Type of spadicea in Stettin, vitellinus in British Museum. The radula (text-fig. 35) measures 6x2 mm., formula (56 + 1+56) x 145 formed rows; rhachidian and admedians with broad cusps and no ectocones; a minute ectocone appears in some rows in line 11, thence increasing in size, and is present in all rows in line 15, becoming double in some rows in line 25 and in most by line 29, whence the marginals decrease in size, those at extreme edge being rudimentary. On one side of the radula some of the teeth towards the edge are abnormally irregular, Nos. 46-49 in text-figure. In a smaller, perhaps younger, specimen, formula 44 +1 + 44, the ectocone first becomes visible in line 8 and double in line 22. Edouardia caffra (Pfr.). (PI. xiii, f. 24-25.) Ref.
