side. Whorls 5, conical, convex ; the first which is very small, is a 

 little depressed, but at its origin stands up prominent on one side ; 

 the last, viewed as the shell lies on its face, is two-thirds of the whole 

 length. Suture strongly marked, but not impressed, nor canaliculate 

 nor marginated. Mouth small, oblique, very much narrowed by the 

 teeth of both lips. Outer lip very much thickened, with a large 

 prominent blunt tooth on the inner side above the middle ; there is 

 a shallow sinus above at the junction of the lip with the body, and 

 a very small one at the point of the pillar. Inner lip : there is a 

 thick toothed pad on the body ; of the two pillar teeth, the lower, 

 though stronger, is slightly less prominent than the upper. Alt. 

 O'll in. diam. O07. Mouth, height 0'064, breadth to outside of 

 callus on both lips, 0'058 inch. ( Wats.}.

This species is not unlike a small Ringicula auriculata Menard de 

 la Groye ; but the spire is more depressed, the apex slightly flatter, 

 .and the extreme tip hardly so small. ( Wats.}.

 p. 99, March, 1893. This species was figured by Reeve as Torn, 

 suturalis A. Ad., but that species is longer and narrower than this, 

 of a different ground color, and has the spiral sulci more strongly 

 striated or subpunctate.
