 (Plate xliii., fig. 25.) 

 Shell lanceolate, subturreted, spire slender and tall. Whorls ten, of 

 which two constitute the protoconch. Suture deeply impressed. Colour 

 olive- buff, with irregular tawny dashes. Epidermis thin and fibrous. 

 Sculpture: — The earlier whorls have a double row of prominent peri- 

 plieral beads, arranged about ten to a whorl ; by interposition of additional 

 spirals each double bead extends into a short oblique nodose rib; below 

 the suture is an indefinite baud, followed by a distinct and excavate 

 fasciole ; the latter is sculptuied with fine lunate striae; on the last whorl 

 anterior to the fasciole are about twenty-three prominent but irregular 

 spiral cords, some of which are rendered nodulous by passing over the 

 ribs. Aperture : — Outer lip sharp and simple ; sinus wide and V-shaped ; 

 columella coated with a thin callus. Length 23 mm., breadth 7 mm. 



This species has a general i-esemblance to Z. co.vl, but is a more 

 slender form, having both radial and spiral sculpture more prominent.
