India, 1897, ser. 16, vol. 1, part 3, pi. xi., figs. 5-7, p. 42). It is 
alike interesting to note that in the Upper Cretaceous rocks of 
Brazil (province Sergipe), Dr. C. A. White has identified this 
species. According to Kossmat, on the evidence of the Cephalopoda, 
found in the same beds, the age of the Brazilian deposits may be 
regarded as Cenomanian. 
It may be mentioned that Stoliczka has not acknowledged this 
shell as a member of the Southern Indian Cretaceous ; he rather 
considers it capable of inclusion under qitinquecostata, but as he 
states that there occur some large specimens from the Utatur beds 
of Odium, &c., showing three smaller ribs between the two larger 
ones, we may conclude that they represent this species.
