it ends in a slight sutural notch; anteriorly it is evenly and obtusely 
rounded. The outer lip is sharp, evenly arched, and projects consid- 
erably forward in the middle; in front it is somewhat produced and 
flaring, but passes into the columella-lip in a regular curve; the col- 
umella-lip is regularly excurved, with the outer margin somewhat 
everted. There is no umbilicus. Color translucent pinkish white. 
Length, 8""; breadth, 2:3".

fathoms. One living specimen. 
This species is closely related to £. charissa, but it is larger and 
stouter, with a decidedly larger nucleus, and with more flattened 
whorls and a less distinct suture, and it has a smaller number of 
whorls in the same length. It is remarkable for its smoothness and 
brilliant polish, in this respect resembling Hudima.

PLATE XXXII, rigursEs 4, 4a, 40. 
Shell small and delicate, translucent white, very slender, with the 
spire attenuated toward the upper end and very acute, composed of 
about eleven whorls. 
The apical whorl is very small, strongly upturned and _ reversed ; 
the succeeding whorl is scarcely larger. The suture is slightly but 
distinctly impressed and not very oblique. The whorls are moder- 
ately convex in the middle, though somewhat flattened. The surface 
is nearly smooth and brilliantly polished, without sculpture, except 
fine, microscopic, and rather indistinct, flexuous lines of growth, 
usually most evident close to the suture. Aperture ovate, narrowed 
to a point posteriorly, where it terminates in a shallow, sutural 
notch; the outer lip is moderately and regularly convex, projecting 
forward in the middle, slightly produced and a little flaring in front ; 
it blends with the columella-lip in a regular curve; the columella- 
margin is regularly excurved, and forms a sinuous curve with the 
edge of the body-whorl. No umbilicus. Color translucent white, 
sometimes with a tinge of pinkish. 
Length, 5°6™"; breadth, 1°8"™. Other specimens are somewhat 
more slender than the one measured. 
Station 2038, in 2033 fathoms, with the preceding species. Four 
specimens, three of them living. 
This species is very similar to the preceding, but is distinguished 
by its smaller size and much more slender spire, having a greater
