 moderate, one-third the total length, scarcely convex at the 

 beginning, more convex at the aperture. Aperture vertical, 

 rather lunate, irregularly oblong, arcuate outwardly, angular 

 above, having a strong lamella on the parietal wall. Colu- 

 mella straight, acuminate, above slightly toothed within ; peris-

25. F. MARGINATA ( Westerlund) . 



Shell cylindric-fusiform, fragile, glossy, corneous-reddish. 

 Spire perceptibly attenuate above, the apex obtuse. Whorls 

 6, a little convex, the upper rather regularly increasing, the 

 last two rapidly; taken together their length on the left side 

 more than two-thirds, on the right nearly three-fourths, and 

 the last whorl alone one-half the total length. Suture super- 

 ficial, nearly horizontal above, very oblique in the middle, be- 

 coming slightly oblique at the aperture, throughout having a 

 white, strongly callous margin. Aperture narrowly piriform, 

 long and narrowly produced above, nearly 4 mm. long ; parie- 

 tal lamella rather immersed, high, compressed, below the 

 middle of the parietal wall; columella white, acute, a little 

 twisted, at the base noticeably running out; outer margin 

 vertical, very lightly arcuate. Length 8, diam. 2.5 mm.
