 hollow interstices, continuing obliquely up the spire, gradually vanishing 

 on the base, and set nine to a whorl; ten main spiral cords encircle the 

 body whorl, of which three ascend to the antepenultimate ; these ride 

 high over the ribs and bridge the interstices ; a minute thread is inter- 

 calated between the wider spirals ; these spirals are beset with sliarp close 

 grains, which give a harsh touch to the shell. Aperture oblong, rather 

 narrow, protected by a prominent and massive varix ; sinus a slight 

 insinuation ; canal short and broad ; within the outer lip are five 

 denticules, and two obscure folds cross the inner lip. Length 6 mm.,
