Has much affinity with B. apodemetes, with wlm-h it lives associ- 

 ated, the form being a miniature of that species; but last whorl 

 longer? its surface smooth. Differs from B. album in the longer con- 

 tour, and from B. rouaulti in not having the last whorl obliquely 

 descending. Jaw with 13-14 slightly curved riblets, those toward 

 the median part much narrower; basal margin serrate. Teeth in 

 nearly straight transverse series. 



B. VENTANENSIS n. Sp. PI. 1, fig. 8. 



Shell narrowly perforate, ovate-conic, thin ; closely and obliquely 

 streaked with blackish, brown and pale olive-brown, the earlier 

 whorls lighter ; shining. Surface sculptured with rather coarse and 

 unequal growth-wrinkles. Spire short conic, the apex smooth, white, 

 and obtuse at the rather small tip. Whorls 5, slightly convex. 



Aperture oblique, about half the shell's length, whitish and show- 

 ing the streaks within ; peristome thin, unexpanded and acute, the 

 outer lip regularly arcuate ; columella straightened, descending to- 

 ward the left, the columellar margin reflexed and triangularly ex- 

 panded, flattened, and applied closely over the umbilical area, leav- 

 ing a narrow chink open.

As thin a shell as the allied B. npmli nn />, but very much more 

 slender and with darker coloring. 



B. CONOSPIRUS Doeriug. Unfiyured. 



Shell perforate, ovate-conic, rather solid ; whitish, opaque ; nearly 

 smooth, densely and irregularly striated. Spire perfectly conical, 

 the apex obtuse. Whorls 5, rather flat, the last more convex, a 

 little longer than the spire ; columella obsoletely folded. Aperture 

 subvertical, oval, pale brown within, shining; peristome simple,
