1*74. Pleurotoma granclimaculata. Nov. sp. 



Shell long, ovate pyramidal : black, with a single spiral series 

 of very large dingy white spots : with excessively minute incre- 

 mental and spiral striae, the latter of which are obsolete ante- 

 riorly ; with a sharp simple spiral keel a little below the suture : 

 a little below the middle of the whorls is a sharp tuberculated 

 keel, which is less developed between the tubercles ; these 

 tubercles coincide with the white spots, and on the last whorl 

 are transversely elongated ; on the last whorl four or five more 

 spiral linear keels are seen : apex acute : spire conic : whorls 

 ten, concave between the keels, with the suture indistinct; 

 aperture rather narrow ; labrum moderately thickened, with the 

 sinus rather deep : labium well developed : canal very short.
