 seven or eight major spirals, one or two of which recur on the uppei" 

 whox'ls. Small spiral thi'eads run along the furrow and the bead row, 

 also two or three in eacli interstice of the major spirals. Fine growth 

 lines occur over the whole shell. Aj)erture pyi-iform ; lip simple and 

 straight. Sinus at the end of the bead-row wide and shallow. Canal short 

 and open. Length 21 mm., breadth 9 mm.
