Syn. Caricellaria, n. sp. , Harris, 4th. Ann. Rep. Geol. Surv. 

 p. 120. 



Specific characterization.— Size and general form as indicated 

 by the figure ; whorls about 5 ; blunt at apex ; spire as a whole 

 slightly convex ; longitudinal lirations varying considerably in 

 strength, all comparatively weak ; spiral striation even, plainly 

 visible though not deep ; aperture lirate within ; columella long, 

 nearly straight, with two supra-medial strong plications ; umbili- 

 cus comparatively well developed. 



Range in depth.— From 2,552 to 2,600 feet. 



OLIVA. 



Oliva reticularis PI. 3, fig. 12. 



Syn. O. reticularis lyam., Ann. du Mus., vol. 16, 18 10, 

 P- 314- 

 Oliva literata Har. , 4th Ann. &c., p. 121. 



O. literata and reticularis are certainly voxy closely allied, and 

 without the aid of the color markings their discrimination is diffi- 

 cult. The well specimens are referred to the latter species on ac- 

 count of their short spire and broad short form. See Reeve's fig- 

 ures. 



Range iyi depth. — From 2,158 to 2,920 feet. 



OLIVELLA. 



Olivella galvestonensis, n. sp. PI. 3, fig. 13. 



Syn. Olivella, n. sp., Har., 4th Ann. &c. , p. 121. 



Specific characterisation. — General form as indicated by the fig- 

 ure ; whorls about 5, smooth ; suture deep and prominent, well 

 calloused as it approaches the aperture ; outer lip rather thin on 

 the margin, with numerous lirations within ; inner lip with a cal- 

 losity which extends to the suture of the penultimate whorl, and 

 upon this callosity a second extending from the base upwards two 

 thirds the length of the columella ; columella dentato-lirate, at 

 base with a strong fold which follows up the axis of the shell to 

 the apex, as seen in broken specimens. 



Range in depth.— From 2,410 to 2,871 feet.
