II AI.DRICH, Eocene Mollusc a ii 



Epitonium multiliniferum, n. sp. PI. i. Fig. i6. 



All the specimens are fragmentary, but well marked. Em- 

 bryonic whorls missing ; suture distinct. Ribs on body w^horl 

 34 in number, extending over the base, much weaker there ; 

 very numerous close set spiral lines between the ribs. Aperture 

 round, inner lip thickened, no umbilicus. 



Locality. — Cave Branch, Ala. Woods Bluff beds. 



Type. — My cabinet. 



Remarks. — This is a distinct species and it deserves difleren- 

 tiation from the other forms. The figure given b}^ Prof. Harris 

 in Bull. Am. Paleontology, No. ii, PI. 12, Fig. 8, is probably a 

 young example of this species. The sides are more nearly par- 

 allel than in most Epitoniiuns. 



Epitonium subacutum, n. sp. PL i. Figs. 17, 18. 



Shell thin, narrowly acute, whorls 12. The first five are em- 

 bryonic and smooth ; the balance spirally striated ; cancellated. 

 The vertical ribs on the bod}^ whorl about twenty-six in number, 

 curving into the umbilicus. They are thin or acute ; the pri- 

 mary spirals about ten in number with finer alternate lines be- 

 tween ; inner lip with a slight callus. Length 10 mm. 



Locality. — Cave Branch, Ala. Woods Bluff beds. 



Type. — In Ala, Museum. One specimen shows the base and 

 the other the embryonic shell. 



Teinostoma subangulata Mr. var. Smithii, n. var. PL i. Figs. 19, 20. 



Shell small, flattened above, rounded below ; umbilicus not 

 large ; a callus on the base which enters the umbilicus and con- 

 tinues within. Bordering the suture is an appressed area raised 

 above the whorls ; surface above with numerous close set revolv- 

 ing lines ; periphery smooth with a few revolving lines below. 

 Aperture circular ; outer lip somewhat thickened ; lines of 

 growth perceptible ; interior somewhat pearly. Diameter 8 mm. 



Locality. — Bell's Landing, Ala. 



Type. — Ala. Museum of Natural History. 



Remarks. — Very much larger than the type of T. suba?igu- 

 lata Mr. Looks very much like a land shell. It differs some- 

 what from Meyer's species in the shape of the aperture.
