Habitat ad Bredasdorp. Detexit J. Fry. 



This sinistrorse species is very peculiar, with reference to its 

 deep umbilicus running up to the summit, as in the unique 

 Chinese P. regalis, B., its carinate base, and handsome sculpture. 

 In some respects it exhibits a relation to the imperforate P. La- 

 yardi, especially with reference to the imperfect tube at the top 

 of the aperture, formed by the connivent palatal and parietal 

 plaits. It was discovered at Bredasdorp, at the southern shore 

 of Swellendam, by Mr. John Fry. Mr. Layard reports that the 

 animal is jet-black, very short and thin, the shell being carried 

 on one side, or tilted up if in a line with the animal.

 tuso, sutura impressa, submarginata ; anfractibus 10, convexius-
