265. 18. ORTHOCERAS ANELLUM. 
Pu. XLIII. Figs. 6 a, b,c, d, e, f. 
Orthoceras anellus. Conran, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sciences, 1843, Vol. i, p. 334. 
Elongated, very gradually tapering, annulated by prominent sharp slightly sinuous 
ridges which are distant about one fourth the diameter of the shell, longitudinally marked 
by fine crowded wrinkled striz ; septa moderately convex ; siphuncle excentric, but not 
marginal ; section circular. 
This species is readily distinguished from any of the preceding by the angular approxi- 
mate annulations, which are sharper and more elevated than those of any other species 
known in the rock. The length of the larger fragment figured is one inch and a half: the 
diameter at the larger extremity is half an inch; at the smaller end, three eighths of an 
inch. The smaller specimen differs from the other in the striz being less crowded, though 
otherwise similar.

Fig. 6 c. Enlarged portion, showing the striz, which, on a great part of the surface, are covered by a 
calcareous coating. 
Fig. 6 d. A smaller fragment. e. Transverse section. f Portion of the surface enlarged. 
Position and locality. The larger specimen is from Mineral Point ( Wisconsin) , where it 
is associated with several other Trenton limestone species. The smaller specimen is from 
the lower part of the same rock at Middleville. (Cabinet of Mr. Conran.) 
266. 19. ORTHOCERAS UNDULOSTRIATUM (n. sp.). 
Pu. XLUI. Figs. 7a -k. 
Compare O. trochlearis, Hisrncrer, Leth. Suecica, pag. 28, pl. 9, fig. 7. 
Cylindrical, very gradually tapering, annulated by oblique undulating angular ridges, 
which are distant about one fourth the diameter ; annulations transverse on the ventral 
side, and abruptly arching towards the apex on the dorsal side; surface marked by fine 
crowded transverse undulating strie ; section circular ; siphuncle shghtly excentric. 
This species is readily distinguished from the others, by the transverse undulating striz 
without longitudinal lines. The annulations are subangular, and abruptly arched on the 
dorsal side, in this respect resembling the longitudinally striated species. In its external 
characters, it corresponds with O. trochlcaris of Histncer ut supra ; but the position of the 
siphuncle is more nearly central, and the annulations more angular. 
This species may be confounded with O. bilineatum, and the variety of that species, 
where the shell is removed ; but it differs from those, in the more angular character of the
