« This small shell ressembles no species of the genus 

 known to us, except M. Suavis Souv. J. conc. 1858; 

 the present species, however, differs in not having its 

 last whorl, as regularly cylindrical, but abruptly inclined 

 to on side , marking the aperture shorter and more con- 

 tracted, and giving the shell a somewhat deformed 

 appearence ; the two lower plaits on the columella are of 

 a different character instead of being nearly transverse, 

 as are the two upper ones, they are almost perpendicular; 

 on the last whorl instead of three, there are only two 

 pink bands, both very broad, the band on the upper 

 whorl is alsu just abowe the suture not beneath it.
