ORTMANN : TERTIARY INVERTEBRATES. 175 
Height, 12 mm; diameter, 3 mm (v. Ihering gives: height, 5; diam- 
eter, 1.5; Cossmann : height, 7; diameter, 1.5 mm). 
Remarks: V. Ihering’s figure is given as half natural size, but it is — 
according to the measurements given — about 8 times enlarged. 
Cossmann’s description differs from v. Ihering’s only in that he men- 
tions an indistinct fold on the columella, which may have been overlooked 
by v. Ihering. (Cossmann calls it “hardly visible.”) This fold exists in 
our individual, but, indeed, it is hardly noticeable. It is situated well up- 
ward on the columella. Cossmann says it is situated in the lower part, 
but it is to be remarked that he turns all his shells upside down ; in his 
figure something like a columellar fold is visible, situated exactly as in 
our individual, but the figure is too poor to make sure whether this is 
really this fold. 
The spiral striae are hardly visible in our specimen. 
Record of specimens : Mt. of Observation, upper horizon, 1 sp. 
Distribution: Suprapatagonian beds of La Cueva (v. Ih.) and Jegua 
quemada (Cossm.). 
Ajftnities : According to Cossmann, this species differs from those of 
the Eocene of Paris in being much more conical, that is to say, apparently, 
being less slender. I can, however, hardly support this view, since many 
.of the Eocene species do not differ at all in form from the Patagonian 
species (see Deshayes, 1864, pi. 20 and 21). It is hard to say to which 
one of the numerous Tertiary Turbonillce the present species bears the 
closest resemblance.
