APHORAIS GRACILIS, n. sp. PL 5, fig. 14. 



Shell fusiform, whorls eight, spire high; embryonic whorls smooth, 

 the others to the body whorl with longitudinal ribs which curve to the 

 left into the suture and are crossed by fine revolving lines ; body whorl 

 expanded into a broad outer lip, furnished with two digitations, the pos- 

 terior one the largest, rising in some specimens into a long, sharp point, 

 strongly grooved to the apex. The outer lip extends up the spire to the 

 top of the body whorl only ; the groove in the anterior digitation rather 

 faint; surface of body whorl with two revolving carina marking these 

 grooves and covered with faint revolving lines ; aperture small, inner lip 

 with a spreading callus; canal moderate, terminating in a sharp point 

 slightly recurved. 



Locality. Gregg's Landing, Ala. 



Quite common ; the digitations are subject to considerable variation,

The embryonic apex is missing in every specimen. One example ha* 

 made a double outer lip ; the posterior digitations lying over each other 

 and distinct; the anterior ones coalescent.

 says with four approximate equal impressed lines. I therefore figured 

 this form as new : but on examining the type at Philadelphia Academy,
