Tablet 2015 contains a singular little shell, "024 by "015, the 

 fry of a large species, the genus even of which cannot be deter- 

 mined without a series. It has a very large mammillated apex 

 of one whii-1, set slanting on the next, which by its subquadrate 

 aperture and angulated umbilicus resembles Niso.

 what resembling Hissoa proxima, but much more effuse. If 

 a large fragment, which has the same sculpture, belongs to 

 the same species, it must be a very long and slender shell 

 when perfect. The largest of tlie four, with four normal whirls,
