EUOMPHALUS Colei. 
TAB. DCXXI — fig. 1, 
Spec. Char. Volutions few, rapidly increasing in 
size,, four-sided, their two outer sides largest ; 
margin rather acute. 
A large shell, concave both above and below ; the 
aperture is trapezoidal. As I have only seen a cast of 
the interior, I know not the characters of the outer sur- 
face ; the substance appears to have been rather thick. 
Found in black Limestone in Johnstone Quarry, be- 
tween Finglass-bridge and Glassnevin, near Dublin, by 
Mr. J. Humphrey. 
I have applied the family name of the Earl of Ennis- 
killen to this noble fossil ; not because T think by so 
doing to fix the name of Cole more firmly in the minds 
of geologists, where his lordship’s zeal and ability have 
already obtained for it a most honourable standing, but 
because I think so rare a shell is worthy of his pa- 
tronage.
