 turrited, apex rather acute, suture much impressed. Whorls ^, 

 convex the last a little smaller, quite free trom the other whorls

 larcrer in fnmt ; the space inside the keel around the umbilicus is 

 of moderate size and ribbed. Aperture nearly circular and almost 

 vertical tlie opening of the basal canal bemg at the left side and 

 not in the same plane as the ai^erture, but turned a little down- 

 wards and to the right. Peristome thickened, double, the inner 

 portion obtuse, the outer expanded, turned back, produced below 

 the canal and above near the suture, narrower on the inner 

 margin and not touching the penultiuiate whorl. Operculum
