ANISOMYON, Meek and Hayden. 

 A. Meekii, n. s. 



PI. 21, Fig. 105. 



Shell elliptical, very tliin ; the width and length are about 

 as 5 to 6; apex moderately elevated, small, nearly central; 

 sides sloping nearly straight in all directions to the base. Sur-

Figures, natural size. 



Locality: North fork of Cottonwood Creek. (Division A.)

 A. impressus, n. s. 



PI. 21, Fig. 10C. 



Shell subovoid, elongated; spire moderately high; whorls six, 

 slightly convex; suture channelled. Upper third of body whorl, 

 and all of the preceding whorls, smooth; lower two thirds 

 marked by from twelve to fifteen regular impressed grooves; the 

 interspaces are scmare and flat; those above plain, or with a 

 slight depression in the centre, which becomes deeper anteriorly, 

 until these are as large as the first set of grooves. Aperture 

 narrow; outer lip simple; inner lip incrusted with a thin plate. 

 Columella truncated abruptly in advance, and not reaching the
