is closed by the columella a little within the base. In the Galt specimen, fig. 1 a, b , the shell 
is preserved on the lower half of the last volution only.

Pl. LXXXIV. Fig. 2 a, b. 
Volutions about four or five, rapidly increasing from the apex, subangular, and marked above 
and on one side by thin sharp carinae or spiral elevated lines. 
This species is extremely rare, a single mould of the exterior only having been found.

Pl. LXXXIV. Fig. 3. 
Cast composed of two or three volutions, which expand rapidly from the apex; the marks 
of a strong double carina are preserved on the last volution ; aperture much expanded. 
Position and locality. In the limestone at Galt, Canada West. 
718. 24. PLEUROTOMARIA SOLARIOIDES (n. sp.). 
Pl. LXXXIV. Fig. 4 a, b. 
Spire depressed, composed of about five volutions which are externally rounded; lateral 
diameter of volutions greater than the vertical; base discoid, flattened ; umbilicus broad, 
reaching to the apex. 
This species is about the size of P. lenticularis of the lower silurian rocks, but it is readily 
distinguished by its rounded volutions.
