80 MOLLUSCA FROM THE CRAG, 



My cabinet contains about half a dozen specimens of this species, which appear to 

 correspond with the figure and descriptions above referred to. The vohitions are 

 rather flat, but project a httle, which leave a slight shoulder at the upper part, and 

 cause the sutures to be deep and distinct. The transverse impressed striae, or rather 

 sulci, are about six or seven in number on each whorl, and these are continued over 

 the base. The costse are nearly vertical and straight, and from eighteen to twenty in 

 number on the last volution. The enlarged drawing in the very able work by 

 M. PhiUppi, referred to above, is a good representation of our shell. The costee in our 

 figure are scarcely erect enough.

This species is by no means rare. It resembles much Ch. elegantissima, but is less 



cylindrical, and is transversely striated or sulcated ; the costae are oblique, inclining a 



little to the left. It is beautifully grooved or sculptured, the lines being carried over 



the ribs. The lower part of the outer lip projects a little, so as to give an obhquity to 



the ribs, which are about twelve in number on the last volution. These ribs terminate 



at the edge of the base, but the transverse strise are continued over it. There is no 



V 

 appearance of any fold upon the columella. The inside of the outer lip is dentated. 



"It appears to differ fi'om Ch. obliquata, Phil. (vol. ii, p. 137, t. 24, f. 10), in being much 



larger, and striated. It differs also from Ch. rufa, in having fewer costae, and in those 



being more inclined ; on the last volution they are about thirteen in number.
