The manv-stimatep Scai.aima. Sliell siiuill, raised, 

 spirally very finely striated ; wlmrls nine, rather 

 rounded, slowly increasing ; varices very nu- 

 merous, laminated, standing out, elevated in a 

 sharp angle at the suture.

The three small species with ininntc stria-, somewhat 

 resembling each other, may thus be di.stingviished. 

 Scalaria delicaiula lias the fine varices roiuided at the 

 suture, and it is very narrow. S<-alaria subnadata has 

 them raised at the sutures and almost obsolete at the 

 centre of the whorl, and Scalaria multiMrititti has them 

 raised in an acute angle at the sutures and by no

M. Nyst publishes in his " Tableau Synoptique," a 

 fo.ssil species in wliicli llic varices are undulated; 

 something the same mainn'r, but more coarsely than in 

 this shell. I know ofnu other example of this beauti- 

 fully delicate sculture.
