TO 



Of this Hamite there is a single specimen which exhibits most of the 

 essential parts of the shell. It is cylindrical and tapering ; the oral extre- 

 mity appears to have been somewhat inflated. The surface is furrowed by 

 numerous transverse sulcations, which are continuous to the back, though 

 not in all cases equal ; they are separated from each other by somewhat 

 acute "ribs. The shell bends with a sudden curve, and is then produced 

 into a rapidly diminishing posterior extremity, running nearly straight and 

 parallel with the oral portion.
