cone ; whorls five, rather convex, the last scarcely equalling two 

 fifths the shell's length, ascending above, somewhat nar- 

 rowed towards the base ; columella deeply sub-jjlicate, 

 parietal wall of the aperture furnished with one tooth- 

 like callus ; aperture vertical, sub-semi-circular ; peris- 

 tome thin, scarcely expanded, its right termination quite 

 arched. Length two and three fourths, diameter one 

 millimetres. 



Inha])its Greenland, and has also been found at Anti- 

 costi Island. 

 The descri]>tion given above is translated from Pfeiffer. The 



specimen figured, which I refer to this species, has another denticle 



on the columella, and a lamina-like process within the aperture at 



the base of the last whorl.

Shell minute, ovate, but much elongated ; of a spermaceti-white 

 color; whorls five, convex, smooth, gradually diminishing to an 

 obtuse apex ; suture deeply impressed ; aperture sub-tri-

 and slightly oblique ; the inner lip is also nearly straight, 

 so that these two form a right angle at their junction ; lip

 teeth ; the longest, somewhat curving to the left, com- 

 pressed and pointed, is situated on the middle of the transverse lip, 

 and has a small one seated at its left side ; at the front, nearly op-
