at the top of the outer lip; color as in all the foregoing species; 
spire very small, but prominent ; whorls 2, similar to those of the

P. ANGULATA Jeffreys. PI. 3, figs. 41, 42. 
Shell rhomboidal, depressed, fragile, transparent and glossy ; 
sculpture, numerous rows of very fine spiral strize, composed of oval 
and almost microscopic dots, and appearing punctate; the upper 
part of the body-whorl is angulated or margined by a sharpish keel, 
between which and the suture is a flattened space marked with 5 of 
the spiral strie and sloping towards the spire; there is also a 
tendency to angularity in other parts; edge of the mouth plain or 
smooth; color clear white, becoming opaque in dead specimens 
which have been picked out of shell-sand; occasionally one or two 
transparent zones may be seen, as in the variety of P. catena; spire 
extremely small, slightly prominent; whorls 2-3, conspicuous; the
