rounds the umbilicus. Near the upper angle, and on the penultimate 
whorl, is a white trigonal tooth. 
Diameter four-fifths of an inch; axis nine-twentieths of an inch. 
Obtained at Puget Sound, Oregon. Drayton. 
This shell has the form of H. Townsendiana, but lacks the peculiar 
indentation of the surface. The lip is more broadly reflected, and the 
aperture is armed witha tooth. Placed side by side with the southern 
variety of H. palliata, somewhat blanched, it would hardly be distin- 
guished except by its umbilicus.

SHELL small, solid, imperforate, depressed, low-conical above, con- 
vex beneath, slightly angular at periphery, covered with a scabrous, 
rusty horn-coloured epidermis, beset with scattered hairs. Whorls 
five and a half, closely revolving, separated by a well-impressed 
suture; aperture lunate, the basal portion being but slightly curved, 
and turning upward at a rather sharp angle; lip incumbent, with a 
deep stricture behind it, moderately reflexed, roseate ; on the intruding 
portion of the penultimate whorl is a distinct, oblong, erect, white 
tooth, not connected with either extremity of the lip. 
Diameter three-tenths of an inch; axis one-fifth of an inch. 
This shell was brought from the Pacific coast, and was marked 
Oregon.
