wrinkled ; suture wcil-impressed ; aperture less than one 

 third the length of the shell, rounded oval, somewhat 

 irregular ; the preceding whorl forms a nearly transverse 

 boundary above, and is usually enamelled ; the pillar lip 

 is nearly straight, and turns abruptly at the front, so as 

 to form nearly a right angle ; front broadly curved ; outer 

 lip white, widely and equally reflected and thickened ; 

 umbilicus distinct. Length, one fifth of an inch ; breadth,

I have seen but two or three specimens of this shell which have 

 l)ccn found in Massachusetts, one of which was sent me by Dr. L. 

 M. Yale, from Martha's Vineyard ; I have seen others from Rhode 

 Island. It is found abundantly from Nebraska to Texas, and from 

 New England to South Carolina ; also in several of the West India 

 Islands.
