Phila., 1855, p. 414. Near Pem- berton, N. J.} Greensand. Teeth of rostrum well compressed. Front margin evenly con- vex and surface smooth. Hind margin slightly concave, some- times a little oblique on sinistral surface, and each edge distinct or a trifle trenchant or keeled. Distal edge of front margin more suddenly convex than hind margin, and convexity of former begins more distally. Teeth nearly or quite level in horizontal plane to well decurved. Length reaches 96 mm. This species seems to be characterized chiefly by having its rostral teeth considerably curved downward. The type was about 22 cm. long. Formation and locality. The following examples in the col- lection of the Academy, all rostral teeth, have been examined; Monmouth County 1 (P. D. Knieskern) ; Burlington County 1.
