The body of this shell is chietly distinguished by its 

 ventricose conical form, and transversely ribbed structure, 

 the spire being very short but raised at the apex. The 

 li]) is boldly expanded, the upper extremity of it being on 

 a plane with the spire, as in some of the Caasides. The 

 edge of the lip is crenated in a manner to correspond with 

 the outer ribs. The epidermis is rather stout and nt a 

 rich olive-brown colour.
