Sucia Islands, Dr. Newcombe, 1896: the specimen figured, which shews 

 the characters of the aperture unusually well. The inner lip shews a 

 thick and comparatively broad deposit of callus or enamel, and two small 

 transverse plicje. The inner surface of the thickened outer lip has two 

 comparatively large, median denticles, and a small posterior denticle. 



Brennan Creek, V. I., Rev. G. W. Taylor, 1901 : two specimens that 

 are apparently referable to this species.

Sucia Islands, Dr. Newcombe, 1894 or 1896 : two specimens. It is, 

 however, just possible that the specimens from Vancouver and the Sucia 

 Islands that have been referred to this species, may prove to be immature 

 examples of the next.

Original description.—" Shell small, moderately inflated, narrowly 

 subovate and a little more than half as broad as long, emarginate at both 

 ends, but much more deeply so posteriorly than anteriorly. Spire entirely 

 covered when the outer coating of enamel is perfect, but in the only 

 specimen collected the enamel is partially exfoliated in such a way as to 

 show that underneath it the spire is very small, conical, and composed of 

 at least four volutions, also that it extends just as far backward as the 

 produced posterior end of the outer lip. This partial exfoliation of the 

 outer layer of enamel is, however, barely perceptible to the naked eye, 

 and is not shown in the figute. Outer volution very large in propor- 

 tion to the rest, broadest and most inflated a little behind the mid-length, 

 abruptly attenuate behind, but narrowing much more gradually in front, 

 its anterior margin being narrowly rounded ; outer lip thickened exte-
