lated and obliquely truncated below ; suture impressed. Surface 

 marked by numerous fine, revolving, thread-like lines, some 

 times alternating in size, and on the angle near the lower margin 

 of the whorl, by coarse granulations. Aperture subquadrate.

SHELL small, thin, compressed, triangular; beaks small, acute, 

 prominent, placed about two-fifths of the length from the anterior 

 end, which is produced and narrowly rounded below, broadly 

 emarginate above; the cardinal margin slopes nearly straight 

 from the beaks to the posterior end ; base broadly rounded. 

 Passing from the beaks to the posterior angle is a sharp ridge, 

 very near the margin ; posterior to which the surface drops at an 

 acute angle to the edge of the shell, making a well-marked,
