Turbo vrilburerutii STANTOK, U. 8. Geol. Surv.T Bull. 133, 1895, p. 65, pi. 12, fig. 15;<br />

in tho white limestone near Wilbur Springs, Colusa County.<br />

The concise description of Stanton ia:<br />

"Shell of medium size, elongate ovate, consisting of five or six rounded whorla;<br />

suture linear, impressed; surface ornamented with small, elevated, slightly nodose<br />

revolving lines, of which there are about twenty on the body whorl, and about nine<br />

axe visible on the spire."<br />

Height of largest specimen, which is incomplete at the apex, 34 mm.; greatest<br />

breadth, 26 mm<br />

At the type locality near Wilbur Springs, this specics is associated with Rhynchondla<br />

whilneyi, Modiolus major Gabb, Pecten complericosta, Lucina colusaetuit,<br />

and other species of Turbo. Most of the species are also found at other localities<br />

near the base of the Paskenta group.<br />

"TWfce" humeronis Stanton<br />

Turbo ? humerotua STANTON, U. 8. Geol. Surv., Bull. 133, 189$, p. 67, pi. 12, figs. 10,<br />

11; 3 miles south of Lowry's, Tehama County.<br />

This shell is distinguished from preceding species referred to the genus Turbo<br />

by angulated ridge on the upper part of tho hody whorl, and broad ovata, rather than<br />

circular, aperture. It appears to be only doubtfully included in Turbinidae, but to<br />

be more correctly Inoluded in the family to which Ambtrtlya belongB,<br />

Although its locality ia given as 3 miles north of Lowry's, the species is included<br />

in a list (Stanton, 1895, p. 17) from a locality 3 miles south of this place, which seems<br />

to be the mora probable position. It is said to occur also in the white limestone near<br />

Wilbur Springs, Colusa County. Both localities are in the Paskenta group of tho<br />

Shasta series.<br />

ART, Phila. Acad. Nat, Sci., Pr., vol. 78, 1926, p. 426, pi. 23, fig. 3; holotype in<br />

tbe Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, figured.<br />

This species is common in the white limestones of the Paskenta group in tbe<br />

Coast Ranges south of Shasta County. It is recorded from various places, aa near<br />

Wilbur Springs, Colusa County; Morgan Valley, Lake County; west border of<br />

Berryesaa Valley, Napa County; and in the Berkeley Hills, north border of Berkeley.<br />

In nearly all cases it haB been found associated with Aucella of the types found in the<br />

Paskenta group. It may accordingly be regarded as an index fossil of this group.
