1916] Moody: Fauna of the Fernando of Los Angeles 53 



ribbing is found to be heavier on the variety ; and further only seven- 

 teen spiral ribs occur on it, while from twenty to twenty-two appear 

 on each of the specimens of C. dims in the University of California 

 museum collection. 



Only one individual was found. 



TEOPHON EAYMONDI, n.sp. 

 Plate 1, Figures la, lb 

 Univ. Calif. Coll. Invert, Palaeont., no. 11088. Type locality, Fourth and 

 Broadway, Los Angeles. 



Shell small, enlongate, fusiform ; spire consists of four tabulated 

 whorls with cylindrical walls, each bearing about twelve pointed 

 spinous nodes which project above the prominent angulation, but die 

 out rapidly below in the faint transverse ridges which alone ornament 

 the whorls. Body-whorl ventricose, enlongate, bearing fourteen sharp 

 nodes which increase in size and elevation above the tabulation toward 

 the peristome ; no spiral sculpture ; transverse ornamentation consists 

 merely of coarse incremental lines. Aperture enlongate ; outer lip 

 thick, slightly reflexed ; inner lip smooth, not incrusted ; columella long, 

 straight; canal long, straight, narrow. 



Dimensions. — Longitude, 14.0 mm. ; latitude, 5.0 mm. 



The long straight canal, sharp nodes, and unadorned whorls of this 

 form seem unique characters which readily permit its separation from 

 other members of this genus on the coast. 



At least eighteen well preserved specimens were obtained which 

 show great variation in size, the dimensions given being those of an 

 average specimen. 



COLUMBELLA (ASTYBIS) CONSTANTIA, n.sp. 

 Plate 1, Figures 7a, 7b 

 Univ. Calif. Coll. Invert. Palaeont., no. 11079. Type locality, Fourth and 

 Broadway, Los Angeles. 



Shell small, light, rather thick; apex acute, with seven slightly 

 rounded whorls. The body-whorl bears an indistinct angulation below 

 the center, but except for very fine incremental lines the whorls are 

 otherwise unadorned. The suture is distinctly appressed. The 

 columella is recurved and striated inside and outside with from nine to 

 twelve spiral ridges which rapidly die out as the body-whorl enlarges 

 from the pillar. Aperture elliptical ; inner lip smooth and not in- 

 crusted; outer lip thin, without crenulations. The canal is long, 

 narrow and recurved.
