Trochotoma acuminata, Besl. Plate X, figs. 18a, 20. 



Trochotoma acuminata, Deslongchamps. 1842. Mem. Soc. Linn, de Normandie, 



torn, vii, p. 108, pi. 8, figs. 11—15. 

 Ditkemaria acuminata, DOib. 1850, Prod. Pal£ont., p. 301. 



T. Testa conicd, spird plus minusve data, lesvi aid substriatd; apice acuminato ; 

 anfractibus (7, 8) ex apice ad aperturam magis d magis tumescentibus donee ultimus sub- 

 quadrat as fiat ; infimd facie dilatatd, in medio cavum infunbibuliformem ferente, ad peri- 

 phariam concentrice striata. (Deslongchamps.) 



Shell conical, spire more or less elevated, smooth, or slightly striated ; apex acute ; 

 whorls (7, 8) gradually increasing from the apex until the last whorl becomes subquadrate ; 

 the lower surface has a very deep but somewhat contracted cavity, which is concentrically 

 striated. 



This is the most elevated or conical of the Great Oolite species. The last volution is 

 distinctly striated, the rib posterior to the aperture being very prominent ; the height and 

 basal diameter are about equal. 



Locality. Great Oolite of Minchinhampton and Bussage ; Langrune, France. 



Trochotoma conuloides, Besl. Plate X, fig. 16. 



Trochotoma conulotdes, Deslongchamps. 1842. Mem. Soc. Linn, de Normandie, 



torn, vii, p. 109, pi. 8, figs. 1G— 19. 

 Ditremaria — DOrb. Prod. Paleont., p. 301. 



T. Testa conicd, apice acato; anfractibus (5, 6) concentrice striatis, planis ; ultimo 

 anfractu vix ad fissuram dilatato ; basi ad periphceriam convexiusculd, striata, in medio 

 profunde excavatd. 



Shell regularly conical, apex acute ; whorls (5, 6) concentrically striated, flattened ; 

 the lower surface convex, striated, and deeply excavated. 



The volutions are narrow and flattened, the encircling rib narrow and elevated ; the 

 figure is very oblique, the basal diameter exceeds the height by one fourth. 



Our figure is somewhat reduced. 



Locality. Great Oolite of Minchinhampton and Bussage ; Luc, Langrune, France.
