Older Miocene of the Chipola beds ? Pliocene of the Caloosahatchie, 

 Dall ; living on the coast of the Southeastern United States southward from 

 Cape Fear, N. Car., to the Florida Keys, and in the West Indies to Barbados, 

 in 15-20 fathoms. 



A fragment evidently of this genus, and which as far as it goes agrees well 

 with the Pliocene specimens, was obtained by Mr. Burns at Chipola. The 

 Caloosahatchie shells agree in the minutest particular with those of the same 

 size from the recent fauna, but there is one specimen from the Caloosahatchie 

 which measures 27 mm. long by 16 wide and 6 high, which is larger than any 

 recent specimen I have seen.

Fossil in the Pliocene of the Caloo.sahatchie, Dall, and Alligator Creek, 

 Willcox; living from Marco, Florida (Hemphill), to Vera Cruz, Mexico, and 

 in the Antilles, and the eastern coast of South America to Fernando Noronha 

 (E. A. Smith). 



Both the Sowerbys confounded this species with that afterward called 

 adspersa Phil. ; the name cancellata in the Tankerville Catalogue stands with- 

 out any description or figure. In the Conchological Illustrations, in my 

 opinion, we have figured, under the name of cancellata, a specimen of ad- 

 spersa, the unpublished Foraminella Sowcrbii of Guilding, or the L^icapina 

 elegans of Gray, according to the elder Sowerby. 



In the Thesaurus we have a specimen of suffusa (fig. 187) and one of 

 adspersa (fig. 189) joined under the name of cancellata. The name o{ siiffiisa 

 positively applies to the species now under consideration, while there is more 

 or less doubt as to the others. I have therefore adopted the name in this 

 place, pending more accurate information. 



The fossil specimens happen to be extremely depressed, and by some 

 accident were not recognized, until after a figure had been prepared, as identical 

 with suffusa, but there is no doubt as to their relationship.
