Lonj^it. 29 mm., (liaiu. maj. 21 mm. 



Habitat. — Cape Adare, 20 fathoms. 



A line species, not unlike Sca2)hander lignarius in form. ATore 

 convolute than usual and consequently with a more contracted 

 aperture. The periostracum is peculiarly shining, having a some- 

 what metallic look. The cephalic disc is oblong, rounded in front, 

 widening behind, where it is .slightly notched in the middle. The 

 foot is about the same length as the head-disc, but broader. The 

 mantle investing the shell is thickened into a ridge around the spire 

 and forms a blunt end to the animal. Only a single specimen was 

 obtained.
