Mwangadan Eiver, S. of Fuladoga. The nearest species to this is C. binum Nordst. in Wittr. & Nordst. Alg. Exsicc. 1880, no. 383, which differs chiefly in its linear sinus, its rectangular basal angles, and its truncate apex. The close resemblance between these two species seems to have escaped the notice of some previous observers who have had occasion to refer to C. binum. 15. C. Mwangadanense, nov. sp. (Fig. 11). C. submediocre, li-plo longius quam latum, profunde constrictum, sinu linear! extremo subampliato ; semicellulae subsemicirculares cum apicibus truncatis, angulis basalibus rotundatis, lateribus leviter biundulatis, elevationibus granulatis, granulis intra marginem subter elevationi- bus, in centro cum tumore magno granulorum majorum ; a vertice visas latae ellipticae, cum tumore ad medio utrobique. Long. 49 /x ; lat. 41 fx; lat. isthm. 11-5 /x. Mwangadan Eiver, S. of Fuladoga. The isolated patches of granules of this species are very charac- teristic. 16.
