Holopea wakehami nov. 



Plate 15, figures 9-1 1 



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

 and small obscure earlier whorls, suture impressed, hight to width as 4 to 3. 

 Aperture broadly oval, entire ; inner lip thickened and slightly excavated. 

 Whorls 4. Surface smooth or covered with very fine concentric lines. 

 Average dimensions, hight 7 mm, width 5 mm. Distinguished from 

 H. gaspesia by its rounder, more compact form, fuller whorls and more 

 depressed spire. This species is in some of its expressions almost a minia- 

 ture of the common Macrochilus hamiltoniae Hall of the 

 Hamilton shales of New York. 



Locality. Common at the Portage road. 



Species name. Commander Wakeham of La Canadienne, inspector 

 of fisheries in Gaspe.

This is a species characterized by a somewhat elevated spire, the whorls 

 along the suture depressed or flattened and the surface covered by sharp 

 concentric lines. It seems to resemble in all its visible details the species 

 referred to which was described from the Onondaga limestone of Columbus, 

 Ohio. 



Locality. Portage road, Gaspe Basin.

From the expression of the somewhat variable specimens of this species 

 in the calcareous and arenaceous Hamilton fauna of New York, the Gaspe 

 shells vary (i) in respect to size, being smaller, (2) in the matter of the 

 form of the spire, which is somewhat more turreted, (3) in the more sup- 

 pressed revolving knotted ridge near the sutures and (4) in the greater 

 elevation of the slit band on the early whorls. Agreement is evident in the 

 relative proportions of the shells, the broad upper slope of the whorls, 

 markedly strong concentric line, the elevation of the slit-band above the 

 suture and the smooth or concentrically lined lower surface of the whorls. 



Locality. Not common at Gaspe Basin, Portage road. 



Varietal name : Chrestien Leclercq, Recollet missionary in Gaspe, 

 1675, and author of Nouvellc Rclatioji de la Gaspesie, 169T,
