Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 58)

"These specimens are too poorly preserved for positive identification, but they agree in general characters with most of Heer's figures of the species, in which he includes a considerable variety of forms.

Fragmentary specimens from the Potomac group of Virginia are referred to the species by Fontaine (1889) (p. 245, pl. 117, figs. 7, 7a; pl. 118, figs. 5, 5a, 6, 6a) but the identity of these is no more conclusive than that of the Alaskan specimens."
