is placed on its flattened side, its height, to the summit of the 

 depressed spire, scarcely exceeds two lines ; the colour is 

 white, reddish, yellow, or olivaceous, either without mark-

 somewhat in the same manner as Trochus vestiarius, with 

 which however it possesses no other affinity ; the form has 

 more resemblance to a Nerite, but the aperture is emargi- 

 nate at the base.
