each whorl. About ten faint spiral threads cross the varices, forming 

 slight nodes at their intersection. A strong spiral cord ridges the 

 base of the body-whorl. The body-whorl is much expanded in com- 

 parison with the spire whorls. The spire whorls are decorated in a 

 similar fashion to the body-whorl. The varices, however, are less 

 numerous on the upper whorls. 



This is the first time that this genus has been reported from the 

 Eocene of the Pacific Slope. A cast of what appears to be this same 

 species was found in the Eocene of the Marysville Buttes. 



Dimensions. — Length, 13 mm. ; width of body-whorl, 5.5 mm.

GALEODEA SUTTERENSIS, n. sp. 

 Plate 40, figures 1 and 2 



Shell large, solid with great body-whorl and short spire ; whorls 

 seven, tabulate ; spire whorls exhibiting a well-marked nearly square 

 shoulder which is nodose at the crossing of the fine, sinuous growth 

 lines and the strong spiral line marking the shoulder ; fine spiral lines 

 subequal in strength decorationg whorls ; body- whorl at shoulder 

 marked by about fourteen sharp, elongate spinous nodes ; one or two 

 rows of nodes decorating body-whorl in addition to shoulder nodes ; 

 mouth oval ; outer lip thickened ; inner lip heavily incrusted ; canal 

 long and twisted. 



This species differs from G. tuberculata (Gabb) in its more spinous 

 nodes and in its much longer canal. 



Dimensions. — Length, 35 mm. ; width of body-whorl, 27 mm. 



Occurrence. — University of California Locality 1853. 



FICOPSIS COOPERII Gabb 

 Plate 37, figure 7 



Gabb's type was a much eroded specimen obtained from the Tejon 

 of Rose Canon, San Diego County, California. The specimen figured 

 in this paper shows three rows of sharply pointed nodes instead of 

 rounded ones on the body-whorl. The shoulder is markedly square 

 in contrast to Gabb's figure, in which there is a marked slope from 

 suture to second row of nodes on the body-whorl. As Gabb predicted, 

 the shell is ornamented by very fine spiral lines. Mouth has three 

 marked angulations on outer lip. This species is easily distinguished 

 from Ficopsis coivlitzensis Weaver by its larger nodes and by the
