 8. Dsedalochila tholus, W. G. Binney. 



Plate 10, figures 7, 9. 



Shell solid, white, shining, ribbed above, smooth below : spire 

 depressed, conical, suture distinct ; whorls 7, convex, slightly 

 angular on the periphery ; umbilicus broad and shallow, about 

 half the diameter of the shell, showing 2J grooved whorls ; 

 aperture semi-oval, with a thickened, scarcely reflected lip 

 bearing one median and one basal tooth — both small, parietal 

 tooth large, rhomboidal.

Plate 10, figure 8. 



Depressed, carinated, white, strongly striate above and nearly 

 smooth beneath ; spire somewhat raised, suture deep ; whorls 6, 

 the last much deflexed at the aperture ; umbilicus narrower than 

 in D. tholus^ exhibiting 1 J whorls fully ; aperture semi-oval, lip 

 broad, heavy, but slightly reflected with two marginal teeth, of 

 which one is basal, and the other sub-basal, parietal tooth large, 

 rhomboidal. 



Diam. 10, height 35 mill.

It is questionable whether this and the forgoing are not varie-

Shell planorboid, coarsely ridged above, striate below ; 

 whorls 6, quite convex, subangular at the periphery and very 

 much deflected and constricted behind the aperture ; umbilicus 

 broad with a minute central perforation ; aperture rounded, the
