" This is one of the most distinct and interesting species of the 

 genus as yet discovered ; the few imperforate whorls, with markedly 

 obtuse apex; the distinct, though minute, close punctidatioii ; the 

 unusuallv convex whorls, with the remarkable long, compressed, 

 slightly flattened, and egg-shaped last whorl are all good chnracters. 

 The suture is very distinct and, on the last whorl, distinctly 

 marginate below. The operculum is normal."
