Stat. 316. 7 I9'.4 S., n6°49'.5E. 538 M. Fine, dark brown, sandy mud. 1 Spec. 



Shell globosely-ovate, ventricose, with a raised, conical spire; white, with a yellowish 

 epidermis; whorls about ó 1 /», the upper part of the smooth nucleus wanting, the whorls are 

 convex, separated by a deep suture, spirally striate and lirate, the upper ones moreover with 

 obtuse ribs; on the lower whorls the infrasutural liration is strong, divided by a groove, more 

 below the lirae are still stronger and granulose, and number from one on the fourth whorl, to 

 two and three on the penultimate one; these 3 principal lirae are persisting on the last whorl, 

 where they bear about 30 granules, and are succeeded towards the front part of that whorl, 

 by eight granulose lirae, which become however weaker in approaching that iront part and 

 are finally succeeded by about 12 nearly smooth lirae; the 3 principal lirae are divided by 2 

 grooves, and a few of the other ones by a single groove, moreover many of the interstices 

 are provided with much smaller lirae, from one to three in number in each interstice; the whole 

 shell is crossed by conspicuous growth-lines. Aperture oblong-ovate, angular above, terminating 

 anteriorly in a short, slightly recurved canal ; columellar margin callous, with rugose plicae, 

 corresponding to the lirae, columella rounded, nearly straight, obliquely truncated, its left margin 

 slightly expanded, leaving only a scarcely visible umbilical slit; outer margin thickened, riblike
