P. argentiniis is said to be "much more evoliite and larger than Gottsche's original", but neither description nor measurements were given. However, Jawor- ski's measurement and figures show that the phragmocone of his specimen has much broader whorls than the holotype and that Jaworski's specimen is indeed closely affiliated with P. transatlanti- cus (Tornquist) (Text-figs. 53,54). The inner whorls of the holo- type are unknown because the umbilicus was not developed. The affinities of the Wide Bay form with P. argeyitiniis, prob- ably known only in the holotype, can only be conjectured. The former is almost certainly more evolute (end phragmocone U c. 42-477o '^-y- c. 35%, aperture U 45-50%, vs. 39%). Among the Aus- tralian species, P. leirharti is most closely affiliated but dis- tinguished by less evolute whorls with denser primaries and wider spaced Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Paleontological Research Institution (Ithaca, N.
