PLATES XCin, FIG. 6; XCV, FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. 
Shell subglobose, attenuate at the apex. Point of greatest transverse section 
on the chamber of habitation, posterior to the middle. Tube expanding 
gradually at the apex, with the sides concave, becoming convex and rapidly 
inflating over the chamber of habitation. 
Chamber of habitation large, ventricose, with the sides convex, and sloping 
rapidly to the aperture. 
Air-chambers regular, increasing in depth from the apex, varying from two 
to three mm. in the length of thirty mm. Sutures straight and horizontal. 
Surface marked by fine strise of growth. 
Internal mould smooth, with the sutures slightly impressed. 
A much compressed specimen, consisting of the chamber of habitation and 
about sixteen attached air-chambers, has a length of seventy mm., of which 
twenty-five mm. pertain to the grand chamber. The greatest transverse 
diameter, in its compressed condition, is forty-five mm. 
This species is distinguished from G. oviforme in the position of the plane 
of greatest transverse section, the absence of marked crenulations, and the 
inflated appearance of the greater portion of the tube, with its attenuate apex. 
Formation and localities. In the shales of the Chemung group, near Ithaca, and 
in the calcareous beds of the upper members of the group, at New Albion, Cat¬ 
taraugus county, N. Y.
