description of species 219<br />

plain or polished, ornamented only by a few extremely faint undulations. The<br />

outer, or final limb, which is in places very much broken, had one or more constrictions,<br />

or internal riba, which do not seem to have been visible on the external surface;<br />

one or two such interns! ribs seem to have existed, though in much less degree on tbe<br />

middle limb."<br />

The holotype of this species is in the museum of the Academy of Natural Sciences<br />

of Philadelphia and was loaned to the California Academy of Sciences for comparison<br />

with others found at tho type locality. Three good examples were found in the<br />

Perrin zone at Locality 1608 (Calif. Acad. Sci.) associated with Cleanicertu lecontci,<br />

Phyllcccrov tkenaae, and other species. According to Gabb (1860a, p. 127), this<br />

species was found with Ptilaieuthis Jolialu-t and a specieB of crustacean. Gabb's<br />

holotype probably came from Hulen Creek, near the locality mentioned. It has not<br />

been found at any other place.<br />

Hamulina d'Orbigny<br />

Genotype, Hamulina aubat/lindrica (d'Orbigny)<br />

Hamtilina alder sona Anderson, n, sp.<br />

[Plate IS, fijura 3, 2s)<br />

Shell of medium size, limbs moderately separated, straight, finely costate with<br />

major and miner coatae; section of each limb subcircular; smaller limb septate, the<br />

septum resembling that of the genotype; costae on the smaller limb fine, rounded,<br />

oblique, separated by wider interspaces; major costae faintly tuherculate on the<br />

side, bearing spines on the ventrolateral and dorsal borders; on the smaller limb,<br />

eight to ten finer costae intervene between the major, non-tuberculate costae; on<br />

larger limb, costae trituberculate and occasionally epinose; minor coatae bearing no<br />

tubercules. On the larger limb the costae are oblique near the bend but become less<br />

so near the middle and at the extremity of the body-chamber. The holotype of thia<br />

species was obtained at Locality 1343 (Calif. Acad. Set.) on Alderson Creek, about<br />

2 miles south of Ono, Shasta County, at a horizon about 200 feet above the Argonaut<br />

zono. It resembles Hamulina lorioli IThlig in its circular section, in its abrupt<br />

bend, by which the two limbs become nearly parallel, and in ita captation, which on<br />

the smaller limb ia oblique, becoming more nearly normal on the larger limb. In the<br />

present species, however, the smaller limb bears a double row of elevated apinea on<br />

the central borders and on the dorsum, with evidence of having had lateral tubercules<br />

on the major coatac. The holotype (Calif. Acad, Sci. type Coll.) haa the following<br />

dimensions: total length, 112 mm.; width between limba, 12 to 16 mm.; maximum<br />

diameter of body-chamber, 22 mm.; maximum diameter of smaller limb, 12 mm.<br />

{PUtftJQ, fifura 3, 3»)<br />

Two examples of this specica, consisting for the most part of the body-chambera<br />

only, were found at Locality 113 (Calif. Acad. Sci.) in the Hamlin-Broad zone, in<br />

the upper part of the Paskenta group. The shell is of moderate size, hamitid in its<br />

general aspect, closely costate, tbe costae on the two limbs being dissimilar in<br />

both ze and direction; costae rounded, with equally broad and rounded interspaces;<br />

costae on larger limb crossing it at nearly right angles to its dorsal border, in part<br />

branching into two or three divisions below the middle of the side and occasionally<br />

at higher points; costae bearing elongated nodes at points of division; costae on<br />

.'•mailer limb oblique, inclined strongly forward; in part branching into two or three
