Shell turreted. Volutions rounded, six in the length of one inch and a quarter 
from the base; greatest convexity about the middle of each; upper 
ones unknown. Suture deep, giving a constricted aspect at the junction 
of the volutions. 
Surface marked with distinct, angular striae, bending gently backward from 
the suture to the periphery, and with a longer forward curve to the base 
of each volution; those of the last volution bending more abruptly back¬ 
ward, and making a second abrupt retral curve to the columellar lip. 
This species, in the rotundity of the volutions, and the constriction at the 
suture, contrasts with all the other species here described. 
Formation and localities. In the hydraulic beds of the age of the Upper Hel- 
derberg group, at Louisville, Ky. Communicated by Dr. James Knapp.

A fragment, preserving about six volutions, has a length of a little more 
than three-fourths of an inch. The volutions are close, very gradually ascend¬ 
ing, and slightly convex on the exterior. The surface is unknown. 
The specimen figured, in its form, rate of increase from the apex, and slightly 
convex surface of the volutions, presents characters which distinguish it from 
any one in this geological horizon. 
Formation and locality. In the Crinoidal limestone of the Hamilton group 
at Eigliteen-mile creek, in Erie county, N. Y.
