The forms found in this region all have a conspicuous, mamillar, 

 upturned nucleus.

 bb. Small, alt. about 2 mill., recta, 

 aa. Surface of body-whorl without spiral striae, eanaliculata, candei, 

 liratispira.

This is the largest of the West Indian Tornatinas. It has the 

 same general form of T. eanaliculata and T. candei, but is distin- 

 guished by its close spiral striation. The synonymous T. eanalicu- 

 lata Orb. (not Say) is shown in pi. 22, f 17-19 ; and T. olivula Ad., 

 also a synonym, in pi. 25, f 47.
