104. A. SINISTRORSA Baldwin. PL 49, figs. 6, 7. 



Shell imperforate, sinistral, lanceolate, rather thin. Spire 

 long, with straight outlines. First half-whorl smooth, convex, 

 forming an obtuse apex; next whorl flattened, subacutely 

 carinate near the base, sculptured with fine, curved riblets; 

 on the next whorl the carina weakens and then disappears, 

 and the riblets become finer and closer. Later whorls are 

 moderately convex, rather rudely sculptured with growth- 

 wrinkles, not angular above the impressed suture. Aperture 

 strongly oblique, the outer lip thin. Columella straight, its 

 edge narrowly reflexed and adnate above; bearing a small 

 and very oblique fold. Length 14.7, diam. 6.2, aperture 5.7 

 mm. ; 61/2 whorls.
