Of Kutorgina the following species have been' described by American au¬ 
thors : K. cingulata, Billings (loc. cit .); K. sculptilis, Meek ( Iphidea ? ? sculptilis,

In 1868, Davidson identified the species Obolella Phillipsi , Holl, from the 
Lingula Flags and Lower Tremadoc, as K. cingulata, Billings, and in 1876, Lin-

cingulata var. pusilla. 
All the representatives of this genus known are from primordial faunas.
