the strise gradually become sharp ridges, and the intervening belts deep fur¬ 
rows—these characters being especially strong at the anterior end ; whole 
surface marked by faint incremental lines. Greatest convexity of shell con¬ 
siderably below the middle. 
Length 1-30 (100); height *55 (42); convexity of left valve *24(18; 
whole number of furrows on exterior 14.

Differs from C. complanata in its greater relative transverse dimension and 
its vertical enrolment. It may yet prove to be a Grammysia. 
Edmondia, de Koninck. 
Edmondia binumbonata, n. sp.—Shell of moderate size, rotund-quadrate, 
very tumid. Hinge line short, posterior to the beaks ; posterior margin form¬ 
ing with it a very obtuse angle ; anterior slope straight, forming a rounded 
right angle with the slightly curved ventral border which is nearly parallel 
with the hinge line, and joins the posterior slope by a regular curve. Beaks 
depressed and incurved ; greatest thickness through the middle of the shell; 
principal umbonal slope running to the posterior extremity of the ventral 
border ; a subsidiary one running to the anterior extremity ; between these the 
surface is subcylindrical; anterior to them it descends abruptly to the ante¬ 
rior margin, while behind them it sinks at first rather abruptly, and near the 
posterior border presents a little flattening. Surface (of cast) marked by eight 
or ten concentric furrows. Anterior lunule excavated. 
Distance measured along the principal umbonal slope *85 (100) ; length 
from anterior to posterior extremity *85 (100) ; anterior slope *59 (69) ; con¬ 
vexity of right valve *24 (28) ; angle between anterior cardinal slope and prin¬ 
cipal umbonal line 70°. 
Locality. —Marshall. 
Closely related to E. scalaris, McCoy (Brit. Pal. Foss. 502, pi. 3 H, fig. 6), 
from the carboniferous limestone of Lowick, but the anterior extremity is pro¬ 
duced into a rounded angle instead of being truncated. 
Orthonota, (Conrad), McCoy. 
Orthonota kectidoksalis, n. sp.—Shell of moderate size, tumid, elongate 
transversely with subterminal beaks and gaping extremities. Hinge margin 
straight, reaching nearly to the posterior extremity of the shell, somewhat 
elevated ; ventral margin straight, and parallel with the dorsal; posterior ex¬ 
tremity truncately rounded, making with the dorsal margin an anterior angle 
of 105° ; anterior end slightly gaping two-thirds the width of the shell, 
rounded abruptly above, gradually below ; beak scarcely elevated above the 
dorsal line, flattened, incurved, with a conspicuous lunule in front; umbonal 
swelling running to the lower posterior angle. Hinge apparently edentulous 
and simple ; pallial and muscular impressions undiscernible ; a deep groove 
runs from beneath the beak to the anterior extremity, which interrupts the 
concentric lines shown on the interior of the shell. The cast shows five or 
six very faint lines diverging from the beak along the superumbonal slope. 
Length 1*48 (100) ; height *44 (30) ; convexity of right valve *10 (7) ; 
length of anterior end *25 (17). 
Locality. —Moscow, Hillsdale county. 
This shell agrees tolerably well with Orthonota , as modified by McCoy. The 
gaping extremities and general outline perhaps indicate affinities with Solen. 
Sanguinolites, McCoy. 
Sanguinolites unioniformis, n. sp.—Shell small, compressed, transversely 
ellipsoidal, with subterminal beaks. Hinge line straight, a little shorter than 
the shell at both extremities ; hinge consisting only of a long, sharp, lami¬ 
nar lateral tooth behind the beak. Anal margin obliquely subtruncate, as
