"Ca.pt Brazier sent me two examples (weather-beaten) col- 

 lected at the above island by himself in 1865 ; it has the out- 

 line of eburnea nobis, but is a smaller, thinner and more 

 slender shell." (Hartm.) 



The specimens of this species were returned to Mr. Brazier 

 or Dr. Cox (see H. H. Smith, Annals of the Carnegie Museum 

 I, p. 467). My figures are drawn from photographs of the 

 two examples mentioned above, fig. 13 representing Dr. 

 Hartman 's figured type.

The shell is oblong-conic, with a rather narrow and com- 

 pressed but deep umbilicus; white under a very thin pale 

 yellow cuticle, the spire light brown or white; suture indis- 

 tinctly white-bordered. Spire conic, the apex obtuse; 2*/ 2 

 embryonic whorls are convex, very delicately punctate-striate 

 spirally. Following whorls convex, with sculpture of growth- 

 lines and extremely delicate engraved spirals, which are in- 

 distinct and rather widely spaced except on the 'base where 

 they are closer and more distinct. The last whorl is some- 

 what compressed laterally and very convex -at the base which 

 is rather narrow and sack-like. The aperture is symmetri- 

 cally ovate, rather oblique. Peristome narrowly reflexed, 

 thickened within, white. Parietal callus rather short and 

 heavy. 



Length 16.5, diam. 9, aperture 9 mm.; whorls 5 1 /! (type). 



Length 14.25, diam. 8.25, aperture 8 mm. ; whorls 5.
