:\ curious species, and with the form of Avianropsis 

 CiDialiculata (Gould). It is narrowly but deeply umbilicated, 

 and apparently smooth and white, but under a lens the 

 surface is seen to be very delicately tranversely grooved. 

 This may be more apparent in a fresh specimen, ours being 

 rather worn shells. At the sutures there is a deep channel, 

 the mouth is simple, white within. 



One or two specimens ; rare.

A plain brown transversely round-ribbed species, a little 

 like Tclescopiiini fuscnni in miniature as regards sculpture, 

 but not so broad proportionately as that species, being 

 uniformly attenuate. The apex is whitish, whorls about 12, 

 transverse ribs somewhat varying in size, about four in a whorl. 



Rare. Two specimens only.
