of two largish cylindrical whorls, of which the top is angulated and obliquely truncated, 

 and the extreme tip inserted. Whorls 6, of slow increase, feebly angulated, with a sloping 

 shoulder ; the last is slightly tumid, and elongated, with a slightly constricted base pro- 

 duced into a rather large flattened snout. Suture linear, a little impressed. Mouth 

 oblong, not patulous, rounded above, where to the right a canal runs out into the labral 

 spine ; it is pointed below, where it is prolonged into the longish canal. Outer lip well 

 arched, prominent, thin. Inner lip — above it is continuous with the outer lip ; its course 

 is semicircular ; on the body it expands with a thin edge, which in front, near the opening 

 of the canal, rises in a thin lamina, and is then bent over to the right to cover the canal ; 

 behind it to the left the pillar is scored with the projecting laminae of the old canal-ends, 

 which connect themselves with the longitudinal varices. H. 0*42 in. B. 0'2. Penultimate 

 whorl, height 0"06. Mouth, height 0"25 (without the canal Oil), breadth 0'07. 



This little shell is very like a Typhis, but its spines are not pervious.
