This species has never been described, but was referred to by 

 Heilprin as follows : "The large species of Caricella from 

 Knight's branch agrees so closely with the figures of Voluta 

 baudoni D^sh. (Animaux sans Vertebres, Ba.ssin de Paris, 11, pi. 

 102, figs. 13 and 14), from the Paris basin, that I do not feel 

 justified in considering it a distind: species. The American 

 form appears to have been somewhat more elevated, but this is 

 probably no more than a varietal circumstance. 



"Length, 4 inches. Knight's branch, Clark Co., Alabama. 



Dall says very properly "that the Voluta baudoyii of Deshayes, 

 to which this species was referred in 1880 by Prof. Heilprin, is 

 not likely to be a Caricella or nearly related to the present 

 species. ' '

 thirds the length of the shell ; columella 4-plaited. Length,
