is not described in the author's diagnosis. Besides in the 

 characters already referred to, this species also differs from

 but is somewhat thinner, finely granulated, and with lighter- 

 colored markings (Smith}.

 Spire conic, obtuse ; whorls 6y 2 , the upper ones a little con- 

 vex, the last swollen, granulated by a few spiral lines below

 vertical, and slightly dislocated in places. Surface of the 

 last w r horl smooth except just below the suture, where it is 

 granose. Whorls of the spire densely granose-decussate. 

 Whorls 8, slightly convex, the suture whitish and puckered. 

 Aperture white within, contained about one and two-thirds 

 times in the length of shell. Columella arcuate, white; the
