I identify with this little known shell from the New Scotland beds a 

 turreted species with subacutely sloping whorls, the edge of which bears a 

 narrow slit band and the upper and lower surfaces are covered with very 

 fine crowded striae with retral curve to the periphery. 



Locality. The Grand Cavee. 



Eotomaria cartieri nov. 



Plate 16, figures 21, 22 



Shell rather small with low spire, 3-4 whorls, broad at the base. 

 Slit-band sharply defined lying at or making an angle of about 90° between 

 the lower and upper divisions of the whorls, the lower surface being convex 

 and the upper slightly concave or flat. As the sutures are deep and the 

 slit-band well elevated above the suture line the whorls have a sharply step- 

 shaped appearance. The sculpture, so far as observable, consists wholly of 

 concentric growth lines. Width of base in the original specimen 20 mm ; 

 hight of spire 18 mm. 



Locality. Grande Cavee of Griffon Cove River. 



Specific name. Jacques Cartier, intrepid discoverer of New France, 

 who erected the insignia of his sovereign just across the Bay from this spot,

This large and rather fine species has a flabellate outline with umbones 

 almost at the anterior end of the hinge. The hinge line is very long and 

 straight terminating posteriorly on the extreme point of a very broad pos- 

 terior wing. The incurvature from this wing toward the body of the shell 

 is but slight, but the area is set off by a low, broad depression on the surface 

 and a distinct change of curvature in the surface lines. The body of this 

 shell is broad and transverse, the curvature being regularly suboval, while
