Distinguishable from T. culcitella by more angular whorls, maminillate apex, 

 more keeled upper edge of whorl, and smaller size. Specimens identified by 

 Dr. Dall. 



Rather common in the upper and lower San Pedro series at San Pedro, and 

 in the lower San Pedro series at Deadman Island. Found also in the Pleistocene at 

 Spanish Bight, San Diego. The specimen figured is from the lower San Pedro 

 series at Deadman Island, and is now in the collection of Delos Arnold. 



Living. — Monterey to San Diego (Cooper). 



Pleistocene. — Santa Barbara; San Diego (Cooper): San Pedro; San Diego

Shell small, thin, cylindrical, narrowed posteriorly; spire only slightly elevated; apex acute;

 Found also in the Pleistocene at bath-house, Santa Barbara; at Barlow's ranch, 

 Ventura, and at Twenty-sixth Street and Spanish Bight, San Diego. The specimen

Shell resembles T. culcitella, but diflfers from that species in the following respects: Has a 

 whorl less narrowed anteriorly, a spire depressed nearly to rim of body-whorl, a longer and narrower 

 aperture, and a less prominent plait on the columella.
