 Leda muliilincata Conr., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vii., p. 258, 1855 ; Wailes, Geol. 

 Miss., p. 289, xiv., fig. 4 (bad), 1854. 



Eocene : Moody's branch beds, Jackson, Mississippi ; Wahtubbee Hills, 

 Clarke County, Mississippi ; near Hickory; four and a half miles east of Shu- 

 buta, eight miles west of Enterprise, and six miles west of De Soto; Oligocene: 

 Vicksburg limestone, Mississippi, Burns ; nummulitic beds near Martin Station, 

 Florida, Willcox. Length of figured shell 20 mm.

 top of the Lower Oligocene, has not hitherto been well figured, for which 

 reason I have given an illustration of it.

 obsolete dorsally behind and on the dorsal and anterior portions in front ;

 late area extending from the point of the rostrum to the beaks; anterior end 

 of shell rounded, base arcuate, posterior end with a short, bluntly pointed 

 rostrum ; hinge solid, with about sixteen anterior and fourteen posterior V-
