Shell of a narrow chrysalis shape, being elongated- 

 oblong, subcylindrical in the middle, and tapering at the 

 blunted extremities, suddenly so below, gradually so 

 above ; tolerably firm, but more or less translucent, highly 

 polished, fulvous or reddish tawny horn-colour (rarely of 

 a greenish white), smooth, excepting a few longitudinal 

 wrinkles towards the not-strongly defined simple suture. 

 Whorls seven or eight, merely but equably convex ; the 

 earlier ones very short and of a slow longitudinal increase ; 

 the penult longer ; the body short (not much more than half 

 as long as the spire), not at all ventricose, but attenuating 

 immediately with a gradual but decidedly convex declin-
