C. Testa ovato-fusiformi, ventricosd ; spird acuminatd ; anfractibus convexis, lonyitudi- 

 naliter costellatis, transversim striatis ; costellis 12 15, granulatis ; in ultimo anfractu 

 ad basim evanescentibus ; aperturd ovatd; columettd triplicatd; basi acuminatd; canali 

 brevissimd. 



Shell ovato-fusiform, with an acuminated spire ; whorls convex, obtusely costated 

 longitudinally ; costse 12 15, generally obsolete upon the lower half of the body whorl, 

 transversely striated; aperture acuminated at the base, with a very short canal; columella 

 triplicate ; outer lip sharp. 



Axis, f of an inch nearly.

This species first appears in the Coralline Crag, but my specimens from that 

 formation are few, small, and very imperfect ; it is abundant in the bed above it. It 

 is in all probability the same as the American species. The ribs extend as far as the 

 junction of the succeeding volution, giving the spire a costated appearance ; the striae 

 or ridges are few, and are carried over the ribs, and the left lip is generally reflected 

 over the umbilicus ; and the columella has three folds, the upper one obsolete, some- 

 times invisible ; the lower one forms the edge of the canal ; outer lip sharp, and 

 generally free from denticulations, although the ridges are sometimes visible within. 

 This species is constant in its character, and presents very little variation in form ; the 

 costse are generally invisible on the base of the body whorl, and in one or two specimens 

 they are imperceptible upon the spire. 



Moller has described the species (Ind. Moll. Groenl.) under the name Admete 

 (Kroyer) crispa ; it differs from the true Cancellarise, and might probably form a good 

 generic type.
