MYCHOPOMA. 157 



umbilicus ; beneath the epidermis, tlie sliell is white with close 

 si)ir:il .sculpture. In some specimens, as in II. Jiirsutum, there 

 are oblique raised lines outside the epidermis, but they are not 

 always conspicuous. Spire conical, suture deep. Whorls 5^ 

 convex, the last cylindrical, scarcely descending toAvards the 

 aperture which is oblique and nearly circular. The peristome is 

 much curved back, near the umbilicus, where it is almost simple 

 and scai'cely expanded : elsewhere the outer portion is sharply 

 reversed, forming a broad rim at right angles to the axis of the 

 whoi-1 on the outer and basal mai'gins, while near the penultimate 

 w horl it is produced in front. The inner portion of the peristome 

 scarcely projects beyond the outer ; it is corrugated within, but 

 not nearly so strongly or closely as in 3J. hirsntum, and the 

 corrugation is very faint towards the base, and entirely wanting 

 at the angle of the aperture aiul on the columellar margin. 

 Operculuii) thinner than in the last species, and the calcareous 

 external portion less developed, and entirely wanting at the centi-e.

"A very different shell from the last, being much higher in the 

 spire, with a broader edge to the mouth. The name is taken from 

 the last peculiarity." {Blanford.)

Original description: — "Shell moderately umbilicate, turbinate, 

 rather solid, spirally lirate, furnished with a brownish epidermis, 

 which has a minute vertical striation, very hairy along the 

 periphery, and slightly so about the sutures, but otherwise 

 glabi'ous, white beneath the epidermis ; spire conical (not convex 

 or depressed, as in C. hirsutism) ; whorls 6, convex, sutures deep, 

 the lowest terete, descending a little rather suddenly in front 

 with 12-15 continuous raised spiral costulations between the 

 suture and the keel of the umbilical region, two of Avhich at the 

 region of the periphery are more raised than the others, and 

 furnished with very long patent dark brown hairs, and between 

 tliese two there are one or rarely two less prominent beardless 

 costulations, penultimate with six to seven costulations, the upper 

 and lower sutures slightly hairy, antepenultimate with five or six, 

 and the whole above it with two or three less prominent lines, the 

 two apical whorls small and nearly smooth; umbilicus pervious, 

 exhibiting all the whorls, not surrounded with a hairy fringe
