Stat. 102. 6°4.i N., 120° 44' E. 533 M. 1 Spec. 



Sliell oval, ventricose, rather solid, ycllowish-biown. Sciil])liiit; consistin^ of some spiral 

 lirae, about 12 in number on tlie upper part of shell, occupyin^^ also liic upper umbilical pit, 

 and of wliich the lowcr 2 are considerably tlatter; these lirae and not less their interstices are 

 crossed and consequently cancellated, by lincr, Init still sufticiently conspicuous, radialinjr riblets; 

 below the last of the lirae, run 2 spiral rows of line |ninctures. Near the base run a few spiral 

 rows of stronLï punctures, ihe 2 most basal ones accompanied by lirae, then foliow higher on 

 3 rows of larger punctures, with nearly tiat iiUerstices and slill iiii^hcr up 2 spiral rows of small 

 punctures; at last near the base of the oiiiervvise nearl\- sniooih niedian zone, still one row of 

 verv small punctures; ihis smooth space is crossed by irregular, sometimes fold-likc growth- 

 striae. Spire concave, with a small patch of enamel at its bottom, otherwise lirate, as described 

 above, with a rounded rim. Aperture elongate, moderately narrow above, wider below : peristome 

 strongly contorted near the vertex, then produced in a narrow wing ; outer margin regularly 

 convex, basal margin rounded ; columellar side of body very convex, with a rather thick layer 

 of enamel, which is rugose (perhaps abnormal), columella concave, broadly spread over the 

 umbilical space. 



Alt. from vertex to base of apert. sYo, lat. 4; apert. alt. 6, lat. above 7,,, below 2 Mill. 



This species is remarkable for its prominent sculpture of upper part of bcKly-whorl. I 

 find no nearly allied species.

I can fmd no difterences with Preston's description and figure of specimens from the 

 Andaman Islands, only one of the specimens from Stat. 37 has a length of i 370 MiH- instead of 1 1.
