 (Tongr. de Rennes, p. 472); of the Paris basin, Cossmann and 

 Lambert (Olig. d'Htampes, p. 55), Stanislaus-Meunier (Pierre- 

 fitte, p. 237). Dr. Dall [loc. cit., p. 375) regards Natica missis- 

 sippiensis Con. {Proc. Acad. Nat. Sd., Phila., iii, 1847, p. 283) as 

 a variety of the European species. Anipullina crassatina Lmk., 

 var. mississippiensis Con. is reported from the Eocene of Alabama, 

 and from the Oligocene beds of Red Bluff and Vicksburg, Miss. 

 The variet}' is narrower and more elevated than the type (Dall).

Oligocene of the Chipola River and of Oak Grove, Florida. 

 This species was identified by Adams with Area lan.ea Lin. from 

 the Aquitanian of the Bordelais (Degrange-Touzin, Le Thil). 

 Dr. Dall {loc. cit., pp. 629, 630) thinks certain minor differences 

 sufficiently constant to distinguish the species, which are, how- 

 ever, unquestionably closely allied. 



European Oligocene species in Aynerican Eocene and Miocene 

 beds. It may not be without interest to note that a number of 

 European species, or their analogues, are found in the American 

 Eocene and Miocene beds, but have not been, as yet, reported 

 from the Oligocene. Among these are the following:

TORNATELLA BELLA Conrad 

 Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 2nd ser., iv, p. 294. 



According to Heilprin (Contr. Tert. Geol., p. 91), there is 

 no difference between this Eocene species and the European 

 Auricula {Actceon) siniidata {Bulla simulata) Brander(Foss. hant., 

 p. 29, pi. 4, fig. 61). By Eiiropean authors it is usually placed 

 in the genus Tornatella. Reported from European Oligocene by 

 Nyst (Coq. et poly, foss., p. 423), De Koninck (Coq. foss. Baesele, 

 p. 8), Koenen {Pal. 16, p. 121), Cossmann and Lambert (Olig. 

 d'E^tampes, p. 120).
