Dunn's Helix. Shell unibilicated, depressed, brown, 

 keeled, irregularly granularly striated ; spire but little 

 raised, obtuse; whorls four, rather llattened, last 

 whorl descending a little in front, convex at the base, 

 compressed around the umbilicus, wliicii is funnel- 

 shaped ; aperture very oblique, in-egular, transversely 

 oblong, effused at the side ; lip simple, up])er margin 

 depressed, dilated towards the front, columellar mar- 

 gin shortly reflected.

The surface of this shell is peculiarly minutely cross- 

 grained, and the suture is curiously impressed.

 typicol example there figured.
