The flat and greatly eroded summit does not allow the form and 

 length of the shell to be ascertained with exactitude. It appears to 

 me to have at most a whorl and a half faintly depressed below the 

 suture. 



Operculum very like that of K. bicolor, but of a yellowish white 

 colour externally. On the inferior surface I observe that the upper 

 tooth is stronger ; the lower one annulated transversely, in a more 

 distinct manner. The intermediary plate is more compressed and 

 less sinuous at the margin, and the notch at the posterior part ap- 

 pears to me to be deeper.

Operculum oval, waved with grey on the anterior side, with a 

 narrow circular furrow ending in a strong posterior notch : this fur- 

 row bounds a superior, obtuse and circular angle. The summit of 

 an orange colour ; internal surface bearing a curved rib in the centre, 

 of greater or less width. Superior tooth yellowish and obtuse ; the 

 inferior yellowish white and substi'iated lengthwise ; the intermediary 

 plate between the two teeth of a citron colour, cut obliquely at the 

 margin. The depression existing at the base of the lower tooth is 

 of a flesh- colour approaching to cinnamon.
