LOXONEMA COTTERANA. (N. Sp.). Fig. 133. Fig. ISS.—Loxonema Cotterana. Description.—Elongate, fusiform, acute, apical angle, between 25** and 30''; whorls four to six; very depressed convex ; body whorl large, occupying full one-half the whole length of the shell, descend- ing with a uniform convexity into the aperture; aperture elongate ovate, effuse below, columellar lip extending about three-fourths of an inch below the body of the whorl. The suture in the cast deeply excavated, but narrow, the fissure descending into the fossil obliquely downward, the whorl below presenting a sharp edge over it, and the one above, an obtusely convex slope into it; this is the appearance presented when the suture is completely cleared of the shell. Surface unknown. Length, three inches. Length of last whorl measured on a line passing longitudinally along the inner lip, one inch and a half; diam- eter of last whorl, one inch. Dedicated to the discoverer, Miss Catherine Cotter, daughter of Col. G. S. Cotter, of the Township of Dunn. Locality and Formation.—Lake Shore, Township of Dunn. Cor- niferous Limestone. Collector.—Miss Catherine Cotter. Cephalopoda.— (Cuvier). In this class I estimate that there are twenty-five species of the genera Orthoceras, Cyrtoceras, Phragmoceras, Nautilus, and Gonia- 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 Canadian Institute.
