7S6 CRETACEOUS PALEONTOLOGY. 



Description. — The dimensions of the figured specimen are: 

 height, 15 mm.; height of spire, 4 mm.; greatest diameter, 8 

 mm. ; apical angle, 60°. Shell fusiform with about three or 

 four volutions, spire conical and turrited, the outer volution pro- 

 duced below into a straight anterior canal O'f moderate length. 

 Suture moderately distinct; upper surface of the volutions flat- 

 tened or a little concave, sloping downward from the suture to 

 the line of greatest diameter, which is marked with a row of 

 about 14 or 15 vertically elongate nodes upon each volution; 

 on the volutions of the spire these nodes originate at about 

 the middle and continue downward to the suture below, which 

 is flexuose on account of the projection of the nodes; on the 

 body volution the surface below the row of nodes is gently 

 convex above, becoming concave below as it passes into the 

 anterior canal. Entire surface of the shell marked with fine 

 revolving lines. 



Remarks. — The New Jersey examples of this species have 

 been compared with Gabb's type of the species, and they seem 

 to be identical in all essential specific characteristics. 



Formation and locality. — Wenonah sand, near Crawfords 

 Corner (12.6*). 



Geographic distribution. — New Jersey, Alabama. 



Fusus cliffwoodensis n. sp. 



Plate LXXXIX., Figs. 6-7. 



Description. — The dimensions of the type specimen arc. 

 height, 18.5 mm.; height of spire, 5.1J mm.; greatest diameter, 

 10 mm.; apical angle, 75°. Shell fusiform with about four 

 volutions, suture fairly well defined, outer volution produced 

 below into a short, anterior canal. Outer volution flattened 

 above, the upper surface short, sloping slightly downward from 

 the suture to the periphery ; below the periphery the slope is long 

 and gently convex, becoming concave below as it passes into the 

 anterior canal; periphery marked with about 12 or 14 strong 

 nodes, which are much elongate anteriorly, reaching about half 

 way from the periphery to the extremity of the anterior canal.
