Miocene of Maryland at St. Mary's River, and of Virginia at Windmill

This fine species is readily recognized by its high, trigonal form, few high, 

 even, recurved concentric ribs, and absence of radial sculpture. It was con- 

 fused by Say with another species which he figured under this name from 

 North Carolina, where, so far as I have been able to discover, C. alveata is 

 unknown.
