over whose summits passes a heavy, raised spiral line ; body 

 whorl rendered slightly bicarinate by a strong, raised spiral, 

 proceeding forward from the upper limit of the aperture ; below 

 this spiral are others diminishing in strength to the end of the 

 canal. 



Differs from sute?'i by lack of a bisecfted carina, lack of 

 spiral lines on the spire, and the presence of a long, straight, 

 Fusoid canal.

Plate 6, fig. 10, shows a very stout specimen of this species, 

 with carinal spines unusually close to the suture. The great 

 mass of Woods bluff specimens are more fusiform with carinal 

 .spines raised some little distance above the .suture. Their 

 largest or body whorl is apt to have few and weak spines. At 

 Gregg's landing the .specimens are nioi'e in harmony with the 

 figure, though the spines on the larger whorls of specimens 

 from that landing are rather more numerous. At Yellow bluff 

 the specimens are still stouter and spines still more numerous. 

 From Oakhill, (See Bull, i, p. 207), a Midway locality, the 

 species again goes back to its normal size, but is more strongly 

 marked by .spiral heavy lines on the body whorl and a tendency 

 to split the carinal spines by an incised .spiral line, .such as is well 

 developed in L. suteri.
