The slightly-turbinatebasal region is covered with a thin concentric epitheca, throughwhich the costations are seen; while its central area forms arounded horizontal section of about 9 millimetres in diameter, ex-hibiting a series of thickened septa, the chief of which extend to apapilla-like columella.
