350 Mr. E. A. Smith on Species o/Bullidge. 



This species is remarkable for its short squarish form, the 

 irregular malleation, the reflected columella, and the flattened 

 vertex. Here and there are longitudinal depressions, giving 

 the shell a somewhat wrinkled appearance.

The lateral outlines of this species are nearly straight ; the 

 superior strias are about six in number, the inferior about 

 eighteen. H. ijapyrus^ A. Ad., is its nearest ally; but it is 

 narrower, more elongate, with the strise not covering the whole 

 of the shell, the vertex is more depressed, and the aperture 

 is less broadly dilated and more effused at the base.

 perforatus ; apertura angusta, super verticem vix producta, basi 

 aliquanto latior ; columella simplex, leviter reflexa.
