146 MOLLUSCA FROM THE CRAG. 



doubt of the identity. The original specimen dredged up to the northward is covered 

 with fine striae, but the fossils are quite smooth. An imperfect specimen is among 

 the shells sent by Mr. Leckenby, found by that gentleman at Bridlington.

One specimen of this shell, from the cabinet of Mr. Leckenby, is all that I have seen ; 

 and being unable to identify it with any species known to me, I have ventured to give it 

 a name. Its most distinguishing character is the callosity of the left lip, which entirely 

 covers the umbilicus much in the manner of that in N. clausa, from which, however, 

 it appears to differ in its much more elevated spire and less tumid volutions, and it 

 also wants the peculiar flatness near the suture, which exists in that species. There 

 is a slight flattening upon the lower part of the columella, but not the distinct 

 impression on either side of the aperture that is generally made by the pressure of 

 a calcareous operculum ; I therefore presume this to have had a corneous one. It is 

 faintly but distinctly covered with fine spiral striae upon its outer coating.
