The single specimen examined seeins distinct from any 

 of the other species recorded from South Africa. 



It is a somewhat worn shell, but sufficiently well preserved 

 to show that the spiral lira? in fresh specimens would be 

 finely scaled. They number about fourteen on the pen- 

 ultimate whorl, and are alternately fine and coarser. There 

 are about thirty-six on the body-whorl, including that at the 

 extremity, which is thicker than any of the others.
