Shell translucent, white, with seven flat whorls, which are 

 almost smooth ; round the summit of each runs a spiral stria, 

 which gives a marginated appearance to the suture. The 

 basal whorl is shghtly carinated and spirally striated below 

 the carination; a few obsolete striae sometimes appear above : 

 the mouth is pear-shaped, and has no rib thickening the outer 

 lip ; the pillar lip is broad, and slightly folded back. Animal 

 milk-white. 



This Rissoa is found in crevices of rocks at half-tide along 

 with Rissoa cingilla (to which it is nearly allied), Kellia rubra, 

 and Auricula alba, at Kirk Santon Head, Isle of Man.

This pretty species has the whorls slightly rounded, and 

 ornamented with strong longitudinal ribs, which are not, 

 however, continuous from whorl to whorl. The whorls are 

 slightly angulated at their summits : the sutures are deep. 

 Its colour is yellowish white, with numerous spiral bands of 

 yellowish brown, which give it a very elegant appearance. 

 The mouth is oblong, and the outer lip is thickened by a rib. 

 The canal is short and slightly inclined to the left. I have 

 dedicated it to James Smith, Esq., of Jordanhill, by whom 

 it was dredged in July last in Lamlash Bay, Arran.
