Stewart gives tbe following dimensions for the lectotypei height, 11 nun.; width,<br />
0 mm. As far as information goes at present this species has been found only in the<br />
Horeotown group in Shasta County. Stanton records it from the lower Horaetown<br />
beds near Ono, perhaps in the Ono zone.<br />

Gabb's record as to the locality at which the holotype was obtained ie the only<br />
known record. He states (Gabb, 1889a, p. 175), that this species was found with<br />
Liocttim punctatitm "south of the road from Colusa to the Hot Sulphur Springs, in<br />
the first range of foothills, Colusa County," If this statement ia taken literally<br />
the species and its associates can hardly be older than the middlo port of the Chico<br />
series. Similar forms have been found in the Chico beds of the Rogue River Valley,<br />
in southern Oregon.<br />

Stewart states that Gabb's holotype in the Museum of Paleontology is a fragment,<br />
and the "name a homonym," and proposes aa the holotype of his own species the<br />
specimen described and figured by Gabb (1889a, p. 173, pi. 28, fig. 57). Gabb states<br />
that the horizon of this species is within the "Shasta Group/' but its occurrence in<br />
this group rests only upon his record.<br />

"Chico Group," Cottonwood Creek, Shasta County—STEWAUT, Phila. Acad.<br />
Nat, SOL, Pr., vol. 78,1620, p, 432; locality and honron as given by Gabb.<br />
This species is abundant in the Chico series at many localities in California and<br />
in southern Oregon, and has usually been regarded as belonging exelumvGiy to this<br />
series, its usual horizon being in the Turanian or Cenomanian portion. A single<br />
example of the species has recently been obtained from the lower beds of tho Horsetown<br />
group at Locality 1353 (Calif. Acad. Sci.) near the bridge on the North fork of<br />
Cottonwood Creek, at Ono, Its range, therefore, is throughout the Horsetown group<br />
and the lower part of the Chico scries.<br />
