768 CRETACEOUS PALEONTOLOGY. 



Remarks. — Only the internal casts of this species have been 

 observed. These resemble' similar casts of T. alabamensis^ but 

 they are always shorter, with the volutions less regularly rounded 

 over the periphery, and they do' not attain so large a size. They 

 differ from the casts of T. parva in being somewhat larger, in 

 having a more elevated spire and in the more nearly vertical 

 position of the nodes. The species is, in fact, somewhat inter- 

 mediate in its characters between T. alabamensis and T. parva, 

 and has been observed only from the Merchantville clay-marl, 

 while these other two species are both Navesink species.

Description. — Internal casts, exclusive of the anterior canal, 

 subglobose in form, with a moderately elevated spire, which has 

 an apical angle of about 85", consisting of about three and one- 

 half volutions; the dimensions of a nearly complete internal 

 cast are: height, 36 mm.; height of spire, 9 mm.; greatest 

 diameter, 26 mm. Volutions increasing rather rapidly in
