Shell cylindrical or lengthened-oval, mal- 

 leated, smooth, much polished, amber-colored ; 

 spire moderate, suture not well impressed; 

 aperture somewhat ear-shaped, narrow above, 

 wide and broadly rounded below; columella

Length 12, diam. 6 J mill. 



Oregon. 



This species does not very closely approach 

 any of the preceding. Ph. j^ropiuqua is occa- 

 sionally somewhat malleated, but with this its 

 resemblance ceases entirely. It is more 

 closely related to the following, but differs in 

 having the columella tinged with pink, in 

 having a wider aperture and a shorter spire. 

 The two species come from far distant locali- 

 ties.
