S. NODULOSA A. Adams. PI. 29, fig. 23. 



Shell ovate, obliquely conical, whitish-rufescent, vertex subcentral, 

 posteriorly declining ; decussated by longitudinal nodose radiating 

 ribs, two front side ones very large, and irregular transverse lirse, 

 margin of aperture irregular, acuminate behind, truncate in front, 

 sinuate, the sinus produced inside into a channel. It is like Pan-

 on the large ribs. (Ad.)
