Shell somewhat fusiform, rather iiiHatech 

 semi-transparent, rather thin, pale horn-color ; 

 spire somewhat produced, pointed at the apex ; 

 sutures very much impressed; whorls five, 

 convex, the last one large ; aperture large, 

 elliptical ; outer lip regularly expanded, 

 thickened and saffron-color under the margin ; 

 columella much impressed and thickened in 

 the middle, twisted and furnished with a fold. 



Length 12, diam. 6 '5 mill. 



Uniontown and Claiborne, Ala. 



The alcove is a coj^y of Mr. Lea's description, 

 which is much more satisfactory than the 

 meagre one published by Mr. Conrad thirty 

 years before* it. Mr. Conrad's type specimen 

 agrees very well with the description, figure 

 and specimens of P. Sliowcdterii.
