the  degree  of  development  of  this  feature  in  diflerent  individuals  suggests  a  doubt  as  to  the

of  the  clay  forming  the  shale — the  whole  being  subjected  to  compression.     From  the  effects  of 

'  compression,  and  the  mode  of  accretion,  the  specimens  are  often  regularly  striated,  as  repre- 

sented in  these  figures ;  and  in  two  specimens  of  0.  subulatum,  illustrated  on  plate  84,  exhibit  ■
