In general form and appearance this shell dilFors but little 

 from small dark-coloured specimens of the European T. per- 

 versa, but the nodulous spiral ridges are more unequal and 

 irregular, and not interrupted by longitudinal furrows. 



A few specimens of this species were brought from Hong- 

 kong many years ago l»y the late Surgeon. Major R. 

 Hungerford, but until now it has remained nameless.
