Description. — Shell turbinate, pyramidal ; spire of four or five mode- 

 rately- ventricose whorls ; apical angle between GS^and 70*^; base convex. 

 The body whorl is obscurely rounded angular at the margin, just above 

 which there are indications of a faint concave band ; thence moderately 

 ventricose to the suture. Below the margin the whorls are depressed 

 convex or somewhat flattened. The umbilicus is about one-fourth the 

 whole width, with an angular elevated carina on the edge ; whorls within 

 the umbilicus nearly flat, all of them exposed to the apex. Surface 

 obscurely striated parallel to the edge of the aperture, the latter obscurely 

 rhomboidal. 



Length of the largest specimen 10 lines ; width 9 lines. 



Locality and Formation. — G, H, Pistolet Bay, and Cape Norman, 

 Newfoundland ; Quebec group.
