ajDpear ever to have the least vestige of strios, and the peristome is much reflected and 

 turned over, so as to form an ohtuse varix, producing a nearly continuous rib up the spire.

Shell turreted, smooth, and imperforate, with nine convex, contiguous volutions ; 

 costellae rather variable in number, generally numerous, lamelliform, thin, depressed, 

 and reflected ; aperture subcircular, with a thin, reflected, sharp, and elevated margin.

This species is exceedingly abundant and variable in the number of costte ; in 

 some there are upwards of 20, while others have not more than 14 on one volution. 

 It appears to differ from the 8. Treveli/ana principally in its more elongated form and 

 less reflected costse. I have not yet seen this species from the Red Crag, although a 

 strong shell, and very abundant in the older formation ; in a recent state it is a very 

 rare shell, and may probably be one of the species now dying out.

I have found but one specimen of this shell, which appears to agree so well with a 

 recent individual of 8. Trevelyana in my possession, that I am induced to give a 

 figure of it, although it is not perfect. The last six species have the convoluted tube 

 quite smooth, and free from lines or striae of any kind. Their specific separation 

 depending principally upon the form and number of the reflections of the peristome, 

 which generally produce a continuous line of rib along the spire, in a slightly oblique 

 direction. A larger number of specimens than I possess may possibly remove some 

 of these distinctions.
