crossing the whorl obliquely backward as far as the margin of 

 the periphery, and then passing abruptly backward, becoming 

 somewhat coarser and more prominent, and forming on the 

 periphery a moderately wide and deep hyponomic sinus ; the 

 outer whorl with seven or eight constrictions extending from 

 the margin of the umbilicus and having a similar direction to 

 the ornaments of the test, these constrictions being faiutly 

 indicated on the surface of the test, but well marked on 

 internal casts.
