defined radial ridges ; the umbonal ridge, separated from the me- 

 dian ridge by a moderately deep broadening groove and in front 

 of this a depression bounded by a still lower sometimes quite vague 

 elevation. Some of Beushausen's species of Prosocoelus, espe- 

 cially P. ellipticus (Schalke, Hartz) have much the outline 

 and expression of this shell. There are specimens in our collec- 

 tions that indicate a more orbicular outline quite similar to that 

 of P. orbicularis Beushausen. 1 I am not altogether certain 

 whether these represent the latter species or may be compressed 

 specimens of the former. The evidence seems to favor the former 

 view.

 deeply sulcate from umbo to basal margin. Umbonal ridge con- 

 spicuous, blunt and broadly curved, exterior with low irregular 

 concentric folds.

 duplicate, there being on the whole on the lateral slope two
