34 NOETLING: MARINE FOSSILS FROM MIOCENE, UPPER BURMA, 



outer lip is thick, the inner lip sharp, and separated from the colu- 

 mella by a fine furrow ; a single plait visible just at the place where 

 the last whorl contracts. 



Locality. — Very common at Minbu, but rarer at Yenangyat. 



Remarks.— C lav ella djocdjocartde has been described by K. Martin 

 on very insufficient material, inasmuch as he had only three speci- 

 mens for examination ; the figure he gives is also very rudimentary, 

 as it shows only the aperture and the last whorl, but notwithstand- 

 ing this I am convinced that the specimens from Burma are identical 

 with those from Java. There can be no mistake about the remark- 

 able difference of the sculpture of the spire and body-whorl ; the 

 single plait on the columella is a further identical feature ; the 

 original of K. Martin's fig. 105 was apparently much rolled because it 

 does not show the revolving lines ; now none of my specimens from* 

 Minbu show the revolving lines on the last whorl, they are apparent- 

 ly worn away, and they are only faintly visible on the spire, while 

 those from Yenangyat which were apparently not much rolled 

 show them very well. K. Martin does not mention the engraved 

 revolving lines,, and if I had had only specimens from Minbu, I should 

 not have noticed them at all ; I therefore do not attach too much 

 importance to this feature, although it may seem that the specimens- 

 from Burma differ in this from the type specimens.

The specimens are not well preserved, but still they permit deter- 

 mination ; the fusiform shell must have attained a considerable size, 

 as some of the fragments belong to specimens of not less than 45 mm* 

 in height ; it consisted of at least seven whorls, of which the last one is 

 strongly contracted in front ; the spire is high, the suture deep, slightly 

 undulating ; the sculpture consists of thick knob-like short longitudi- 

 nal ribs, acuminate at both ends ; across these run fine revolving lines 

 a little irregular in strength, which become stronger on the frontal
