D. MULTisTRiATUM Deshaycs. PL 39, fig. 5. 



Small, narrow, generally but little curved, white, yellowish or 

 grayish ; entirely covered with fine, crowded strise, continuous from 

 base to apex. In some individuals these striae area little wider, less 

 crowded, with a fine thread interposed ; but in the majority of shells 

 they are equal, rounded, sometimes quite regularly spotted with 

 gray or translucent white on an opaque white ground. Apex ordi- 

 narily worn, the strife often deeper than at the base ; aperture per- 

 ceptibly oblique, with very sharp peristome. Length 20, greatest 

 diam. 3 mill. (Desh.). 



Found with D. variabilis, and presumably from India. (Desh.).

 to us only from the above description and figure.

The description of this species was overlooked by me when the 

 MS. for part 65 of this volume was in preparation. Mr. Smith
