Shell. — Small, thin, fusiform, with a high spire, a short base, and a small snout, of a 

 ruddy brown, tipped and banded with white ; it has spiral threads. Sculpture : Longi- 

 tudinals — on the earlier whorls there are some feeble folds below the suture ; only sharpish 

 hair-like lines of growth elsewhere. Spirals — over the whole surface there are flat threads 

 with furrows of equal breadth between them : of these, on the penultimate whorl, there 

 are about 10; on the snout they are finer and closer. Colour muddy brown, with a 

 transparent white-tipped pillar, and on each whorl a central band. Spire high, rather 

 narrow. Apex blunt, rounded, with a slightly immersed tip. Whorls 6, regularly 

 convex ; the last contracts slowly on the base, and is produced into a short, one-sided, 

 slightly expanded, truncated snout. Suture rather deeply impressed. Mouth largeish, 

 oval, open, straight, bluntly pointed above, produced into a small, short, obhque canal 

 below. Outer lip thin, blunt, rather patulous, slightly sinuated and angulated a little 

 way below the suture, and below this flatly arched. Inner lip : a very thin and narrow 

 glaze covers the arched body and the straight pillar, which is not thickened or twisted, 

 but is obliquely cut off in front. Operculum is intermediate in form between that
