Volvula cylindrica Gabb 1873, Trans, Phil. Soc, n. s. 15, p. 

 246. 



The name Volvula cylindrica used by Gabb in 1873 for a 

 shell from Santo Domingo was previously used in literature and 

 applied in 1863 by Carpenter to a recent species from Santa Bar- 

 bara, California. His description at that time is too inadequate 

 and would therefore be rejected but in 1865 he gave a full de- 

 scription of this species thus making the name valid from the 

 latter date. 



New Species from thf Eocene at New CAvSTle, Virginia. 



In a former number* of the Bulletins of American Paleontol- 

 ogy, we published a few notes and descriptions of new species 

 from Eocene localities in Virginia. The material had been col- 

 lected on the I St expedition of the lanthina to the south, in 1897. 

 Recently, (summer of 1920), Mr. Axel Olssen collected material 

 from Newcastle, Virginia and more material from the '97 trip 

 was found in the laboratory which had not been worked up. 

 Both of these collections contained some interesting new things 

 as well as a greater number of the old. 



From the material we have revised and increased the list of 

 species identified from Newcastle, Virginia and include the list in 

 this article. 



The species described are all from Newcastle, Virginia and 

 are all of St. Maurice, Eocene age. The types or specimens fig- 

 ured are in the Paleontological Museum of Cornell University .
