"This shell in its simple straight portion of the whorl at the 

 constriction shows a resenihlance to the Asalu species figured by 

 me in tlie J. A. S. B. 1871, iig. 3, which I then thought a variety of 

 A. w/noni ; but it is quite distinct, and the Asalu species I now 

 name A. bicrcnatus." {Gochuin-Austai.)

Orif/inal, description: — "Shell turbinate, of tumid form, widely 

 uiubilicated ; sculpture smooth, fine ribbing near the sutural tube 

 and still finer below ; colour pale ochraceous ; spire moderately 

 hij;h, apex blunt; suture deep, the sutural tube short and thick; 

 whorls 4k, very rounded, the last much swollen and compressed 

 within the umbilical cavity, constriction simple, slight ; aperture

Original description: — "Shell urabilicated, globose; sculpture 

 smooth : rather irregular, close, oblique, fine ribbing, not 

 amounting to costulation until neai-ing the sutural tube, where 

 strong costulation comes in ; colour pale ochraceous ; spire rather 

 high, apex blunt; suture well impressed, the sutural tube shortish 

 and stout; whorls 4, tumid and rounded, the last is sharply con- 

 stricted just in front of the sutural tube, and expands again into 

 a narrow ridge, which crosses the whorl diagonally to the edge of 

 the peristome and then splays forward above ; aperture circular, 

 oblique angulate above ; peristome double, strong, with a decided 

 notch or channel on the lower margin, slightly rounded on the 

 columejlar margin, more so on the outer. 



" Major diam. 3-1 ; alt. axis 1*5 mm."

"The aperture recalls that of A. (jemma of the Dafla Hills, but 

 the shell differs in other respects." (Godwin- Austen.)
