CANCELI.AR1A TORTIPLICA Conrad 



This species is intimately allied with Cancellaria {Buccinum) 

 evulsa Brander. The spire of the American species is slenderer 

 and more elevated (Heilprin, Contr. Tert. Geol., p. 93). Ameri- 

 can Eocene. 



Cancellaria evulsa is common in the Oligocene of northern 

 Europe. It is cited by Speyer (Sollingen, p. 268), Nyst (Coq. et 

 poly, foss., p. 477), Lepsius (Mainz Beck.), De Koninck (Coq. 

 foss. Baesele, p. 10), Koenen (Mit. Olig. N. D. Pal., 16, p. 71), 

 Beyrich (Conch. N. D. Tert. Zeits., 8, p. 556, pi. 26, figs. 2, a, b, 

 c, 3, 4, 5)- 



PYRULA PENITA Conrad 

 Foss. Shells of Tert., p. 32. 



Heilprin (Contr. Geol., p. 92) identifies this Eocene shell 

 with P. nexilis Sol. Pyrula nexilis is reported from the German 

 Oligocene by Beyrich (Conch. N. D. Tert. Zeits., 6, p. 773, pi. 

 15, figs. 2, a) and by Spe3^er (Cassel, Pal., 9, p. 187).
