j4. Testa ovato-cylindraced ; s])ird conoided ; apiceacuto; anfractihus sex convexiusculis ; 

 transversim striatis ; columelld uniplicatd ; labro acuto, intus non sulcata. 



Shell ovato-cylindrical, with a slightly elevated spire, and acute apex ; volutions 

 six, slightly convex ; finely striated on the body of the shell, more coarsely so at the 

 base ; columella with one fold ; outer lip sharp, ridges not visible on the inside. 



Axis, I ; diameter, ^ of an inch. 



Localiti/. Cor. Crag, Sutton. 



Red Crag, Sutton. Recent, British Seas. 



Of this species I have fovmd but very few specimens, from either the Red or 

 Coralline Crag. It appears to be distinct from the preceding, and I do not perceive any 

 sufficient character by which it can be separated from the recent British species. The 

 upper part of the volution is flatter than in A. noa, the aperture being shai'ply acu- 

 minated at the junction of the outer lip with the body whorl, and consequently it has not 

 so high a shoulder. Mr. Sowcrby must have had an imperfect specimen for his figure, 

 as, in his description, he says " columella without a plait ;" in my specimens the fold 

 is very distinct, though less prominent than in A. nocB. Aperture three fifths of the 

 length of the axis.

 convexiusculis, sitbdepressis, transversim tenuissifiie striatis; aperturd ovato-angiistd ; 

 columelld uniplicatd. 



Shell elongato-ovate, tapering, with an elevated spire, and acute apex ; whorls 

 seven, slightly convex, somewhat depressed, transversely striated ; striae broader and 

 coarser at the base ; outer lip thin, with an obtuse fold upon the columella. 



Axis, I of an inch.
