This species is well characterized by its finely serrated costae, which 

 do not extend far down from the calicle. The septa of the cycle pre- 

 ceding the last have well-formed but very thin pali or paliform lobes, 

 which are not found in the next species. 



Rare. The Museum has only one small specimen found living at 

 Looe Key. Florida Reef, aud a larger one from Cumana. 



* I have not seen any worn specimens with the septa forming such points aa represented. The 

 species cannot be made out satisfactorily.
