Loxonema sp. cf. funatum A. Roemer 



A shell of relatively rare occurrence with very faint sinuous 

 ridges on the internal cast. It suggests the species referred 



Loxonema cf. funatum 



to from the]i Spiriferensandstein of the Hartz mountains. 

 Lower Devonic. Edmunds Hill, Chapman Plantation, Me. 



Holopea gaspesia nov. 



Shell rather small. Spire short, whorls three to four, some- 

 what flattened beneath. Expansion rapid, sutures sharp but not 

 deep though the sutural region may be flattened; nonumbilicate. 

 Stoma subcircular. Surface with fine and close concentric lines 

 which about the sutures are gathered into coarse raised radii which 

 are lost before traversing one half the whorl. Some specimens 



Holopea gaspesia 



show a series of two or more revolving raised lines on the body 

 at and below the periphery and two of these may be the boun- 

 daries of a slit band, though this feature can not be determined 

 from the sandstone casts. This, however, does not appear to be 

 a prevalent character of the species. 



Dimensions. An average specimen has a hight of lo mm and 

 a basal diameter of 9 mm. 



Middle Devonic. Gaspe Basin, P. Q. 



Holopea wakehami nov. 



Shell small, compact, with depressed spire, full ventricose body 

 whorl and small obscure earlier whorls, suture impressed, hight
