 1893; E. acuminata. Trans. Roy. Geol. Soc. Cornwall, vol. xii, p. 150, pi. iii, fig. 7,1898. 



Varietal Characters. — Shell smaller, more slender and delicate than the type ; 

 whorls 7—8, flattened, the last distinctly angnlate ; faintly ornamented l)y the lines 

 of growth ; spire elongate, regularly diminishing in size npwards to an acute 

 point ; suture well defined but not deej) ; month oval, angulated above, patulous 

 below ; inner lip reflected on the pillar, obscuring a shallow groove behind. 



Dimensions. — L. 14 mm. B. 5 mm. 



Distribution. — Not known living. 



Fossil : St. Erth. Cornlline (*rag : Boyton. Scaldisien : Holland. 



Remarks. — This shell was originally described by Mr. A. Bell from a specimen 

 obtained by him at St. Ei-th ; when found it was of a deep reddish colour with a 

 bright yellow stripe round the base, but it soon faded and assumed the usual hue 

 of the present fossils. A specimen of this variety was also sent me by Br. Tesch, 

 from the Scaldisien of one of the Dutch borings at Oploo, which is here represented 

 (fig. 24).

Trans. Roy. Geol. Soc. Cornwall, vol. xii, p. 150, pi. iii, fig. 2, 1898. 



Varietal Glidracter^-. — Differs from the type J^. ti'n-hi'Udta in size and in its 

 shorter, wider and more abruptly conical spire. 



Dimensions. — L. 8 mm. B. 5 mm. 



Distrihntion. — Not known living. 



Fossil: St. Erth. Waltonian Crag: Little Oakley; probably at 

 other localities, with the type form, in the lower horizons of the Crag. 



BemarJiS. — The specimen figured under this name belongs to the British 

 Museum. It differs in no essential respect from the Crag E. terebellata, except in 

 its abruptly tapering spire, and may be regarded, I think, as a variety of that species.
