1914] English: The Fernando Group near Newhall, California 217 



ridges which slope slightly to the left and are most prominent on 

 upper part of whorl near angle, but not present on the shoulder; shell 

 spirally marked by two to three lines above and seven to eight lines 

 below shoulder; body whorl and columella ornamented by twenty-five 

 spiral lines which are sometimes sub-equal and alternating; aperture 

 narrow; outer lip thin and smooth, prominently reflected; deep pos- 

 terior sinus next to suture, outer edge of the sinus along the line of 

 angulation ; canal short, curved slightly backwards from the aperture ; 

 columella smooth. 



This species is close to Turris coalingensis, from which it differs 

 in having spiral lines finer and more numerous, and in having no 

 difference in the coarseness of sculpture on body whorl and on colu- 

 mella. It differs from Mangila tabulatus from Bathhouse Beach, Santa 

 Barbara, as figured by Arnold by having finer spiral ribbing and a 

 shorter canal. 



Altitude, 29 mm.; width. 11 mm.; mouth opening height. 17 mm., 

 width, 5 mm.; posterior canal width, 2 mm., depth. 3 mm.

TUERIS FERNANDOENSIS, n. sp. 

 Plate 23, figure 7 



Shell small, fusiform ; spire high, equal in height to the mouth 

 opening; whorls five, roundly angulated, suture following lines of 

 angidation of preceding whorl ; prominent, wide, triangular notch or 

 canal on upper slope of body whorl, lower part of body whorl and 

 canal ornamented by faint spiral lines which may have been eroded 

 from rest of shell; mouth opening narrow; columella simple; canal 

 medium length, straight. 



This species is similar in shape and size to Astyris richihofeni, but 

 is longer anteriorly and is distinguishable by the presence of an an- 

 terior notch. 



Altitude, 21 mm.; width, 9 mm.; mouth opening height, 11.5 mm., 

 width, 3.5 mm.
