 Vol. III. PI. LXX. Fig. 4. 



Shell cylindrical, subfusiform, smooth; whorls 6 to 7, convex, the three next 

 the aperture of about equal diameter, the posterior three diminishing and form- 

 ing a rather obtuse apex ; suture impressed ; peristome white, thin, subreflected, 

 forming the whole outline of the aperture, except a small portion of the body- 

 whorl, where a thin, testaceous deposit connects its two extremities; aperture 

 lateral, nearly oval, deep, cup-shaped, and narrowing towards the throat, which 

 is almost filled up by projecting teeth, white within ; teeth commonly 4, one 

 of which, affixed to the body-whorl, commences at the superior margin of the 

 aperture, near tin; junction of the peristome and ultimate whorl, and runs back- 

 ward and downward into the aperture, it is prominent, lamelliform, irregular, 

 has one or more sharp, projecting points, and is sometimes bifid ; another, thick 

 and massive, is situated deep in the throat, and marks internally the place of 

 the umbilicus ; and two others, projecting and tooth-like, are placed on the 

 peristome at the base of the aperture, and point towards the centre of the aper- 

 ture ; base of the shell, from the umbilicus to the edge of the aperture, com- 

 pressed, forming a short and obtuse keef; umbilicus a little expanded, and 

 slightly perforate. Length, 4 5, diameter, 2 mill.; length of aperture, 1 mill.
