A fine specimen before me has two decided varices on the body 

 and one on the penultimate whorl. The original specimens were 

 imperfect and figures have been published by E. A. Smith and 

 Weinkauff (figured), the former from a worn and rather unchar- 

 acteristic specimen, the latter excellent. Weinkauff considers 

 the unfigured D. latifasciata^ Sowb., a s} r nonym.

Shell horny brown, the whorls excavated above and somewhat 

 margined at the suture, with a few strong, oblique ribs, termi- 

 nating above at the periphery, last whorl obliquely grooved at ' 

 the base. Length, 10 mill.

 D. LONGISPIRA, E. A. Smith. PL 11, fig. 3. 



Whorls with six longitudinal ribs, oblique y subnodulous on 

 the periphery, which they surmount, but do not reach the suture,

 between the ribs on the spire-whorls, and a third band in 

 addition upon the lower part of the body-whorl.
