231. 8. MURCHISONIA PERANGULATA, var. A. 
Pu. XXXVIII. Figs. 7 a, 0d. 
Subfusiform ; spire elongated, direct, apex sharp; volutions six or more, close, angular, 
not ventricose, gradually enlarging below; mesial angle very prominent, appressed above 
and below; mesial band double, as in .M. bicincta ; surface marked by distinct vertical 
strie, which make an abrupt retra] angle on the mesial band ; aperture not visible. 
This species resembles the M. bicincta in its surface markings, but the volutions are more 
numerous, and enlarge much more gradually below; it is also less ventricose, and the 
upper carina of each volution is nearer the suture. It will probably prove identical with 
M. perangulata of the Birdseye limestone, which differs only in the absence of the upper 
carina, which is distinct in this one.

232. 9. MURCHISONIA UNIANGULATA (1. sp.). 
Pu. XXXVIIL. Fig. 8. 
Fusiform ; spire elongated, rapidly ascending, acute ; volutions about five, angular, the 
last one ventricose below ; aperture oval, extended below ; surface marked by a single 
carina upon the centre of the volutions, which are crossed by vertical striae bending back- 
wards upon the carina. 
This species has the form of the last one, but the volutions ascend more rapidly, and 
there is but a single carination upon the centre of the volution. The latter character dis- 
tinguishes it from the other species, which all have a smaller carina near the upper margin 
of the volution ; and the last whorl has one below the centre, corresponding to the sutural 
line, which is not seen in the present species. 
Position and locality. This species occurs with the preceding at Middleville.
