592 PLIOCENE MOLLUSCA. 



rounded and not keeled, whereas onr shell is shown under the microscope 

 to he distinctly angulated. M. Dantzenberg thought it might be the same as 

 the one descril)ed by Wood in his first Supplement, pt. i, p. 67, pi. vii, fig. 4, 

 as E. cjlahelhi, but the original type of that species given in his Monograph 

 of 1848, pt. i, p. 98, ])1. xix, fig. 2, is very different, to wliich our pi-esent specimen 

 has but little resemblance and cannot be affiliated.^ The only solution of the 

 difficult}' is to give the latter a new and distinctive naine, which it well deserves. 

 It is a special and interesting form.

1879. EuUma robusta, S. V. Wood, Mou. Crag Moll., -Jiid Suppl., p. 2S, pi. iv, fig. 17. 



Specific Clharactey.i. — Shell strong and solid, elongato-conical ; whorls about 7, 

 gradually increasing, very slightly convex, the last somewhat less than one-half 

 the total length, with a rounded base ; spire comparatively short, regularly tapering 

 to a blunt and twisted apex ; suture slight, rather oblique ; mouth ovate, acutely 

 angulate above, rounded below ; outer li[) nearly straight, not expanded ; inner lip 

 refiected on the pillar. 



Dimeimons. — L. lU mm. B. 3 nun. 



Distribution. — Not known livino:. 



Fossil : Coralline Crag : Boyton. Waltonian : Little Oakley. 

 Newbournian : Waldrin<>-field. 



Remarks. — This fossil was considered by A. Bell and recognised by Wood as a 

 new and distinct s[)ecies on the strength of a specimen the former had fcjund at 

 Waldringfield, which the latter regai'ded as derivative from some older deposit. 

 I have since obtained half a dozen more at Oakley [)recisely similar, which lead me 

 to the conclusion that at that place at least it is a genuine Crag shell. It is 

 a strong, coarse form with a short truncated spire, apparently distinct from any 

 other of the Crag species of Eulima. Wood remarked that the whorls of the 

 Waldringfield fossil were convex, but to neither his specimen nor to mine is this 

 remark altogether apjjlicable, and it was probably an oversight,
