This small and slender species from the Oriskany of Becraft mountain 

 has no vertical grooves on the four faces but the transverse striae make' a 

 sharp upward turn medially ; the striae themselves are very faintly tubercled'. 



Grande Greve shells of this character are provisionally placed here. 



Locality. Grande Greve. 



Conularia desiderata Hall van tuzoi nov, 



Plate II, figure :3 



This is a large shell having the surface characters similar to those of 

 Cl desiderata, that is consisting of fine transverse lines bending back- 

 Avard at the center and bearing extremely obscure tubercles visible only when 

 the preservation is exceptional. Unlike C. desiderata the shells bear 

 evidence of a faint median vertical but not interrupting line on each face. 



Locality. Perce Rock. 



Variety term. Tuzo, a well known Jersey patronymic at Percel 



Conularia penouili nov. 



Plate II, figures lo, ii 



A large species distinctly grooved at the angles and ridged at themiddle 

 of each face. The concentric markings are elevated lines close together 

 and curving broadly upward. These are smooth on the- edge, without orna- 

 ment, but the interspaces have sculpturing consisting of a series of low sub- 

 circular depressions in transverse rows separated by elevated surfaces which 

 may take on the form- of short convex pillars. This ornamient^ is only about 

 the middle of each face ; toward the edges it fades away or is replaced by 

 fine longitudinal puckers starting with' the upper slope of a transverse ridge 

 and passing down the-slope and part- way across' the interspace. 



Locality. Found loose in a limestone block at the Peninsula, Gasp^; 



Specific name. To the early French explorers Gaspe bay was- the Bale 

 du Penouil.
