 suddenly contracted, thiu, whitish, shining; whorls 5, convex, 

 the apical one small, obtuse, tlie second much larger, the three

 all smooth except the last, which has a very minute transverse 

 striation, and is furnished with a basal keel: aperture circular; 

 peristome double, externally expanded, and reflexed : total lengtli

"This pretty little shell, specimens of which I noted previously 

 (Proc. Malac. Soc. vol. ii, p. 237) as possibly belonging to two 

 species, appears to be variable in relative proportions of height 

 and breadth. It is very cylindrical, with an exceedingly deeply- 

 cut suture, and delicate spiral sculpture. Mr. Preston found a 

 single sinistral specimen." (Sykes.)
