Gabb' s origijial description. — "Shell elongated fusiform, whorls 

 nine or ten, strongly carinate; mouth narrow, long, half the 

 length of the shell, inner lip curved with a very delicate coat of 

 enamel, so thin as to be visible only on a very well preserved speci- 

 men, outer lip thin, showing internally the marks of the larger ribs; 

 surface marked by about twenty-five revolving lines, smaller on 

 the shoulder of the whorl (except one large one at the upper 

 edge, below the suture) than elsewhere; in the largest specimens, 

 two or three of the principal ribs are compound; the rest are 

 simple, near the apex; on the upper two of the principal revolv- 

 ing lines are small tubercles which disappear in the succeeding 

 whorls 



"Dimensions. — I^ength, i.i in., length of mouth, .55 in., 

 width of body whorl 3 in." 



"The fine specimen figured, is in my colledlion from Caldwell 

 Co. , Texas. It is nearly twice as large as any other specimen I 

 have seen of the same species. ' ' 



A discussion of the slight differences between this and the Texas 

 IvOwer Claiborne species will be given in our Bulletin on that 

 horizon.
