P. Trevellianum, Turt. in Mag. N. H. vii. p. 351. Mcmgelia Trevelliana, 

 R & H. iii. p. 452, pi. cxii. f. 1, 2. 



Shell approaching P. turricula, but essentially distinct. 

 This is smaller, and more oval than oblong ; the spire is not 

 so decidedly and abruptly turreted or scalar ; the whorls are 

 rounded ; the sculpture is very much finer and closer (there 

 being twice as many longitudinal ribs) ; and the whole surface 

 is decussated, in consequence of the ribs and spiral striae being 

 equal-sized and intercrossing ; the second whorl is marked by 

 minute and numerous spiral lines ; the colour is uniformly 

 milk-white ; the canal is shorter ; the labial notch is deeper ; 

 and the operculum has a strong ledge on the inner side, and 

 is microscopically striated (as well as slightly reticulated) 

 lengthwise. L. 0-45. B. 0-2. 



Habitat : With P. turricula in the stomachs of had- 

 docks, Scarborough (Bean); muddy sand outside the
