raised cinguli, or small carinse, more strongly marked than the others, ' 

 and bearing each a series of small, rounded nodules where they are 

 crossed by the stronger lines of growth ; sometimes these nodules are 

 present only on the uppermost of these two carina, which are sepa- 

 rated by a narrow interspace. Below the carinse the whorl rapidly 

 decreases in size, the anterior slope being nearly the same as the pos- 

 terior one, and of about the same breadth on the spire ; this portion 

 of the whorl is crossed by three to five rather coarse, raised, irregular 

 spiral lines, and numerous fine lines of growth, which bend abruptly 

 forward at the shoulder and then curve obliquely downward and for- 

 ward, crossing both the spiral lines and their interspaces, which are 

 about the saute in breadth. On the body-whorl the spiral lines cover 

 the whole surface below the shoulder, becoming coarser and farther 

 apart below the middle, and again becoming smaller and closer to- 

 gether on the base of the siphon. Aperture narrow-ovate and some- 

 what angulated by the shoulder. Outer lip sharp-edged, with a 

 rather broad and deep posterior sinus, which is deepest at the shoulder ; 

 below the shoulder the lip projects forward in a broad even curve to 

 near the base of the canal, where it is somewhat contracted. The 

 canal is moderately long, somewhat contracted at the base, and a 

 little sinuous. The columella has a strong sinuous curvature, and is 

 strongly excavated at the widest part of the aperture. Upper whorls 

 and nucleus eroded in our examples. Epidermis yellowish horn- 

 color, closely adherent. Shell bluish white within the aperture. 

 Operculum well-developed, ovate, dark horn-color. 



Length of the shell without the tip, 25""" ; length of body-whorl 

 to tip of canal, 17™™; greatest breadth, 10"""; length of aperture, 

 13-5""'"; its breadth, 5-5"'".

 lower w^horls present. No, 35,220, station 2097, N. latitude 37° 56'

 specimen, but dead and much eroded.

Shell long-fusiform, witli a high, turreted, regularly tapered, acute 

 spire, all the whorls having, at some distance below the suture, a 

 well-marked, angular shoulder, which is crowned by a series of 

 oblique nodular riblets on all the whorls except the last.
