The specimens from Springvale are remarkable for size, ex- 
ceeding eight inches in length. The diameter varies from 3/4 to 
5 inches. Like all shells of the Genus the characters vary with 
age and growth. The apical Whorls are tuberculated or poh'- 
gonal and caucellate like F. textilis which is probablj' a form of 
this : the later ventricose whorls are smooth only showing light 
spiral striation. The mo.st slender example simulates Achatina 
reticulata (an African landshell) in figure. The three columellar 
jfiaits are very strong. See for further remarks on this species 
my paper on the Haitian Fossils, Journ. Geol. Soc., 1876, 
page 523.

There is only one example of this species, and it was entire- 
ly invested externall}' with an organism like Membranipora, 
which on examination proves to be more like Stromatopora. On 
the spire, the covering forms a thin layer only, but on the last 
whorl near the Aperture the incrusting organism forms a Boss of 
several concentric laj’ers. It resembles Carpentaria but there 
are no large Apertures. The likeness to Orbitoides (see Carpen- 
ter, Journ. Geol. Soc., 1850, PL vii) should not be overlooked.

Allied to the Pacific form F. reticulata. 
Casts only, but retaining sufficient of the shell substance to 
make the determination certain.
