The cardinal area of the pedicle \al\e is high and sliiihth- incurved, the delthyrium apparently open. The teeth are supported by thin lamellse, between which are the scars of the muscles.

In front of this platform are two pairs of deep ad- ductor scars. The dental sockets are narrow and deep. —-This species is common at Chazy and Valcour Island, New York, and occurs at many different horizons, but is commonest in the upper di\ision. 26.
