 of A. nigra having rounded and striate embryonic whorls.

" Shell thick, ovate-conic, elongate; blackish-brown at the 

 apex, reddish-brown on the middle whorls, and ash-colored on 

 the lower whorls; with unequal, irregular, very coarse, trans- 

 verse striae, with close-set transverse arcuate ribs near the 

 apex, and some indistinct raised spiral lines on the lower 

 part of the last whorl ; apex subacute ; spire rather long, with 

 the oulines quite curvilinear; whorls seven, rather convex, 

 with a well-impressed suture; last whorl obtusely angular; 

 aperture ovate, acute above, with an extremely thick deposit 

 on the inner side, with a, very large compressed coluniellar 

 fold. 



Mean divergence 50; length 1.33 inch; breadth .7 inch; 

 length of aperture .61 inch. 



The unique specimen which has served for this description 

 is somewhat faded, and the lip probably is not quite mature, 

 being sharp " (Adams).
