ADVERTISEMENT. 


The scientific publications of the National Museum consist of two 
series—the Bulletin and the Proceedings. 

The Bulletin, publication of which was begun in 1875, is a series 
of more or less extensive works intended to illustrate the collections 
of the United States National Museum and, with the exception noted 
below, is issued separately. These bulletins are monographic in scope 
and are devoted principally to the discussion of large zoological and 
botanical groups, faunas and floras, bibliographies of eminent natural- 
ists, reports of expeditions, etc. They are usually of octavo size, 
although a quarto form, known as the Special Bulletin, has been 
adopted in a few instances in which a larger page was deemed 
indispensable. 

This work forms No. 68 of the Bulletin series. 

Since 1902 the volumes of the series known as ‘* Contributions from 
the National Herbarium,” and containing papers relating to the botan- 
ical collections of the Museum, have been published as bulletins. 

The Proceedings, the first volume of which was issued in 1878, are 
intended as a medium of publication of brief original papers based 
on the collections of the National Museum, and setting forth newly 
acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology derived there- 
from, or containing descriptions of new forms and revisions of lim- 
ited groups. A volume is issued annually, or oftener, for distribution 
to libraries and scientific establishments, and in view of the importance 
of the more prompt dissemination of new facts a limited edition of 
each paper is printed in pamphlet form in advance.

A MONOGRAPH OF WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID 
MOLLUSKS. 


By Witu1am Heavery Dati and Pavut Bartscu, 
Of the Division of Mollusks, U. S. National. Museum. 


INTRODUCTION. 


The Pyramidellide are a family of mollusks mostly of small size 
and world-wide distribution. No record of unmistakable Pyrami- 
dellide has been found in the Cretaceous faunas, though such may 
occur, but they are numerous in the Tertiaries and perhaps most 
fully represented in the existing faunas. 

Numerous names have been applied to them; sometimes a particu- 
lar group has been supposed to have no plication on the pillar,a mis- 
take which can be corrected by grinding down the whorls so as to 
expose the interior more fully than may be done by inspecting the 
natural aperture. The plication in such cases is present, but falls 
short.of reaching a point where it can be observed through the 
aperture. 

In all the species of which the soft parts are known the external 
anatomy is very similar. In examining a large number of species, as 
noted by Fischer, intermediate types occur, until it becomes a matter 
of great difficulty to decide where, if anywhere, the generic lines can 
be drawn. It is not surprising that some authors have resorted to 
the expedient of regarding most of the species, notwithstanding the 
contrasted extremes of the series, as belonging to a single genus. 
When a group is composed of such a multitude of species, it seems 
more convenient in practice and leads more efficiently to clear 
thinking to take the other view, and subdivide the groups sufficiently 
to make it reasonably clear where a given species belongs in the 
series. : 

In the absence of anatomical characters it has been necessary to 
fall back in large part on the form and sculpture of the shell the 
presence or absence of an umbilicus, and the character of the plica- 
tions on the pillar, as distinctive characters, although it must be 
admitted that between the different sections some intermediate forms 
may occur. So many names have been applied to members of the 

1

group that in most cases it has not been necessary to coin new 
denominations. The synonymy, which is often much involved, is 
treated of in the text which follows. 

The classification adopted is essentially that proposed by us in our 
synopsis of the family published in February, 1904. Some revision 
and some additions as was expected have been found necessary. 

Many of the specific names given in the past by different authors 
have been repeatedly used for different species, rendering it neces- 
sary in many cases to give new ones. In all cases the synonymy of 
group names adopted has been based on researches which began 
with the typical species of the original authors, which in the case of 
some of the more anciently named forms has involved no little 
labor. 

When any doubt existed in regard to the internal characters the 
specimens have been ground down until the pillar has been made 
visible over a great part of its extent, and in all cases the characters 
recorded are the result of microscopical examination. Only a few 
of the many named forms have been inaccessible, as the collection of 
the U. S. National Museum is remarkably rich in species of this 
group, while the junior author, during a recent visit to England, has 
been able to examine the original types of Carpenter and Adams in 
the British Museum, and later visited Amherst, Massachusetts, to 
confirm earlier notes on the types contained in the C. B. Adams 
collection, the property of Amherst College. The Zoological Museum 
of Berlin, Germany, submitted its entire collection for study, and the 
authorities of the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen, of the Academy 
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and of Amherst College, of the 
University of California, of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, of the 
Field Museum of Chicago, of the American Museum of Natural His- 
tory, New York City, granted facilities for study, for photographing 
type-specimens or at various times loaned material required for 
study. The facilities of the National Museum have, of course, been 
at the disposition of the writers, and most of the types of species form 
part of its collection. 

The amount of assistance rendered by private i eed nbanionie and 
collectors has been very large. Many of the friends of the Museum 
have sent in all their Pyramidellid material, and have allowed it to 
remain for study, in some cases several years. Others have gener- 
ously resigned the opportunity of working up themselves the material 
they had collected and have donated to the Museum type-specimens 
of rare and even unique forms. For this generous assistance we are 
deeply indebted. Among those to whom we desire to make the most 
cordial acknowledgment are Mr. and Mrs. T.S. Oldroyd, Mr. Herbert 
N. Lowe, and Mrs. Eshnaur, of Long Beach, California; Dr. Fred 
Baker, Prof. F. W. Kelsey, Mrs. Kate Stephens, Mr. Henry Hemphill,

S. S. Berry and Mr. J. H. Paine, of Stanford University; Rev. Dr. 
G. W. Taylor, of Nanaimo, British Columbia; Hon. Delos Arnold and 
Dr. Ralph Arnold, of Pasadena, California; and Dr. R. E. C. Stearns, 
of Los Angeles, California; Mr. E. A. Smith, of the British Museum, 
and Dr. G. W. Chaster, of Southport, England. Among those who 
have contributed material bearing on the general subject though not 
on the West American fauna in particular, we are especially indebted 
to Rev. H. W. Winkley, of Danvers, Massachusetts. Material in 
the collection of the U. S. National Museum, contributed without 
special reference to this monograph, was received from Mr. Belding, 
Mr.S. A. L. Brannan, Mr. Blood, Mr. J.G. Cooper, Mr. P. P. Carpenter, 
Dr. W. H. Dall, Mr. G. H. Eldridge, Mr. W. J. Fisher, Mr. Hansen,

Kineaid, Mr. C. B. Kennerley, Mr. A. Krause, Mrs. Merrihew, Dr.C. F. 
Newcombe, Capt. H. Nichols, U.S. Navy, Mr. C. R. Orcutt, Dr. E. 
Palmer, Mr. E.S. Roper, Mr. J. G. Swan, Mr. J. O. Snyder, Mr. Turrill, 
Mr. F. Woodworth, and Mr. J. Xantus. We have had the advantage 
of consulting specimens from the Eocene of the Paris Basin, named by 
M. Maurice Cossmann, of Paris. Lastly, the Jeffreys collection with 
its multitude of specimens, author’s examples, types, and cotypes, 
of British, abyssal Atlantic, north European, and Mediterranean 
species, has been a means of reference without which we should have 
been in numerous instances most seriously handicapped. 

The senior author desires to say that with the exception of this 
introduction and a certain amount of editorial supervision and 
advisory assistance, the labor of microscopically studying the speci- 
mens and preparing the manuscript of this paper is the work of the 
junior author, to whom the credit should be given. This labor has 
been very great and has been performed in the intervals of other work 
officially more pressing. We hope, therefore, that friends who have 
from time to time intrusted us with material which has often been 
retained for a considerable time before being returned to its owners, 
will make allowances for what has in no case been intentional delay 
or neglect. 

We may here repeat an explanation printed in 1904, that the 
Museum Calonnianum is an anonymous pamphlet with no pub- 
lisher’s name attached to it, no diagnosis or figures, and which was not 
prepared by George Humphrey, the dealer who distributed it. We 
have therefore declined to regard the name Obeliscus, which is con- 
tained in it, as having been regularly published, or as having preced- 
ence over Pyramidella Lamarck. 

A brief historical review of the progress of the study of the Pyra- 
midellidz on the western shores of the two Americas may be in 
place here. 


4 BULLETIN 68, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 


While it is probable that Hugh Cuming, in the first third of the 
nineteenth century, during his researches on the coast of western 
South America, may have collected some Pyramidellide, the system- 
atists who described his novelties after his return to England were 
long busy with the larger, more attractive, and more conspicuous 
shells. 

The first Pyramidellid described was named by Alcide D’Orbigny 
in 1840, in the report of his voyage to South America, the Chemnitzia 
cora from Peru. 

The next contribution was that of Prof. C. B. Adams, of Amherst 
College, in his account of the shells of Panama, published in 1852, in 
the Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History of New York. It 
included the following species: Pyramidella conica; Chemmitzia acu- 
leus, acuminata, affinis, clathratula, communis, gracilior, major, mar- 
ginata, panamensis, similis, striosa, turrita; Cingula «inconspicua, 
paupercula, terebellum, and turrita. 

In the same year Dr. A. A. Gould described, in the Boston Journal 
of Natural History, from Mexico and the Gulf of California, the fol- 
lowing species: Odostomia gravida and achates; Chemnitzia torquata. 

In 1854, Karl Theodor Menke, in the Malakozodélogische Blatter, 
described Pyramidella bicolor, fromCalifornia. In the same year Arthur 
Adams, editing the Pyramidellidze of Sowerby’s Thesaurus Conchy- 
liorum, named Obeliscus hastatus and clavulus. 

The most numerous addition to the known species of the coast yet 
made appeared in 1856 in the Mazatlan Catalogue of the Reigen col- 
lection in the British Museum, by Dr. Philip P. Carpenter. This 
comprised the following forty species: Odostomia sublirulata, lamel- 
lata, subsulcata, vallata, mammillata, tenuis; Parthenia scalariformis, 
quinquecincta, lacunata, armata, exarata, ziziphina; Chrysallida ovata, 
nodosa, rotundata, oblonga, telescopium, reigeni, effusa, fasciata, ovulum, 
convexa, photis, indentata, clausiliformis; Chemnitzia c—b—adamsi, muri- 
cata, prolongata gibbosa, gracillima, undata, flavescens, terebralis, tenui- 
lirata, unifasciata; Dunkeria paucilirata, subangulata, cancellata, inter- 
media; and Eulimella obsoleta. Camera drawings of these by Doctor 
Carpenter are among the archives of the U.S. National Museum. 

Morch, in the Malakozoélogische Blatter for 1859, describes Turbo- 
nilla craticulata, subula, and cinctella. Baird in the Proceedings of the 
Zoological Society of London, 1863, names Chemnitzia vancouverensis. 

In the report of the British Association for the Advancement of 
Science for 1863, Dr. P. P. Carpenter names the following species: 
Pyramidella adamsi; Obeliscus variegatus; Odostomia nuciformis, and 
variety avellana, O. satura and variety gouldii, O. inflata, straminea, 
tenuisculpta, cincta, and pumila; Dunkeria laminata; Chemnitzia tri- 
dentata, chocolata varieties aurantia, subcuspidata, and stylina, C. 
virgo; all these have a few words of diagnosis, but not enough to 


WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 5 


identify them. They were more fully described later. The same 
author in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History for 1864, 
pages 46-47, describes Obeliscus variegatus, Odostomia (Evalea) xqui- 
sculpta and delicatula, and Chrysallida angusta. In the same publi- 
cation for 1865 he describes Odostomia satura, gouldii, nuciformis, 
avellana, tenwsculpta, and inflata; Chemnitzia crebrifilata, variety sty- 
lina, and virgo; Dunkeria laminata; and Chemnitzia celata. 

In the Journal de Conchyliologie for April, 1865, Doctor Carpenter 
names Odostomia straminea, Chemnitzia tridentata, and (var.?) auran- 
tia. The last contribution to the knowledge of this group made by 
Doctor Carpenter was during the following year, when in the Pro- 
ceedings of the California Academy of Sciences, page 219, he describes 
Chrysallida pumila. 

William M. Gabb, in the same publication (p. 186) a year earlier 
had added Turbonilla gracillima (now T. gabbiana) to the California 
fauna. 

In a separate publication on the minute shells found on imported 
pearl oysters, and entitled ‘‘Les Méléagrinicoles,”’ in 1867 the Mar- 
quis de Folin describes from the Pacific coast (?) Turbonilla festiva and 
Chemmnitzia rangi. 

In 1870, in the American Journal of Conchology, page 66, Dr. J. G. 
Cooper changes the preoccupied name Turbonilla gracillima Gabb 
into T. gabbiana Cooper. 

In the series entitled ‘‘Les Fonds de la Mer,” vol. 2, 1872, the Mar- 
quis de Folin describes the following species: Salassia carinata; 
Noémia proxima, pulchra, angusta, with varieties contracta and ovata; 
Odetta recta and elegans. 

Among some Vancouver shells described in the Annals and Maga- 
zine of Natural History for 1880, by Mr. E. A. Smith, we find Chem- 
nitzia lord. 

In the report on the Gastropoda of the Blake expedition, 1889, 
Dall describes Pyramidella auricoma; and in the Bulletin of the 
Natural History Society of British Columbia, 1897, page 14, he 
names Mumiola tenuis, subsequently found to be preoccupied, and 
renamed Odostomia ( Menestho) pharcida Dall and Bartsch. 

In Zoé (vol. 4, 1894, p. 395), Hemphill named a shell Fulimella 
occidentalis, but this has proved not to be a Pyramidellid. 

In a monograph in the new edition of the Conchylien Cabinet of 
Martini and Chemnitz, Clessin named Odostomia krause. and pana- 
mensis, in 1900. 

In a memoir by Dr. Ralph Arnold on the Marine Pliocene and 
Pleistocene of San Pedro, California, the portion relating to the 
Pyramidellide was prepared by the authors of the present paper, 
March, 1903. Twenty-three species are treated of, the types of 
which are in the National Museum, and of these the following are

regarded as new: Turbonilla pentalopha, auricoma, latifundia, lowe 
and variety pedroana, arnoldi, and adleri; Odostomia stearnsii, die- 
gensis, and grammatospira. 

In 1904, the present authors prepared and published in the Pro- 
ceedings of the Biological Society of Washington a Synopsis of the 
Genera, Subgenera, and Sections of the Family Pyramidellide. This 
hardly admits of condensation, but contains numerous new divi- 
sional names and the descriptions of the following new species serving 
as types of groups named in the table: Pyramidella (Sulcorinella) 
dodona, Turbonilla (Baldra) archeri, Odostomia (Vilia) pilsbryi, and 
Odostomia (Evalina) americana, of which, however, only the last- 
mentioned is a native of the Pacific coast. 

In 1906, through the kind intervention of the late Prof. Eduard 
von Martens, in charge of the conchological collection of the Berlin 
Zoological Museum, we received for study their entire series of Pyra- 
midellide, including numerous author’s types derived from many 
sources, of which the most important were from the collections of 
the late Henry and Arthur Adams, of Paetel, of Dunker, of Clessin 
and of Hilgendorf. Numerous species inadequately described by 
Arthur Adams were included, and were for the first time figured and 
placed on a valid basis in the report on this collection.¢ Among the 
species discussed or described from the west coast of America in this 
report were the following: Odostomia (Evalea) sitkaénsis Clessin, O. 
(Amaura) martensin. n., O. (A.) krausei Clessin, O. (Heida) panamensis 
Clessin; Pyramidella (Longchexus) bicolor Menke, P. (Pharcidella) 
hastata A. Adams, and P. (P.) moffati, n. n. 

In 1907,° the present writers discussed the Pyramidellid mollusks 
of the Oregonian faunal area. In that paper the following new 
species, or names, appear for the first time: Turbonilla gilli (and 
subspecies delmontensis); T. (Chemnitzia) montereyensis n. n. (= gab- 
biana J. G. Cooper), T. (C.) muricatoides; T. (Strioturbonilla) serre; 
T. (Pyrgolampros) taylori, T. (P.) berryi, T. (P.) lyalli, T. (P.) vie- 
toriana, T. (P.) valdezi, T. (P.) newcombei, T. (P.) oregonensis; T. 
(Pyrgiscus) canfieldi, T. (P.) mérchi, T. (P.) antestriata, T. (P.) 
eucosmobasis, T. (P.) castanea (= castanella, Dall, later); T. ( Mor- 
mula) eschscholtzi; Odostomia (Chrysallida) cooperi, O. (C.) astricta, 
O. (C.) montereyensis, O. (C.) oregonensis, O. (Ividia) navisa (and sub- 
species delmontensis); O. (lolea) amianta; O. (Menestho) pharcida 
n. n., O. (M.) harfordensis, O. (M.) exara; O. (Hvalea) tillamookensis, 
O.(E.) angularis, O. (E.) jewetti, O. (E.) columbiana, O. (E.) deliciosa, 
O. (E.) tacomaénsis, O. (F.) valdezi, O. (F.) phanea; O. (Amaura) 
kennerleyr, and O. (A.) montereyensis (preoccupied, later O. canfieldi 


Dall).

WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 7 


Two of the species above mentioned having been inadvertently 
given names which had already been used, W. H. Dall in the Nautilus 
for March, 1908, proposed the new names Turbonilla (Pyrgiscus) 
castanella and Odostomia (Amaura) canfieldi, for T. castanea and O. 
montereyensis. 

In 1908,¢ Dall describes Odostomia (Evalea) atossa from San Pedro, 
California. 

It would have extended this review to inordinate length had we 
attempted to refer to the instances where west American species are 
merely alluded to in the literature. 

The drawings with which the present paper is illustrated were 
mostly made by Miss Evelyn G. Mitchell; some of them were the 
work of our regretted collaborator, the late Dr. J. G. McConnell. 

The temperatures of seawater cited in the text are in degrees of 
the Fahrenheit scale. 

CLASSIFICATION. 


Family PYRAMIDELLID%.’ 


Gastropods with the radula absent or obsolete ; the operculum ovoid 
paucispiral, with the apex anterior, a thread-like arcuate ridge on the 
proximal side, the inner margin notched in harmony with the plaits 
of the pillar when prominent; foot short, moderately pointed behind, 
with a small operculigerous lobe above and sometimes a small tentac- 
ular appendix on each side, in front feebly auriculate or undulate ; 
mantle feebly canaliferous on the right upper margin; a single 
branchia; verge subcylindric, elongate; head with two flattened 
subtriangular or elongate tentacles, connate, grooved or auriform 
in the larger forms, the funicles with a ciliated area; eyes behind or 
between the bases of the tentacles; below the tentacles an oral orifice 
from which extends a long retractile subcylindric proboscis, but 
there is no muzzle like that of Scala; below the oral orifice is an 
organ named by Lovén the mentwm, which is usually more or less 
medially grooved or fissured, and hence, at its anterior end, more 
or less bilobate, and extensile or retractile before or behind the 
front margin of the foot. The shell is turrited, with a plicate axis; 





@Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 34. 
bIn the preparation of the present diagnoses the following terminology is used: 
“Axial sculpture,’ the markings which extend from the summit of the whorls 
toward the umbilicus. 
The axial sculpture may be— 
‘‘Vertical,’’ when the markings are in general parallelism with the axis of 
the shell. 
‘‘Protractive,’’ when the markings slant forward from the preceding suture. 
‘‘Retractive,’? when the markings slant backward from the suture. 
‘Spiral sculpture,’ the markings following the directions of the coils of the 
whorls,

the outer lip frequently internally lirate; in the larger forms the 
aperture is obscurely channeled in front; the larval shell is sinistral 
the adult dextral, the former frequently set at an angle to the adult 
axis, or more or less immersed in the adult apical whorls; it is usually 
helicoid and smooth; the sculpture varies from nothing to ribbed, 
spirally sulcate or reticulate; the coloration when present usually 
reddish, brownish or yellow. The eggs are numerous and depos- 
ited in a lenticular mass. The distribution is world-wide, but the 
larger forms are mostly tropical.

Shell elongate-conic, increasing regularly in size with three folds on 
the columella in the subgenera Pyramidella, Milda, Longchzus, 
Voluspa, Pharcidella, Callolongcheus, Otopleura, and Triptychus; of 
these the first two are umbilicated, the rest imperforate. The fol- 
lowing subgenera have two columellar folds, umbilicated: Tiberia, 
Ulfa, and Tropxas; imperforate: Vagna, Eulimella, and Cossmanica. 
In the uniplicate members Orinella and Sulcorinella are umbilicated 
and Actseopyramis, Styloptygma, Syrnola, Stylopsis, Iphiana, and 
Syrnolina imperforate. The shell is usually strongly polished and 
porcellanous in luster. 

Type.—Trochus dolabratus Linneus. 

This genus is represented on the west coast by he subgenera Pyra- 
midella, Longchxus, Voluspa, and Pharcidella.

Mag. Nat. Hist., 3d ser., vol. 14, 1864, p. 46. 

The type of this species is a very young individual of five post- 
nuclear whorls which was taken from a species of Chama at Mazatlan, 
Mexico. It is on tablet 1951 of the Liverpool collection in the 
British Museum. 

Shell elongate-conic, early whorls white, later ones diversely 
variegated, frequently dark brown on the later turns. It is this 
striking variegated color pattern which at once distinguishes this 
species from the other west American forms. ‘The spaces between 
the sutures are crossed by light areas, which are vertical in the 
middle, bending suddenly forward at the periphery and the summit, 
thus forming )-shaped areas. The space immediately below the 
peripheral sulcus on the base has short light areas, corresponding to 
those above the sulcus, but with retractive slant. The space between 
these light areas, near the summit, forms a series of elongated dark 
spots. The varices which are disposed at irregular intervals are 
chestnut brown, preceded usually by a band of white. Posterior 
half of the base light chestnut brown; anterior white. Nuclear 
whorls small, two, forming a planorboid spire whose axis is at right 
angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about 
one-half immersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened; moderately 
shouldered at the summit, which is crenulated. Periphery with a

strong sulcus. Base moderately long, well rounded. Entire surface 
of spire and base marked by fine lines of growth and exceedingly 
fine, microscopic spiral striations. Aperture oval; outer lip thin, 
showing the following color marking within; a white zone at the 
periphery, a narrow chestnut band immediately posterior to the 
periphery and another at the summit, a broad band extending over 
half the base immediately below the peripheral zone; deep within, 
the lip is reénforced by five strong, spiral cords, one at the periphery, 
two on the base, and two between the periphery and the summit; 
columella strong, provided with a strong fasciole, posterior fold 
very strong, lamellar, anterior two very oblique, slender. 

The specimen figured (Cat. no. 11866, U.S.N.M.) comes from La 
Paz, Mexico. It has lost the nucleus, the twelve remaining whorls 
measure: Length 11.3 mm., diameter 3.8 mm.

Prof. C. B. Adams’s type, at Amherst College, was collected at 
Panama Bay. It has thirteen post-nuclear whorls, and measures: 
Length 13 mm., diameter 4.3 mm. 

The present species recalls P. (L.) mazatlanica, but differs in 
being in every way much larger and having the sutures decidedly 
more channeled. 


PYRAMIDELLA (LONGCHAUS) MAZATLANICA, new species. 
Plate 1, fig. 7, 7a. 


Shell very regularly conic, horn color, with a little darker band 
on the middle between the sutures, which is bordered at its anterior 
margin by a faint light line. Nuclear whorls two, forming a de- 
pressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the 
succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about two-thirds im- 
mersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened, scarcely at all contracted 
at the suture, with a narrow, very finely crenulated shoulder at the 
summit. Sutures well impressed. Periphery of the last whorl 
strongly, sharply, and deeply sulcate. Base short, well rounded, 
with a strong fasciole at the insertion of the columella. Entire sur- 
face of spire and base marked only by lines of growth. Aperture 
irregularly oval; posterior angle acute, with a moderate channel 
anteriorly ; outer lip thin, reénforced by four strong internal lirations, 
two of which are above and two below the periphery; columella 
slender, twisted and revolute, posterior fold lamellar, anterior two 
slender and very oblique. 

The type (Cat. no. 162714, U.S.N.M.) was dredged at the U. S. 
Bureau of Fisheries station 3019, in 14 fathoms, temperature 66°, 
on broken shell bottom, off Cape Tepoca, west coast of Mexico. 
It has thirteen post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 11 mm., 
diameter 3.5 mm. Another specimen (Cat. no. 46468, U.S.N.M.) 
comes from the Gulf of California. Two tips (Cat. no. 46477, 
U.S.N.M.) come from San Diego. A fragment (Cat. no. 206855,

Shell slender, elongate-conic, horn-yellow, excepting the last whorl 
which is suffused with pale rose-purple. Nuclear whorls small, two 
and one-half, forming a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at 
right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is a 
little more than half immersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened, flatly 
shouldered at the summit, which is crenulated and decidedly chan- 
neled at the periphery, marked on the posterior half by feeble riblets 
which disappear before reaching the middle of the whorl. Sutures 
strongly channeled. Periphery of the last whorl with a deep sulcus,

not apparent in» the suture in the first four whorls, but from the 
fifth on, the summit of the whorl drops more and more anterior to the 
peripheral sulcus until, on the last whorl, it is about one-fifth of the 
distance between the whorls posterior to the suture. Base of the last 
whorl rather prolonged, marked by lines of growth, provided with a 
strong basal fasciole. Aperture ear-shaped; posterior angle acute; 
outer lip thin, marked in the following manner within: A white band 
immediately below the summit, one-fourth of the width of the space 
between the sutures, followed by an interrupted band of dark rust 
brown, succeeded by a broad area, clouded with various shades of 
rust brown which connect the dark colored band with the white colu- 
mellar area; columella moderately strong, provided with three 
oblique folds, the posterior one of which is lamellar; parietal wall 
covered with a thin callus. 

The specimen described belongs to the Paetel collection, Berlin 
Museum. It has nine post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 11.5 
mm., diameter 4 mm. It was labeled Obeliscus achates Gould, cf. 
crocatus A. Adams, Japan. In the aperture of the shell a specimen 
of Anachis diminuta C. B. Adams, was firmly wedged, which species 
is at home on the west coast of Central America and Mexico. The 
Pyramidella therefore very likely belongs to the same region. The 
type of O. clavulus A. Adams, comes from Acapulco, Mexico. 

It is much narrower with much higher whorls, decidedly less chan- 
neled periphery and narrower aperture than P. (Pharcidella) achates 
Gould.

Shell stout, shining, milk-white, with irregular, flammulated spots 
of rust color, which are densest about one-third of the distance 
between the sutures anterior to the summits, where they form an 
almost continuous band. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear 
whorls weakly rounded, slightly shouldered and faintly crenulated at 
the summit, marked by lines of growth, which are somewhat variable 
in strength, the strongest being ‘on the side of the crenulations. 
Sutures well impressed. Periphery marked by a moderately strong, 
spiral sulcus. Base rather long, crossed by many lines of growth. 
Aperture elongate-pyriform, rather compressed laterally; posterior 
angle acute; outer lip thin; columella short, heavy, bounded by a low, 
strong basal fasciole, bearing three oblique folds, the posterior one of 
which is lamellar and situated a little anterior to the insertion of the 
columella; the other two folds are much less strongly developed and 
more oblique; parietal wall covered with a thin callus.

Turbonillas without spiral sculpture, having prominent vertical 
ribs which extend from the summits of the whorls to the umbilical 
region; the same is true of the intercostal spaces. Usually both ribs 
and intercostal spaces are less strongly defined on the base below 
the periphery, than on the exposed portion of the whorls above it.

Shell small, rather stout, inflated, dirty white. Nuclear whorls 
decollated, early post-nuclear whorls well rounded, later ones flat, 
broader at the summit than at the suture; sculpture of about fourteen 
strong, almost vertical, scalariform axial ribs on the second, and six- 
teen quite protractive ones on the succeeding whorls; on the penulti- 
mate turn, however, they are less oblique than on those preceding it. 
These ribs are very strongly developed at the summit of the whorls 
and render the deeply channeled suture decidedly coronated. Inter- 
costal spaces deep, of about double the width of the ribs, interrupted 
suddenly at the decidedly angulated (almost keeled) periphery of the 
last whorl beyond which they reappear. Base strongly contracted, 
quite short, marked by the faint continuations of the axial ribs which

Shell very broadly conic, tabulatedly shouldered, milk-white. 
Nuclear whorls two and one-half, forming a decidedly elevated spire, 
the axis of which is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, 
in the first of which it is slightly immersed. Post-nuclear whorls 
with decidedly tabulated summits, constricted at the sutures, well 
rounded, ornamented by strong, narrow, protractive axial ribs. Of 
these ribs 14 occur upon the first, 16 upon the second and third, 18

Plate 2) fo. 


Shell large, elongate-conic, yellowish-white. (Early whorls eroded.) 
Those of the post-nuclear whorls remaining are very high between 
the sutures, slightly rounded, feebly shouldered at the summit, and 
somewhat contracted at the sutures, marked by low, rounded, some- 
what sinuous, vertical axial ribs, of which there are 24 upon the 
penultimate whorl and 20 upon the second above it. Intercostal 
spaces about one and one-half times as wide as the ribs, shallow, 
scarcely depressed below the general surface. The intercostal spaces 
and ribs between the sutures are marked by rather strong lines of 
growth, which gives them a decidedly crinkly appearance. Sutures 
well impressed. Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, 
marked by the feeble continuations of the axial ribs. Aperture 
large; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external 
markings within; columella slender, decidedly sinuous, not reflected. 

The type (Cat. no. 123025 U.S.N.M.) has the last eight whorls which 
measure: Length 9.4 mm., diameter 2.2mm. _ It was dredged at U.S.

TURBONILLA (TURBONILLA) DIEGENSIS, new species. 
Plate 2, fig. 13, 13a. 


Shell small, subdiaphanous to dingy white. Nuclear whorls two 
and one-half, helicoid, loosely coiled, decidedly elevated, about one- 
fifth immersed, having their axis at a right angle to that of the later 
whorls. Post-nuclear whorls, moderately rounded, somewhat over- 
hanging, the greatest convexity being on the lower third of the 
exposed portion of the whorls, traversed by 14 broad, coarse and 
strong, oblique, and somewhat flexuous axial ribs on the fourth 
and seventh whorl and 18 on the eighth. These ribs extend over 
the angulated periphery to the umbilical region, appearing fainter 
on the base; the deep intercostal grooves terminate at the periphery, 
i. e., do not appear on the base as gouged out spaces, as they do pos- 
terior to the periphery, but simply as plain shallow grooves between 
the ribs formed by the raising of these above the general surface of 
the shell. ‘The whorls slope rapidly toward the suture and are some- 
what contracted and shouldered at the summit, thus marking a 
prominent subchanneled suture. Aperture large, broadly ovate, 
showing the axial ribs within; outer lip thin, subpatulous, shortly 
curved to meet the short, somewhat revolute, slightly twisted, colu- 
mella. 

The type figured has ten post-nuclear whorls, and measures: 
Length 5.3 mm., diameter 1.7 mm. It comes from San Diego, Cali- 
fornia, and forms Cat.no.130316,U.S.N.M. Cat. no. 10916, U.S.N.M.,

TURBONILLA (TURBONILLA) ACRA, new species. 
Plate 2, fig. 14. 


Shell very long and slender, milk-white. (Nuclear whorls decol- 
lated.) Post-nuclear whorls high between the sutures, varying in 
outline, the first to eleventh being flattened, almost cylindric, with 
very strongly shouldered summits, the rest moderately well rounded, 
with less strongly shouldered summits. Axial ribs very strong on 
the first 11 whorls, less so and more rounded on the remaining. 
There are about 14 upon each of the first eleven turns, 22 upon the 
twelfth, 20 upon the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth, and about 
30 much enfeebled and irregular ones upon the last turn, where they 
pass over the well-rounded periphery and base to the umbilical 
region. On the early turns the axial ribs terminate as strong, exserted 
cusps at the summit; on the last turns they are merely rounded. 
Early sutures strongly marked, later ones well impressed. Aperture 
ovate, posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; columella slender, 
almost straight, obliquely inserted. 

The type (Cat. no. 206848 U.S.N.M.) has seventeen whorls, and 
measures: Length 10 mm., diameter 1.8 mm. It was collected off 
Catalina Island, California.

axial ribs, which extend to the umbilical area. Aperture oval; pos- 
terior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external markings 
within; columella moderately strong, curved, reénforced by the 
attenuated base for two-thirds of its length and provided with a weak 
fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 4103, U.S.N.M.) was collected by J. Xantus at 
Cape St. Lucas, Lower California. It has nine post-nuclear whorls, 
which measure: Length 6 mm., diameter 1.5 mm.

Shell broadly conic, yellowish-white. Nuclear whorls very small, 
two and one-half, forming a rather elevated helicoid spire, the axis 
of which is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the 
first of which it is a little more than half immersed. Post-nuclear 
whorls well rounded, slightly shouldered at summit, marked by very 
strong, sublamellar, protractive axial ribs, of which 14 occur upon 
the second and third, 16 upon the fourth to eighth, 18 upon the 
ninth and tenth, 20 upon the eleventh, 24 upon the twelfth, and 25 
upon the penultimate turn. On the early whorls these ribs are very 
strong in the middle, bending suddenly toward the summit, which 
gives them a decidedly angulated appearance a little below their 
termination; on the last three whorls they are more closely crowded 
and less strongly developed. Intercostal spaces about one and one- 
half times as wide as the ribs on the early whorls; on the last three 
they are about equal to them, well impressed, terminating a little 
above the sutures. Sutures wellmarked. Periphery of the last whorl

Mr. Gabb’s description is as follows: 


Shell small, very slender, long, white; vertex broken; whorls eleven or more, flat- 
tened on the sides; sutures strongly impressed, ribs about 23, large, obtuse, running 
from the suture to the margin of the base; base convexly truncated, smooth; aperture 
subcircular; columella thick. Length 10 mm., diameter 3.3 mm. 

Habitat, Monterey, California; Dr. J.G. Cooper, collector. This shell can be readily 
distinguished by its extremely slender form and the strong, slightly oblique ribs. 

The type, according to Mr. Gabb, is in the collection of the Cali- 
fornia Geological Survey,’ but appears to have been misplaced or 
lost. From the description ‘we are led to believe that it is a form 
similar to 7. torquata, but of considerably broader spire. 


TURBONILLA (CHEMNITZIA) ASPYNOTA, new species. 


Plate 2, figs. 10, 10a. 


Shell small, elongate-conic diaphanous. Nuclear whorls two and 
one-half, sinall, helicoid, forming a moderately elevated spire, having 
their axis at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first 
of which they are about one-fifth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls 
high between the sutures, very strongly shouldered at the summits, 
Somewhat contracted at the periphery, well rounded, marked by 
strong, sublamellar axial ribs that render the summits strongly 
crenulate. Sixteen of the axial ribs appear upon the first and 
second, 18 upon the third, fourth, and fifth, and 20 upon the remain- 
ing turns. Intercostal spaces a little wider than the ribs, deeply 
sunk below the general surface, extending to the suture on all the 
turns of the spire. Sutures strongly marked. Periphery of the last 
whorl feebly angulated. Base short, well rounded, smooth. Aper- 
ture rather large, subquadrate, posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, 
bent abruptly anteriorly toward the columella, which it joins almost 
at right angles; columella very slender and gently curved. 

The type (Cat. no. 162443, U.S.N.M) has eight post-nuclear whorls 
and measures: Length 3.2 mm., diameter 0.9 mm. It was collected 
by Mr. F. W. Kelsey, in 30 fathoms, off San Martin Island, Lower 
Cauifornia. Three additional specimens (Cat. no. 163242, U.S.N.M.) 
were collected by Mrs. Oldroyd, at San Pedro, California.

Chemnitzia muricata CARPENTER, Cat. Maz. Shell, 1856, p. 428. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls three, forming 
an elevated helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the 
succeeding turns, in the first of which it is almost half immersed. 
Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded, somewhat contracted at 
the suture, strongly shouldered at the summit, marked by very 
strong, slightly protractive axial ribs, of which 14 occur upon the 
first to fourth and 16 upon the remaining turns. These ribs extend 
prominently to the summit which they render muricated. Inter- 
costal spaces as wide as the ribs, deeply impressed, terminating at 
the periphery. Sutures very strongly marked. Periphery and base 
of the last whorl well rounded, smooth. Aperture rhomboidal; 
posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture 
within; columella slender, shghtly twisted and curved. 

The type and four specimens were taken from Spondylus at Mazat- 
lan, Mexico. The type and one other specimen are on tablet 1993, 
Liverpool collection, British Museum. It has seven post-nuclear 
whorls and measures: Length 2.3 mm., diameter 0.7 mm. 

This shell, as far as the structure of the spire is concerned, strangely 
recalls Turbonilla (Asmunda) turrita of C. B. Adams. The base, 
however, is entirely different.

Shell small, delicate, subdiaphanous to milk-white. Nuclear 
whorls two and one-half, forming a moderately elevated helicoid 
spire, the axis of which is at right angles to that of the succeeding 
turns, in the first of which it is very slightly immersed. . Post-nuclear 
whorls well rounded, slopingly shouldered near the summit, slightly 
constricted at the suture, marked by broad, low, rounded, axial ribs, 
which become somewhat flattened at the summit. Of these 16 occur 
upon the first to fourth, 18 upon the fifth and sixth, while upon the 
penultimate they are very much enfeebled and ill-defined. Inter- 
costal spaces narrow, shallow, the depressed area terminating a 
little posterior to the suture. Sutures constricted. Periphery and 
base of the last whorl somewhat inflated. Aperture moderately 
large, rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing

Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) 
Post-nuclear whorls strongly rounded, roundly shouldered at the 
summit, marked by moderately strong, rounded, protractive axial 
ribs, of which 16 occur upon the first, 18 upon the second and third,

the short base of the last whorl well rounded. Aperture (defective) ; 
columella stout, somewhat sinuous. 

The above description is based upon Professor Adams’s type, which 
has lost the nucleus and early whorls. The ten remaining measure: 
Length 5.9 mm.,diameter 1.5 mm. It comes from Panama. 

This species resembles Turbonilla (Strioturbonilla) panamensis 
C. B. Adams, but differs in having the whorls more rounded, fewer 
and less strongly developed ribs and more constricted sutures. 


TURBONILLA (CHEMNITZIA) HOUSERI, new species. 
Plate 2, figs. 15, 15a. 


Shell small, elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls two and 
one-fourth, forming an elevated helicoid spire, the axis of which is at 
right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is 
about one-fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls strongly rounded, 
slightly shouldered at the summit, marked by strong, sublamellar, 
decidedly protractive axial ribs, which are so arranged as to practi- 
cally form continuous oblique lines, from whorl to whorl. Of these 
ribs 14 appear upon the first to third, 16 upon the fourth and _ fifth, 
and 18 upon the remaining whorls. Intercostal spaces about as wide 
as the ribs, deeply impressed. Sutures somewhat constricted. 
Periphery of the last whorl and base well rounded. Aperture rhom- 
boidal; outer lip thin, columella moderately strong, slightly curved 
and slightly reflected. 

The two cotypes (Cat. no. 206853, U.S.N.M.) were dredged at U.S. 
Bureau of Fisheries station 2813, in 40 fathoms, bottom temperature 
81°, on coral sand bottom, off Galapagos Islands. One of these is a

TURBONILLA (CHEMNITZIA) ACULEUS C. B. Adams. 
Plate 2, figs. 2, 2a. 
Chemmiizia aculeus C. B. Apams, Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist. of N. Y., vol. 5, 1852, 
p. 388. 

Shell very slender, elongate-conic, subdiaphanous to milk-white. 
Nuclear whorls small, two and one-half, forming a small elevated 
helicoid spire, the axis of which is at right angles to that of the suc- 
ceeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-third immersed. 
Post-nuclear whorls slightly rounded, weakly shouldered at the sum- 
mit, marked by low, rounded, somewhat sinuous, protractive axial 
ribs, of which 14 occur upon the first to third, 16 upon the fourth 
and fifth, 18 upon the sixth to eighth, 20 upon the ninth, 22 upon the 
tenth, and 25 upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces about 
as wide as the ribs, well impressed, terminating at the sutures. 
Sutures well marked. Periphery and base of the last whorl well 
rounded, smooth, excepting faint lines of growth. Aperture small, 
rhomboidal; outer lip thin, showing the external markings within; 
columella oblique, almost straight, strongly reénforced by the base. 

The above description is based upon Professor Adams’s types; one 
a young specimen, of six and one-half whorls, has a little more per- 
fect nucleus than the adult shell; the latter has twelve post-nuclear 
whorls and measures: Length 4.4 mm., diameter 1 mm. They come 
from Panama.

vol. 33, 1907, p. 495, pl. 14, figs. 2, 2a. 

Shell small, slender, subdiaphanous to milk white; nuclear whorls 
two and one-half, helicoid but slightly elevated, well rounded, having 
their axis at right angles to the axis of the post-nuclear turn. Post- 
nuclear whorls smooth, rather high between the sutures, moderately 
rounded, marked by strong sublamellar axial ribs, which are about 
half as wide as the spaces that separate them, and extend strongly to 
the very summit of the whorl where they render the well-marked 
sutures crenulate. There are 14 of these ribs upon the first, 18 upon 
the fifth, and 20 upon the penultimate turn. The depressed inter- 
costal spaces terminate abruptly at the periphery. Base of the last 
whorl well rounded, smooth, without sculpture. Aperture: (outer 
lip fractured), columella slender, slightly twisted.

The type has seven post-nuclear turns and measures: Length 3 min., 
diameter 1 mm. It is Cat. no. 195942, U.S.N.M., and comes from 
Monterey, California. Another specimen (Cat. no. 160488, U.S.N.M.) 
was collected by Doctor Dall at the same place. 


TURBONILLA (CHEMNITZIA) KELSEYI, new species. 


Plate 2, figs. 16, L6a. 


Shell small, semitransparent. Nuclear whorls small, two and one- 
fourth, depressed, helicoid, having their axis at right angles to that 
of the succeeding turns, in the first of which they are about one- 
fifth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls moderately - rounded, orna- 
mented by somewhat sinuous, slightly protractive, rounded axial 
ribs, which are lower and somewhat expanded at the slightly shoul- 
dered summits of the whorls; 14 of these appear upon the third, 16 
upon the fourth, 18 upon the fifth, 20 upon the sixth and seventh, 
22 upon the eighth, and 24 upon the penultimate post-nuclear whorl 
of the type. Intercostal spaces only moderately impressed, about as 
wide as the ribs. Sutures well impressed. Periphery of the last 
whorl well rounded. Base moderately long, well rounded. Aper- 
ture suboval, posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the 
external sculpture within; columella short, stout, twisted, provided 
with a weak fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 46506, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Diego, Cali- 
fornia. It has lost the nucleus and probably the first two post- 
nuclear turns, and measures: Length 4.7 mm., diameter 0.9 mm. 
The nuclear whorls were described from a specimen of lot Cat. no.

turbonilla) vancouverensis (BArrRD), DALL, and BartscH, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 
vol. 30, 1907, pp. 495-496, pl. 44, fig. 1. 

Shell solid, rather broad and stout, subdiaphanous, bluish to milk- 
white. Nuclear whorls two, large, helicoid, partly obliquely im- 
mersed in the first of the later turns. Post-nuclear whorls well 
rounded, with the greatest convexity on the lower half of the exposed 
portion; ornamented by about 10 very broad, strong, slightly pro- 
tractive axial ribs on the second, 14 on the fifth, 16 on the eighth, and 
18 on the penultimate whorl. These ribs terminate before they reach 
the periphery of the whorl, leaving a plain band above the suture, as 
in T. torquata Gould, but not as broad as in that species. Intercostal 
spaces deep, narrower than the ribs. Sutures well marked by the 
shouldering at the summit and the sudden sloping of the ribs just 
above the periphery of the whorls. Aperture subovate; lp thin, 
joining the short, somewhat revolute columella in an even curve. 
Entire surface marked by faint, wavy, spiral striations. The speci- 
men figured has 10 post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length, 6 mm. ; 
diameter, 1.8 mm. 

Another specimen from the same locality, which has 12 post- 
nuclear whorls but is minus the nucleus and probably the first of the 
succeeding turns, measures: Length, 9.2 mm.; diameter, 2.5 mm. 

This species resembles 7. torquata Gould, but can easily be dis- 
tinguished from it by its broader base, its large, partly immersed, 
slanting nucleus, and the robust character of its whorls and ribs, the 
latter being fewer and much broader; the intercostal spaces being 
comparatively narrower. Baird’s cotypes, three specimens, were 
taken from the crop of a pintail duck shot in Esquimalt Harbor, Van- 
couver Island, British Columbia; they are in the British Museum.

TURBONILLA (STRIOTURBONILLA) ASSER, new species. 
Plate 3, figs. 1, la. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls small, two, 
depressed, helicoid, having their axis at right angles to that of the 
succeeding turns, in the first of which they are about one-third im- 
mersed. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, slightly overhanging, 
ornamented by well developed, somewhat sinuous, rounded, pro- 
tractive axial ribs, of which there are about 14 upon the third, 16 
upon the fourth and fifth, 18 upon the sixth to eighth, 20 upon the 
ninth to eleventh, and 22 upon the twelfth and penultimate turns. 
Intercostal spaces almost equal to the ribs in width, shallow, ter- 
minating some little distance posterior to the summit of the suc- 
ceeding whorl, thus leaving a rather broad, plain band above the 
suture in each turn. Sutures strongly constricted. Periphery of 
the last whorl well rounded. Base short, well rounded. Entire 
surface of spire and base marked by very fine, closely spaced, spiral 
striations. Aperture subquadrate. Posterior angle obtuse, outer lip 
thin, showing the external markings within, columella slender, well 
curved and slightly revolute. 

The type and a young specimen (Cat. no. 205932, U.S.N.M.) 
from which the nucleus has been described, come from off Redondo, 
California. The type has lost the nucleus and first post-nuclear 
whorl. The thirteen remaining whorls measure: Length, 8.3 mm.; 
diameter, 1.9 mm. Two additional specimens (Cat. no. 205933, 
U.S.N.M.) come from San Pedro, California. Two more (Cat. no. 
163244, U.S.N.M.) are also from the same locality.

appressed at the summit, marked by slender protractive axial ribs, 
of which 16 occur upon the first and second, 14 upon the third and 
fourth, and 16 upon the remaining whorls. Intercostal spaces well 
impressed, at least four times as wide as the ribs, terminating a little 
distance posterior to the suture, marked by many very fine, closely 
spaced spiral striations, which do not appear to extend over the 
ribs. Sutures well impressed. Periphery of the last whorl some- 
what angulated. Base short, well rounded, marked only by exceed-

ribs, of which 14 occur upon the first, 16 upon the second to sixth,18 
upon the seventh, 20 upon the eighth, 22 upon the ninth, and 25 
upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces almost as wide as the 
ribs, well impressed, terminating a little distance posterior to the 
suture. Sutures strongly marked. Periphery and rather long base 
of the last whorl well rounded, marked by the feeble continuations 
of the axial ribs. Entire surface of base and spire marked by numer- 
ous, strongly incised spiral striations, of which those on the spire 
somewhat exceed the ones on the base in strength. Aperture large, 
oval; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; colu- 
mella slender, sigmoid, slightly reflected. 

The type (Cat. no. 160210, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Lieutenant

take the name Turbonilla (Strioturbonilla) ralphi Dait and Bartscu. 

Shell robust, bluish-white. Nuclear whorls small, two, depressed, 
helicoid, having their axis at right angles to that of the succeeding 
turns, in the first of which they are about one-fifth immersed. Post- 
nuclear whorls well rounded, ornamented by strongly elevated, 
shghtly protractive axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon all of the 
whorls except the penultimate, which has 22.  Intercostal ‘spaces 
about twice as wide as the ribs, terminating a little above the summit 
of the preceding whorl, thus leaving a narrow, plain band in the 
suture. Sutures strongly impressed. Periphery of the last whorl 
well rounded. Base moderately long, well rounded. Entire surface 
of spire and base crossed by numerous very fine, closely spaced, wavy, 
spiral striations. Aperture suboval, outer lip thin, showing the exter- 
nal sculpture within. Columella slender, decidedly curved, and 
somewhat reflected. 

The specimen described and figured (Cat. no. 205934, U.S.N.M.) 
has lost the nucleus. ‘he eleven remaining whorls measure: Length 
6.5 mm., diameter 2.1 inm., and comes from off Point Firmin, Cali- 
fornia. Another specimen (Cat. no. 60916, U.S.N.M.) comes from 
San Diego, California. Still another (Cat. no. 205935, U.S.N.M.) was 
dredged at U. S. Bureau of Fisheries station 4322, in 110 to 197 
fathoms, off La Jolla, California. Two additional specimens in the 
University of California collection were obtained at their stations 22 
and 28 off San Diego. Mr. Berry’s collection contains two specimens ~

(Strioturbonilla) stylina Datu and Barrscu, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 33, 
1907, p. 497, pl. 44, figs. 11, lla. 

Shell slender, subdiaphanous to milk-white. Nuclear whorls two, 
smooth, depressed, helicoid, scarcely extending beyond the outline of 
the spire and having their axis at right angles to the axis of the 
succeeding turns. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, separated by 
strongly constricted sutures, rather high, ornamented by rather low, 
broad, rounded, sinuous, protractive axial ribs, of which there are 16 
upon the first, 20 upon the fifth, and 28 upon the penultimate turn. 
Intercostal spaces moderately depressed, about as wide as the ribs, ter- 
minating a short distance above the sutures, thus leaving a narrow, 
smooth band between the termination of the ribs and the suture as in 
T. (Strioturbonilla) torquata Gould, but not quite as wide as in that 
species. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base rather 
short, well rounded. Entire surface marked by very fine, wavy spiral 
striations. Aperture subovate, outer lip thin; columella slender, 
moderately long, slightly twisted, almost vertical. The specimen 
described and figured (Cat. no. 56429, U.S.N.M.) was collected by 
Doctor Dall in 8 or 10 fathoms at Monterey, California. It has 11 
post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 6.5 mm., diameter 1.7 mm. 
(not 8 and 1.9 mm., as erroneously stated in the last-cited reference). 
Another specimen was dredged in 12 fathoms off Del Monte, Monterey, 
by Mr.S.S. Berry (Cat. no. 165199, U.S.N.M.). Two specimens (Cat. 
no. 163249, U.S.N.M.), both immature, dredged by the Bureau of 
Fisheries steamer Albatross at station 2932 in 50 fathoms off Coro- 
nado Island, are provisionally referred to this form. 


TURBONILLA (STRIOTURBONILLA) CALVINI, new species. 


Plate 4, figs. 1, la. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls two and three- 
fourths, forming a decidedly elevated helicoid spire, the axis of which 
is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which 
they are about one-fourth immersed. Early post-nuclear whorls 
strongly rounded, decidedly shouldered at the summit, and con- 
stricted at the sutures. Later ones flattened in the middle, less 
shouldered and less contracted. Axial ribs strong, sublamellar, 
shouldered a little below the summit; 14 upon the first to ninth, 16 
upon the tenth, and 18 upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces 
about two and one-half times as wide as the ribs, well impressed, a

hittle more so on the shoulder than on the summit, which gives them 
a contracted appearance at this place, terminating a little above the 
suture. Sutures well impressed. Entire surface of base and spire 
marked by fine, wavy, spiral striations. Periphery and the moderately 
long base of the last whorl well rounded. Aperture rhomboidal; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella mod- 
erately strong, slightly curved. 

The two cotypes and four additional specimens (Cat. no. 162442, 
U.S.N.M.) were dredged by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, at station 
2823, in 264 fathoms off La Paz, Lower California. One of the 
cotypes has the nucleus and nine post-nuclear whorls, and measures: 
Length 3.1 mm., diameter 0.9mm. The other cotype consists of the 
last seven post-nuclear whorls; if perfect, it would probably have 
had twelve. This measures: Length 3.6 mm., diameter 1.2 mim.

Plate 3, figs. 9, 9a. 


Shell long, slender, bluish-white. Nuclear whorls small, two and 
one-half depressed, helicoid, having their axis at right angles to that 
of the succeeding turns, in the first of which they are about one-fifth 
immersed. Post-nuclear whorls exceedingly high between the sutures, 
evenly rounded, marked by almost vertical axial ribs, which become 
slightly expanded and flattened at the summits. There are 18 of 
these ribs upon the first to third, 20 upon the fourth to sixth, 22 upon 
the seventh, 24 upon the eighth and ninth, and 26 upon the tenth. 
Upon the penultimate turn they become decidedly irregular and en- 
feebled. Intercostal spaces about one-half as wide as the ribs, but 
little depressed below the general surface of the shell. Sutures some- 
what constricted. ~ Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base 
short and somewhat inflated, marked by feeble extensions of the axial 
ribs. Entire surface of spire and base crossed by numerous fine, 
Wavy, spiral striations. Aperture subquadrate, rather elongated, 
posterior angle obtuse, outer lip thin; columella rather long, slender, 
slightly sinuous. 

The type (Cat. no. 160065, U.S.N.M.) has twelve post-nuclear 
whorls, and measures: Length 7.9 mm., diameter 1.7 mm., and was 
collected at San Pedro, California. Two specimens from the same 
locality were identified for Mrs. Oldroyd.

the University of California off Catalina Island. 


TURBONILLA (STRIOTURBONILLA) GALIANOI, new species. 


Plate 4, figs. 12, 12a. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white, shining. Nuclear whorls very 
small, two and one-half, forming a rather elevated spire, having their 
axis at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of 
which they ‘are about one-fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls 
well rounded, very strongly tabulately shouldered at the summit, 
ornamented with well-developed, rounded, slightly protractively 
curved axial ribs. Of these ribs, 16 occur upon the first, second, and 
third, 18 upon the fourth and fifth, 20 upon the sixth, 22 upon the 
seventh, 24 upon the eighth, 26 upon the ninth, and 28 upon the 
penultimate turn. These ribs extend equally strong from the sum- 
mit to the periphery of the whorls. Intercostal spaces not quite as

TURBONILLA (STRIOTURBONILLA) HUMEROSA, new species. 


Plate 3, figs. 10, 10a. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls very small, 
two and one-half, depressed, helicoid, having their axis at right 
angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which they are 
about one-fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls very strongly 
rounded, moderately shouldered at the summit, marked by many 
strong lamellar, protractive axial ribs, which slope suddenly from a 
point about one-third of the distance between the sutures, anterior 
to the summit, giving the whorls a shouldered appearance at this 
place. Of these ribs, 14 occur upon the second to fourth, 16 upon 
the fifth to ninth, 18 upon the tenth, and 20 upon the penultimate 
turn. Intercostal spaces deeply impressed, double the width of the 
ribs. Sutures strongly marked. Periphery of the last whorl well 
rounded. Base short, well rounded. Entire surface of spire and 
base marked by many fine, wavy, spiral striations. Aperture sub- 
quadrate, posterior angle obtuse. Outer lip rather thick and some-

Plate 3, fig. 3. 
Chemnitzia C-B-Adamsi CARPENTER, Cat. Maz. Shells, 1856, p. 427. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls two and one- 
half, forming a moderately elevated helicoid spire, whose axis is at 
right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is 
about one-fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls slightly rounded, 
slightly contracted at the suture, somewhat shouldered at the sum- 
mit, marked by well-developed, rounded, somewhat protractive axial 
ribs, of which 12 occur upon the first and second, 14 upon the third 
to sixth, 16 upon the seventh, and 18 upon the penultimate whorl. 
Intercostal spaces a little wider than the ribs, terminating at the 
periphery, marked by very distinct, equally spaced, equal spiral stria- 
tions. Sutures well marked, rendered wavy by the ribs. Periphery 
and base of the last whorl well rounded. Aperture rhomboidal; 
outer lip thin; columella moderately curved. 

The type and twelve specimens were collected off Chama and

Turbonilla (Strioturbonilla) serre Dati and Bartscu, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 
vol. 33, 1907, pl. 44, figs. 8, 8a. 

Shell slender, very elongate-conic, subdiaphanous to milk-white. 
Nuclear whorls two and one-half, depressed, helicoid, having their 
axis at right angles to that of its succeeding turns, in the first of which 
they are about one-fifth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls very high 
between the sutures, moderately rounded, slightly contracted at the 
periphery and somewhat shouldered at the summit, rendering the 
sutures subchannelled. The whorls are marked by subequal and sub- 
equally spaced, rather broad, rounded, almost vertical axial ribs, 
which are a little wider than the intercostal spaces, the depressed por- 
tion of the latter terminating a little above the suture. In the type, 
which has lost the nucleus and probably the first two post-nuclear 
turns, there are 16 ribs on the third of the remaining whorls, 20 on the 
eighth, 22 upon the eleventh, and 34 upon the next, the penultimate 
turn. On this whorl the axial ribs are less regular and less strongly 
developed, showing senile degeneration. Periphery of the last whorl 
well rounded. Base short, well rounded, marked by slender con- 
tinuations of the axial ribs, which extend feebly to the insertion of 
the columella. Entire surface of spire and base crossed by numerous 
closely placed spiral striations. Aperture subquadrate, posterior 
angle obtuse, outer lip thin, columella rather strong, somewhat 
oblique, and slightly revolute, without apparent fold in the aperture. 
The type has thirteen whorls and measures: Length 7.7 mm., diameter 
1.4 mm. ; 

The type and seven specimens were collected by Mr. 8. 8. Berry in 
12 fathoms off Del Monte, Monterey, California; five of these are in 
Mr. Berry’s collection. The type and one other, form Cat. no. 196198. 
Cat. no. 196200, U.S.N.M., contains a specimen from 40 fathoms 
off Pacific Grove, Monterey, California, dredged by Mr. Berry. An- 
other specimen in Mr. Berry’s collection was dredged in shelly sand at 
Monterey, California, at a depth of 29 fathoms. 

This species is nearest related to Strioturbonilla stylina Carpenter, 
but can readily be distinguished from it by its less rounded whorls, 
straighter and much stronger ribs, and by having the ribs continuing 
over the base, and scarcely any space showing between the termination 
of the intercostal spaces and the suture. 

It is named in honor of Father Junipero Serra, the early Spanish 
missionary to California.

TURBONILLA (STRIOTURBONILLA) ARESTA, new species. 
Plate 4, figs. 5, 5a. 


Shell very slender, milk-white. Nuclear whorls small, two and 
one-half, forming a moderately elevated, helicoid spire, which has 
its axis at right angles to that of the succeeding whorls, and is not 
at all immersed. Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded, marked 
by sublamellar, protractive axial ribs, which extend undiminished to 
the summit of the whorls, rendering this crenulated. There are 14 
of these upon the first three whorls, 16 upon the fourth to eighth, 
18 upon the ninth, 20 upon the tenth and eleventh, and 21 upon the 
penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces about one and one-half times 
as wide on all but the last three whorls; on the latter they are about as 
wide as the ribs and terminate a little posterior to the suture. Sutures 
strongly marked. Periphery of the last whorl faintly angulated. 
Base short, well rounded. Aperture moderately large, subquadrate, 
posterior angle obtuse. Outer lip thin, bent almost at right angles 
to the anterior lateral angle. Columella slender, slightly curved and 
slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 206858, U.S.N.M.) has thirteen post-nuclear 
whorls and measures: Length 6.4 mm., diameter 1.2 mm. It was 
dredged off Catalina Island, together with nine additional specimens, 
by the University of California. Five additional specimens were 
dredged by the same institution off San Diego. Another specimen 
(Cat. no. 163252, U.S.N.M.) was dredged at U.S. Bureau of Fisheries 
station 2901, off Santa Rosa Island, in 48 fathoms. Another specimen 
(Cat. no. 206863, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Diego.

Plate 4, figs. 13, 18a. 


Shell very slender, elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls 
two and three-fourths, forming a decidedly elevated spire, the axis 
of which is at a right angle to that of the succeeding turns, in the 
first of which it is scarcely at all immersed. Post-nuclear whorls 
moderately rounded, with very feebly shouldered summits, orna- 
mented with well-developed narrow protractive axial ribs, 14 occur 
upon the first to tenth, and 16 upon the remaining turns. Inter- 
costal spaces about two and one-half times as wide as the ribs, 
well impressed, marked by exceedingly fine, closely spaced, spiral 
striations. Sutures well impressed, rendered somewhat sinuous by 
the ribs. Periphery of the last whorl somewhat angulated. Base 
short, well rounded, marked by fine spiral striations. Aperture 
rather long, rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, 
showing the external sculpture within; columella moderately strong, 
curved, and slightly revolute.

TURBONILLA (STRIOTURBONILLA) GALAPAGENSIS, new species. 
Plate 4, fig. 7. 


Shell yellowish-white. (Early whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear 
whorls contracted a little posterior to the middle between the sutures, 
which gives them a concave outline, slightly shouldered at the summit 
and somewhat contracted at the sutures; marked by about 22 low, 
rounded, almost vertical, axial ribs. Intercostal spaces almost as 
wide as the ribs, marked by fine lines of growth, which gives them a 
somewhat crinkly appearance, and two incised spiral lines at the 
contracted part. Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, 
marked by the continuations of the axial ribs. Aperture somewhat 
fractured, pear-shaped ? 

The type (Cat. no. 206859, U.S.N.M.) was obtained at U. S. 
Bureau of Fisheries station 2808, in 634 fathoms, temperature 39.9°, 
off the Galapagos Islands. It consists of the last four and one-half 
whorls and measures: Length 3.5 mm., diameter 1.6 mm.

Chemnitzia undata CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, pp. 431, 432. 


‘‘Shell graceful, slender, soiled white. Nuclear whorls extending 
somewhat beyond the outline of the post-nuclear spire. Post- 
nuclear whorls subplanate, separated by strong sutures and marked 
by about eighteen narrow, acute axial ribs which are very weak at 
the periphery and disappear entirely on the base. Intercostal spaces 
broad, marked by superficial spiral striations which are strongest at 
the periphery. Outer lip thin; columella gracefti, scarcely twisted.” 

The above is Carpenter’s description, to which he adds: ‘‘On com- 
paring this shell with the corresponding portion of C. gracilior C. B. 
Ads., it is found to have fewer and much finer and sharper ribs which 
do not end at the periphery, like the curved interspaces; length 1.6

The specimen referred to above, tablet 2002, is a badly worn young 
shell, with indications of very protractive axial ribs and finely spirally 
striated base. 

Carpenter’s manuscript figure is evidently taken from the young 
individual referred to above, which shows a peripheral series of pits

Shell slender, wax yellow, with a narrow brighter colored band 
about one-third of the distance between the sutures, anterior to the 
summit. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear whorls slightly 
rounded and moderately shouldered at the summit, marked by well- 
rounded, low, slightly protractive axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon 
the first and second, 20 upon the third and fourth, 22 upon the fifth, 
24 upon the sixth and the remaining turns. Intercostal spaces a 
little narrower than the ribs, shallow, marked by a moderately strong 
series of peripheral pits and probably 60 to 80 fine, equal, and equally 
spaced, strongly incised spiral lines. Periphery and base well rounded, 
marked by numerous, closely spaced, well incised, wavy spiral stria- 
tions. Aperture rhomboid, outer lip thin, showing the external 
sculpture within; columella moderately strong, almost straight and 
somewhat revolute.

the periphery, the second a little posterior to the middle between the 
sutures. In addition to these pits, they are marked by fine, equal 
and equally spaced spiral striations of which thirty-one probably 
occur between the peripheral and median pit and twenty between that 
and the summit. Sutures well marked. Periphery and base of the 
last whorl well rounded, marked by the continuations of the axial ribs 
and numerous fine, well-incised, wavy spiral striations. Aperture

covered by a thin epidermis. Columella usually somewhat flexuose. 

Type.—Pyrgolampros mioperplicatulus Sacco. 

All our west American species are of a light-yellow to chocolate- 
brown color. The intercostal spaces are not depressed as in Chem- 
nitzia, but appear as simple shallow undulations between the axial 
ribs. The spiral striations, in perfect specimens, appear as if they 
were situated beneath a light-colored epidermis and were shining 
through it.

TURBONILLA (PYRGOLAMPROS) VICTORIANA Dall and Bartsch. 
Plate 5, fig. 3. 


Turbonilla (Pyrgolampros) victoriana Dat and Barrscn, Proc. U. 8S. Nat. Mus., 
vol. 33, 1907, p. 501, pl. 44, fig. 6. 

Shell elongate-conic, wax yellow to light brown. Nuclear whorls 
and the early succeeding turns eroded in all the specimens examined. 
Post-nuclear whorls quite high between the sutures, somewhat con- 
cave in the posterior two-thirds of the exposed portion, only slightly 
contracted toward the periphery and faintly shouldered at the sum- 
mit; ornamented by low, rounded, somewhat sinuous axial ribs, which 
are about as wide as the shallow intercostal spaces. Sutures well 
marked. Periphery and base of the last whorl somewhat inflated, 
marked by weak continuations of the axial ribs which extend feebly 
to the umbilical region. Entire surface crossed by numerous, wavy 
spiral striations. Aperture rather elongate, oval, outer lip thin; 
columella moderately long, decidedly twisted and somewhat revolute 
in its free anterior portion; the twist at its insertion appearing as a 
fold. 

The type (Cat. no. 126660a, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Dr. C. F. 
Newcombe at Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It has 
the last seven and a half whorls and measures: Length 7 mm., diame- 
ter 2.1mm. Ten additional speciments were collected by Rey. G. W. 
Taylor, at Departure Bay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, four 
of which form Cat. no. 196220, U.S.N.M. 

This species appears nearest related to Turbonilla, (Pyrgolampros) 
newcombet Dall and Bartsch, but is readily distinguished from that 
form by its coneave whorls. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGOLAMPROS) GIBBOSA Carpenter. 
Plate 6, fig. 2. 
Chemnitzia gibbosa CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, p. 430. 


Shell pupiform, reddish brown, irregular. (Nuclear whorls decol- 
lated.) Post-nuclear whorls ten, flattened, marked with about eight- 
een poorly developed, more or less rounded, vertical axial ribs. This 
species is described, although from a solitary and very imperfect 
specimen, in consequence of its great peculiarity of form, in which it 
resembles Chrysallida. It is short, stumpy, and very broad; without 
any trace of fold on the columella or notch on the base. Length 
6.75 mm., diameter 5 mm. 

Habitat—Mazatlan; off Chama, extremely rare; Liverpool collec- 
tion. 

Tablet 1996 contains all that was found, namely, the broken speci- 
men, and a fresh fragment displaying sculpture. 


62 BULLETIN 68, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 


The above is Doctor Carpenter’s original description. An exami- 
nation of the two speciments in the British Museum sheds little addi- 
tional light. The fragment is a thick, stumpy shell too poor to be 
determined. The small individual is of a light-brown color, showing 
irregular axial ribs and smooth intercostal spaces. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGOLAMPROS) RIDGWAYI, new species. 


Plate 6, figs. 10, 10a. 


Shell robust, brown. Nuclear whorls two and one-half, moderately 
large, forming a depressed helicoid spire, the axis of which is almost 
at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which 
they are about one-fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened 
in the middle, rounded at the moderately strong shoulder at the 
summit, and at the periphery; marked by strong, well elevated, 
rounded, almost vertical axial ribs, which are slightly contracted in 
the middle and somewhat sinuous. Of these ribs, 18 occur upon 
the third to sixth and 20 upon the penultimate whorl. Intercostal 
spaces well impressed, decidedly so in the middle, a little wider than 
the ribs. Sutures strongly marked, rendered sinuous by the ribs at 
the summits of the whorls. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. 
Base moderately long, well rounded, marked by the feeble continua- 
tions of the axial ribs. Entire surface of base and spire marked 
by closely crowded, wavy, well-incised spiral striations. Aperture 
moderately large, oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, show- 
ing the external sculpture within; columella moderately strong, 
somewhat curved and revolute, provided with a weak oblique fold 
at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 162560, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Diego, 
California. It has seven post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 
4.6 mm., diameter 2 mm. 

Named for Robert Ridgway of the U.S. National Museum.

Shell inflated, robust, broad and stumpy, of light fulvous coloration. 
Nuclear whorls decollated in the type. Post-nuclear whorls flattened, 
somewhat contracted at the periphery and rounded at the summit, 
traversed by broad, coarse, irregularly slanting axial ribs, which 
extend over the inflated periphery of the last whorl to the umbilical

region, appearing less prominent on the base. About 16 of these ribs 
occur upon the second, 18 upon the fifth, and 24 upon the penultimate 
post-nuclear whorl. Entire surface of the shell crossed by very 
minute, close spiral striation. Suture subchanneled and wavy. 
Aperture ovate, outer lip thin, joining the twisted and revolute colu- 
mella in a broad curve. 

The type (Cat. no. 32273, U.S.N.M.) was collected at Monterey, 
California. It has seven post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 
5.6 mm., diameter 2.1 mm. 

Another specimen, not quite adult (Cat. no. 176624, U.S.N.M.), 
comes from Pacific Grove, California. This has the nuclear whorls 
preserved, which are two, depressed helicoid, smooth, obliquely about 
one-fourth immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, having 
their axis at right angles to that of the later whorls. The left side of 
its nucleus projects slightly beyond the outline of the spire. 

The present form is in every way much more robust than 7. (P.) 
gibbosa Carpenter, which was described from Mazatlan, Mexico.

Turbonilla (Pyrgolampros) newcombei Dati and Barrscu, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 
vol. 33, 1907, p. 503, pl. 45, fig. 6. 

Shell regularly, broadly conic, white on the posterior half and light 
brown on the anterior half of the exposed portion of the whorl; base 
white. Nuclear whorls decollated in all the specimens seen. Post- 
nuclear whorls somewhat overhanging, decidedly contracted toward 
the periphery from the anterior fifth of the exposed part; almost 
flattened posterior to this, and closely appressed at the summit, sepa- 
rated by strongly marked sutures. Ribs about 18 upon all the turns, 
almost vertical, moderately elevated, rounded in the middle, decidedly 
flattened and widened at the summit, disappearing at the periphery. 
Intercostal spaces not depressed below the general surface, a little 
wider than the ribs. Periphery and the moderately long base well 
rounded, smooth, excepting the fine spiral striation which covers the 
entire surface of the shell. Aperture subquadrate, posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin, showing the color bands within; columella 
slender, oblique, and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 126660, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Dr. C. F. 
Newcombe, at Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It has 
seven post-nuclear whorls which measure: Length 5.4 mm., diameter 
2.1 mm. Eighteen additional specimens were collected by Rey.

vol. 33, 1907, p. 499, pl. 44, figs. 9, 9a. 

Shell very regularly elongate-conic, purplish-brown. Entire sur- 
face marked by numerous closely placed minute spiral striations. 
Nuclear whorls small, depressed helicoid, smooth, scarcely at all 
immersed, having their axis at a right angle to that of the later turns, 
the sides not projecting beyond the outline of the spire. Post-nuclear 
whorls quite high between the sutures, only slightly contracted 
toward the periphery and very weakly beveled at the appressed 
summits, marked by low, broad, retractive axial ribs, which are 
much more numerous and less strongly defined on the early whorls 
than on those succeeding. There are about 36 on the second, 30 
upon the third, 24 upon the fourth, and 26 upon the antepenultimate 
post-nuclear turn. On the last whorl they become irregular and 
irregularly spaced, showing senility. The ribs become flattened and 
less strongly defined toward the summit and the periphery, disap- 
pearing at the well-rounded periphery. Sutures well marked. Base 
short, inflated, rounded. Aperture suboval, somewhat effuse anteri- 
orly; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, white edged, chestnut 
brown within except at the very base, which is white; columella slen- 
der, twisted, and slightly revolute isheroe 

The ae description is based upon two cotypes (Cat. no. 196210, 
U.S.N.M.); one, an immature specimen having the nucleus and 9 
post-nuclear whorls measures: Length 6.5 mm., diameter 1.9 mm., 
the other an adult individual having 10 whorls is minus the nucleus 
and probably the first five post-nuclear turns, and measures: Length 
11.5 mm., diameter 3.1 mm. 

The two cotypes and 30 specimens were collected by the Rev. G. W. 
Taylor at Departure Bay, British Columbia. The cotypes and five 
specimens are in the U. S. National Museum (Cat. no. 196210). The 
rest are in the Taylor collection. 

This species was collected at five additional stations in British 
Columbia by the Rev. G. W. Taylor, all the specimens being in his 
collection except where otherwise stated. One specimen at Carter 
Bay; 3 at Port Simpson, 1 of which is Cat. no. 196211, U.S.N.M.; 
11 at Banks Island, 3 of which are Cat. no 196212, U.S.N.M.; 6 at

to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which they are about 
one-fourth immersed. Early post-nuclear whorls increasing but 
little in diameter, rather high between the sutures, ornamented by 
very slender, somewhat sinuous, almost vertical axial ribs. Later 
whorls increasing more rapidly in diameter, less elevated between 
the sutures, ornamented by low, broad, rounded, almost vertical 
axial ribs, which become decidedly enfeebled as they approach the 
summit. There are almost 40 axial ribs upon the first, 34 upon the 
second, 30 upon the third, 25 upon the fourth, 20 upon the fifth to 
eleventh, and 22 upon the penultimate whorl. Intercostal spaces 
mere lines, on the first whorl, on the later ones shallow impressed 
areas of about half the width of the ribs. Sutures well marked. 
Periphery of the last whorl inflated. Base short, well rounded, pos- 
terior portion marked by the very feeble extensions of the ial ribs; 
the anterior smooth, excepting the very fine and exceedingly Sage 
spaced spiral striations, which cover the entire surface of the shell. 
Aperture subquadrate; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing 
the external sculpture within; columella slender, slightly twisted. 

The type and four additional specimens (Cat. no. 152751a, 
U.S.N.M.), were collected by Mr. H. N. Lowe, in 10 fathoms off San 
Pedro, California. The type has lost the nucleus. The ten remaining

Plate 6, figs. 1, la. 


Shell slender, light brown. Nuclear whorls small, two, depressed, 
helicoid, having their axis almost at right angles to that of the suc- 
ceeding turns, in the first of which they are slightly immersed. Post- 
nuclear whorls increasing regularly in size, marked by low, rounded, 
feebly developed axial ribs, of which there are 24 upon the second 
to fourth, 20 upon the fifth to eighth, 22 upon the ninth and 
penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces narrow and shallow. Sutures 
moderately impressed. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded, 
somewhat inflated. Base short, inflated. Entire surface of spire 
and base covered by numerous fine, closely spaced, wavy spiral stria-

The above description is based on two cotypes, one (Cat. no. 1632564 
U.S.N.M.) from San Pedro, California, has furnished the description 
of the nucleus and early whorls, the other (Cat. no. 159990, U.S.N.M.) 
also from San Pedro, consisting of the last seven whorls, has fur- 
nished the adult characters. The young specimen has 9 post-nuclear 
whorls and measures: Length, 5.8 mm., diameter 2 mm. The adult 
specimen measures: Length 6.1 mm., diameter 2 mm. 

Cat. no. 162561, U.S.N.M., contains a fragment collected by Henry 
Hemphill at Pacific Beach. Cat. no. 163256, U.S.N.M., nine speci- 
mens from San Pedro, collected by Mrs. Oldroyd. Cat. no. 163258, 
U.S.N.M., one specimen, dredged by the U. 8S. Bureau of Fisheries 
at station 2900, in 13 fathoms, off Santa Rosa Island. Another

Shell slender, very regularly acutely conic, bright chestnut-brown, 
with two narrow spiral bands of a lighter shade; one, the narrower of 
the two, is at the periphery, the other has its posterior edge at about 
the middle of the exposed portion between the sutures. Nuclear 
turns two and one-fourth, smooth, depressed, helicoid, not immersed, 
having their axis at a right angle to the axis of the later whorls, their 
sides projecting slightly beyond the outlines of the spire. Post- 
nuclear whorls very high between the sutures, slightly beveled at the 
summit and moderately constricted at the periphery, ornamented by 
well-developed, acute, retractive axial ribs, of which there are about 
20 upon the second, 24 upon the fifth, and 26 upon the penultimate 
turn. These ribs extend quite strongly to the summit, where they 
feebly crenulate the well-impressed sutures. Periphery and base of 
the last whorl well rounded, marked by the continuations of the axial 
ribs, which gradually disappear as they cross the base. Entire sur- 
face marked by numerous very fine, closely spaced, wavy, spiral 
striation. Aperture suboval, somewhat effuse anteriorly; posterior 
angle acute; columella oblique, very slightly twisted and weakly 
revolute at its outer extremity.

Plate 6, fiz. 9. 


Shell elongate-conic, wax yellow, with a broad, peripheral, light- 
brown band and a narrow one immediately below the summit; these 
are best seen in the aperture. (Nuclear whorls decollated in all our 
specimens.) Post-nuclear whorls increasing very slowly in diameter 
in the first three turns, then more rapidly. The summits of succeed- 
ing turns fall a little helow the periphery, which gives the whorls an 
overhanging appearance. The whorls are marked by very strong, 
well elevated, broad, rounded, irregularly slanting axial ribs which 
become slightly widened and flattened both at the summit and at the 
periphery. There are about 18 of them upon all but the last turn; 
upon this there are about 22. Intercostal spaces about as wide as 
the axial ribs. Sutures strongly impressed. Periphery of the last 
whorl somewhat angulated, base moderately long, well rounded, 
marked by feeble extensions of the axial ribs and many fine, closely 
spaced, wavy spiral striations; the latter also mark the spaces between 
the sutures. Aperture moderately large, ovate, posterior angle acute; 
outer lip moderately thick; columella oblique, curved andstrongly 
revolute; parietal wall covered by a strong callus. 

The type and seven specimens (Cat. no. 160206, U.S.N.M.) were col- 
lected at St. Paul, Kadiak, Alaska, in 13 fathoms, mud bottom, by 
Dr. W. H. Dall. The type has lost the nucleus and probably the first 
one and one-half post-nuclear turns. The nine remaining measure: 
Length 8 mm., diameter 2.6 mm. The following specimens were all 
collected by Doctor Dall (Cat. no. 205149, U.S.N.M.). Nine specimens

TURBONILLA (PYRGOLAMPROS) HALISTREPTA, new species. 
Plate 5, fig. 2. 


Shell elongate-conic, wax yellow with a broad subsutural, narrow 
submedian and a broad subperipheral band of goldenbrown. (Nuclear 
whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear whorls rather high between the 
sutures, very slightly shouldered, marked by almost obsolete, nearly 
vertical axial ribs, which are best developed near the summit and 
practically disappear before they reach the suture on the early whorls; 
on the last three they are scarcely indicated. Of these ribs there 
are about 28 upon the third and 24 upon the seventh whorl. Sutures 
well impressed. Periphery and.the short base of the last whorl some- 
what inflated, well rounded. Entire surface of spire and base marked 
by many well incised, closely spaced, wavy, spiral striations. Some 
of the fine lirations between the incised lines are a little darker colored 
than the rest of the surface and appear as reddish-brown hair lines. 
Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the 
external markings within; columella slender, strongly curved and 
moderately revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 205954, U.S.N.M.) was dredged by the Univer-

TURBONILLA (PYRGOLAMPROS) LITUYANA, new species. 
Plate 5, fig. 8. 


Shell elongate-conic, light wax yellow, with a supra and subperiph- 
eral light chestnut band, separated by a very narrow, dark wax 
yellow peripheral zone. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear 
whorls rather high between the sutures, early ones with moderately 
strong, broad, low, almost vertical axial ribs, which become quite 
obsolete on the last turn and a half. About 22 of these ribs appear 
upon the eighth whorl. Intercostal spaces narrow and weakly 
impressed. Sutures well rounded. Periphery and base of the last 
whorl well rounded, the latter marked by continuations of the obsolete 
riblets and the fine, close, wavy spiral striations which also cover the 
entire surface of the spire. Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; 
outer lip thin; columella slender, oblique, slightly curved and revolute, 
with a slight fold at its insertion; parietal wall covered by a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 160208, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Dr. W. H. 
Dall, at Lituya Bay, Alaska. It has the last nine post-nuclear whorls, 
having lost the nucleus and probably the first two post-nuclear turns, 
and measures: Length 11.5 mm., diameter 3.7 mm. Two additional

Shell elongate-conic, wax yellow, with two yellowish-brown spiral 
bands, the posterior one of which encircles the turns a little above 
the periphery, while the anterior one, which is a little wider, is imme- 
diately posterior to it, the two being separated by a space about 
as wide as the posterior band. (Nuclear whorls decollated in all our 
specimens.) Post-nuclear turns very slightly rounded, moderately 
contracted at the periphery, and closely appressed to the preceding 
turn at the summit. There are no well-defined ribs, the axial sculpture 
being reduced to mere lines of growth, with here and there a weakly 
impressed area, probably representing an obsolete intercostal space. 
Sutures strongly impressed. Periphery of the last whorl faintly 
angulated. Base short, well rounded. Entire surface marked by 
fine, regular, close, spiral striation. Aperture pyriform, posterior 
angle acute; outer lip thin, columella somewhat twisted, scarcely

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) ANNETT4Z, new species. 


Plate 7, fig. 7. 


Shell very thin and delicate, yellowish-white. (Nuclear whorls 
decollated.) Post-nuclear whorls concave with a_ tuberculated 
shoulder a little below the summit, marked by strong, sinuous, slender, 
almost vertical axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon all but the penulti- 
mate whorl, the latter having 20. Intercostal spaces about four 
times as wide as the ribs, marked by seven broad, incised, spiral pits. 
The space between the first and second pit below the summit forms a 
rather strong raised spiral cord, the Junction of which with the ribs 
renders them tuberculate. Periphery of the last whorl angulated. 
Base well rounded, marked by the feeble continuations of the axial 
ribs only. Aperture rhomboidal; posterior angle acute; outer lip 
thin, showing the external markings within; columella slender, curved 
and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 163265, U.S.N.M.) and another specimen were 
dredged at U. S. Bureau of Fisheries station 2792 in 401 fathoms, off 
Manta, Ecuador. 

The type has the last six and one-half whorls and measures: 
Length 3.7 mm., diameter 1.3 mm.

Shell very slender, acute, milk-white. Nuclear whorls prolonged, 
partly lost. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded at first, later flattened, 
moderately contracted at the periphery and slightly shouldered at the 
summit, marked by slender, almost vertical, axial ribs, of which 12 
occur upon the first, 14 upon the second and third, 16 upon the fourth, 
18 upon the fifth and penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces as broad 
as the ribs, terminating suddenly at the periphery, crossed by about 
fourteen equal and equally spaced spiral pits, which are equal to the 
spaces which separate them. Periphery and base of the last whorl 
wellrounded, without sculpture, smooth. Aperturerhomboidal; pos- 
terior angle obtuse; outer lip thin; columella slender, somewhat 
twisted. 

Two specimens were collected off Chama at Mazatlan, Mexico; the 
larger of these has eight post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 3

British Museum. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) VEXATIVA, new species. 


Plate 7, fig. 11. 


Shell stout, chestnut brown. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) Post- 
nuclear whorls flattened in the middle, slightly rounded toward the 
appressed summit, and weakly contracted at the periphery, marked 
by weak, rounded, vertical axial ribs, which terminate abruptly at the 
periphery, of which 22 occur upon the fifth, 24 upon the sixth and 
seventh, and 26 upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces about 
one and one-half times as wide as the ribs, marked by six equal and 
equally spaced spiral grooves, which divide the space between the 
sutures into seven equal parts. Sutures well impressed. Periphery 
of the last whorl angulated. Base short, marked by eight strongly 
incised spiral lines, which decrease in spacing from the periphery to 
the umbilical area. The space immediately behind the columella 
bears a number of closely spaced, fine, spiral striations. Aperture 
rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the 
external markings within; columella slender, somewhat twisted and 
shghtly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 160200, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Mr. E. W. 
Roper at San Pedro, California. It has lost the nucleus. The nine 
remaining whorls measure: Length 6.2 mm., diameter 2.1 mm.

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) OBESA, new species. 
Plate 7, figs. 3, 3a. 


Shell robust, chocolate brown. Nuclear whorls small, deeply 
obliquely immersed in the first post-nuclear turn, above which only the 
tilted eage of the last one projects. Post-nuclear whorls flattened, 
moderately shouldered at the summit, marked by strong vertical 
axial ribs, which are decidedly contracted at their junctions with the 
spiral grooves, which lends them a somewhat nodulous aspect. Of 
these ribs, 16 appear on the first, 18 on the second, 20 upon the third 
to fifth, 22 on the sixth, and 24 on the penultimate turn. Intercostal 
spaces about as broad as the ribs, crossed by five strongly incised 
spiral grooves which almost cross the ribs. One of these is at the 
periphery. The remaining four appear in a double series; the one 
placed about as far below the summit as the other is above the periph- 
ery, the space between them being wider than that between the 
summit and the first pit below it. Two fine incised spiral lines mark 
the space between the summit and the first series of pits below it. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by a broad plain band, well 
rounded. Base very short, well rounded, marked by about six un- 
equal and unequally spaced strong incised lines. Aperture pear- 
shaped; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external 
sculpture within; columella oblique, shghtly revolute, provided with 
a moderately strong fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 162563 U.S.N.M.) was collected at Pacific Beach, 
California. It has eight post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 
5.2 mm., diameter 1.8 mm.

“Shell quite large, elongate, ashy. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) 
Post-nuclear whorls 13, flattened, separated by weakly impressed 
sutures. Axial ribs 20 to 28, straight, subacute, suddenly truncated 
at the periphery. Intercostal spaces marked by 4 to 5 deeply im- 
pressed spiral grooves, which pass up on the sides of the ribs but do 
not cross their summits. Periphery of the last whorl angulated. 
Base short, marked by 6 spiral lines. Aperture subquadrate; col- 
umella strongly twisted. Length 8.8 mm., diameter 2.3 mm.” 

The above is Doctor Carpenter’s description, to which he adds: 
“This beautiful and unique shell was probably from Panama; but 
there was no locality mark. It is remarkable for its deep furrow and 
the suddenly shortened and spirally sculptured base. It is much 
larger and broader than the northern C. virgo, and differs in details of 
sculpture.’’ We have not seen this species.

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) PEQUENSIS, new species. 
Plate 7, figs. 5, 5a. 


Shell slender, light yellow, with a broad golden band encircling the 
whorls in the middle between the sutures, and another a little wider 
immediately posterior to the periphery. Nuclear whorls two, plan- 
orboid, having their axis almost at right angles to that of the suc- 
ceeding turns, in the first of which they are about one-fourth im- 
mersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened in the middle, with a strong 
sloping shoulder, which occupies about one-fifth of the space between 
the sutures; somewhat contracted at the periphery, marked by 
moderately strong, slightly protractive axial ribs, which are strongest 
at the angle of the shoulder and terminate at the periphery. Of these 
ribs there are 14 upon the first to third and 16 upon the remaining 
turns. Intercostal spaces almost as wide as the ribs, shallow, marked 
by eight equal, strongly incised, but unequally spaced spiral grooves; 
the three immediately posterior to the periphery being a little more 
closely spaced than the rest. Two feebly incised fine lines divide 
the space between the summit and the first strong line and that 
between the first and second. These fine lines are best shown on 
the last whorls. Sutures well impressed. Base short, well rounded, 
marked by about a dozen very fine, wavy spiral striations. Aperture 
rhomboid; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; 
columella somewhat twisted, slightly revolute, provided with an 
oblique fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 97019, U.S.N.M.) has eight post-nuclear whorls, 
and measures: Length 4.6 mm., diameter 1.8 mm. It was collected 
at U.S. Bureau of Fisheries station 2834, near Point Abreojos, in 12 
fathoms, on sand bottom, off Lower California. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) NUTTINGI, new species. 
Plate 7, figs. 13, 13a. 


Shell long and slender, wax yellow on the posterior half between the 
sutures, light brown on the anterior and the periphery. Nuclear 
whorls large, two and one-half, forming a depressed helicoid spire, the 
axis of which is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the 
first, of which it is about one-fifth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls 
moderately well rounded, slightly shouldered at the summit, marked 
by strong, broad, well rounded, somewhat protractive axial ribs, of 
which 20 occur upon the first to sixth, 22 upon the seventh to ninth, 
and 24 upon the penultimate turn. These ribs extend prominently 
from the summit to the periphery of the whorls, but do not cross the 
latter. Intercostal spaces very narrow, not more than half the width 
of the ribs; anterior half between the sutures marked by five equal 
and equally spaced spiral grooves; posterior half marked by two 
which equal those on the anterior half in strength, but are a little

more distantly spaced, and six fine incised lines which divide the 
space posterior to the last groove. Sutures somewhat constricted. 
Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base short, well rounded, 
marked by nine slender incised spiral lines, which are successively a 
little closer spaced from the periphery to the umbilical region. 
Aperture rhomboid; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing 
the external markings within; columella slender, somewhat curved 
and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 160067 U.S.N.M.) was dredged by Mr. F. W. 
Kelsey in twenty fathoms off San Diego. It has eleven post-nuclear 
whorls and measures: Length 12.3 mm., diameter 1.6 mm.

Shell elongate-conic, yellowish-white. Nuclear whorls decollated. 
Post-nuclear whorls moderately well rounded, ornamented by rather 
weak, slightly protractive, axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the first 
four of the remaining turns and 18 upon the rest. Intercostal spaces 
shallow, double the width of the ribs, marked by two lines of pits, one 
of which is at the periphery, the other a little posterior to the middle 
of the whorls and a series of finer incised lines of which seven irreg- 
ularly spaced ones occur between the two rows of pits and four 
between the upper row of pitsand the summit. Sutures well impressed. 
Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base short, well rounded, 
marked by several well incised spiral striations. Aperture subquad- 
rate; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, strongly bent at its 
anterior margin; columella short, twisted and slightly revolute.

Plate 9, fig. 9. 


Shell very robust, chestnut brown. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) 
Post-nuclear whorls flattened, moderately shouldered at the summit 
and scarcely at all contracted at the sutures, marked by rather 
irregular, low, rounded, variously slanting axial ribs which are 
completely eroded on the first four whorls, on the fifth and sixth 
there are 24, on the seventh and the penultimate there are 38. Inter- 
costal spaces a little narrower than the ribs, marked by four spiral 
series of broad strongly impressed spiral pits, on the anterior two- 
thirds of the whorls between the sutures; the posterior third is marked 
by two closely spaced, well incised, strong spiral lines, the first of 
which is about as far posterior to the neighboring pit as the space 
which separates that from its fellow. Both spiral pits and lines cut 
strongly into the sides of the ribs and pass feebly over their summits, 
rendering them somewhat tuberculate. Sutures well impressed. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by a plain band, well rounded.

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) SIGN, new species. 
Plate 7, fig. 1. 


Shell elongate-conic, of very regular outline, wax yellow, variegated 
with ashy. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear whorls very 
flat, with appressed summits, scarcely at all contracted at the periph- 
ery, marked by low, rounded, slightly sinuous, somewhat protractive 
axial ribs, of which 22 occur upon the second, 24 upon the third, 26 
upon the fourth, 28 upon the fifth, 30 upon the sixth, 36 upon the 
seventh, 46 upon the eighth, and, of those remaining, the same num- 
ber upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces about half as 
wide as the ribs, marked by six equal and equally spaced spiral rows 
of pits, the last of which is at a little greater distance from the summit 
than its fellow. Sutures very faintly indicated. Periphery of the 
last whorl somewhat angulated. Base short, well rounded, marked 
by about a dozen fine, wavy, equal and equally spaced spiral lines. 
Aperture rhomboidal; outer lip thick; columella moderately strong, 
slightly sinuous and somewhat reflected. 

The type (Cat. no. 160210, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Mr. Roper 
at San Pedro, California. It has lost the nucleus and probably the 
first three post-nuclear whorls. The ten remaining measure: Length 
10.2 mm., diameter 2.7 mm.

Plate 7, figs. 8, 8a. 
Chemmnitzia striosa C. B. ApAms, Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist. of N. Y., 1852, p. 393. 


Shell elongate-conic, wax yellow, nuclear whorls at least two, 
forming a planorboid spire, the axis of which is at right angles to 
that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-third 
immersed. Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded, feebly shoul- 
dered at the summit, very shghtly contracted at the sutures, marked 
by poorly developed axial ribs which are scarcely at all expressed 
on the first two whorls, and become decidedly weakened and irregu- 
lar on the last. Of these ribs there are 24 upon the third to fifth, 26 
upon the sixth, and 28 on the seventh whorl. Intercostal spaces as 
irregular as the ribs and usually a little wider, marked by six equally 
strong, and equally spaced, incised spiral lines, which become quite 
irregular on the last whorl. Sutures well impressed. Periphery 
and base of the last whorl well rounded, the latter marked by six 
equally strong incised spiral lines. Aperture moderately large, oval; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella 
slender, twisted and slightly revolute. 

Professor Adams’s type, which has served for our description and 
figure, is in the Amherst College collection and comes from Panama. 
It has nine post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 5.4 mm., 
diameter 1.5 mm.

1907, pp. 505, 506, pl. 45, figs. 1, la. 

Shell broadly elongate-conic, the posterior third of the exposed 
portion of the whorls on the spire and a narrow area about the 
umbilical region flesh-colored, the rest of the shell light chestnut 
brown. Nuclear whorls two and one-half, small, smooth, forming a 
depressed helicoid spire which has its axis at right angles to the axis 
of the succeeding turns and is about one-fifth immersed in the first of 
them. Exposed portion of the post-nuclear whorls flattened in the 
middle, posterior fourth sloping gently toward the summit, which is 
closely appressed to the preceding turn; the anterior portion slopes 
more abruptly, roundly toward the periphery. The whorls are orna- 
mented by strong rather distantly spaced, moderately acute, slightly 
protractive axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon the first three, 16 on the 
next three, 18 on the seventh, and 20 upon the penultimate turn. 
The ribs weaken slightly and become somewhat flattened as they 
approach the constricted sutures. Intercostal spaces broad, almost 
double the width of the ribs, crossed by 7, equal and equally spaced, 
deeply incised spiral lines, which extend up on the sides of the ribs and 
feebly across them. The space between the second and third lines 
appears slightly nodulose on the ribs. Periphery of the last turn 
angulated, crossed by the continuations of the ribs, which disappear 
as they pass on to the short and well-rounded base. Base marked by 
13 continuous incised spiral lines of about equal strength which are 
much more closely spaced near the umbilicus than the periphery, the 
distance between the succeeding striations diminishing in regular 
ratio from the periphery to the umbilical area, the first two below the 
periphery being considerably more distantly spaced than the rest, the 
spaces Inclosed between them being about equal to the space inclosed 
between the spiral lines on the spire. Aperture subquadrate, posterior 
angle acute, outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; 
columella slender, oblique, somewhat twisted and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 173081, U.S.N.M.) has nine post-nuclear whorls 
and measures: Length 6.4 mm., diameter 2 mm. It was collected 
by Mr. H. N. Lowe at Long Beach, California. Another specimen is 
in the collection of the University of California from station 122, near 
Redondo. Another (Cat. no. 176622, U.S.N.M.) was dredged by 
Mr. John Paine in 8 fathoms off Catalina Island. Five (Cat. no. 
196230, U.S.N.M.) were collected by Mr. H. N. Lowe at San Diego, 
and four additional specimens from the same locality are in Mr. 
Lowe’s collection. One, collected at station 83, off San Diego, is in 
the collection of the University of California. 

This species is nearest related to Turbonilla (Pyrgiscus) latifundia 
Dall and Bartsch, from the post-Pliocene of San Pedro, California.

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) WELDI, new species. 


Plate 8, fig. 11. 


Shell large, chestnut brown with a broad peripheral light band, 
and a light area about the columella. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) 
Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, somewhat overhanging, strongly 
contracted at the suture, appressed at the summit, marked by moder- 
ately strong, rounded, slightly retractive axial ribs, of which 24 
occur upon the third to fifth, 28 upon the sixth, and about 35 upon 
the penultimate turn, upon which they are less regular than on the 
others. Intercostal spaces a little wider than the ribs, marked by 
eight broad, deep spiral series of pits which are subequal, excepting 
the three above the peripheral one, the median one of which is much 
narrower than the rest. Sutures strongly constricted. Periphery 
and base of the last whorl inflated, well rounded, marked by the 
feeble continuations of the axial ribs, a broad line of pits immediately 
below the periphery, and seven equal and equally spacéd, broad, well 
incised spiral lines. Aperture large, broadly oval, posterior angle 
acute; outer lip very strongly curved, thin, showing the external 
markings within; columella slender, twisted, curved and_ slightly 
revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 206868, U.S.N.M.) was dredged by the Uni- 
versity of California at station 14, off Pomt Fermin, California. It 
has lost the nucleus and probably the first post-nuclear whorl. The 
eight remaining whorls measure: Length 8.8 mm., diameter 2.7 mm. 

Named for Prof. Laenas G. Weld. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) NEREIA, new species. 


Plate 8, figs. 1, la. 


Shell broadly conic, pale yellow, with a broad dark wax yellow 
band, which extends over a little more than one-half the distance 
from the middle of the whorls to the summit, between the sutures. 
A secondary of the same color extends from a little posterior to the 
periphery to the middle of the base. Nuclear whorls small, two and 
one-half, forming a depressed helicoid spire, the axis of which is at 
right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which they 
are very slightly immersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened in the 
middle, slightly rounded at the summit and at the periphery, orna- 
mented by well rounded, strong, almost vertical axial ribs, which 
become weakened toward the summit. These ribs are scarcely 
indicated on the first and second whorls, upon the third and fourth 
there are 20, upon the remaining (excepting the penultimate whorl 
which has 20) there are 18. Intercostal spaces about double as wide 
as the ribs, marked by nine spiral series of pits, all of which pass 
strongly upon the sides of the ribs, but do not cross their summits. 


WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 87 


Of these pits the peripheral one and the three anterior to the one at 
the summit are stronger than the rest; the space separated by the 
second and third below the summit is a little wider than the rest, and 
the pits biting in the ribs render these somewhat nodulose at this 
place. Sutures well impressed. Periphery of the last whorl well 
rounded. Base moderately long, well rounded, marked by the 
continuations of the axial ribs which extend feebly to the umbilical 
region, and about eight weakly incised spiral lines, those nearest the 
periphery being somewhat interrupted by the ribs. Aperture sub- 
oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external 
markings within; columella slender, slightly twisted and very 
oblique. 

The type (Cat. no. 206869, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Diego. It 
has ten post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 5.8 mm., diameter 
1.7 mm. Cat. no. 163260, U.S.N.M., contains another specimen, 
collected by Mrs. Oldroyd at San Pedro, California.

Turbonilla (Pyrgiscus) antestriata Datu and Bartscu, Proc. U. 8S. Nat. Mus., 
vol. 33, 1907, pp. 506, 507, pl. 45, figs. 4, 4a. 

Shell large and strong, light brown. Nuclear whorls two and 
one-half, small, smooth, forming a depressed rounded helicoid spire, 
which projects somewhat beyond the left side of the outline of the 
spire of the later whorls and has its axis at a right angle to the axis 
of these, being about one-fourth immersed in the first turn. Post- 
nuclear whorls slightly rounded, ornamented by low, rounded, 
narrow, vertical axial ribs which become decidedly flattened and 
enfeebled near the summit of the turns; there are 9 of these ribs on 
the second, 20 upon the fifth, and 28 upon the penultimate post- 
nuclear turns. Intercostal spaces about double the width of the ribs, 
shallow, rounded, crossed by 6 equal and equally spaced, strongly 
incised, spiral lines which extend stronger upon the sides of the ribs 
and feebly over their summits. In addition to this sculpture, the 
spire is marked by many fine lines of growth and many fine spiral 
striations between the incised lines. Sutures well marked, simple. 
Periphery of the last whorl subangulated, marked by the feeble con- 
tinuations of the axial ribs, which disappear at the periphery. Base 
short, marked by 11 continuous, equal, strong, incised spiral lines 
which are more closely spaced above the umbilical area than at the 
periphery; the space between the first basal incised line and the first 
supraperipheral one being a little wider than the space inclosed 
between the spiral lines on the spire. Aperture subquadrate, outer 
lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella almost 
straight and vertical, slightly revolute.

The above description is based upon two cotypes. One, an adult 
shell (Cat. no. 168867, U.S.N.M.), has the last 10 whorls, having lost 
the nucleus and probably the first two and one-half post-nuclear 
turns, and measures: Length 9.7 mm., diameter 2.8 mm. It was 
dredged by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross at station 
3194 in 92 fathoms, on gray sand, bottom temperature 45°.9, off 
Esteros Bay, California. The other (Cat. no. 196232, U.S.N.M.) was 
collected by Mrs. Oldroyd at San Pedro, California, and has the 
nucleus and 9 post-nuclear turns, and measures: Length 5.5 mm., 
diameter 1.8mm. Three specimens (Cat. no. 196233, U.S.N.M.) were 
dredged by the Fisheries steamer Albatross at station 2902 in 53 
fathoms, fine gray sand and mud bottom, temperature 45°, off Santa 
Rosa Island. One in the collection of the University of California 
comes from station 122, near Redondo; another in the same institu- 
tion was dredged at station 12, off Point Vincent. Two (Cat. no. 
196231, U.S.N.M.) were dredged in 12 fathoms at San Pedro by Mr. 
H. N. Lowe. Another specimen was dredged by the University of 
California at station 30, off Catalina Island, and two at station 58, 
off San Diego, California, the last two lots being in the University 
collection. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) ANTEMUNDA, new species. 
Plate 8, figs. 15, 15a. 


Shell broadly conic, milk-white with a moderately broad pale yellow 
band at the periphery and another at the middle of the whorls between 
the sutures of the same width. Nuclear whorls two and three-fourths, | 
helicoid, having its axis at right angles to that of the succeeding 
turns, in the first of which it is about one-third immersed. Post- 
nuclear whorls moderately rounded, appressed at the summit, 
strongly contracted at the periphery, somewhat overhanging, orna- 
mented by well-developed, narrow axial ribs, which become decidedly 
enfeebled toward the summit. Of these there are 16 upon the first 
to fourth, 18 upon the fifth to seventh, 20 upon the eighth, 22 upon 
the ninth and penultimate whorl. Intercostal spaces about two and 
one-half times as wide as the ribs, ornamented with a double series 
of spiral markings, the first of which consists of seven strongly incised 
and subequally spaced pits between the sutures, the third and fourth 
of which above the periphery bound the color band and are a little 
closer spaced than the rest. The first one below the summit passes 
over the axial ribs and gives them a truncated appearance; the others 
pass up on the sides of the ribs but do not cross them. The second 
series of spiral markings consist of very fine lines, of which three 
occur between the peripheral series of pits and the second two occur 
between the second and third, one between the fourth and fifth, 
two between the sixth and seventh. In addition to this sculpture 


WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 89 


there are many microscopic lines of growth and microscopic spiral 
striations. Sutures well marked. Periphery of the last whorl some- 
what angulated, marked by the feeble extensions of the axial ribs. 
Base short, well rounded, smooth, excepting the fine lines of growth 
and exceedingly fine, weakly incised spiral striations, among which 
about nine equal and equally spaced are a trifle stronger than the 
rest. Aperture rhomboid; outer lip thin, showing the external sculp- 
ture within; columella moderately strong and slightly revolute. 

The above description is based on two cotypes (Cat. no. 168866, 
U.S.N.M.). This has furnished the description of the adult shell. 
It has lost the nucleus and first post-nuclear whorl. The ten remain- 
ing measure: Length 6.9 mm., diameter 2.2 mm. The other is 
a young individual and has served for the description of the nucleus 
and first post-nuclear whorl. These were dredged at U. S. Bureau 
of Fisheries, station 2901, off Santa Rosa Island, California.

Chemnitzia flavescens CARPENTER, Cat. Maz. Shells, 1856, p. 432. 


Shell slender, yellowish. Nuclear whorls two and one-half, form- 
ing a helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the suc- 
ceeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-fourth immersed. 
Post-nuclear whorls at. first well rounded, later flattened, marked 
by slender, somewhat curved, almost vertical axial ribs, of which 
18 occur upon the first, 20 upon the second, 22 upon the third and 
remaining whorls. Intercostal spaces about twice as wide as the 
ribs, marked by numerous fine, closely spaced spiral striations. 
Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, marked by the 
feeble continuations of the axial ribs, and many fine spiral striations. 
Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; columella slen- 
der, strongly curved. 

The single specimen of this shell known is on tablet 2003, Havre 
collection, British Museum, and was taken from a specimen of Spon- 
dylus calcifer at Mazatlan, Mexico. It has six post-nuclear whorls, 
the aperture being badly broken, and measures: Length 2.75 mm., 
diameter 0.8 mm. ;

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) MACBRIDEI, new species. 
Plate 8, figs. 13, 13a. 


Shell exceedingly slender, light yellow, with a broader darker yellow 
band immediately below the summit and another halfway between 
this and the suture. Nuclear whorls large, one and three-fourths, 
forming a depressed helicoid spire, the axis of which is at right angles 
to that of the succeeding turns, on the first of which it rests, but is not 
immersed. Post-nuclear whorlsexceedingly high between the sutures, 
moderately rounded, marked by slender, very regular, slightly curved, 
well rounded, somewhat retractive axial ribs, of which 24 occur upon - 
the first, 22 upon the second and third, 24 upon the fourth and fifth, 
26 upon the sixth and seventh, and about 32 upon the penultimate 
whorl. Intercostal spaces about as wide as the ribs, well impressed, 
marked by fifteen equal and equally spaced spiral series of pits, which 
owing to the narrowness of the intercostal spaces, appear as mere 
punctations. Sutures well marked. Periphery of the last whorl 
without spiral sculpture. Base moderately long, marked by the con- 
tinuations of the axial ribs, and six equal and equally spaced spiral 
striations on its anterior two-thirds. Aperture oval; posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; colu- 
mella slender, decidedly flexuose, and very slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 191563 U.S.N.M.) of this exceedingly slender 
shell comes from U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, station 2826, in 94 fathoms, 
off La Paz, Lower California. It has nine post-nuclear whorls, and 
measures: Length 4 mm., diameter 0.8 mm.

is left unmarked. Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, 
marked by the feeble continuations of the axial ribs and numerous 
exceedingly fine, closely spaced, wavy, spiral striations. Aperture 
small, rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing 
the external sculpture within; columella strong, straight, and revo- 
lute.

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) MACRA, new species. 
Plate 8, figs. 10, 10a. 


Shell very small, subcylindric in the middle, tapering rapidly at the 
apex, early whorls wax-yellow, later ones white, with a very broad, 
wax-yellow band at the periphery, which extends above the sutures 
and on the base. Nuclear whorls very small, at least two, forming a 
depressed helicoid spire, which is obliquely half immersed in the first 
of the succeeding turns. Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded at 
first, later flattened, ornamented by almost straight, vertical, slender, 
well-developed axial ribs, of which there are 22 upon the first, 24 upon 
the second to fifth, and 25 upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal 
spaces about as wide as the ribs, marked by five equal but not equally 
spaced series of spiral pits. The first four of these above the periph- 
ery are equally spaced; the fifth is a little nearer to the summit of 
the whorl than its neighbor. Sutures well impressed. Periphery of 
the last whorl well rounded, marked by the feeble continuations of the 
axial ribs. Base of the last whorl prolonged, well rounded, marked 
by six equally spaced and equally strongly incised spiral lines. Aper- 
ture ovate; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external 
markings within; columella moderately strong, reénforced by the base, 
provided with a weak fold at its insertion; parietal wall covered with

“Shell small, elongated, lanceolate, turrited, rather solid, shining, 
wax yellow, a little dusky below the suture; whorls 10, flat, slightly 
shouldered above, marked by about 20 direct, longitudinal folds, the 
summits of which are cut by numerous fine revolving striw, deeper 
in the interstices, which also extend over the base of the shell, though 
the folds terminate at the periphery, or are extended in delicate fur- 
rows; aperture narrow, ovate; lip sharp; revolving striz apparent 
within. 

Dimensions.—Length 7.5 mm.; diameter 1.3 mm. 

Found at Santa Barbara.”’ 

The above is the original description by Gould. Turbonalla (Pyr- 
giscus) tenuicula Gould is the most abundant and most variable species 
of all the west American forms, presenting many varieties or incipient 
species; to describe these would not aid science or the collector, but 
would only add to the confusion which this paper is intended to dispel. 
The following comprehensive description will embrace, we believe, 
all the forms coming under this name: 

Shell slender to somewhat stubby and inflated, varying in color from milk-white 
to waxy yellow or to dark brown, variously banded or plain monocolored; nuclear 
whorls three, moderately large, planorboid, slightly slantingly immersed; post- 
nuclear whorls rounded to flattened, contracted at base and strongly shouldered at 
the summit, traversed by 18 to 28 strong vertical ribs, which are excurved and 
usually somewhat thickened, and connected at their summits, which appear beaded; 
these ribs extend feebly over the rounded base of the last whorl; the entire shell is 
crossed by incised spiral lines, 10 to 16 or more of which appear on the exposed por- 
tion of the whorls, and more, closer placed, wavy ones on the base of the last whorl; 
the suture is deep, subchanneled and wavy; aperture ovate, produced at base; outer 
lip thin, meeting the oblique, slightly curved and revolute columella in a broad 


curve; a faint callus connects the posterior angle of the aperture with the insertion 
of the columella. 


WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 93 


The specimen figured is from Todos Santos Bay, Lower California, 
has 9 post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 6.5 mm., diameter 
1.9 mm. Figures 12 and 12a represent the forms described by 
Carpenter as crebrifilata and figures 14 and 14a that named subcus- 
pidata by the same author. Figure 3 shows an extreme variant.

Chemnitzia virgo CARPENTER, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 3d ser., vol. 15, 1865, p. 396. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls small, two, form- 
ing a depressed helicoid spire, the axis of which is almost at right 
angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about 
one-fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded, 
slightly shouldered at the summit, weakly contracted at the periphery, 
ornamented by slender, sinuous protractive axial ribs, of which 24 
occur upon the first and second, 22 upon the third, 20 upon the fourth 
to sixth, 22 upon the seventh and penultimate turn. Intercostal 
spaces about one and one-half times as wide as the ribs, well impressed, 
marked by six strongly impressed series of pits which extend up on

the sides of the ribs but do not cross them; the peripheral and the 
third posterior to this are of equal strength and stronger than the rest. 
The space between the third and fourth above the perihery is a little 
wider than that between the others, which are about equally spaced. 
The space between the summit and the first spiral line below it is 
about equal to about double the space included between the other 
spirals. A finely incised line divides it into equal areas. Sutures 
strongly impressed, rendered wavy by the ribs. Periphery well 
rounded, marked by the feeble continuations of the axial ribs and a 
few distantly spaced spiral striations. Aperture oval; posterior angle 
obtuse; outer lip thin, columella moderately strong, sinuous and 
slightly reflected. 

The type (Cat. no. 73993 U.S.N.M.) was collected by Dr. R. E. C. 
Stearns at Santa Barbara, California. It has nine post-nuclear 
whorls and measures: Length 4.8 mm., diameter 1.3 mm.

Shell very small, slender, light yellow, with a darker band imme- 
diately posterior to the periphery, and another slender one about 
halfway between the middle of the space between the sutures and the 
summit. Nuclear whorls depressed, helicoid, two and one-half, hav- 
ing their axis at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the 
first of which they are about one-fifth immersed. Post-nuclear 
whorls high between the sutures, flattened in the middle, gently 
rounded at the periphery and the summit, marked by slender, retract- 
ive axial ribs, of which 22 occur upon the first and second, 24 upon 
the third to fifth, 26 upon the sixth, and 24 upon the penultimate 
turn. Intercostal spaces a little wider than the ribs, moderately 
well impressed, marked by seven strong subequal series of pits 
between the periphery and the subsutural color band, and three fine 
incised lines posterior to this. Periphery of last whorl well rounded. 
Base moderately long, marked by the feeble continuations of the 
axial ribs and five subequal, equally spaced spiral striations. Aper- 
ture ovoid; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the ex- 
ternal sculpture within; columella very oblique, curved, twisted, and 
slightly revolute. 

The type and another specimen (Cat. no. 163262, U.S.N.M.) were 
dredged at U. S.-Bureau of Fisheries station 2822, in 21 fathoms, off 
La Paz, Lower California. The type has eight post-nuclear whorls

angles to the axis of the succeeding turn; not immersed and extend- 
ing slightly beyond the outline of the spire on both sides. Post- 
nuclear whorls very slightly rounded, weakly roundly shouldered at 
the summit and very moderately contracted at the periphery, orna- 
mented by very strong, broad, low, rounded, almost vertical axial 
ribs of which there are 22 upon the first, 24 upon the antepenultimate, 
and 28 upon the penultimate turn. These ribs extend prominently 
to the summit and crenulate the subchanneled sutures. Intercostal 
spaces narrow, not more than half the width of the ribs, crossed by 19 
incised spiral lines which are of almost equal width and subequally 
spaced with the following exceptions, the seventh, eleventh, and the 
last three above the periphery are much wider, appearing as quad- 
rangular pits in the intercostal spaces, the eleventh falling on about 
the middle of the exposed portion of the whorl on the spire, and the 
seventh about halfway between this and the summit. Periphery and 
base of the last whorl well rounded, the latter marked by the feeble 
continuations of the axial ribs which gradually disappear after cross- 
ing the periphery, and about 16 subequally spaced incised spiral lines. 
Aperture oval, somewhat effuse anteriorly, columella oblique, some- 
what twisted, with a weak oblique fold a little anterior to its insertion.

whorls moderately rounded, widest a little above the suture, sloping 
gently toward the summit and more abruptly toward the base, orna- 
mented by moderately strong, rounded, somewhat flexuous, axial 
ribs, of which about 18 appear upon the second, 20 upon the seventh, 
22 upon the eighth, and 27 upon the penultimate whorl. Intercostal 
spaces only moderately deep, a little wider than the ribs, marked by 
6 strong incised spiral lines which extend up on the sides of the ribs 
and frequently pass over their summits; the uppermost or posterior 
one of these incised lines is least pronounced, the second one above 
the suture, and the third one about half again as far apart as the 
remaining, which are equally spaced. In addition to these the shell 
is marked by many faint wavy spiral striations between the deep 
ones. Sutures plain, well defined. Base of the last whorl very 
short, well rounded, marked by the faint continuations of the axial 
ribs and about 15 well defined more or less equally spaced deep spiral 
striations with fainter ones between them as on the exposed portion 
of the whorls of the spire; the first deep basal spiral striation and the 
one above the suture are some little distance apart and mark a plain 
band excepting the fainter sculpture. Aperture quite large, sub- 
quadrate; columella short, somewhat twisted, revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 162679, U.S.N.M.) was dredged by the U. S. 
Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross at station 2902, off Santa 
Barbara, California, in 53 fathoms. It has 12 post-nuclear whorls 
which measure: Length 11.2 mm., diameter 2.8 mm.

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) HALIDOMA, new species. 
Plate 9, figs. 6, 6a. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls small, two and 
one-fourth, forming a moderately elevated spire whose axis is at 
right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is 
about one-fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened in the 
middle, with a sloping shoulder that extends over the posterior 
fourth between the sutures and renders the whorls slightly angulated 
at their anterior margin; weakly contracted at the suture, marked 
by moderately strong, well rounded, low, retractive axial ribs, of 
~which 24 occur upon the first, 26 upon the second and third, and 24 
upon the remaining turns. Intercostal spaces a little more than

double the width of the ribs, marked by pits and incised spiral lines. 
Of these the one at the periphery and the one at the anterior termina- 
tion of the posterior third between the sutures are of equal width, 
and much wider than the rest; two other pits a little less strong 
divide the space between the two strong pits into three segments, 
the middle one of which is a trifle wider than the other two which are 
equal. The three areas are again divided by finer lines, the first 
above the periphery being crossed by one, the next by three and the 
third by two fine striations. The space between the summit and 
the deep series of pits anterior to it is crossed by four incised and 
wavy, exceedingly fine spiral lines. Periphery of the last whorl 
well rounded, marked by the feeble extensions of the axial ribs 
which disappear shortly after crossing it. Base well rounded, 
marked by twenty-two well incised subequal and subequally spaced 
spiral lines. Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, 
showing the external sculpture within; columella slender, twisted 
and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 162693, U.S.N.M.) was dredged at U. S. Bureau 
of Fisheries station 2822 in 21 fathoms, off La Paz, Lower California.

the spire, their axis home at a right angle to the axis of the later 
whorls; post-nuclear whorls at first cee rounded, later flattened, 
marked by well-developed, rather strong, retractive axial ribs, of 
which 16 appear upon the third and fourth, 18 upon the fifth to eighth, 
20 upon the ninth, 22 upon the tenth, and 30 upon the pom iteee 
turn. Intercostal spaces a little wider than the ribs on all but the 
penultimate whorl; on this they are somewhat narrower, crossed be- 
tween the sutures by nine subequally spaced, almost equally strong, 
spiral lines of pits, which pass up on the sides of the ribs but do not 
cross their summit. Periphery and base of last whorl inflated, well 
rounded, marked by the continuations of the axial ribs, which extend 
almost undiminished to the umbilical area and eight equally strong 
and almost equally spaced, well-incised spiral lines. Aperture ovate;

Turbonilla (Pyrgiscus) castanella Dau, Nautilus, vol. 22, 1908, p. 131.= Turbo- 
nilla (Pyrgiscus) castanea Datu and Bartscu, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., vol. 33, 
1907, pp. 509, 510, pl. 47, fig. 7; not Chemnitzia castanea Kerr, West Coast 
shells, 1888, p. 5, fig. 33. 

Shell very large, stout and heavy, chestnut brown. Nuclear whorls 
decollated. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, ornamented by many 
broad, flattened, more or less regular and evenly placed retractive 
axial ribs, of which about 22 appear upon the third, 26 upon the 
fifth, and 40 upon the seventh whorl. On the penultimate and ante- 
penultimate whorls they are more or less irregular in form, number, 
and spacing. Intercostal spaces much narrower than the ribs. The 
spiral sculpture consists of eight deep, quite regularly spaced lines 
of pits, which are very pronounced in the intercostal spaces and on 
the sides of the ribs, but do not appear to cross their summits except 
on the penultimate and the last whorl. Sutures well defined, simple. 
Periphery and base of the last whorl evenly rounded, the latter orna- 
mented by the prolongation of the axial ribs and quite a number of 
continuous well-impressed spiral lines with faint spiral striation 
between them. Aperture suboval, somewhat effuse anteriorly, pos- 
terior angle obtuse (outer lip fractured, very thick) ; columella strong, 
slightly curved, and strongly revolute, with a weak, very oblique 
internal fold near its insertion; parietal wall and umbilical region 
covered by a weak callus. Columella and extreme anterior portion 
of the aperture white. 

The type (Cat. no. 74000, U.S.N.M.) belongs }to the Stearns collec- 
tion and was obtained at Monterey, California. It has 10 post- 
nuclear whorls (the nucleus and perhaps the first three being lost), 
and measures: Length 13.5 mm., diameter 3.7 mm. 

This species is remarkable for being the largest known member of 
the section Pyrgiscus on the west coast of America.

spaced, raised threads, the posterior one of which forms quite a cord 
at the summit of the whorls; this is followed by a rather wide pit; 
then two closely spaced, raised threads; another pit equal to the 
first; then six very fine closely spaced threads; a third pit equal to 
the others; two strong threads, followed by a peripheral pit. 
Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base rather prolonged, 
well rounded, marked by the continuation of the axial ribs, which 
extend to the umbilical area and eight spiral threads. Aperture 
oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; columella slightly curved; 
parietal wall covered by a faint callus. 

Two specimens were obtained off Spondylus, at Mazatlan, Mexico, 
one a young individual, the other an adult; the latter is on tablet 
1986, Liverpool collection, British Museum. It has eight  post- 
nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 3.8 mm., diameter 1.2 mm. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) CORA D’Orbigny. 
Chemnitzia cora D’OrBiGNy, Voy. Am. Mérid., vol. 5, 1847, p. 398, pl. 76, figs. 7-9. 


“Shell elongate-conic, thick, ornamented longitudinally by very 
deep folds, between which are fine, regular spiral striations, among 
which four are deeper, three of which reproduce themselves in very 
regular manner on all the whorls. Nucleus very large, oblong; spire 
elongate-conic, composed of eight flattened whorls which are sepa- 
rated by a very marked suture; aperture oval; lip thin; color white. 
Long. 5 mm., diam. 1.5 mm.” 

To the above diagnosis he adds: ‘‘Ornamented with ribs and trans- 
verse strie, like C. ornata, this is larger in proportion, and is remark- 
able in that four of the striz are more profoundly traced than the 
others and reproduce themselves on all the whorls of the spire.”’ 

It inhabits the coast of Peru near Payta. We have not seen any 
specimens belonging to this species, and have translated the above 
from the original description by D’ Orbigny. 

The figures referred to do not depict the specimen described. 
They represent a short, stout individual having six post-nuclear 
whorls of a light brown color, with about 12 strong axial ribs on the 
first, 18 on the fourth, and 20 on the penultimate whorl; and instead 
of four (three between the sutures) spiral lines the figure shows 
seven between the sutures:and about an equal number on the base. 
D’Orbigny carefully points out that C. cora has only three strong 
spiral lines visible between the sutures, and compares it with C. ornata. 
We therefore are inclined to believe that some mistake has been made 
in the figures. The wrong specimen may have been figured or the 
artist may have figured C. cora wrongly.

Turbonilla craticulata Morcu, Malak. Blatt., vol. 6, 1859, p. 119. 


Shell elongate-conic, brown. Nuclear whorls one and one-third, 
forming a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to 
that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-fifth 
immersed. Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded, slightly con- 
tracted at the periphery, and weakly shouldered at the summit; 
marked by moderately strong, straight, very regular, almost vertical 
axial ribs, of which 14 occur upon the first to third, 16 upon the third 
to sixth, 18 upon the seventh to ninth, and 22 upon the penultimate 
turn. Intercostal spaces a little wider than the ribs, marked by 
seven series of pits, which are a little wider than the raised spaces 
that separate them. The third of these pits anterior to the summit 
is a little stronger than the rest; the remainder are of equal strength 
and spacing. Sutures well impressed. Periphery and base of the 
last whorl well rounded, marked by the feeble continuations of the 
axial ribs. The base is marked by incised spiral lines, the first two 
anterior to the periphery being similar in character to those between 
the sutures; the rest are successively finer from the periphery to 
the umbilical region. Aperture ovate, somewhat effuse anteriorly, 
posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture 
within; columella oblique, slightly curved, and very strongly revo- 
lute, provided with a strong oblique fold a little anterior to its Inser- 
tion; parietal wall covered by a thin callus.

which pass up on the sides of the ribs, but do not cross their summits. 
Sutures well impressed. Periphery and base of the last whorl well 
rounded, marked by the continuations of the axial ribs, which extend 
to the umbilicus. The base has in addition a series of spiral striations, 
the first of which below the periphery is interrupted like those are 
between the sutures, separated by a little greater distance from the 
first one posterior to the periphery than that is from its neighbor 
posterior to it; the remaining are more or less continuous, less strong, 
wavy, and more closely spaced. Aperture suboval; posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin; columella twisted and revolute; parietal wall 
covered with a thin callus. 

The specimen described and figured is Doctor Mérch’s type and is

Turbonilla cinctella MOrcu, Malak. Blatt., vol. 6, 1859, p. 119. 


Shell broadly elongate-conic, milk-white, with a faint broad 
yellowish band on the middle of the space between the sutures, a 
second narrow one at the periphery, a third at the insertion of the 
columella. Nuclear whorls two and one-half, forming a depressed 
helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding 
turns, in the first of which it is about one-third immersed. Post- 
nuclear whorls extremely regular, well rounded, appressed at the 
summit, somewhat contracted at the suture, marked by slender, 
somewhat sinuous, almost vertical axial ribs, of which 20 occur upon 
the first and pecan? 22 upon the third, 24 upon the fourth and fifth, 
and 26 upon the remaining turns. iatrereocrel spaces twice as wide 
as the ribs, marked by a series of moderately strong pits at the periph- 
ery and a second about half as broad, a little posterior to the middle 
of the whorls. In addition to these pits the intercostal spaces are 
marked by 28 slender, equally spaced and equally strong, incised 
spiral lines, 16 of which occur between the periphery and uae median 
pit, and 12 between this and the summit. Sutures well impressed. 
Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, the latter marked 
by the continuation of the axial ribs, which extend feebly to the 
umbilical area, and slender spiral striations, which are stronger and 
more distantly spaced than those on the spire, growing successively 
weaker from the periphery to the columella. Aperture oval; posterior 
angle acute; out lip thin, showing the external markings within; 
columella almost straight, slightly revolute. 

The type which has served us for our description and figure has 
nine post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 5 mm. diameter 
1.6mm. It was collected by Dr. A. S. Oersted at Sonsonate, Guate- 
mala, and is in the museum in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Shell robust, pale brown. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) Post- 


nuclear whorls flattened, slightly exerted at the summit, where they 
are moderately squarely shouldered, marked by -well developed, 


WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 109 


rounded, slightly retractive, axial ribs, of which 20 occur upon the 
second and third, 22 upon the fourth and fifth, 24 upon the sixth of 
the remaining turns, and 28 upon the penultimate whorl. Inter- 
costal spaces equaling the ribs, crossed by a double series of spiral 
pits, five are strong and of equal strength, one of which is at the 
periphery, the other a little posterior to it, the third occupies the 
middle of the space between the sutures, while the other two divide 
the space posterior to this into three equal areas. The fine lines are 
arranged in the following manner: Between the second and third 
supra-peripheral pit, two fine lines; between the third and fourth, one; 
between the fourth and fifth, one; between the fifth and summit, two. 
Sutures well impressed, rendered sinuous by the ribs. Periphery of 
the last whorl marked by a broad band, crossed by the extensions of 
the axial ribs, which continue feebly over the well-rounded base to the 
umbilical area. In addition to these ribs, the base is marked by 
eleven incised spiral lines, the three immediately below the periphery 
being somewhat interrupted, the remaining are equal and equally 
spaced. Aperture ovate; posterior angle acute; columella slender, 
somewhat curved and reflected, 

The type (Cat. no. 206880, U.S.N.M.) was collected at San Diego, 
California. It has lost the nucleus and probably the first post-nuclear 
whorl. The eight remaining measure: Length 5.7 mm., diameter 
1.7mm. 

TURBONILLA (PYRGISCUS) LARUNDA, new species. 


Plate 10, figs. 4, 4a, 46. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white, with a broad yellow band a little 
anterior to the middle of the whorls between the sutures. Nuclear 
whorls two, forming a depressed helicoid spire, which has its axis 
at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, upon the first of which 
it rests, but is not immersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened in the 
middle, rounded at the summit, quite strongly contracted at the 
suture, ornamented by narrow, sinuous, well developed, retractive 
axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the first to seventh, 18 upon the 
eighth to ninth, and 20 upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal 
spaces about three times as wide as the ribs, marked by eleven 
incised spiral lines, of which the three immediately below the summit 
and the one between the third and fourth above the periphery are 
finer than the rest, and the fourth and fifth below the summit and 
the peripheral one are of about equal width, and considerably stronger 
than the intervening four, which are subequal. Periphery of the last 
whorl well rounded. Base moderately long, well rounded, marked 
by the continuations of the axial ribs and seven strongly incised sub- 
equally spaced spiral lines, of which the three immediately below 
the periphery are somewhat interrupted and stronger than the rest.

1907, pp. 510, 511, pl. 45, figs. 7, 7a. 


Shell very large, light brown to pale yellowish-white, variously 
banded. Nuclear whorls two, smooth, helicoid, moderately elevated, 
having their axis at right angles to the axis of the succeeding turns 
and about one-fourth immersed in the first of them. Post-nuclear 
whorls well rounded, ornamented by heavy, broad, low axial ribs, of 
which about 14 occur upon the second, 16 upon the eighth, 22 upon 
the eleventh, and 30 upon the penultimate whorl. Intercostal spaces 
not deeply depressed, about as wide as the ribs, ornamented by about 
12 to 15 irregularly spaced spiral striations between the sutures; those 
near the summit of the whorls are closer and more feeble than those 
near the periphery of the whorls. Sutures strongly impressed, some- 
what wavy. Periphery of the last whorl somewhat angulated in 
young specimens, moderately well rounded in adults. Base rather 
short, marked by faint continuations of the axial ribs and faint wavy 
spiral striation. Aperture subrhombic, posterior angle obtuse, outer 
lip thin, showing the external sculpture and banding within; columella 
stout, slightly twisted and revolute, provided with an oblique internal 
fold. The color markings in the specimen here described and figured 
¢onsist of a pale yellowish-brown band, about a quarter of the width 
of the whorl between the sutures, covering the posterior part, fol- 
lowed by a narrow band of the yellowish-white ground color, which is 
followed by a band of brown a little darker than the first and about as 
wide as the last-named white band; then a broad pale white band, 
lastly a narrow pale yellow one above the periphery finishes the mark- 
ing between the sutures. The periphery is marked by a narrow band 
of white followed by a deep brown one which shades gradually to the 
white about the umbilical region. 

The characters which ally this species to Mormula are only feebly 
developed, now and then two ribs become fused and suggest a varix; 
the internal lirations, too, are only very feebly expressed and appear in 
the aperture of only one specimen. The specimen figured has 14 post- 
nuclear whorls and measures: Length 20.8 mm., diameter 5.1mm. It 
was collected in 12 fathoms at Sitka Harbor, Alaska, and is Cat. no. 
160492, U.S.N.M. No. 160069, U.S.N.M., contains 7 individuals 
from the same locality; no. 133234, U.S.N.M., has 2 from Port 
Orchard, Washington, and no. 4480, U.S.N.M., 1 from Puget Sound, 
Washington. Seven specimens were collected by Rev. G. W. Taylor 
at Banks Island, British Columbia. One of these, a young individual

diameter 2.1 mm. 
This is the largest species of this group known from the west coast 
of America. 
TURBONILLA (MORMULA) REGINA, new species. 


Plate fies 


Shell very large, elongate-conic, slender, pale chestnut. (Nuclear 
whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, appressed at 
the summit, moderately constricted at the periphery, marked at 
irregular intervals by strong varices and by very regularly narrow, 
low, rounded, slightly protractive axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon 
the first and second, 18 upon the third, 22 upon the fourth, 24 upon 
the fifth to seventh, 30 upon the eighth and ninth, 36 on the tenth, 40 
on the eleventh and the penultimate whorl. Intercostal spaces 
about one and one-half times as wide as the ribs, marked by 6 well 
incised spiral lines, which extend strongly upon the sides of the ribs 
and weakly over them; the space between these lines is marked by 
numerous exceedingly fine, spiral striations. Sutures constricted. 
Periphery of the last whorl slightly angulated, marked by an ineised 
spiral line. Base short, well rounded, marked by the feeble con- 
tinuations of the axial ribs and numerous very fine, closely spaced, 
wavy, spiral striations. Aperture rhomboidal; posterior angle 
obtuse; columella strong, almost straight, decidedly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 162686, U.S.N.M.) was dredged at U.S. Bureau 
of Fisheries station 2902 in 15 fathoms, temperature 45°, off Santa 
Rosa Island, California. It has 13 post-nuclear whorls, having lost 
the nucleus and probably the first post-nuclear whorl, and measures: 
Length 19.6 mm., diameter 5 mm.

TURBONILLA (MORMULA) CATALINENSIS, new species. 
Plate 11, figs. 10, 10a. 


Shell elongate-conic, very slender. Nuclear whorls two and one- 
half, forming a depressed, helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles 
to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one- 
fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, with appressed 
summits, moderately constricted at the sutures, marked at irregular 
intervals by strong varices; axial ribs somewhat sinuous, low, well 
rounded, weakening toward the summit; 16 upon the first, 18 upon 
the second to eighth, 24 upon the ninth and tenth, 26 upon the 
eleventh and twelfth, 28 upon the thirteenth and penultimate turn. 
Intercostal spaces as wide as the ribs, marked by nine equally spaced 
spiral lines, which pass up on the sides of the ribs, but do not cross 
their summits; space between the incised spiral lines is marked by 
exceedingly fine spiral striations. Periphery of last whorl well 
rounded. Base short, well rounded, marked by the feeble con- 
tinuations of the axial ribs, and seven well incised spiral striations. 
Aperture rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing 
the external markings within; as well as four color bands, one of 
which is at the periphery, another midway between the periphery 
and summit, the third at the summit, the fourth on the middle of 
the base; in addition to these bands there are four strong spiral 
folds, two on the base and two on the lip, which show deeply within 
the aperture; columella slender, somewhat twisted and_ shghtly 
revolute. 

The type and another specimen (Cat. no. 160147, U.S.N.M.) were 
dredged off Catalina Island. The type has 16 post-nuclear whorls 
and measures: Length 16.5 mm., diameter 4 mm. Two specimens 
were dredged by the University of California, at station 21 (3) off 
Catalina Island, California.

Turbonilla (Mormula) eschscholtzi Datu and Bartscu, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 
vol. 33, 1907, p. 513, pl. 45, fig. 10. 


Shell large, elongate-conic, brown, having three obscure bands of 
dark brown, one of which is at the summit, another at the periphery, 
while the third is halfway between these on the exposed portion of 
the whorl of the spire. Nuclear whorls decollated. Post-nuclear 
turns moderately rounded, ornamented by low, rounded, rather dis- 
tantly spaced, slightly protractive axial ribs which become weakened 
and somewhat flattened as they approach the appressed summit, and 
many fine lines of growth both on the ribs and in the intercostal

spaces. In addition to the axial sculpture the whorls are crossed by 
twelve deeply incised, somewhat irregularly spaced spiral lines, the 
raised spaces between which are again divided by many fine strie. 
All the spiral markings pass over the intercostal spaces and the ribs. 
Periphery of the last whorl obscurely angular, marked by the feeble 
continuations of the ribs which vanish immediately below the periph- 
ery and the usual fine lines of growth and spiral striation. Base 
rather short, well rounded, brown, with a narrow whitish band about 
the umbilicus, marked by closely spaced continuous wavy spiral stria- 
tion, which varies in strength, several finer striz alternating with the 
stronger. Aperture subquadrate, outer lip thin, showing four narrow 
dark-brown bands within, upon a lighter background—these are the 
three already referred to—and a fourth one on the base adjoming the 
periphery; columella almost vertical, slightly twisted and revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 196241, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Rev. G. W. 
Taylor, at Carter Bay, British Columbia; it has 11 post-nuclear whorls 
(the nucleus and probably three of the post-nuclear whorls being lost), 
and measures: Length 13.3 mm., diameter4mm. Another specimen 
from the same locality is in the Taylor collection. Three additional 
lots were collected by him in British Columbia; 1, a fragment, from 
west of Rose Spit, Queen Charlotte Islands; 6 at Departure Bay, 1 
of which is Cat. no. 196242, U.S.N.M.; 15 at Port Simpson, 5 of 
which are Cat. no. 196243, U.S.N.M. No. 196242 is the largest 
specimen, it has 124 whorls, having lost the nucleus and probably the 
first three of the succeeding turns, and measures: Length 17.8 mm., 
diameter 4.5 mm.

and Bartscu, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 33, 1907, pp. 511, 512, pl. 45, fig. 9. 


Shell large, broad; chestnut colored, obscurely banded. Nuclear 
whorls three, helicoid, about one-third immersed, scarcely extending 
beyond the margin of the spire, their axis being at a right angle to the 
axis of the later whorls. Post-nuclear whorls shghtly convex, some- 
what contracted at the periphery and slightly shouldered at the sum- 
mit; traversed by about 20 to 24 strong, well-rounded, somewhat - 
oblique axial ribs, which continue faintly over the decidedly angular 
periphery of the last whorl and the base to the umbilical region; these 
ribs are considerably enfeebled on the last whorl of old shells and fre- 
quently become almost obsolete on these. The exposed portion of the 


WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 115 


whorls is traversed by five spiral grooves, which appear most promi- 
nently in the shallow and broad intercostal spaces, and less so on the 
ribs; these deep spiral lines are regularly spaced, leaving a broader 
interval on the middle of the exposed portion of the whorl; the base 
of the last whorl is likewise ornamented by spiral grooves, but here 
they appear less developed than on the spire. In addition to this the 
entire surface of the shell is marked by numerous very fine, somewhat 
wavy, spiral and axial striz, which show most prominently on the last 
whorl and base, and give the shell a very minutely reticulated second- 
ary sculpture. At irregular intervals the whorls are marked by thick 
callous varices, which are usually of a lighter color than the remainder 
of the shell. Aperture large, subquadrate; posterior angle acute; 
outer lip thin, having three strong internal lirations, joining the 
whitish, short, straight, revolute columella at a little less than a 
right angle. By transmitted light two spiral light color-bands be- 
come apparent on the inside of the lip, each of which is bordered by 
a zone of a darker color than the remaining shell. The general color 
effect of the exterior is that of a flesh-colored shell, covered by a 
dark epidermis, which is stretched tight over the ribs, permitting 
the lighter color beneath to shine through it at their summits. 

Doctor Carpenter’s type (Cat. no. 153156, U.S.N.M.) was collected 
at Monterey, California. It has 11 post-nuclear whorls and measures: 
Length 11.1 mm., diameter 3.2mm. The specimen figured (Cat. no. 
150983, U.S.N.M.) is from San Pedro, California. It has 13 post- 
nuclear whorls and measures: Length 12.8 mm., diameter 3.6 mm. 

The U.S. National Museum has five lots of this species: Cat. no. 
153156 is the type from Monterey, California; Cat. no. 196239, four 
specimens dredged by the Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross at 
station 2902, off Santa Rosa Island, in 53 fathoms, fine gray sand 
and mud, with a bottom temperature of 45°; Cat. no. 196240, ten 
specimens from San Pedro, collected by Mrs. T.S. Oldroyd; Cat. no. 
150983, three individuals, one of which is figured, dredged by Mrs. 
Oldroyd in 4 fathoms, at San Pedro; Cat. no. 46505, two shells from 
San Diego in the Stearns collection. In addition to these, specimens 
have been determined for Mr. Berry, from Monterey, 12 to 39 fathoms; 
University of California, off Catalina Island; Mrs. Oldroyd and Mr. 
Lowe, at San Pedro; Mr. Kelsey and Mr. Arnold, from San Diego. 

TURBONILLA (MORMULA) AMBUSTA, new species. 
Plate 11, fig. 13. 

Shell medium size, slender, chestnut-brown. (Nuclear whorls de- 

collated.) Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded, appressed at the 


summit, slightly contracted at the periphery, marked by strong, 
rounded, slightly protractive axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the 


116 BULLETIN 68, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 


first and second, 18 upon the third to seventh, the eighth has a 
strong varix, 20 upon the ninth, and 22 upon the tenth. On the 
penultimate whorl they are decidedly enfeebled. Intercostal spaces 
a little wider than the ribs, marked by ten equal and equally incised 
spiral lines, the space between which is crossed by numerous. ex- 
ceedingly fine spiral striations. Periphery and base of the last whorl 
well rounded, marked by fine lines of growth and numerous very 
fine spiral striations. Aperture rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; also color 
bands, of which a narrow white one occurs at the periphery which is 
bounded on both sides by a brown band equaling it in width; an- 
other narrow brown band bordered on each side by a narrow white 
area occurs halfway between the periphery and the summit; columella 
slender, slightly curved and somewhat revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 152751, U.S.N.M.) was dredged in 10 fathoms, 
off San Pedro, California, by Mr. H. N. Lowe. It has lost the nucleus 
and probably the first post-nuclear whorl; the twelve remaining 
measure: Length 10 mm., diameter 2.3 mm. Another specimen 
from the same station is in Mr. Lowe’s collection, and another was 
collected by Mrs. Oldroyd.

Chemnitzia major C. B. Apams, Ann. Lyc. Nat. Hist. of N. Y., vol. 5, 1852, p. 391. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white with a few irregular faint rust 
spots. (Nuclear whorls decollated.) Post-nuclear whorls well 
rounded, appressed at the summit, moderately contracted at the 
periphery, with moderately strongly developed varices at irregular 
intervals and almost straight, well developed, vertical axial ribs, of 
which 16 occur upon the first to fourth, 18 upon the fifth to ninth, 20 
upon the tenth to twelfth, and 24 upon the penultimate turn. Inter- 
costal spaces about double the width of the ribs, marked by seven 
well-incised spiral lines, which, if the fourth were removed, would 
be equally spaced. The spaces between the strongly incised lines 
are marked by exceedingly fine spiral striations. Sutures slightly 
impressed. Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, 
posterior half of the latter marked by seven equal, well incised, 
wavy spiral lines; anterior half with exceedingly fine spiral striations 
only. Aperture rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, 
showing the external sculpture within; columella strong and some- 
what twisted. 

Professor Adams’ type (Cat. no. 225 Amherst College) is the only 
specimen of this species we have seen. It has lost the nucleus and 
probably the first two post-nuclear turns. The fourteen remaining 
measure: Length 9.7 mm., diameter 2.5 mm. It comes from Panama,

Subgenus DUNKERIA Carpenter. 
Dunkeria CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, pp. 433-434. 


Turbonillas having the whorls stronger, rounded, and usually 
shouldered, marked by strong axial ribs and strong spiral cords, the 
junctions of which are frequently subnodulous. 

Ty pe.—Dunkeria subangulata. 

Doctor Carpenter, after diagnosing Dunkeria laminata,* writes: 
“This beautiful Fenelloid species may be regarded as the type of the 
group of Dunkeria.” Unfortunately this species was not included 
in the original list, hence can not serve as type for the group. We 
had selected the first specimen, Dunkeria paucilirata, of the four cited 
by Carpenter in his Mazatlan Catalogue, for the type in our Synopsis 
of the Genera, Subgenera and Sections of the Family Pyramidellide.? 
Since then we have seen Doctor Carpenter’s material in the British 
Museum and we find that Dunkeria paucilirata is a Pyrgisculus, and 
that the second species Dunkeria subangulata resembles D. laminata 
in form and sculpture and thus bears out the author’s intent of typi- 
fying the group. D. cancellata must be removed to Pyrgisculus and 
D. intermedia to Evalina.

Plate 12, fies. 3, 3a. 


Shell elongate-conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls two and one- 
half, forming a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles 
to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is one-fourth 
mmersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened in the middle, with a 
strong sloping shoulder, which extends over the posterior third be- 
tween the-sutures, appressed at the summit and slightly constricted 
at the suture, marked by slender, sublamellar, sinuous, almost verti- 
eal axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the first three whorls, 18. upon 
the fourth to sixth, 20 upon the seventh and eighth, and 24 upon the 
penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces three times as wide as the 
ribs, marked by seven rather broad and deeply incised spiral grooves, 
the interspaces appearing as flattened cords, of which the one be- 
tween the second and third groove below the summit is at the shoulder 
and a little broader than the rest. Sutures strongly constricted. 
Periphery of the last whorl somewhat angulated. Base short, well 
rounded, marked by seven irregular and irregularly spaced spiral 
striations. Aperture broadly oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip 
thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella slender, and 
decidedly curved.

Dunkeria laminata CARPENTER, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 3d ser., vol. 15, 1865, p. 396. 

Shell broadly conic, wax yellow at the tip, chestnut-brown on the 
last whorl, columellar area white. Nuclear whorls two and one-half, 
forming a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to 
that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one- 
fourth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls inflated, strongly rounded, 
moderately contracted at the suture, marked by very regular, 
rounded, strong, almost vertical axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon the 
first, 24 upon the second, 26 upon the third, 28 upon the fourth and 
fifth, 30 upon the sixth and seventh, and about 40 upon the penulti- 
mate turn. Intercostal spaces a little wider than the ribs, crossed by 
five spiral series of broad, deep pits, which cause the five intermediate 
areas to appear as broad, raised bands, which are about as wide as

WEST AMERICAN PYRAMIDELLID MOLLUSKS. 12S 


TURBONILLA (DUNKERIA) HIPOLITENSIS, new species. 
Plate 12, figs. 8, 8a. 


Shell milk-white, with a light yellow narrow band midway between 
the sutures. Nuclear whorls small, two and one-half, forming a 
depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the 
succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-third immersed. 
Post-nuclear whorls moderately rounded, slightly shouldered at the 
summit but very slightly protracted at the suture, marked by mod- 
erately strong, rounded, retractive axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon 
the second, 20 upon the third, 24 upon the fourth and fifth, and 30 
upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces as wide as the ribs, 
crossed by five series of broad spiral pits, which are not quite as wide 
as the five raised cords which they bound, and which render the ribs 
somewhat nodulose at their junction. Periphery and base of the 
last whorl well rounded, the latter marked by six spiral cords and a 
feeble continuation of the axial ribs. Aperture oval; posterior 
angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; 
columella moderately strong, curved, reénforced by the base. 

The type and two additional specimens (Cat. no. 206889, U.S.N.M.) 
comes from San Hipolito Point, Lower California. The type has 
seven post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 3.3 mm., diameter 
1.2 mm. 

TURBONILLA (DUNKERIA) EXCOLPA, new species. 


Plate 12, figs. 4, 4a. 


Shell wax yellow on the early whcrls, ranging to chestnut brown 


the last. Nuclear whorls two and cne-half, formirg a dep 
coid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding tur: 
in the first of which it is about one-third immersed. Post-nuclear 
whorls well rounded, marked by well-developed, narrow, rounded, 
almost vertical axial ribs, of which 24 occur upon the first to third, 
26 upon the fourth, 28 upon the fifth, and about 36 upon the penulti- 
mate turn. Intercostal spaces about as wide as the ribs, crossed by 
five series of spiral pits which are as wide as the five raised spaces 
which they separate. The junction of these raised cords with the 
ribs renders them nodulous. Sutures constricted. Periphery of the 
last whorl and base well rounded, the latter marked by seven spiral 
cords. Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing 
the external sculpture within columella slender, somewhat twisted, 
reénforced by the base. 

The type (Cat. no. 206892 U.S.N.M.) comes from the Gulf of Cali- 
fornia. It has seven post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 
3.7 mm., diameter 1.1 mm.

Dunkeria subangulata CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, p. 434. 


Shell elongate-ovate, white. Nuclear whorls two, forming a moder- 
ately elevated spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the suc- 
ceeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-third immersed. 
Post-nuclear whorls strongly rounded, obliquely shouldered at the 
summit, marked by slender, vertical, axial ribs, of which 20 occur 
upon the first, 22 upon the second and third, and 24 upon the penulti- 
mate turn. In addition to the axial ribs, the whorls are crossed by 
four slender, spiral cords between the sutures and by a fifth at the 
periphery and five on the base. The spaces inclosed by the ribs and 
cords appear as round pits. Periphery and base of the last whorl 
well rounded. Aperture suboval; outer lip thin; columella some- 
what twisted and reflected; parietal wall covered with a thin callus. 

An adult and a young specimen are on tablet 2008, Liverpool collec- 
tion, British Museum. The adult has five post-nuclear whorls and 
measures: Length 2.8 mm., diameter 0.93 mm. 


TURBONILLA (DUNKERIA) ANDREWSI, new species. 


Plate 12, figs. 7, 7a. 


Shell small, conic, light chestnut, umbilical area white. Nuclear 
whorls two and one-half, forming a depressed helicoid spire, whose 
axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of 
which it is about one-third immersed. Post-nuclear whorls well 
rounded, moderately contracted at the suture, with a sloping shoulder 
which extends over the posterior third between the sutures, marked 
by slender, well-rounded, slightly retractive axial ribs, of which 18 
occur upon the first, 20 upon the second and third, 22 upon the fourth, 
and 32 upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal spaces about one and 
one-half times as wide as the ribs upon all but the last whorl, marked 
by five spiral series of broad pits, which are wide as the five cord-like 
interspaces which they bound and which render the ribs somewhat 
tuberculate at their junction. Sutures well impressed. Periphery 
and base of the last whorl well rounded, the latter marked by the con- 
tinuation of the axial ribs, which extend feebly to the umbilical area, 
and six spiral cords which grow successively a little narrower from the 
periphery to the umbilical area. Aperture oval; posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; colu- 
mella rather thick, reénforced by the base; parietal wall covered by a 
thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 162696 U.S.N.M.) comes from Panama. It has 
six post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.9 mm., diameter 
1 mm.

raised, retractive axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon the first four, 20 
upon the fifth, 22 upon the sixth and seventh, 24 upon the eighth, 26 
upon the ninth, and 28 upon the penultimate turn. Intercostal 
spaces about twice as wide as the ribs, marked by very deep pits, which 
leave the intervening spaces as strongly elevated cords, nine of which 
occur between the sutures. Of these cords the second and fifth below 
the summit and the first above the periphery are of equal width and 
wider than the rest; the first, which forms the summit, and the three 
posterior to the one at the periphery are again of equal width; the 
third and fourth below the summit are a little more slender than the 
rest; the pit at the periphery and those that bound the fifth cord are 
a little wider than the rest; the first and second below the summit 
and the second and third pit above the periphery are equal and those 
between the third and fourth cords are also equal. Sutures well 
impressed. Periphery of the last whorl inflated. Base well rounded, 
marked by the feeble continuations of the axial ribs and eight almost 
equal incised spiral lines. Aperture large, oval; posterior angle 
acute; outer lip somewhat flaring in its middle; columella slender, 
curved, and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 206890, U.S.N.M.) was dredged off Santa Cata-

about two and one-half times as wide as the ribs, marked by a very 
broad, deep, peripheral pit and two less wide on the anterior third 
between the sutures; the median third is marked by three moderately 
broad pits, separated by slender lirations, the shoulder has a narrow 
line immediately below the summit and three well incised lines anterior 
to this, the anterior of which is less strongly developed than the other 
two. The spaces between the second and third, and third and fourth, 
posterior to the peripheral one, are wider than the rest. All the 
raised areas between the pits are crossed by very fine spiral striations. 
Periphery of the last whorl slightly angulated. Base short, well 
rounded, marked by the feeble continuations of the axial ribs and ten 
spiral striations, which decrease in size and spacing from the periphery 
to the umbilicus. Aperture rhomboidal; posterior angle obtuse; 
outer lip thin; columella slender, very oblique, and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 96806, U.S.N.M.) was dredged at U.S. Bureau 
of Fisheries station 2799, in 30 fathoms, on green mud bottom in 
Panama Bay. it has lost the nucleus and probably the first post-

whorls are marked by strong, axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the 
second to fourth, 18 upon the fifth, and 20 upon the penultimate 
turn. Intercostal spaces about twice as wide as the ribs, marked by 
eleven incised spiral lines between the shoulder and the suture, which 
are a little less strongly developed and a little closer spaced near the 
suture. The shoulder is marked by five slender, spiral lines. Periph- 
ery and base of the last whorl well rounded, the latter marked by 
the feeble continuations of the axial ribs, and about eighteen slender, 
incised spiral lines. Aperture broadly oval; posterior angle acute;

Shell reddish-brown. Nuclear whorls two, tumid, helicoid, having 
their axis at right angles to that of the succeeding turns. Post- 
nuclear whorls two and one-half, decidedly inflated, strongly angu- 
lated at the summit; marked by many acute axial ribs and somewhat 
less strong spiral threads, which render the whorls elegantly can- 
cellated. Outer lip angulated, columella without fold. 

Doctor Carpenter’s type was found on a specimen of Spondylus at 
Mazatlan, Mexico. It is preserved in the Liverpool collection on tab- 
let 2009 in the British Museum. This young individual has two and 
one-half post-nuclear whorls, measuring: Length 0.95 mm., diameter

Plate 12, fig. 5. 
Turbonilla festiva DE Fourn, Les Méléagrinicoles, 1867, pp. 49, 50, pl. 5, figs. 4-6. 


Shell smooth, vitreous, elongate-conic. Nuclear whorls two and 
one-half, forming a moderately elevated, helicoid spire, whose axis is 
at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which 
it is about one-fifth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls moderately 
rounded, strongly contracted at the sutures, having a strong sloping 
shoulder which extends over the posterior fourth of the space between 
the sutures; the whorls are crossed by strong lamellose axial ribs 
which extend over the periphery to the umbilical area. Ten of these 
occur upon the first, 12 upon the second, and 8 upon the remaining

turns. Intercostal spaces about eight times as wide as the axial ribs, 
crossed by fine spiral striations, of which about fourteen occur 
between the sutures. Base slightly excavated. Aperture oval; colu- 
mella decidedly curved. 

The type has five post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.5 
mm., diameter 0.6 mm. 

The species described in Les Méléagrinicoles were taken from pearl 
oysters which are said to have come from Negritos and the Margarita 
Island in the Bay of Panama. No specific station is cited for this 
species. It has been referred to Panama by Tryon in his Manual of 
Conchology. 


TURBONILLA (PYRGISCULUS) EUCOSMIA, new species. 
Plate 12, figs. 13, 13a. 


Shell pupoid, light yellow, with a narrow, darker band at the 
shoulder. Nuclear whorls one and three-fourths, forming a depressed, 
helicoid spire, the axis of which is at right angles to that of the suc- 
ceeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-fourth immersed. 
Post-nuclear whorls slightly flattened in the middle, with a strong 
sloping shoulder which extends over the posterior fourth between the 
sutures and renders them decidedly angulated at its anterior termi- 
nation; slightly contracted at the suture, marked by strong, sub- 
lamellar, axial ribs, which are vertical on the first four whorls and 
decidedly retractive on the later ones. Of these ribs, 16 occur upon 
the first five whorls, 18 upon the sixth, and 20 upon the penultimate 
turn. Intercostal spaces about two and one-half times as wide as 
the ribs, marked by a double series of very broad pits, one of which 
is at the periphery and the other immediately anterior to the shoul- 
der. The space between these pits is divided into four equal cords 
by three moderately wide pits, the cords in turn being divided by a 
fine incised line. The shoulders are marked by five equal and equally 
spaced, incised, spiral lines. Sutures strongly impressed. Base mod- 
erately long, well rounded, marked by eight almost equal and equally 
spaced spiral striations. Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; outer 
lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella slender, 
sinuous, and strongly reflected; parietal wall covered with a strong 
callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 162698, U.S.N.M.) was dredged at U.S. Bureau 
of Fisheries station 2822, in 21 fathoms, off La Paz, Lower California. 
It has eight post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 4.8 mm., 
diameter 1.4 mm. Two additional specimens (Cat. no. 163251a,

It is a curious shell, entirely different from anything else that we 
have seen. Unfortunately the outer surface is too badly worn to 
permit of a positive statement regarding its finer markings.

Shell ovoid, milk-white. Nuclear whorls deeply, obliquely im- 
mersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the tilted 
edge of the last volution projects, which is smooth. Post-nuclear 
whorls very slightly rounded, ornamented by strong axial ribs, of 
which 18 occur upon the second and third and 20 upon the penulti- 
mate turn. In addition to the axial ribs the whorls are marked by 
four equal and equally spaced slender spiral cords, which are a little 
less strong than the ribs, and render the junction with these nodu- 
lous. Sutures channeled; periphery and base of the last whorl well 
rounded, the latter marked by six equal spiral cords, which are about 
as wide as the spaces that separate them. The impressed grooves 
are crossed by numerous slender axial threads. Aperture ovate; 
posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, pinched in in the middle; 
columella slender, moderately curved, slightly reflected, partly reén- 
forced by the base. Parietal wall covered with a strong callus, 
which renders the peritreme complete.

which 18 occur upon the first, 22 upon the second, 20 upon the third, 
22 upon the fourth and penultimate turn. In addition to the axial 
ribs the whorls are marked by four slender, spiral cords which do not 
render the ribs tuberculate. The spaces between the cords and the 
ribs are deep round pits. Sutures channeled. Periphery of the 
last whorl marked by a groove. Base somewhat attenuated anteri- 
orly, well rounded posteriorly, marked by seven spiral cords which 
become somewhat diminished in size from the periphery to the 
umbilical region. Grooves separating the cords marked by numer- 
ous slender axial threads. Aperture irregularly pyriform, effuse

which the tilted edge of the last whorl only projects. Post-nuclear 
whorls flattened, strongly contracted at the sutures and somewhat 
shouldered at the summit, marked by strong protractive axial ribs, 
of which 16 occur upon the second, 18 upon the third, and 20 upon 
the remaining turns. In addition to the axial ribs the whorls are 
marked by four slender spiral cords between the sutures, which 
render the ribs tuberculate at their junction, the spaces inclosed 
by the ribs and spiral cords are deep, quadrangular pits, the long 
axis of which coincides with the spiral cords. Periphery of the last 
whorl marked by a strong sulcus which is crossed by the continuation 
of the axial ribs. Base of the last whorl attenuated, well rounded, 
marked by eight subequal and subequally spaced low spiral cords, 
the grooves between which are crossed by many slender axial threads. 
The summit of the last whorl falls below the first basal keel and 
leaves this in the suture. On the last half of the last turn, an addi- 
tional slender spiral thread divides the space between the first and 
second and second and third strong spiral cords. Aperture pyriform, 
somewhat effuse anteriorly; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip (frac- 
tured), thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella strong, 
curved, decidedly reflected over the reénforcing base, provided with

Shell conic, vitreous to milk-white. Nuclear whorls at least two, 
forming a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to 
that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-half 
immersed. Post-nuclear whorls flattened, strongly contracted at the 
suture and decidedly shouldered at the summit, marked by strong 
vertical axial ribs of which there are 16 upon the first and second, 
18 upon the third to fifth, and 20 upon the penultimate turn. In 
addition to the ribs the whorls are marked by four spiral cords about 
one-half as strong as the ribs, between the sutures; the first of these 
is at the angle of the shoulder. The junction of the spiral cords 
and ribs nodulous; the spaces inclosed between them rectangular 
pits. Sutures channeled. Periphery of the last whorl marked by a 
spiral cord at whose posterior margin the axial ribs terminate. Base 
produced, moderately rounded, marked by ten spiral cords, which, 
like the grooves separating them, decrease regularly in size from the

Shell small, very elongate-ovate, vitreous. Nuclear whorls smooth, 
deeply obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above 
which the tilted edge of the last volution only projects. Post-nuclear 
whorls slightly rounded, moderately contracted at the periphery and 
well shouldered at the summit, marked by strong axial ribs, of 
which about 20 occur upon all the whorls. Intercostal spaces about 
as wide as the ribs, marked between the sutures by four slender 
spiral cords which pass up on the sides of the ribs but do not cross 
their summits. On the last whorl the first basal keel falls between 
the sutures; here, too, the ribs are rendered slightly tuberculate by 
the spiral cords. Sutures strongly marked but not channeled. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by a groove. Base somewhat 
produced, marked by twelve slender, spiral cords which are a little 
wider than the spaces that separate them and become successively 
narrower and more closely spaced from the periphery to the umbilical 
area. The spaces between the cords are marked by numerous 
slender, axial threads. Aperture pyriform, slightly effuse anteriorly; 
posterior angle acute; outer lip pinched in posteriorly; thin, showing 
the external sculpture within; columella stout, strongly reflected 
anteriorly, reénforced by the base, provided with a weak fold at its

Plate 14, fig. 9. 


Shell pupiform, vitreous. Nuclear whorls large, obliquely immersed 
in the first of the succeeding turns, above which the tilted edge of 
the last volution only projects. Post-nuclear whorls flattened, 
slightly excurved at the shouldered summit, strongly contracted at 
the sutures, marked by very strong, vertical axial ribs, of which 16 
occur upon all the whorls. In addition to these ribs, the whorls 
are marked between the sutures by four moderately strong spiral 
cords, which render the junction with the ribs obscurely nodulous. 
The spaces inclosed between the ribs and cords are well impressed 
squarish pits. Sutures strongly impressed. Periphery and base of 
the last whorl well rounded, marked by the feeble continuations of 
the axial ribs and twelve slender spiral cords which grow successively 
weaker from the periphery to the umbilical area. Aperture elon- 
gate, oval; posterior angle obtuse, outer lip thin, showing the 
external sculpture within; columella slender, decidedly curved, 
slightly reflected, reénforced by the base, provided with a weak

almost vertical, axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the second and 
third, 18 upon the fourth, 20 upon the fifth, and 22 upon the penulti- 
mate turn. In addition to the axial ribs, the whorls are marked by 
four slender spiral cords between the sutures, the junction of which, 
with the axial ribs, renders them feebly nodulous. Thespaces inclosed 
by the ribs and cords are well impressed squarish pits. Sutures 
strongly channeled. Periphery marked by a slender spiral cord, on 
the posterior edge of which the axial ribs terminate. Base of the 
last whorl well rounded, slightly attenuated anteriorly, marked by

the periphery. Spaces separating the spiral cords of the base about 
as wide as the cords, covered by numerous slender axial threads. 
Aperture oval; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the 
external sculpture within; columella slender, curved, provided with 
a strong fold at its insertion; parietal wall covered with a thin callus. 

Five specimens of this species were taken off S pondylus at Mazatlan, 
Mexico. Tablet 1969, Liverpool collection, British Museum, contains 
two specimens; one of these has six post-nuclear whorls and measures: 
Length 4.1 mm., diameter 1.8 mm.

Plate 15, figs. 7, 7a. 
Chrysallida ovata CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, p. 417. 


Shell ovate, white. Nuclear whorls obliquely immersed in the first 
of the succeeding turns above which only the tilted edge of the last 
volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls slightly rounded, well con- 
tracted at the sutures, and moderately shouldered at the summit, 
marked by nodulose slightly retractive axial ribs of which 20 occur 
upon the first to second, 18 upon the third, and 22 upon the penulti- 
mate turn. In addition to the ribs the whorls are marked between 
the sutures by four spiral cords considerably less strong than the ribs, 
which render them nodulous at their junction. The spaces inclosed 
by the ribs and spiral cords are deep round pits. Sutures well marked 
but not channeled. Periphery of the last whorl marked by a narrow 
spiral groove. Base well rounded, marked by six strong broad 
rounded almost equal and equally spaced spiral cords, the grooved 
spaces between which are marked by numerous fine axial threads. 
Aperture oval, slightly effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute; outer 
lip rendered slightly sinuous by the spiral cords; columella slender 
and curved, provided with a fold, deep within, at its insertion; parie- 
tal wall covered by a thin callus. 

Three specimens of this species taken from Spondylus at Mazatlan, 
Mexico, are on tablet 1968, Liverpool collection, British Museum. 
One of these has five whorls and measures: Length 3.9 mm., diameter

Plate 15, figs. 2, 2a. 
Chrysallida cincta CARPENTER, Rep’t Brit. Assn. Adv. Sci., 1864, p. 659. 


Shell elongate-ovate, vitreous. Nuclear whorls smooth, deeply 
immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the 
tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls well 
rounded, marked by vertical axial ribs which are strongest near the 
summit, becoming much enfeebled as they pass to the suture. Of 
these ribs 18 occur upon the second and third and 20 upon the fourth 
whorl. In addition to the ribs the whorls are marked by four broad, 
strong, spiral keels which form nodules at their junction with the ribs. 
On the last whorl the axial sculpture is obsolete on the anterior half 
between the sutures. Sutures subchanneled. Periphery of the last 
whorl marked by a strong keel. Base well rounded posteriorly, effuse 
anteriorly, marked by six low, spiral cords, the two nearest the um- 
bilical area being very faint. Aperture oval, decidedly effuse ante- 
riorly; posterior angle acute; outer lip rendered sinuous by the spiral 
cords, thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella slender, 
very long, almost straight, reflected, reénforced by the base, provided 
with a weak fold at its insertion,

The type (Cat. no. 15730, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Cooper at 
Santa Barbara, California. It has five post-nuclear whorls and meas- 
ures: Length 3 mm., diameter 1.5 mm. Cat. no. 162768, U.S.N.M.,

ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) LOOMISI, new species. 
Plate 16, fig. 3. 


Shell very small, pupiform, vitreous. Nuclear whorls smooth, 
deeply obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above 
which only a portion of the tilted edge of the last volution projects. 
Early post-nuclear whorls well rounded, later ones flattened, some- 
what excurved at the shouldered and beaded summit, and slightly 
contracted at the sutures, marked by strong rounded, tuberculated 
axial ribs, which are decidedly protractive on all but the last whorl; 
on this they are only moderately protracted. Of the axial ribs, 14 
appear upon the first, 16 upon the second, 20 upon the third, and 
24 upon the penultimate turn. In addition to the ribs the whorls 
are marked between the sutures by four spiral cords, which almost 
equal the ribs in strength, forming tubercles at their junctions with 
the axial ribs. On the last whorl and one-half the summit drops 
below the peripheral keel and leaves this in the suture; the axial 
ribs, however, terminate at the posterior edge of it, and thus leave 
it without tubercles. The spaces inclosed by the ribs and cords 
appear as deep oval pits having their long axis parallel to the cords. 
Sutures well marked but not channeled. Base of the last whorl 
long, well rounded, marked by seven spiral cords, the four anterior 
to the periphery being equal and equally spaced, the other three 
growing successively smaller; channels between the cords very reg- 
ular, marked by many slender axial riblets. Aperture oval, some- 
what effuse anteriorly; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing 
the external sculpture within; columella slender, curved, and reflected, 
not reénforced by the base. 

The type and five specimens were with Prof. C. B. Adams’s type of 
Chemnitzia communis at Amherst College. They come from the 
Bay of Panama. The type has five post-nuclear whorls and measures: 
Length 2 mm., diameter 0.9 mm. 

Named for Prof. F. B. Loomis. 


ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) VICOLA, new species. 
Plate 16, fig. 11.

first of the succeeding turns, above which the tilted edge of the last 
volution only projects, which is marked by five slender spiral threads. 
Post-nuclear whorls rounded on ali but the first whorl, marked by 
very broad, strong, retractive axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the

second and third and 20 upon the penultimate turn. In addition to 
the axial ribs the whorls are marked by four very broad, low spiral 
cords, which are separated by mere incised lines between the sutures, 
which render their junction with the axial ribs very strongly nodu- 
lous. Sutures constricted, showing a portion of the peripheral cord. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by a strong, well rounded spiral 
cord. Base of the last whorl decidedly attenuated, marked by 
seven subequal spiral cords, the spaces between which are marked 
by numerous slender, axial threads. Aperture elongate-ovate, 
decidedly effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, 
showing the external sculpture within, rendered sinuous by the 
spiral cords; columella long, moderately strong, somewhat sinuous, 
reflected, reénforced by the base, and provided with a fold at its 
insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 206899, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Pedro Bay, 
California. It has five post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 
2.5 mm., diameter 1.2 mm.

Odostomia (Chrysallida) astricta, Datu and Bartscx, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 
33, 1907, p. 515, pl. 46, fig. 1. 

Shell. elongate-conic, bluish-white. Nuclear whorls decollated. 
Post-nuclear whorls very slightly rounded, separated by deeply chan- 
neled sutures. In this species the axial ribs exceed the four spiral 
keels in strength, their junction forming elongated tubercles the long 
axis of which coincides with the al keels. The axial ribs, of 
which there are 16 upon all of the turns, slant decidedly backward 
near the aperture. They are rather distantly spaced and the spaces 
inclosed between them and the spiral keels are deep oblong pits, 
the long axis of which coincides with the spiral sculpture. Periphery 
of the last whorl marked by a deep, wide channel across which the 
ribs extend feebly to the first subperipheral keel. Base rather long 
and well rounded, marked by seven rather narrow, slender spiral keels 
which successively decrease in strength from the periphery to the 
umbilical area, the anterior ones being only faintly indicated; the 
spaces which separate the keels are about twice as wide as the keels 
and are crossed by many very slender raised axial threads. Aper- 
ture oval, outer lip rather thick, columella twisted, reénforced by the 
attenuated base and provided with a moderately strong fold at its 
insertion; parietal wall covered by a strong callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 196280, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Mr. F. L. 
Button at Monterey, California; it has the six last whorls remaining, 
having lost the nucleus and probably the first post-nuclear turn, and 
measures: Length 2.9 mm., diameter 1.2 mm.

33, 1907, pp. 514, 515, pl. 46, fig. 7. 

Shell broadly conic, white. Nuclear whorls smooth, largely 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns above which 
only about half of the last turn projects. Post-nuclear whorl mod- 
erately rounded, slopingly shouldered at the summit, the shoulder 
bearing the first of the four stronger tuberculate spiral ridges. The 
connections which join the tubercles in the spiral series are a little 
more strongly developed than those which link them vertically, the 
spaces inclosed between them being deep squarish pits. The tuber- 
cles are very prominent and rounded; there are about 16 upon the 
second, 20 upon the third, and 26 upon the penultimate turn. The 
axial series slants retractively from the posterior suture. Sutures 
deep and broad, considerably wider than the spaces between the keels. 
Periphery of the last whorl deeply channeled, the channel marked by 
a weak extension of the axial bars which terminate at the first supra- 
peripheral keel. Base prolonged, well-rounded, marked by seven 
strong moderately raised spiral keels which, like the channels that 
separate them, diminish regularly in width from the periphery to the 
umbilical area; the last, the eighth, immediately behind the colu- 
mella, being less distinct and considerably broader than the rest. The 
channels between the keels are about equal to the keels in width and 
are crossed by numerous very slender raised threads, which extend up 
on the sides of the keels but do not cross them. About five of these 
threads fall in the space between two tubercles on the spire, in the 
first supra-peripheral groove. Aperture oval, large, effuse anteriorly, 
posterior angle obtuse, outer lip rather thick, not showing the exter- 
nal sculpture within; columella somewhat twisted, revolute ante- 
riorly, reénforced by the attenuated base, and provided with a weak 
fold at its insertion; parietal wall covered by a callus which joins the 
columella with the posterior angle of the aperture and renders the 
peristome almost complete. 

The type (Cat. no. 162771, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Doctor Dall 
at Monterey, California. It has five post-nuclear whorls and meas- 
ures: Length 3.1 mm., diameter, 1.4 mm.

channels. In addition to these spiral cords the whorls are marked by 
weak axial ribs which extend only feebly to the first supra-peripheral 
cord, rendering the junction with the cords feebly nodulous. Sutures 
strongly constricted, not channeled. Periphery of the last whorl 
marked by a spiral cord. Base well rounded, slightly channeled 
anteriorly, marked by nine spiral cords which become successively 
weaker and closer spaced from the periphery to the umbilical area. 
The spaces between the cords are marked by numerous slender axial 
threads. Aperture oval, effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella 
moderately strong, twisted, strongly reflected, reénforced by the 
base, provided with a strong fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 162770, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Hipolito 
Point, Lower California. It has five post-nuclear whorls and meas- 
ures: Length 3.5 mm., diameter 1.7 mm. 


ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) LAPAZANA, new species. 


Plate 16, figs. 9, 9a. 


Shell broadly ovate, white. Nuclear whorls smooth, deeply 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear 
whorls moderately contracted at the sutures, strongly slopingly 
shouldered at the summit, where the angle of the shoulder falls on the 
second spiral keel. The whorls are marked by well developed, nodu- 
lous axial ribs, of which 20 occur upon all the whorls. Intercostal 
spaces about twice as wide as the ribs, crossed by five equal spiral 
cords, which are about half as strong as the ribs and render them 
nodulous at their junction. The first spiral cord is a little posterior 
to the middle of the shoulder. The spaces inclosed by the ribs and 
cords are deep, rectangular pits, the long axis of which coincides 
with the spiral cords. Sutures strongly marked, but not channeled. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by a spiral cord to the posterior 
extremity of which the axial ribs extend, but whose summits they do 
not cross. Base short, well rounded, marked by nine spiral keels 
which are about as wide as the spaces that separate them, decreasing 
successively in strength and spacing from the periphery to the 
umbilical area. The grooves between the spiral cords are marked by 
numerous fine, axial raised threads. Aperture oval, slightly effuse 
anteriorly; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin; columella slender, 
strongly reflected, provided with a fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 162778, U.S.N.M.) and two specimens were 
dredged at U. S. Bureau of Fisheries station 2823, in 26.5 fathoms, 
off La Paz, Lower California. The type has five post-nuclear whorls 
and measures: Length 2.8 mm., diameter 2.1 mm.

Noemia proxima dE Foun, Fonds de la Mer, vol. 2, 1872, pp. 166, 167, pl. 6, fig. 3. 


Shell ovate, conic, crystalline. Nuclear whorls one and one-half, 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post- 
nuclear whorls strongly constricted at the sutures, moderately 
shouldered at the summit, marked by strong vertical axial ribs, of 
which 20 occur upon the second and third and 22 upon the penulti- 
mate turn. These ribs disappear at the periphery. The spaces 
between the ribs are marked by spiral cords a little less strong than 
the ribs; four of these occur between the sutures on the second and 
third, and seven upon the penultimate turn. Their intersections 
with the ribs form nodules. Sutures channeled. Base somewhat 
attenuated, marked by eleven spiral cords, the spaces between which 
are axially lirate. Aperture subpyriform, posterior angle obtuse; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella 
slender, somewhat curved and reflected, provided with a strong fold

ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) TYLERI, new species. 


Plate 16, fig. 5. 


Shell robust, subdiaphanous to milk-white. Nuclear whorls 
smooth, immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only a part of the decidedly tilted edge of the last whorl projects. Post- 
nuclear whorls flattened, slightly excurved at the summit, scarcely at 
all contracted at the periphery and moderately shouldered at the 
summit, marked by very strong, rounded, axial ribs, of which 14 
occur upon the first, 16 upon the second, 18 upon the third, 20 upon 
the fourth, 22 upon the fifth, and 24 upon the penultimate turn. In 
addition to the axial ribs the whorls are marked by spiral cords, less 
strong than the ribs, the junctions of which with the ribs render them 
tuberculate. Of these cords, four occur upon all the whorls but the 
penultimate and last, which have five between the sutures. The 
spaces inclosed between the ribs and cords are deep square pits. 
The posterior cord is on the summit of the whorl and is a little 
stronger than the rest, rendering the whorls, which are excurved, 
crenulated. Suture well marked but not channeled. Periphery 
and the somewhat attenuated base of the last whorl well rounded, 
marked by seven strong, rounded, spiral cords which diminish succes- 
sively in size and spacing from the periphery to the umbilical area. 
The channels which separate the cords are marked by numerous fine

Shell large, elongate-conic, white. Nuclear whorls smooth, deeply 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only a portion of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls 
very slightly rounded, moderately contracted at the sutures, slightly 
excurved at the shouldered summit, marked by strong, vertical axial 
ribs, of which 16 occur upon the second and third, 18 upon the 
fourth, 20 upon the fifth and sixth, and 26 upon the penultimate 
turn. Intercostal spaces about twice as wide as the ribs, crossed 
by five slender spiral cords between the sutures, which render the 
ribs feebly nodulous at their junction. Sutures strongly impressed. 
Periphery and base of the last whorl decidedly inflated, the latter 
narrowly umbilicated, marked by seven weak spiral cords. Aper- 
ture large, elongate-oval; outer lip thin, showing the external sculp-

Odostomia (Chrysallida) montereyensis Datu and Bartscu, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 
vol. 33, 1907, p. 516, pl. 46, fig. 4. 

Shell broadly conic, milk-white to subdiaphanous. Nuclear whorls 
smooth, largely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above 
which only half of the last whorl projects. Post-nuclear whorls sepa- 
rated by broad, deep sutures; well rounded between the sutures where 
they are ornamented by four strongly tuberculate spiral ridges; the 
spiral connections between the tubercles are equal to the axial con- 
nections or ribs, of which 16 appear upon the second, 18 upon the thir- 
tieth, and 20 upon the penultimate whorl. The spaces inclosed be- 
tween the axial ribs and the spiral connections which join the rounded 
tubercles are deep, squarish pits. The axial ribs extend strongly 
across the deep peripheral channel and stop at the first subperipheral 
keel. Base moderately long, well rounded, marked by five equal 
and subequally spaced, well raised, strong, spiral keels, and a sixth, 
much broader, low, and rounded at the columellar margin. The 
grooves between the keels are equal to the width of the keels near 
the periphery, but diminish in breadth successively from the periph- 
ery to the umbilical area. They are crossed by numerous slender, 
raised, axial threads, which extend up on the sides of the spiral keels, 
but do not cross them. There are about five of these threads between 
each two ribs in the first subperipheral channel; aperture oval, some- 
what effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute; columella reénforced 
by the attenuated base, against which it appears like a thickened 
callus, provided with a moderately strong oblique fold at its inser- 
tion; parietal wall covered by a thick callus, which joins the colu- 
mella with the posterior angle of the aperture. 

The type (Cat. no. 196281, U.S.N.M.) has 5 post-nuclear whorls 
and measures: Length 3 mm., diameter 1.3 mm. It was collected 
by Mr. S. S. Berry, in 12 fathoms, off Del Monte, Monterey Bay, 
California. Three specimens from the same station are in Mr. Berry’s

ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) PULCIA, new species. 
Plate 16, figs. 10, 10a. 


Shell small, ovate, vitreous. Nuclear whorls deeply, very ob- 
liquely immersed in the first of the post-nuclear whorls, above which 
only the tilted edge of the last volution projects, which is marked by 
five slender spiral threads. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, 
strongly contracted at the sutures and shouldered at the summits, 
marked by very strong, decidedly retractively curved, axial ribs, of 
which 16 occur upon the first, 18 upon the second, and 20 upon the 
penultimate turn. In addition to the axial ribs, the whorls are 
marked between the sutures by four very broad, low, spiral bands, 
which are separated by mere impressed lines, and which render the 
axial ribs feebly tuberculated. Suture subchanneled. Periphery 
of the last whorl marked by a narrow deep groove, which is not 
crossed by the axial ribs. Base well rounded, crossed by six spiral 
cords which grow decidedly weaker and closer spaced from the 
periphery to the umbilical area, the spaces between them being 
crossed by numerous slender, axial threads. Aperture oval; posterior 
angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; 
columella stout, strongly reflected anteriorly, provided yale a weak 
fold at its insertion. 

The type and 35 specimens (Cat. no. 162763, USNM) come 
from San Pedro, California. The type has four hate -nuclear whorls 
and measures: Lensth 2.2 mm., diameter 1.2 mm. Seventy speci- 
mens from the same locality were identified for Mrs. Oldroyd. Cat.

Shell elongate-conic, thin, semitranslucent. Nuclear whorls 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only the tilted edge of the last volution projects, which is marked by 
three strongly elevated spiral threads. Post-nuclear whorls well- 
rounded, moderately contracted at the sutures, and strongly slop- 
ingly shouldered, marked by weak rounded axial ribs which are best 
developed near the edges of the shoulder. Of these ribs about 24 are 
indicated on the first turn, 18 upon the second to fourth, and 20 upon 
the penultimate turn. In addition to the axial sculpture the whorls 
are marked between the sutures by a number of spiral keels of diverse

strength, of which 4 occur upon the first and second, 5 upon the third, 
6 upon the fourth and the penultimate whorl. Of these spiral ridges 
the second one below the summit is the strongest and marks the angle 
of the shoulder. The junction of the ribs and cords form feeble 
nodules best shown at the shoulder. Sutures strongly constricted. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by alow cord. Base well rounded, 
marked by four low, broad cords and seven exceedingly fine incised 
lines, the latter about the umbilical area. The narrow, strongly 
incised grooves which separate the cords are crossed by numerous 
fine axial threads, which give them a pitted appearance. Aperture 
oval, slightly effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute; outer lip 
rendered slightly wavy by the external cords, thin, showing the 
external sculpture within; columella slender, curved, provided with 
a deep-seated fold at its insertion. 

The type and ten specimens (Cat. no. 46152, U.S.N.M) come from 
Todos Santos Bay, Lower California. The type has six post-nuclear 
whorls and measures: Length 3 mm., diameter 1.1 mm. 

This is the most variable and the most abundant member of the 
subgenus Chrysallida. On some the axial ribs extend only over the 
first two cords below the summit, on others they extend strongly over 
the periphery and part of the base. The spiral cords also vary in 
number and strength. The general form, however, seems quite 
constant.

i ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) DEFOLINIA, new name. 
Plate 17, fig. 5. 


Noemia angusta DE Foun, Fonds de la Mer, vol. 2, 1872, p. 165, pl. 6, fig. 7; not 
Chrysallida angusta CARPENTER, 1864. 


Shell conic, crystalline, shining. Nuclear whorls one and one-half, 
the greater part immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post- 
nuclear whorls flattened, marked by four spiral ridges between the 
sutures and axial ribs, the intersections of which form low squarish 
tubercles of which about 14 occur upon the second and 18 upon 
the penultimate whorl. Suture poorly impressed. Periphery of the

last whorl marked by a spiral cord. Base attenuated, marked by 
six equally spaced spiral cords and slender axial threads in the 
grooves between the cords. Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella 
moderately strong, slightly curved, provided with a strong fold a 
little below its insertion. 

De Folin’s type comes from Margarita Island, Bay of Panama. 
It has five post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 3.6 mm., 
diameter 1.5 mm. De Folin’s figure, which we copy, not having 
seen any specimens of this species, is inconsistent, in showing five 
spiral cords on the second and third whorls. 


ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) DEFOLINIA CONTRACTA de Folin. 
Noemia angusta var. contracta DE Four, Fonds de la Mer, vol. 2, 1872, p. 165. 


Of this form de Folin says: ‘‘Shell similar to Noemia angusta but 
smaller, less ventricose, and more oval; length 3 mm., diameter 
f22 om.” 


ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) DEFOLINIA DIFFICILIS, new name.

Chrysallida ovata CARPENTER, 1856. 

Of this form de Folin says:¢ ‘‘Shell similar to Noemia angusta 
but smaller, with a spire more ovate, and the whorls more convex; 
aperture broader; outer lip crenulate; columella less expanded; 
length 2.7 mm., diameter 1.3 mm.”

vol. 33, 1907, pp. 516, 517, pl. 46, figs. 10, 10a. 

Shell elongate-conic, slender, subdiaphanous to milk-white. Nuclear 
whorls immersed, the last one only being visible. This is some- 
what tilted and marked by three strong narrow spiral keels and 
many slender raised axial threads which cross the grooves between 
the keels. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, slopingly shouldered 
at the summit and separated by constricted sutures, ornamented by 
almost equal and equally spaced spiral keels and axial ribs between 
the sutures on the spire. There are 4 spiral keels on the first, sec- 
ond, and third whorls, 6 on the fourth, and 7 upon the penultimate 
whorl. The first of these keels is on the shoulder of the whorl near 
the summit and is somewhat less developed than the rest. The axial 
ribs are best developed on the early whorls, where they extend 
equally strong from the summit to the periphery; on the antepenul-

timate and penultimate turns they become somewhat enfeebled from 
the middle of the whorl between the sutures to the periphery. 
There are about 16 of these ribs on the first, 18 on the third, 20 
upon the fourth, and 22 upon the penultimate turn. The intersec- 
tions of the ribs and spiral keels form low elongated tubercles, the 
long axis of which coincides with the spiral sculpture. The meshes 
inclosed by the keels and ribs are deeply impressed squarish pits. 
Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, the latter somewhat 
inflated and marked by six spiral cords, which are successively 
closer spaced and a little less strongly developed from the periphery 
to the umbilical area. The channels between the cords are crossed 
by many very slender raised vertical threads. Aperture oval, 
slightly effuse anteriorly; outer lip thin; columella reénforced on its 
posterior two-thirds by the attenuated base, free and somewhat 
revolute anteriorly; parietal wall glazed by a thin callus. 

The type has six post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 3.3 
mm., diameter 1.2 mm. It and nine additional specimens are Cat. 
no. 107690, U.S.N.M., and were collected by Dr. C. F. Newcombe 
at Cumshewa Inlet, Queen Charlotte Island, British Columbia, in 10 
fathoms. Two other lots of one specimen each come from Monterey, 
Cat. no. 73998, U.S.N.M., in the Stearns collection, and Cat. no. 
196283, U.S.N.M., collected by Mr. F. L. Button.

Odostomia oblonga Macariiveray, 1848. 


Shell elongate-conic, white. Nuclear whorls small, deeply obliquely 
immersed in the first post-nuclear turn, above which only the tilted 
edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, 
marked by slender, nodulous, retractive axial ribs, which terminate 
at the posterior extremity of the supra-peripheral cord, leaving this 
smooth. Of these ribs about 35 occur upon the first whorl, 28 upon 
the second and third, 22 upon the fourth, and 26 upon the penultimate 
turn. In addition to the axial ribs, the whorls are marked by five 
strong, spiral cords, the junction of which with the ribs form tubercles. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by a groove. Base well rounded, 
ornamented with seven equal and equally spaced spiral cords, the 
grooves between which are marked by fine, raised axial threads. 
Aperture pyriform, somewhat effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute ; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella 
slender, curved, and reflected, provided with an oblique fold at its 
insertion; parietal wall covered with a thin callus.

Plate 18, figs. 2, 2a. 


Shell elongate-ovate, vitreous. Nuclear whorls deeply obliquely 
immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the 
tilted edge of the last volution projects, which is marked by five 
slender spiral threads. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, strongly 
contracted at the periphery and slightly shouldered at the summit, 
marked on all but the first whorl, which is but feebly sculptured, by 
strong, rounded, decidedly retractive axial ribs, of which 14 occur 
upon the second, 16 upon the third, and 20 upon the penultimate 
turn. In addition to the ribs, the whorls are marked between the 
sutures, by four low, broad, spiral bands, separated by narrow channels 
which render their junction with the ribs decidedly nodulous. On 
the last two whorls the peripheral cord is apparent in the strongly 
constricted suture. Periphery of the last whorl marked by a strong 
cord. Base well rounded, marked by three subequal spiral cords and a 
plain area about the umbilicus. The grooves separating these cords 
are marked by many slender axial threads. Aperture ovate, posterior 
angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; 
columella moderately strong, slightly reflected, reénforced by the 
base, provided with a fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 162777, U.S.N.M.) comes from Todos Santcs

cords and numerous exceedingly fine axial threads. The next three 
have twenty strong, rounded, axial ribs, which terminate at the 
posterior edge of the fourth keel, leaving this smooth. On the last 
whorl the ribs are decidedly enfeebled, being replaced by numerous 
axial threads. The spiral sculpture consists of four strong cords 
between the sutures, the three which cross the ribs form strong 
nodules at their junction with them, while the supraperipheral one 
is smooth. Suture strongly impressed, slightly channeled. Periph- 
ery and base of the last whorl well rounded, marked by eight

immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post-nuclear whorls 
flattened, strongly contracted at the periphery, well shouldered 
at the summit, marked by strong, somewhat retractive axial ribs, 
which terminate at the posterior edge of the first supraperipheral 
keel, which is smooth. Of these ribs, 18 occur upon the second, 20 
upon the third, 22 upon the fourth, and 27 upon the penultimate 
turn. In addition to the axial ribs the whorls are marked by four 
spiral keels, which equal the ribs in strength and render their junction 
nodulous. The spaces inclosed by the axial ribs and spiral cords 
are well impressed round pits. Sutures strongly channeled. Periph- 
ery of the last whorl marked by a strong groove. Base of the 
last whorl well rounded, marked by five spiral cords, which grow 
successively a little weaker from the periphery to the umbilical area. 
The spaces between these cords are marked by slender spiral threads, 
which correspond to the ribs.on the spire. Aperture oval, posterior 
angle obtuse; outer lip thin, rendered wavy by the spiral cords; 
columella moderately strong, decidedly curved, reflected, and 
reénforced by the base, provided with a slender fold at its insertion.

which practically terminate at the posterior edge of the suprape- 
ripheral spiral keel. Of these ribs, 12 occur upon the first, 14 upon 
the second, 18 upon the third, and 22 upon the penultimate turn. 
In addition to these ribs the whorls are marked by four spiral keels 
between the sutures which equal the ribs in strength and render the 
three anterior to the summit tuberculated at their junction, the 
fourth one being smooth. Sutures strongly channeled. Periphery of 
the last whorl marked by a groove. Base well rounded, marked by 
six slender spiral keels, which are a little less strongly developed and 
more closely spaced at the umbilical area than at the periphery.

Plate 17, figs. 8, 8a. 


Shell conic, milk-white. Nuclear whorls smooth, deeply obliquely 
immersed in the first of the succeeding whorls, above which only a 
portion of the last two volutions project. Post-nuclear whorls moder- 
ately rounded, slightly contracted at the sutures, feebly shouldered 
at the summits, marked between the sutures by four broad low spiral 
bands which are separated by narrow, deeply incised lines. In addi- 
tion to these bands, the first three and one-half whorls are marked by 
feeble axial ribs which are best developed near the summit of the 
whorls and scarcely reach the suture. The junction of the ribs and 
cords form weak nodules. Sutures strongly impressed but not chan- 
neled. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded, marked by a low 
spiral cord. Base strongly rounded posteriorly, attenuated anteriorly, 
marked by seven spiral cords, which grow successively weaker from 
the periphery toward the umbilical region and are separated by 
slender, deeply-incised spiral lines. Aperture large, broadly oval; 
posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture 
within; columella moderately strong, curved, reflected, and reinforced 
by the base; provided with an oblique fold at its insertion.

ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) SANCTORUM, new species. 


Plate 18, fig. 1. 


Shell elongate-ovate, light yellow. Nuclear whorls smooth, deeply 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls 
moderately rounded, very slightly contracted at the sutures, moder- 
ately shouldered at the summits, marked by a strongly incised spiral 
line a little distance below the summit, and three feeble ones of which 
one is at the periphery, the other two dividing the space between 
those two into three equal areas. These lines, excepting the one near 
the summit, which is strong throughout, are best developed on the 
early whorls. In addition to the spiral sculpture, the whorls are 
marked between the sutures by strong lines of growth and indica- 
tions of feeble axial ribs which tend to render the early whorls some- 
what nodulous. Sutures strongly impressed. Periphery of the last 
whorl strongly inflated. Base well rounded posteriorly, slightly at- 
tenuated anteriorly, marked by six well incised equal and subequally 
spaced spiral grooves which are crossed by many slender axial 
threads. Aperture large, oval, effuse anteriorly; posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; colu- 
mella moderately strong, curved, reflected, reinforced by the base, 
provided with a deep-seated fold. 

The type and three specimens (Cat. no. 46499, U.S.N.M.) comes 
from Todos Santos Bay, Lower California. The type has four and 
one-half post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.5 mm., diame- 
ter 1.3 mm. Cat. no. 206803, U.S.N.M., three from San Hipolito 
Point, Lower California.

constricted at the sutures and appressed at the summits, marked 
by six spiral cords between the sutures, of which the second and 
third below the summit are very narrow, occupying together about 
as much space as one of the other cords. These cords are separated 
by grooves which almost equal them. Axial sculpture reduced to 
feeble indications of ribs which are best shown near the summit of 
the whorls, where they render the spiral keels feebly nodulous. About 
twenty-two of these ribs appear upon the penultimate whorl. Periph- 
ery and base of the last whorl well rounded, marked by seven spiral 
keels, which grow successively weaker from the periphery to the um- 
bilical area. Channels separating the cords narrow, well incised, 
crossed by numerous slender axial threads. Aperture large, broadly 
ovate, posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; columella moderately 
strong, curved, slightly reflected; parietal wall glazed with a thin 
callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 162775, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Diego, Cali- 
fornia. It has four post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 1.8 
mm., diameter 1.1 mm. 


ODOSTOMIA (CHRYSALLIDA) ROTUNDATA Carpenter. 
Plate 18, fig. 4. 


Chrysallida rotundata CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan shells, 1856, p. 418. 


Shell ovate. Nuclear whorls two and one-half, forming a depressed 
helicoid spire whose axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding 
turns. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, moderately contracted at 
the sutures, very slightly shouldered at the summit, marked by five 
strong spiral keels on all the whorls between the sutures, excepting 
the first which has four and obsolete axial ribs on the first two. 
These axial ribs are best expressed near the summit of the whorls, 
searcely reaching the suture, and rendering the spiral cords feebly 
tuberculate. On the last whorl the axial sculpture is reduced to 
numerous raised axial threads, like those between the cords on the 
base. Suture poorly defined. Base of the last whorl well rounded, 
marked by six spiral cords of which the two anterior ones are a little 
weaker than the rest; separated by spaces which are a little narrower 
than the cords and crossed by numerous fine axial threads. Aperture 
pyriform, posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external 
sculpture within; columella stout, curved, provided with a weak 
fold at its insertion; parietal wall covered with a thin callus. 

Nine complete shells and a few fragments were found on Spondylus 
at Mazatlan, Mexico. Tablet 1970, Liverpool collection, British 
Museum, contains two specimens. One of these has four post- 
nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.3 mm., diameter 1.1 mm.

Plate 17, fig. 1. 


Shell ovate, white. Nuclear whorls smooth, deeply obliquely 
immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the 
tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls some- 
what inflated, constricted at the sutures and feebly shouldered at the 
summits, marked by four equal well incised, spiral lines between the 
sutures and numerous very retractive lines of growth, with a few 
feeble indications of axial ribs, at and near the summit, which renders 
the first and sometimes the second space between the incised lines 
below the summit feebly nodulous. Suture strongly impressed. 
Periphery and base of the last whorl somewhat inflated, well rounded, 
marked by seven incised spiral lines, which decrease regularly in 
spacing from the periphery to the umbilical area. Aperture broadly 
oval; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the external 
sculpture within; columella quite strong, strongly curved, provided 
with a strong fold at its insertion; parietal well glazed with a thin 
callus. 

The type and four specimens (Cat. no. 206904, U.S.N.M.) comes 
from San Hipolito Point, Lower California. The type has five post- 
nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.8 mm., diameter 1.3 mm.

Parthenia lacunata CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, p. 414. 

Shell small, oval, white. Nucleus almost completely obliquely 
immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post-nuclear whorls 
flattened, with subtabulated summits and deeply sulcated periphery, 
marked by sublamellar, slightly retractive axial ribs, of which 14 
occur upon the first and second and 18 upon the penultimate turn. 
Intercostal spaces three times as wide as the ribs, smooth. Periphery 
deeply and broadly sulcate, bordered on each side by a low spiral 
cord, crossed by the continuations of the axial ribs. Base of the 
last whorl well rounded, marked by the axial ribs which continue 
almost undiminished to the umbilical chink and about twelve spiral 
lirations. Aperture oval; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, 
showing the external sculpture within; columella slender, curved, 
and slightly revolute; parietal wall covered by a thin callus. 

Doctor Carpenter’s type, which is on tablet 1964 Liverpool collec- 
tion, British Museum, and six specimens were taken from Spondylus 
at Mazatlan, Mexico. The type has four post-nuclear turns and 
measures: Length 1 mm., diameter 0.57 mm.

nuclear whorls slightly rounded, strongly tabulatedly shouldered at 
the summit, and decidedly sulcate at the periphery, marked by 
strong, well-rounded, curved, somewhat retractive axial ribs, of 
which 22 occur upon the second, 26 upon the third, and 30 upon the 
penultimate turn; on the first they are obsolete. Intercostal spaces 
well impressed, about as wide as the ribs. The posterior edge of 
the peripheral sulcus coincides with the summits of the whorls, 
which render the sutures profoundly channeled. The sulcus is bor- 
dered on each side by a well-rounded, slender, spiral cord, which 
forms low tubercles at the junction with the ribs. The peripheral 
sulcus is crossed by the undiminished axial ribs, which break it up 
into a series of deep pits. Base of the last whorl somewhat attenu- 
ated, with a shallow pit at the umbilical region, marked by the con- 
tinuations of the axial ribs, which here have a decidedly retractive 
slant, and about twelve slender, spiral lirations. Aperture oval; 
posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture 
within; columella stout, curved, reénforced by the base, provided 
with a well-developed fold at the insertion of the columella; parietal 
wall covered by a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 106519, U.S.N.M.) and another specimen come 
from Point Abreojos, Lower California. The type has five post- 
nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.2 mm., diameter 1.1 mm. 

Three additional specimens from the same locality have been 
examined in Mr. Delos Arnold’s collection. 

Named for Professor Ewald Poppe.

Shell small, pupiform, white. Nuclear whorls at least two, form- 
ing a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that 
of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-half 
immersed. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, moderately con- 
contracted at the suture, slightly shouldered at the summit, marked 
by strongly raised, narrow, somewhat retractive axial ribs, of which 
12 occur upon the first, 14 upon the second, and about 20 upon

the penultimate turn. In addition to the axial ribs the whorls are 
marked between the sutures by five strong, narrow, spiral keels 
which render the intersections of the ribs cuspidate. Sutures well 
impressed. Periphery and base of the last whorl well rounded, 
marked by the strong continuations of the axial ribs and five spiral 
keels, similar to those between the sutures. Aperture pear-shaped; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella 
strongly curved and revolute, provided with a weak fold at its 
insertion; parietal wall covered with a thin callus. 

The type and another specimen were taken off Spondylus, at Ma- 
zatlan, Mexico. The type has five post-nuclear whorls and measures: 
Length 1.2 mm., diameter 0.48 mm. The type is on tablet 1985, 
Liverpool collection, British Museum. Another specimen taken 
from Chama at Mazatlan, is on tablet 1983, Liverpool collection. 
It is listed as Chrysallida clathratula C. B. Adams.

Odostomias marked with lamellar spiral ridges and equally strong 
lamellar axial ribs, both of which ornament spire and base. 

Type.—Odostomia (Ividia) navisa Dall and Bartsch. 

When we diagnosed /wdia* we unfortunately selected Parthenia 
armata Carpenter as type. Since then we have examined Doctor 
Carpenter’s type of Parthenia armata in the British Museum and 
find that the species must be referred to Muiralda, which necessitates 
the selection of a new type for the group defined. Since this can 
not be done without change of name, we propose /vidella. 

Type.—Odostomia (Ividia) navisa Dall and Bartsch.

with three spiral keels between the sutures, one of which at the 
summit is slender, the other two are strong and equal, the supra- 
peripheral one being about as far posterior to the suture as the one 
at the summit is from its neighbor. In addition to the spiral keels 
the whorls are marked by narrow retractive axial ribs, of which 14 
occur upon the first, 16 upon the second to third, 18 upon the fourth, 
20 upon the fifth and sixth, and 24 upon the penultimate turn. 
The junctions of the axial ribs and spiral keels are somewhat tuber- 
culated, while the spaces inclosed between them are deeply impressed 
pits. A strong keel marks the periphery of the last whorl and 
another equally strong occupies the middle of the base, the space 
between them being a concave channel, which, like the one posterior 
to the peripheral keel, is crossed by the axial ribs. The axial ribs 
become much enfeebled as they pass over the basal keel and are 
almost obsolete on the spaces anterior to it. Aperture irregularly 
oval; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, rendered angular by the 
ane keels; columella very strong, almost cabal slightly reflected 
parietal val covered by a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 107422, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Pedro, Cali- 
fornia. It has eight peeeati cleat whorls, and measures: Denetn 
6.7 mm., diameter 2.5 mm.

Shell of medium size, strongly sculptured, subdiaphanous to milk- 
white. Nuclear whorls at least two, obliquely a little more than half 
immersed. Post-nuclear whorls strongly shouldered, subtabulated, 
with a strong, broad, spiral keel limiting the anterior edge of the 
shoulder and an acute raised keel on the middle of the whorls

between the sutures, while a third equally acute keel marks the 
periphery of the last whorl. Two other keels ornament the base, 
the anterior one of which is not quite as strong as its neighbor. The 
axial sculpture consists of narrow, more or less lamellar, almost 
vertical ribs, which render the intersection with the spiral keels 
somewhat thickened, but not nodulose. These axial ribs extend over 
the periphery and base of the last whorl to the umbilical region, grad- 
ually growing weaker as they approach this point. There are about 
18 on the second and 20 upon the penultimate whorl. The spaces 
between the ribs and keels appear as concave quadrangular depres- 
sions. Umbilicus narrowly perforated. Suture deeply channeled 
by the shouldered whorl. Aperture suboval, posterior angle decidedly 
obtuse; outer lip thick, marked by 5 projections, corresponding to 
the 5 keels; columella almost straight, strongly revolute with a 
conspicuous oblique fold near its insertion; parietal wall covered by 
a faint callus showing both basal keels, the anterior faint and just pos- 
terior to the insertion of the columella and the next on the middle of 
the wall. 

The type has 5 post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.7 mm., 
diameter 1.3 mm. It and three additional specimens (Cat. no. 
106502, U.S.N.M.) were collected by Mr. Henry Hemphill at Scam- 
mon Lagoon, Lower California. Three additional lots arein the U.S. 
National Museum collection: Cat. no. 129336, 30 specimens collected 
by Mrs. T. S. Oldroyd in the drift at San Pedro; Cat. no. 162843, 3

whorls are marked by six strong spiral cords, one of which is at the 
angle of the shoulder and another at the periphery, the third falls a 
little anterior to the suture, while the other three divide the remainder 
of the base into four almost equal parts. Aperture oval, posterior 
angle obtuse; outer lip thin, rendered angulated by the spiral cords; 
columella slender, curved, and somewhat revolute, provided with 
an oblique fold at its insertion; parietal wall covered with a strong 
callus. 

Two specimens were taken off Spondylus, at Mazatlan, Mexico.

Shell elongate, conic, turreted; milk-white. Nuclear whorls deeply 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls 
strongly tabulately shouldered at the summit, flat in the middle, 
sloping suddenly toward the suture; ornamented by slender axial 
ribs, of which 15 occur upon the second and 18 upon the remaining 
whorls. In addition to the axial ribs, the whorls are marked between 
the sutures by two strong spiral keels, one of which is situated at the 
angle of the shoulder, the other at the posterior termination of the 
anterior third between the sutures. The junctions of the axial ribs 
and spiral keels are very slightly nodulous. Sutures deeply chan- 
neled. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded, marked by a spiral 
keel. Base well rounded, marked by two spiral keels, which divide 
the space between the peripheral keel and the umbilical area into 
three equal parts, and the continuation of the axial ribs, which are 
fainter on the base than on the spire. Aperture ovate; posterior 
angle obtuse; outer lip thin, rendered angular by the keels; columella 
slender, decidedly curved, reénforced by the base; parietal wall cov- 
ered with a thin callus. 

The type, which is at Amherst College, was collected by Prof. C. B. 
Adams at Panama. It has six post-nuclear whorls and measures: 
Length 2 mm., diameter 0.8 mm.

Shell elongate-ovate, white. Nuclear whorls obliquely immersed, 
only the tilted edge of the last volution is visible. Post-nuclear 
whorls marked by two very strongly elevated spiral keels which 
divide the space between the sutures into three equal parts. The 
posterior of these keels shows weak crenulation. Periphery of the 
last whorl marked by a third keel which is almost as strong as those 
on the spire. A fourth keel considerably less strong occupies the 
middle of the base. The rounded spaces between the keels are 
marked by feeble lines of growth. Aperture irregularly oval; pos- 
terior angle obtuse; outer lip angulated by the keels; columella 
strong, reflected, provided with a weak fold at insertion; parietal wall

strong spiral lamelle, the first of which renders the summit of the 
whorls decidedly tabulated, while the second one is situated a little 
posterior to the posterior termination of the anterior third between 
the sutures. Both lamellez are faintly nodulous; the posterior one 
slightly more so than the anterior. The deep channel between the 
two keels is marked by very feeble slender axial threads. Periphery 
of the last whorl marked by a lamella a little less strong than those 
between the sutures. Base with two lamella, the anterior of which is 
immediately behind the columella and much less developed than the 
median one, which is somewhat weaker than the peripheral lamella. 
The depressed spaces between these lamelle are crossed by axial 
threads, as on the spire. Aperture irregularly ovate; posterior angle 
decidedly obtuse; outer lip rendered angular by the spiral lamelle; 
columella strong, somewhat twisted, reénforced by the base.

Post-nuclear whorls with the summits appressed, marked by two 
strong, spiral keels petween the sutures, a third at the periphery, 
and a fourth on the middle of the base, the last two somewhat less 
strong than the rest. The posterior keel forms the strong tabula- 
tion at the summit of the whorls and is strongly tuberculated, 14 
tubercles appearing upon the second and 20 upon the remaining 
whorls. The space between the keels is marked by rather strong 
lines of growth. The greatest convexity coincides with the super- 
peripheral keel. Aperture irregularly ovate, somewhat effuse ante- 
riorly; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip angulated by the keels, 
thin, showing the external markings within; columella strong, curved, 
without visible fold in the aperture; reénforced by the base; parietal

Post-nuclear whorls rather broad between the sutures, well rounded, 
faintly shouldered at the summit, ornamented with depressed, 
rounded, rather broad axial ribs, about 18 of which occur upon the 
second, 20 on the third, and 18 upon the penultimate whorl. The 
ribs are best developed near the summits of the whorls and scarcely 
extend to the periphery. Spiral lirations low, rounded, subequal, 
about 12 occur between the sutures upon the third and the penulti- 
mate whorls. These spiral lirations like the axial ribs appear strong- 
est near the summits of the whorls, Periphery and base of the last

whorl well rounded, the latter ornamented by about eleven lirations, 
which are similar in character to those between the sutures but much 
less strongly expressed. Aperture rather broad, suboval, somewhat 
effuse anteriorly, posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; columella 
short, somewhat curved, strongly revolute anteriorly, having a weak 
oblique fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 168718, U.S.N.M.) and nine specimens come 
from San Pedro, California. It has five post-nuclear whorls and

Plate 20, fig. 6. 
Dunkeria intermedia CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, pp. 435, 436. 

Shell elongate-ovate, white. Nuclear whorls large, two and one- 
half, forming a depressed helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles 
to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one- 
fifth immersed. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, marked by very 
much enfeebled indications of axial ribs, which are best shown at the 
summit of the whorls, and broad low spiral lirations, of which 7 occur 
between the sutures. Periphery and base of the last whorl well 
rounded, marked by eight low spiral cords, which are somewhat closer 
spaced about the umbilicus. Aperture oval; outer lip thin, showing 
the external sculpture within; columella slender and curved. 

The type and another specimen were taken off Spondylus, at Mazat- 
lan, Mexico. It has three post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length

1907, p. 519, pl. 46, figs. 9, 9a. 

Shell broadly conic, yellowish-white. Nucleus small, of two whorls 
which increase extremely rapidly in size and are obliquely placed. 
Post-nuclear whorls very strongly shouldered, marked by three very 
strong lamellar spiral keels on the first and second and four on the 
succeeding whorls between the sutures. The posterior keel marks the 
limit of the broad, sloping shoulder and is much the strongest. It 
is also placed a little farther apart from the next spiral keel than that 
is from its anterior neighbor. Base of the last whorl well rounded; 
ornamented by eight spiral ridges, which are less elevated and much 
more closely and regularly spaced than those between the sutures. 
The peripheral groove is about equal in width to the one anterior to 
the posterior keel. The entire shell is marked by fine, sublamellar, 
regularly spaced, retractive axial ribs, which render the spiral keels 
somewhat crenulated at their meeting points and break the spaces 
between them into small squares or oblongs. These riblets extend 
from the sutures to the small umbilicus. Aperture subovate, poste- 
rior angle obtuse; outer lip thin, somewhat wavy, showing the 
external sculpture within; columella moderately stout, somewhat 
curved and strongly revolute, having an oblique fold near its insertion 
which is barely visible when the aperture is viewed squarely; parietal 
wall covered by a fairly thick callus. 

The type and another specimen (Cat. no. 105483, U.S.N.M.) were 
collected at Pomt Abreojos, Lower California, by Mr. Henry Hemp- 
hill. It has six post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 4.4 mm., 
diameter 2.3 mm.

Plate 20, figs. 10, 10a. 


Shell elongate-conic, subdiaphanous to milk-white. Nuclear whorls 
deeply obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above 
which only the tilted edge of the last one projects. Post-nuclear 
whorls somewhat contracted at the periphery, very strongly slopingly 
shouldered at the summit, marked by three strong lamellar keels 
between the sutures, of which the middle one is a little nearer to its 
anterior neighbor than to the posterior, the latter being about as far 
from the summit as it is from the median keel. The deep channels 
between the keels and the shoulders are crossed by slender axial rib- 
lets which have a protractive slant on the shoulder and are decidedly 
retractive in the channels. Periphery of the last whorl marked by a 
keel a little weaker than those between the sutures. Base short, well 
rounded, narrowly umbilicated, marked by three spiral cords and a 
slender raised thread about the umbilicus, the channels bounding the 
peripheral cord and those of the base are crossed by riblets as on 
the spire. Aperture large; posterior angle obtuse; outer lip rendered 
angulated by the keels, thus showing the external sculpture within; 
columella slender, very strongly curved, slightly reflected, provided with 
a weak fold at its insertion; parietal wall covered with a weak callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 106501, U.S.N.M.) comes from Point Abreojos,

Odostomia (Oscilla) grammatospira Datu and Bartscu, Mem. Cal. Acad. Sci., 
vol. 3, 1903, p. 285, pl. 1, figs. 6, 6a. 

Shell elongate-conic, semitranslucent. Nuclear whorls small, form- 
ing a depressed helicoid spire, which is a little more than half ob- 
liquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post-nuclear 
whorls moderately rounded, marked by four strong, equal, and al- 
most equally spaced spiral cords which are separated by three well- 
incised spiral grooves. Suture subchanneled. -Periphery of the last 
whorl marked by a depressed cord which is not quite as strong as 
those between the sutures. Base somewhat attenuated, well rounded, 
marked by ten spiral cords which grow successively weaker and 
closer spaced from the periphery toward the umbilical area, disap- 
pearing altogether on the extreme anterior portion. The spaces be- 
tween the spiral cords on spire and base are marked by slender axial 
threads. Aperture oval, effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute; 
outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within, rendered wavy 
by the keels; columella stout, reflected, reénforced by the base, pro- 
vided with a weak fold at its insertion; parietal wall glazed with a 
faint callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 161625, U.S.N.M.) was collected at Cape St. 
Lucas, Lower California. It has eight post-nuclear whorls and 
measures: Length 5.3 mm., diameter 2.1 mm. 


ODOSTOMIA (MENESTHO) PHARCIDA Dall and Bartsch.

1897, p. 14, pl. 1, fig. 10; not Odostomia tenuis CARPENTER, 1856, nor 
Odostomia tenuis JEFFREY, 1884. 


Shell small, subeylindric, yellowish-white. Nuclear whorls deeply 
immersed, a portion of the last and the penultimate only appear when 
viewed from the side; this gives the shell a truncated appearance. 
Post-nuclear whorls moderately well rounded, rather wide between 
the sutures, and somewhat shouldered at the summits; ornamented 
by strong, low, rounded spiral cords, which are separated by moder- 
ately deep, narrow, depressed channels. Six of these cords occur 
upon the first, 7 upon the second to the penultimate whorl between 
the sutures; the posterior cord is a little broader and less elevated 
than the rest, while some of those on the penultimate turn show a 
tendency to divide—that is, a faint spiral line is apparent on the mid- 
dle of some of these cords. Sutures well impressed. Periphery and 
base of the last whorl well rounded, the latter ornamented by eight 
rounded spiral cords similar to those between the sutures. The 


186 BULLETIN 68, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 


spaces between the spiral ridges on the base and between the sutures 
are marked by closely placed, exceedingly slender, raised axial 
threads. Aperture pyriform, somewhat effuse anteriorly, posterior 
angle acute; columella short, curved, reénforced by the attenuated 
base, free only at its extreme anterior end, with an oblique fold near 
its insertion; parietal wall covered by a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 107440, U.S.N.M.) was dredged by Dr. C. F. 
Newcombe, in 10 to 15 fathoms, at Cumshewa Inlet, Queen Charlotte 
Island, British Columbia. It has four post- soveeer ees which 
measure: Length 2.2 mm., diameter 0.9 mm.

Odostomia (Menestho) exara Dati and Barrscu, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 33, 
1907, pp. 521, 522, pl. 46, fig. 6. 

Shell. elongate-ovate, subdiaphanous. Nuclear whorls smooth, 
deeply immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, only a part of 
the last one appearing above it. Post-nuclear whorls somewhat 
inflated, well rounded, marked on the first whorl by 8, on the second 
by 12, on the third by 14, and on the penultimate between the sutures 
by 20 subequal and equally spaced, low, depressed spiral cords which 
are separated by narrower channels. Periphery and base of the last 
whorl inflated, sculptured like the spire by probably 20 spiral cords. 
Tn addition to the spiral sculpture the entire surface is marked by fine 
incremental lines which are best marked in the spaces between the 
cords. - Aperture oval, somewhat effuse anteriorly; posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; columella 
decidedly curved, reénforced by the attenuated base, free only at its 
anterior extremity, where it is somewhat revolute, provided with a 
prominent fold at its insertion which appears as the thickened inflec- 
tion of the columella; parietal wall covered by a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 196250, U.S.N.M.) comes from Pacific Grove, 
Monterey, California. It has five post-nuclear whorls and measures: 
Length 3.9 mm., diameter 2.1 mm. 


ODOSTOMIA (MENESTHO) ZIZIPHINA Carpenter. 
Plate 20, fig. 2. 
Parthenia ziziphina CARPENTER, Cat. Mazatlan Shells, 1856, p. 416. 


Shell conic, white. Nucleus mammillated. Post-nuclear whorls 
marked by five spiral lirations of which two appear between the 
sutures, one at the periphery and two on the base. Columella with 
an oblique fold. 

To the above, Doctor Carpenter adds: “Tablet 1967 (Liverpool col- 
lection) contains a small Ziziphinus-shaped shell, very young, dif-

fering from P. exarata in the number and strength of spiral ridges. 
Length 0.65 mm., diameter 0.55 mm. One specimen was taken 
from Chama at Mazatlan, Mexico.’ 

From an examination of the type we are able to add that it is a 
much worn, young, and distorted Menestho. 


ODOSTOMIA (MENESTHO) RECTA de Folin. 


Odetta recta DE Foutn, Les Fonds de la Mer, vol. 2, 1872, pp. 167, 168. 


Shell conic, ventricose, subcrystalline, robust, with straight spire. 
Nuclear whorls three, forming an acute apex, having their axis at 
right angles to that of the succeeding turn. Post-nuclear whorls 
four, marked by three broad, strong, somewhat rounded, spiral keels 
between the sutures, the spaces between which are less wide than 
the keels. Sutures ill defined. Last whorl almost equal to half the 
length of the shell. Base marked by less developed spiral cords. 
Aperture oval; columella provided with a strong fold. 

De Folin’s type, which was unfortunately crushed by him while 
being drawn, comes from the Margarita Island, Bay of Panama.. It 
had four post-nuclear whorlsand measured: Length 2.0 mm., diameter 
1.1 mm. 

ODOSTOMIA (MENESTHO) AMILDA, new species. 


Plate 21, fig. 4. 


Shell ovate, transparent. Nuclear whorls deeply obliquely 
immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only 
the tilted edge of the last whorl projects. Post-nuclear whorls well 
rounded, slightly contracted at the sutures, and somewhat shoul- 
dered at the summits, the first marked by four slender equal and 
subequally spaced incised spiral lines; the rest are marked by a 
strongly incised groove a little below the summit which causes this 
to appear bounded by a well-rounded cord; the remainder of the 
whorls between the sutures show a few distantly spaced and feebly 
incised spiral lines and numerous very fine, decidedly retractive 
lines of growth. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base 
somewhat inflated, well rounded, slightly attenuated anteriorly, 
marked by numerous exceedingly fine, microscopic spiral striations 
and three well incised equal and equally spaced lines on the anterior 
half. Aperture oval, somewhat effuse anteriorly; posterior angle 
obtuse; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; col- 
umella slender, decidedly curved, somewhat reflected, reénforced by 
the base; provided with a strong fold at its insertion. 

The type (Cat. no, 60905, U.S.N.M.) comes from San Diego, 
California. It has four post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 
2.6 mm., diameter 1.3 mm. Two additional specimens (Cat. no.

Shell oblong-ovate, somewhat ventricose, white. Nuclear whorls 
nearly haif immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post- 
nuclear whorls somewhat inflated, moderately contracted at the 
periphery and moderately shouldered at the summit, marked by 
strong spiral cords of which 2 appear upon the first, 3 upon the sec- 
ond, and 44 upon the penultimate turn between the sutures. These 
cords are separated by well impressed, narrow, spiral grooves which 
are crossed by slender axial threads. Periphery and base of the last 
whorl well rounded, marked by four spiral cords, similar to those on 
the spire, the space between which is ornamented like the grooves in 
the spire. Aperture oval; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, show- 
ing the external sculpture within; columella slender, somewhat 
curved and slightly reflected, provided with a fold at its insertion. 

The type was collected at Margarita Island, Bay of Panama. It

Plate 20, figs. 1, 1a. 


Shell elongate, ovate, cream-colored. Nuclear whorls at least two, 
marked with three slender, spiral lirations, the apex being deeply 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. The junc- 
tion of the nucleus and the post-nuclear whorls is marked by a varix. 
Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, marked by three equal and sub- 
equally spaced spiral grooves which are crossed by slender axial 
riblets, the combination of grooves and ribs giving the whorls a 
pitted appearance. The four raised spaces bounded by the spiral 
grooves are finely spirally striated. Suture deeply channeled. 
Periphery of the last whorl marked by a spiral groove. Base of the 
last whorl well rounded, marked by four incised lines on the posterior 
two-thirds, which are equally spaced but grow successively weaker. 
The peripheral and first subperipheral channel are equal to those on 
the spire; all are rendered pitted by the slender axial riblets. An- 
terior third smooth. Aperture broadly oval, somewhat effuse an- 
teriorly; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; columella slender, 
curved, somewhat reflected and reénforced by the base; parietal wall

three of which divide the posterior two-thirds between the sutures 
into three almost equal areas, while the fourth is at the periphery. 
The space between the peripheral grooves and the one posterior to 
it is equal to one-third the space between the sutures. These grooves 
‘as well as those on the base are crossed by many slender axial riblets 
which break them up into pits. The raised spaces between the 
grooves are marked by slender lines of growth and many extremely 
fine spiral striations. Suture well impressed. Base of the last 
whorl well rounded, marked by seven pitted, well incised lines and 
microscopic spiral striations. Aperture broadly ovate; posterior 
angle acute; outer lip thin; columella slender, curved, decidedly revo- 
lute, provided with a strong oblique fold at its insertion; parietal 
wall covered with a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 109363 U.S.N.M.) was taken from the anchor 
of the Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross at Tome, Chile. It is 
a fragment consisting of the last three whorls (the nucleus and prob- 
ably the first two post-nuclear whorls being lost), and measures: 
Length 2.3 mm., diameter 1.2 mm.

Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, moderately contracted at the 
sutures and slightly shouldered at the summit, marked by four strong 
flattened cords which grow successively a little weaker from the sum- 
mit to the periphery, separated by narrow, deeply incised spiral 
grooves. Periphery of the last whorl marked by a broad, flat cord 
somewhat wider than the first supra-peripheral one. Base of the 
last whorl somewhat attenuated anteriorly, well rounded, marked by 
eleven equal and equally narrow, rounded, spiral cords. In addition 
to this sculpture, there are many very fine incised spiral lines and 
decidedly retractive axial lines of growth on the spire and_ base. 
Aperture broadly oval, slightly effuse anteriorly, posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture within; colu- 
mella moderately strong, slightly curved, somewhat reflected, com- 
pletely reénforced by the base, provided with a strong fold at its

Shell elongate-ovate, semitranslucent. Nuclear whorls deeply 
obliquely immersed, the tilted edge of the last only being visible. 
Post-nuclear whorls rounded, somewhat inflated, marked by strong, 
well-rounded, equal spiral keels, of which 4 occur upon the first, 5 
on the second, and 6 between the sutures upon the penultimate 
turn, half of the peripheral one falling in the suture; here too there 
is a tendency in the one at the summit to become split. Periphery 
and base of the last whorl well rounded, marked by six spiral cords, 
which grow successively weaker from the periphery to the base. 
Spaces between the cords and spire and base narrow, marked by 


-numerous, decidedly retractive axial threads. Suture well im- 


pressed. Aperture broadly oval, somewhat effuse anteriorly; pos- 
terior angle acute; outer lip thin, showing the external sculpture 
within; columella strong, decidedly reflected anteriorly, reénforced

Shell elongate-ovate, bluish-white. Nuclear whorls smooth, ob- 
liquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, only two- 
thirds of the last volution projects above them. Post-nuclear whorls 
well rounded and somewhat inflated, marked by numerous incre- 
mental lines and five equally strong, but irregularly distributed, 
punctate, incised, spiral lines between the sutures. The two near 
the summit are placed closer to each other than any of the others, the 
space between the summits and the second line being about equal to 
the space inclosed between the first and second supra-peripheral 
lines. The third line falls on about the middle of the exposed por- 
tion of the whorls and is a little nearer to the second line than the

one anterior to it. In addition to these five strongly incised lines 
there are numerous very fine and closely spaced spiral striz which 
cross all parts of the surface of the shell. Periphery and base of 
the last turn inflated, the latter marked by lines of growth and eight 
strongly incised, punctate spiral lines, which are a little less strongly 
impressed and a little more closely spaced at the umbilical area than

obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post-nuclear 
whorls somewhat inflatedly rounded, with well-rounded summits. 
Entire surface marked by fine lines of growth and numerous very 
fine, closely spaced, wavy, spiral striations. Sutures strongly 
impressed. Periphery of the last whorl and base well rounded, the 
latter quite strongly inflated. Aperture broadly ovate, somewhat 
effuse anteriorly, posterior angle acute; outer lip broadly curved, 
thin; columella slender, curved, and reflected, free from the base, 
forming a suggestion of an umbilicus; columellar fold slender, situ- 
ated a little below the insertion of the columella; parietal wall covered 
by a thin callus. 

The above description is based upon two individuals which, together

Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. 15, 1865, p. 394. 


Shell elongate-ovate, white. Nuclear whorls very small, smooth, 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only the last one is visible. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, a little 
more abruptly so on the posterior third between the sutures. Sum- 
mits very narrowly flattened which renders the sutures well marked. 
Periphery of the last whorl slightly angulated. Base slightly con- 
tracted, moderately rounded between the periphery and umbilical 
area, narrowly produced to reénforce the columella. Entire surface 
marked by numerous somewhat wavy, subequal and subequally 
spaced minute slender spiral lirations, of which there are about 35

anteriorly; posterior angle acute, outer lip thin at the edge, thick 
within; columella curved, somewhat reflected, reénforced by the 
attenuated base, and provided with a strong oblique fold at its 
insertion. 

The two cotypes (Cat. no. 15521c, U.S.N.M.) were collected by 
Colonel Jewett at Santa Barbara, California. One is a young speci- 
men consisting of the nucleus and three post-nuclear whorls; the other 
has lost the nucleus and probably the first two post-nuclear turns; the 
five which remain measure: Length 6.1 mm., diameter 3.3 mm.

sutures well marked. Periphery of the last whorl subangulated. 
Base attenuated, rather suddenly contracted below the periphery, 
which gives the space between the periphery and the umbilical area 
a concave aspect. Entire surface marked by fine lines of growth and 
many fine, closely placed spiral lirations, five of which are a little 
stronger than the rest and divide the space between the sutures into 
subequal areas. There are about 30 of these threads upon the last 
turn between the summit and the periphery and about 60 on the base. 
Aperture very large, patulous anteriorly; outer lip thin at the edge 
but very thick within; columella decidedly curved, and revolute, 
reénforced to the very edge by the attenuated base, provided with a 
strong oblique fold at its insertion. 

The type and a young individual (Cat no. 155216) were collected 
by J. G. Swan at Neah Bay, Washington. It has the last four whorls 
(the nucleus and probably the first us -nuclear turn being lost) and 
measures: Length 6.2 mm., diameter 3.8 mm.

Shell elongate-ovate, yellowish, with the early whorls spirally lirate 
and the later ones only obsoletely so. Nuclear whorls small, smooth, 
obliquely, almost completely, immersed in the first of the succeeding 
turns. Post-nuclear whorls evenly well-rounded with appressed sum- 
mits. The first three marked between the sutures by many subequal 
liree of which there are about fifteen on the second turn. On the last 
two turns these lirations become quite obsolete. Periphery and base 
of the last whorl inflated and well rounded, marked by very feeble 
spiral striation and lines of growth. Aperture moderately large, oval; 
somewhat effuse anteriorly; posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; 
columella strongly curved, reénforced partly by the attenuated base, 
moderately reflected anteriorly, bearing a strong fold at its insertion, 
which appears as if it were the inflected termination of the columella. 

Doctor Carpenter’s type (Cat. no. 15520, U.S.N.M.) is a young 
individual. It was collected by J. G. Swan at Neah Bay, Washington, 
has three post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 2.3 mm., 
diameter 1.7 mm. The adult characters were described from two 
specimens (Cat. no. 46483, U.S.N.M.) collected by J. G. Swan at 
Neah Bay, Washington. One of these, the one figured, has six post- 
nuclear whorls and measures: Length 5.3 mm., diameter 2.9 mm. 
A specimen collected by Merrihew (Cat. no. 196247, U.S.N.M.), at 
Port Harford, California, bears a slender raised cord on the periph- 
ery of the whorl. 

The large series of specimens in the U. S. National Museum proves 
conclusively that O. straminea Carpenter is the smooth southern rep- 
resentative of this species.

ODOSTOMIA (AMAURA) LASTRA, new species. 
Plate 28, fig. 7. 


Shell thin, large, elongate-ovate, tapering very regularly to an 
acute point, narrowly umbilicated. Nuclear whorls very small, 
deeply obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding whorls, above 
which only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear 
whorls well rounded, moderately constricted at the sutures and nar- 
rowly shouldered at the summit, marked by numerous slender wavy 
spiral striations and fine lines of growth which give the surface a 
somewhat malleated appearance. Periphery and base of the last 
_ whorl strongly rounded, the latter narrowly umbilicated, marked 
like the spire. Aperture large, broadly oval, slightly effuse anteriorly ; 
posterior angle acute; outer lip thin; columella slender, very oblique, 
almost straight and somewhat reflected; parietal wall glazed with a 
thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 206928, U.S.N.M.) was dredged at U. S. Bureau 
of Fisheries station 2917, in 90 fathoms, temperature 49°.1, off 
southern California. It has eight post-nuclear whorls and measures: 
Length 13.6 mm., diameter 7 mm. Other specimens examined are 
as follows: One, Cat. no. 170794, U.S.N.M., from Santa Catalina 
Channel, California; one dredged by University of California at sta- 
tion 21 (3), off Santa Catalina Island, University of California coll. ;

Shell large, very thin, broadly conic, umbilicated, yellowish-white; 
marked by subobsolete, subequal, and subequally spaced spiral 
wrinkles, about fifteen of which may be seen on the body and base of 
the last whorl. In addition to these wrinkles, many faint, closely 
placed spiral and vertical striae are present. Nuclear whorls small, 
about two and one-half, forming a depressed spire which is deeply 
immersed, the axis of which is almost at right angles to the axis of

the latter whorls. Post-nuclear whorls very wide, inflated, well 
rounded, faintly shouldered at the summit. Suture wel marked, 
simple. Periphery and base of the last whorl inflated, well rounded, 
the latter decidedly contracted and narrowly umbilicated. Aperture 
large, suboval, somewhat effuse anteriorly; posterior angle obtuse; 
outer lip thin; columella straight, obliquely inserted, revolute, not 
reénforced by the base, with an oblique weak fold near its insertion; 
parietal wall apparently without a callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 150564, U.S.N.M.) was collected by Rev. G. W. 
Taylor at Nanaimo, British Columbia. It has six post-nuclear whorls 
which measure: Length 10.2 mm., diameter 6 mm. 

Two other specimens (Cat. no. 4493b, U.S.N.M.) were collected by 
Doctor Kennerley at Puget Sound, Washington, and another (Cat. 
no. 129121) by Prof. O. B. Johnson, at Seattle, Washington. 


ODOSTOMIA (AMAURA) ELSA, new species.

Shell ovate, umbilicated, yellowish white. Nuclear whorls very 
small, deeply immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. Post- 
nuclear whorls well rounded, with strongly concave summits, form- 
ing deeply channeled sutures, marked by slightly retractive lines 
of growth, and exceedingly fine, closely placed, wavy spiral stria- 
tions. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base short, 
inflated, moderately umbilicated, marked like the spire. Aperture 
ovate, posterior angle obtuse; columella curved, slightly reflected, 
not reénforced by the base, provided with an oblique fold some little 
distance anterior to its insertion; parietal wall covered by a thin 
callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 55811, U.S.N.M.) was collected by W. J. Fisher

U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 33, 1907, pp. 529-530, pl. 48, figs. 5, 5a. 

Shell of medium size, broadly conic, white. Nuclear whorls at least 
two, forming a depressed spire, the axis of which is almost at a right 
angle to the axis of the iater whorls, and which is deeply, somewhat 
obliquely immersed in the first post-nuclear turn. Post-nuclear whorls 
moderately well rounded, faintly shouldered at the summit, marked 
all over by irregular rough, low, tumescenses, which simulate obso- 
lete vertical ribs. Sutures simple, well marked. Periphery of the 
last whorl well rounded. Base quite short, decidedly rounded, and 
umbilicated. Umbilicus partly covered by the revolute columella. 
Aperture large, very broadly oval, somewhat effuse anteriorly; pos- 
terior angle obtuse; outer lip thick; columella moderately strong, 
oblique, decidedly curved, with a decided oblique fold, situated con- 
siderably anterior to its insertion; parietal wall covered by a fairly 
thick callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 15520, U.S.N.M.) was collected by J. G. Swan 
at Neah Bay, Washington. It has five and one-half whorls which 
measure: Length 6.4 mm., diameter 3.5 mm. 

The specimen upon which Doctor Carpenter fixed the name pupi- 
forms (Cat. no. 15520a, U.S.N.M.), collected by J. G. Swan at Neah 
Bay, Washington, is not worthy of a varietal name. It is a freak, 
having the spire less elevated, which is, perhaps, due to some injury 
received at an early date, evidence of which seems present. It agrees 
perfectly in every detail with the type of satura excepting the shape 
of the spire. 

ODOSTOMIA (AMAURA) FARALLONENSIS, new species. 


Plate 27, fig. 7. 


Shell very elongate-ovate, deeply umbilicated, light yellow. Nu- 
clear whorls very deeply immersed. Post-nuclear whorls very 
slightly rounded in the middle between the sutures, more strongly so 
near the anterior end and toward the summit. Summit strongly 
narrowly tabulate. Periphery of the last whorl inflated. Base very 
strongly suddenly rounded, widely and deeply umbilicated. Entire 
surface marked by numerous fine, closely spaced, spiral striations. 
Aperture broadly ovate, posterior angle obtuse, outer lip thin; colu- 
mella very slender, strongly curved, revolute, provided with a deep 
fold a little below its insertion; parietal wall glazed with a thin 
callus.

The type (Cat. no. 168827 U.S.N.M.) was dredged by the U. S. 
Bureau of Fisheries station 3180, in 24 fathoms, temp. 50.°7, off 
the Farallones Islands, California. It has five post-nuclear whorls, 
and measures: Length 5.5 mm., diameter 2.7 mm. 


ODOSTOMIA (AMAURA) SILLANA, new species. 
Plate 28, fig. 9. 


Shell short, conic, yellowish white. (Nuclear whorls eroded.) 
Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, slightly overhanging. Summits 
appressed, marked by almost vertical lines of growth and numerous 
closely spaced, wavy, microscopic, spiral striations. Suture well 
marked. Periphery of the last whorl well rounded. Base rather 
short, inflated, narrowly umbilicated and marked like the spire. 
Aperture broadly ovate, somewhat effuse anteriorly. Posterior angle 
acute; outer lip thin, strongly curved in the middle; columella slen- 
der, strongly curved and reflected anteriorly, provided with a weak 
fold near its insertion; parietal wall glazed by a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 168809, U.S.N.M.), collected by Doctor Dall 
west of Amaknak Island, Unalaska, in 60 fathoms, on stony bottom. 
It has five and one-half post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 
5.6 mm., diameter 2.8 mm. 


ODOSTOMIA (AMAURA) TALPA, new species. 
Plate 27, fig. 9. 


Shell stout, rough, very broadly conic, narrowly umbilicated. Nu- 
clear whorls small, deeply obliquely immersed in the first post- 
nuclear turn. Post-nuclear whorls with quite strong concavely 
shouldered summits, the rest well rounded (usually showing decided 
erosion marks which coincide largely with the lines of growth). The 
parts bearing the original surface show traces of exceedingly fine 
spiral striations. Periphery and base of the last whorl rather inflated, 
well rounded, the latter narrowly umbilicated, marked like the spire. 
Aperture broadly oval, posterior angle obtuse; outer lip rather thick, 
columella stout, thick, somewhat flexuose and reflected, provided 
with a strong fold a little anterior to the umbilicus; parietal wall 
covered by a thin callus. | 

The type (Cat. no. 204027, U.S.N.M.) has seven post-nuclear whorls, 
and measures: Length 8 mm., diameter 3.8 mm. It and two other 
specimens were collected by Mrs. Kate Stephens at Mole Harbor, 
Alaska. Two additional specimens (Cat. no. 159472 U.S.N.M.) were 
dredged by Doctor Dall in 12 fathoms in Sitka Harbor, Alaska.

BartscuH, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 30, 1906, p. 362, pl. 23, fig. 2. 


Shell elongate-conic, thick and heavy, rough through erosion, yel- 
lowish white. (Nuclear whorls decollated in the type, judging from 
the pit in the apex they are probably deeply, obliquely immersed.) 
Post-nuclear whorls only moderately rounded, somewhat shouldered 
at the summit (surface decidedly eroded). Periphery and base of the 
last whorl well rounded, the latter with a minute umbilical chink. 
Aperture auricular, somewhat effuse anteriorly, posterior angle 
scarcely acute; outer lip very thick, reflexed, pillar with a broad, 
strong, oblique fold, a little anterior to its insertion; parietal wall 
covered by a thick callus. 

The type has six post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 
9.9 mm., diameter 5 mm. It was collected by Krause at Killisnoo, 
which is in Alaska, and not in Japan, as stated by Clessin. The regis- 
tration number of his type in the Berlin Museum is also wrong; the 
specimen described and figured by him is Cat. no. 36335, and not 
Cat. no. 36336, as given in his account of the species. 

The U. S. National Museum has two lots, one specimen (Cat. no. 
159454, U.S.N.M.) from Killisnoo, collected by Krause, and another 
(Cat. no. 159471, U.S.N.M.) from Kadiak. 

The last is in better state of preservation than the rest of the 
material examined; from it we learn that the whorls are strongly 
rounded, subtabulate at the summit and decidedly constricted at 
the sutures, marked by fine, slightly retractive lines of growth and 
exceedingly fine, closely spaced, microscopic spiral striations. Our 
figure is made from this specimen, which has seven post-nuclear 
whorls, which measure: Length 8.8 mm., diameter 4 mm.

closely spaced, wavy, spiral striations. Periphery and base of the 
last whorl inflated, well rounded, the latter narrowly umbilicated, 
both marked by spiral sculpture like that of the spire. Aperture

Shell of medium size, elongate-conic, yellowish-white, the exterior 
surface marked by irregular tumescences, giving it a much worn ap- 
pearance. Nuclear whorls three, deeply immersed, having their axis 
at about a right angle to the axis of the succeeding turns. Post- 
nuclear whorls moderately well rounded, faintly shouldered at the 
summit. Sutures simple, well marked. Periphery and base of the 
last whorl well rounded, the latter somewhat elongated. _Umbilicus 
faint. Aperture quite large, pyriform, posterior angle obtuse, outer 
lip moderately thick; columella very oblique, fairly strong, revolute, 
with a strong fold somewhat anterior to its insertion; parietal wall 
covered with a fairly strong callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 22821, U.S.N.M.) comes from Neah Bay, Wash- 
ington. It has six post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 6.1 
mm., diameter 3.1 mm. 


ODOSTOMIA (AMAURA) ARCTICA, new species. 
Plate 28, fig. 5. 


Shell large, elongate-ovate, straw yellow. (Nuclear whorls decol- 
lated.) Post-nuclear turns well rounded, with subtabulate summits, 
marked by lines of growth and numerous fine, closely-placed, wavy, 
spiral striations. Periphery well rounded. Suture well impressed. 
Base rather elongated, marked like the space between the sutures. 
Aperture pear-shaped, rather narrow posteriorly, and somewhat 
effuse anteriorly, posterior angle rendered obtuse by the tabulation; 
outer lip thin; columella short, curved, slightly reflected, reénforced 
by the attenuated base and provided with a weak fold at its inser- 
tion; parietal wall covered by a thin translucent callus. 

The type has lost the early whorls; the last four and one-half 
only remain, which measure: Length 12.4 mm., diameter 6.5 mm. 

It and another specimen are entered as Cat. no. 168766, U.S.N.M., 
and were collected at U. S. Fish Commission station 3305, southwest 
of Hagemeister Island, Bering Sea, in 23 fathoms, at a bottom

Shell elongate-ovate, imperforate, yellowish white. Nuclear whorls 
decollated. Post-nuclear whorls strongly rounded, moderately con- 
tracted at the sutures, narrowly flatly shouldered at the summit; 
marked by strong lines of growth and subobsolete fine spiral lira- 
tions which lend the surface a somewhat reticulated appearance. 
The spaces between the feeble lirations are marked by numerous 
very fine spiral striations. Periphery of the last whorl and base 
inflated, strongly rounded, marked like the spire. Aperture oval, 
posterior angle obtuse; outer lip thin; columella stout, oblique, 
revolute, provided with a strong fold a little below its insertion.

specimens (Cat. no. 159453, U.S.N.M.) were collected by Doctor Dall, 
at Eider Cove, Captains Bay, Unalaska, in 25 fathoms on sand bot- 
tom. Another specimen (Cat. no. 159465, U.S.N.M.), likewise col- 
lected by Doctor Dall, bears the legend Unalaska, without specific 
locality.

Datu and Bartscu, Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., vol. 33, 1907, p. 516, pl.46, fig. 4. 

Shell large, similar in form to O. (A.) avellana; white, shining. 
Nuclear whorls 3, helicoid, quite elevated, deeply immersed in the first 
of the succeeding whorls, having their axis at a right angle to the axis 
of the later whorls. Post-nuclear whorls well rounded, with a beveled 
shoulder at the summits. Suture well marked, simple. Periphery 
and base of the last whorl well rounded and inflated, the latter some- 
what elongated. Aperture subovate, somewhat effuse anteriorly; 
posterior angle acute; outer lip thin at the edge, thick within; colu- 
mella curved and somewhat revolute, having a prominent oblique fold 
near its insertion; parietal wall covered by a thin callus. 

The type (Cat. no. 46473, U.S.N.M.) is from Monterey, California. 
It has six post-nuclear whorls which measure: Length 9.6 mm., diam- 
eter 5.1 mm. 

In addition to these, others have been named for the University of 
California from Monterey; for Mr. S. S. Berry from 12 fathoms off 
Del Monte, Monterey Bay; for Mrs. Oldroyd from San Pedro, and 
for Mr. Kelsey from San Diego, California. 

This species resembles 0. (A.) avellana Carpenter, but differs 
markedly from that form by having the summits of the whorls 
shouldered. 

ODOSTOMIA (AMAURA) SUBTURRITA, new species. 


Plate 28, fig. 4. 


Shell ovate, light yellow. Nuclear whorls small, deeply obliquely 
immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which. only the 
tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear whorls 
flattened, scarcely at all contracted at the sutures, with a very broad 
tabulate summit, crossed by numerous spiral striations, which are 
a little darker colored than the general surface of the shell. Periphery 
and base of the last whorl somewhat inflated, well rounded, marked 
like the space between the sutures. Aperture large, oblong-ovate, 
slightly effuse anteriorly; posterior angle very obtuse; outer lip 
thick within, thin at the edge; columella curved, somewhat twisted, 
strongly reflected, provided with a strong fold a little anterior to its 
insertion. 

The type (Cat. no. 168801, U.S.N.M.) and nine specimens come 
from San Pedro, California. The type has six post-nuclear whorls 
and measures: Length 6.9 mm., diameter 3.5 mm.

Vert. Paris Basin, 1862, p. 551, pl. 19, figs. 9-11. 


Shell ovoid, heavy, yellowish white. Nuclear whorls small, almost 
completely immersed in the first of the succeeding volutions. Post- 
nuclear whorls increasing regularly and rapidly in size, inflated, 
subtabulately shouldered at the summit, marked by numerous fine 
lines of growth and equally abundant, closely placed, wavy spiral 
striations. These lines of growth and spiral markings give the 
surface a finely reticulated appearance when viewed under high 
magnifications. (We have omitted this sculpture in our drawing, 
which should be considered as an outline sketch only.) Periphery 
and base of the last whorl decidedly rounded and inflated, marked 
like the space between the sutures. Aperture large, suboval, slightly 
effuse anteriorly, posterior angle acute; outer lip sharp at the edge 
but thick within; columella very strong, curved, reénforced by the 
body whorl, from which the slightly reflected edge is separated only 
by a narrow line. A strong oblique fold, not completely visible when 
the aperture is viewed squarely, is located a little anterior to the in- 
sertion of the columella. 

The type has five post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 5.3 
mm., diameter 3.1 mm. Clessin gives the diameter as 1.3, evidently 
a transposition. He also cites the registration number as 36336, while 
it should be 36335. His figure almost represents this species. The 
type comes from Killisnoo, Alaska, not Japan, as cited by Clessin.

ODOSTOMIA (SCALENOSTOMA) DOTELLA, new species. 


Plate 30, fig. 5. 


Shell elongate-conic, vitreous, translucent. Nuclear whorls deeply 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which 
only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. Post-nuclear 
whorls flattened, very strongly angulated at the periphery where they 
are much wider than at the appressed summit. The summit of the 
succeeding turns falls very much anterior to the angulated periphery 
and gives to the whorls a decided overhanging appearance. Base 
well rounded. Entire surface of spire and base marked by numerous, 
almost vertical lines of growth and very many exceedingly fine spiral 
striations. Aperture broadly ovate, posterior angle acute; outer lip 
thin; angulated at the periphery; columella slender, very strongly 
curved and slightly revolute. 

The type (Cat. no. 206934, U.S.N.M.) and six specimens were 
dredged at U.S. Bureau of Fisheries stations 2826-2828, in 94 to 10 
fathoms, off Ceralvo Island, Gulf of California. The type has six post- 
nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.3 mm., diameter 0.8 mm. 
Cat. no. 206935, U.S.N.M., contains six specimens from U.S. Bureau 
of Fisheries station 2823, off La Paz, in 264 fathoms, broken shell 
bottom, off Cacachitas, Gulf of California. These and the next are 
provisionally referred here. One specimen from U. S. Bureau of 
Fisheries station 2822, in 21 fathoms, off La Paz, Mexico (Cat. no. 
206936, U.S.N.M.). 


ODOSTOMIA (SCALENOSTOMA) RANGII de Folin. 
Plate 30, fig. 2. 
Chemnitzia rangii DE Foun, Les Méléagrinicoles, 1867, p. 61, pl. 6, fig. 1. 


Shell elongated-turrited, white. Nuclear whorls small. Post- 
nuclear whorls flat in the middle, somewhat excurved at the summit 
which is closely appressed against the preceding whorl immediately 
anterior to the keel. Periphery of the last whorl marked by a very 
strong acute lamellar keel. Base moderately well rounded. Aper- 
ture irregularly ovate, posterior angle acute; outer lip thin, strongly 
angulated at the periphery; columella curved and reflected; parietal 
wall covered with a thin callus. 

De Folin’s type comes from the Bay of Panama or Negritos Island. 
It has twelve post-nuclear whorls and measures: Length 2.7 mm., 
diameter 1.1 mim.

Odostomia panamensis CLESSIN, Mart. Chem. Conch. Cab., 2d ed., Pyramidellide, 
1900, p. 120, pl. 28, fig. 9. Odostomia (Heida) panamensis (CLESstIN) DALL 
and Bartscu, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 30, 1906, pp. 365, 366, pl. 26, fig. 4. 


Shell small, heavy, elongate-ovate, whorls increasing regularly in 
size, milk white, shining. Nuclear whorls small, almost completely 
obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding volutions. Post- 
nuclear whorls moderately and evenly rounded, of porcellanous tex- 
ture, without any apparent marking, separated by a well marked 
suture. Periphery of the last whorl full and rounded. Base inflated, 
well rounded. Aperture small, decidedly rissoid, almost channeled 
anteriorly, posterior angle acute; outer lip decidedly curved back- 
ward anteriorly, very thick within but beveled to form a sharp edge; 
columella extremely short, somewhat reflected, and connected pos- 
teriorly with the very strong parietal callus, which is fully as thick as 
the edge of the outer lip and connects with it at the posterior angle of 
the aperture, thus forming a complete peristome. A prominent 
oblique fold is present on and a little anterior to the insertion of the 
columella. 

There are two specimens of this species in the Berlin collection from 
Panama. We have considered the best preserved individual, which 
evidently served Clessin for his description and figure as his type, and 
have here rediagnosed and figured it. It has six post-nuclear whorls 
and measures: Length 3.1 mm., diameter 1.5 mm. 

Clessin for some unaccountable reason changed the characters of the 
aperture in the above-cited figure to harmonize with the typical 
Odostomia aperture. He seems to have failed entirely in recognizing 
the peculiarities of the present species. j 

O. (Heida) panamensis Clessin, represents the first member of this 
subgenus on the west coast of America; several additional species 
inhabit the southeast coast.
