Notes on the Shells with Descriptions of the 

 new Species. 



Natica cuspidata (new Species). PL 2. Fig. 4. 



Shell moderately thick, smooth with lines of growth some- 

 what sinuate near the Suture-globose-depressed-ovate. Spire 

 pointed — Whorls five or six. Callus large stout conical, im- 

 pressed with a transverse sulcus — Umbilicus a narrow deep chink. 

 Largest diameter 70 mm. Height 60 mm. Like N. didyma Bol- 

 ton, with a similar but more developed Callus. The shell is more 

 sigaretiform. 



Natica canrena Linn. The Miocene fossil is called N. 

 plicatela by Conrad. See Dall, Flor. Foss. Part 1 Page 364. The 

 eastern Analogue is N. alapapilionis Chemn. 



Cadulus efluens (new Species). 



Shell obliquel) 7 spiral. Whorls rapidly increasing, fluted 

 with longitudinal grooves separated by scarcely-defined rounded

keels or ridges. Spire small uncinate. Aperture large. Length 

 20 mm. Height 15 mm. 



The specimens are imperfect and not separable from the 

 matrix, but they seem to deserve a name. The shell is similar 

 in shape to C. mitrula, but it is distinguished by its larger longi- 

 tudinal flutings. It recalls our old friend C. ventustus. 



Turitela tornata, Guppy —Journal Geological Society 

 1866, Page 580 PL xxvi, Fig. 12. 



T. altirata Gab. and gatunensis Gab. appear to be synonyms. 



This widely distributed and variable species has been re- 

 described as F. gabii by Toula (Gatun Fossils, Tafel xxv (1) 

 F. 5).
