Characters. — Shell subovate ; extremities sometimes subacute ; surface beset 

 witli tubercles, unequal and irregular ; septa obscure. 



Occurrence. — Pohjmoriihina Uiherculata has apparently not been recorded in a 

 recent condition. Fossil specimens hare been found in tlie Gault of North 

 Germany ; in the Miocene of Vienna (d'Orbigny), Lower Bavaria (Egger), and 

 Kostej in the Banat (Karrer) ; also in the Casterlian of Antwerp. 



The figured specimen is from the Coralline Crag, probably of Sutton.

Fossil specimens seem to be rare. The records are from the Oligocene of
