Chemnitz. 

 This shell appears to be nearly of the same form and size as T. 

 Mespilus, but is transversely ribbed and granulated ; the bo- 

 dy-whirl is dull brown, and the spire issues from the row of 

 tubercles with which it is crowned, of a pale reddish colour ; 

 I have a specimen which in other respects answers, but it is 

 imperforate, and has the spire flatter than in Chemnitz's fi- 

 gures. 



ciNEREus. 80. Shell roundish, smooth, with the 

 whirls convex, and the pillar produced at the 

 base; throat grooved, and the umbilicus 

 broad.

transversely; aperture semicircular.

 nodules, transversely ribbed, and strongly 

 wrinkled obliquely; pillar-lip broad and 

 white, with a large umbilicus, and the throat 

 silvery.
