NoTKS AND Remarks on Eocene Species. 



Heilprin's Species Published in 1880. 



Angelo Heilprin described in the Proceedings of the National 

 Museum, vol. 3, 1880, a number of new forms, the types of 

 which are now in the Museum. Through the kindness of W. 

 H. Dall, I have been able to borrow the originals, and have 

 had them carefully redrawn. The following notes are added by 

 Harris and myself. 



Crassatella declivis, * PI. 3, figs, i, a. 



Syn. C. declivis Heilp., /. r., p. 151, pi., fig. 9. 



This and C. capri-crayihim Rogers are now considered to be 

 variations of C. alceformis Con., Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci., vol. vi, p. 

 228, pi. 10, fig. I, 1830. Length, 1% inches. 



The typical locality for C. declivis is Aquia creek, Va. 



"Terebra" plicifera, PI. 3, figs. 2, a. 



Syn. T. plicifera Heilp., /. r., p, 151, pi., fig. 8. 



The drawing herewith given is of one of the type .specimens 

 in the U. S. National Museum. The locality given for these 

 specimens is Atascosa county, Texas. They are somewhat fri- 

 able, and from a blue clay matrix. Casts and imprints of this 

 species were colledled by members of the Texas Geological Sur- 

 vey on Peeler's ranch in Atascosa county. Although the aper- 

 ture cannot now be determined beyond a doubt, it certainly in- 

 dicates a close relationship with the Cerites. If it proves to be 

 a Cerithium then the specific name must be changed, for it is 

 preoccupied. 



Levifusus pagoda, PI. 3, fig. 3. 



Syn. Pleurotoma pagoda Heilp., /. r., p. 149, pi., fig. i. 



Ftisus pagodiformis Heilp., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., 1880, p. 375. 

 Fusus pagodcrfoi-mis Heilp., Ibid., 1890, p. 395. 

 Levifusus pagoda var., Har., Bull. Amer. Paleont., vol. i, .p. 207, 

 pi. 19, fig. 8, 1896. 



The reasons given by Harris for placing this species among 

 the Levifisi may be found on p. 207 as cited above. A more 

 elaborate discussion of the subjeA will be given in his forth- 

 coming Bulletin on the L,ignitic Stage. 



Heilprin gives simply " Kocene of Alabama" for the horizon
