Lateral view and whorl section reproduced from Jaworski (1933, pi. 7, fig. 7, and text- fig 6); septal suture reproduced from Kruizinga (1926, Text-fig. on p. 44). Approximately xl. The end of the phragmocone is marked by several approximated septal sutures (see Kruizinga's original figure) at c. 50 mm D; only 1/3 whorl of the body chamber is well preserved while about an additional 1/4 whorl is damaged so that the original maximum diameter was close to 70 mm, approaching the largest specimen described herein. However, none of the body chambers of the New Guinea specimens is as strongly compressed as the holotype (W/H = ; Jaworski's measurement). Fortunately, two partly crushed specimens from Tangi, Wai Miha, Taliabu, in the Sula Islands, were found in Brouwer's collection (Geological Inst., Amsterdam, catalogue No. Z 8639) from which the missing holotype was taken. These specimens bear the original labels "Coeloceras moermanni" and probably are the ones mentioned in the text by Kruizinga (1926, p. 45, 3 rd. line). The larger one of the 'quasi- topotypes' is here figured (Text-fig. 15). There can be little doubt that these specimens are conspecific with the holotype and with the microconchs described herein from West Irian. Significantly,.
