"Tue reticulated surface of this shell very much resembles 
the impression of some coarse cloth; it is prominent, formed 
by strong transverse striz, crossing numerous longitudinal, 
rather acute undulations; the transverse strie approach 
in pairs, and are twice as numerous as the undulations: 
the mouth is an oval, pointed at the upper end, and with 
a recurved sinus at the lower. The greatest width of the 
shell is less than half the length, and equal to the length 
of the aperture: the outer lip is toothed and striated within ; 
inner lip plane, covering the columella. 
Mrs. Cobbold favoured me with this well-preserved spe- 
eimen from Holywell; it is an handsome-formed shell.
