Cyrtoceras Hector, n. sp. 
PLATE XC, FIGS. 11-15. 
Shell apparently nearly straight, regularly enlarging to the aperture. Trans¬ 
verse section broadly oval. Apical angle about 14°. 
Chamber of habitation small, having a length equal to the dorso-ventral 
diameter of the tube at the base. Sides expanding regularly with the gen¬ 
eral contour of the tube, and contracting slightly at the aperture. 
Air-chambers regular, having a depth of about five mm. One specimen 
shows several very shallow air-chambers near the grand chamber. 
Septa smooth and thin, moderately concave. Sutures considerably curved 
and oblique. 
Surface marked by fine strife of growth, with a few coarser, lamellose lines 
at the margin of the aperture. 
One fragment, showing the extent of the grand chamber, and embracing 
seven air-chambers, has a length of forty-three mm., of which twenty-five 
mm. pertain to the outer chamber. Another fragment shows eight air-cham¬ 
bers in the length of thirty-three mm. 
This species is distinguished from C. densum of the Hamilton group by its 
smaller size and curving septal sutures. 
Formation and localities. In the sandstones of the Upper Chemung, south of 
Olean, N. Y., and in the same horizon at Warren, Pa.
