TURBO. 861 



Montagu describes this species to be sub-cylindrical, glossy, 

 white, with five or six nearly flat but well-defined whirls, 

 which are finely striated longitudinally, and slightly and in- 

 distinctly punctured in the furrows, which gives the shell 

 somewhat of a cancellated appearance when examined with 

 a glass, but the transverse striae are confined to the hollows 

 between the ribs, and do not cross them; apex obtuse; 

 aperture sub-ovate, with the inner lip smooth and a little 

 spread on the pillar ; it has the habit of Valuta interstincta, 

 but differs in having a cancellated appearance, and in being 

 destitute of a tooth on the pillar. 



UVA. 108. Shell cylindrical, obtuse, with straight 

 longitudinal ribs, and about nine whirls ; 

 aperture semi-ovate and one-toothed.
