(A Neotype of C. suffarcinata was selected by Mennessier (1984: 42, 141; pi. 9, figs 9a-c) from the material in the collections of the Geological Survey of Austria, Vienna.) We are uncertain whether the form shown here (Figs and ), obtained from underneath the coral-rudist bed at Lanzing and described as Hexaglauconia (//.) lanzingensis Mennessier, is distinct from C. suffarcinata. It is ornamented by evenly-distributed noded spiral cords, in contrast to the more closely-packed cords present on the type of suffar- cinata 1 = conoideum], but is very similar to the forms of the latter shown in Fig. 3. Lack of sufficient material prevents us from considering the species giebeli and gamsensis (which Mennessie
