Var. decUvus, fig. 2. Slightly flattened on the disk towards 

 the ventral margin ; strise very fine, shell rather thick. 



The sculpture varies ; in some specimens the lines are broad 

 and divided by minute lines, in others the lines are fine, unequal

 with the subgenus JVaficina, Gray.

 consisting of minute, unequal, much-wrinkled lines; base flat-

 by the reflexed labium ; aperture oval, patulous.
