Shell about half the size of the last, thin and trans- 

 parent; from which it differs, 1. in the regularly 

 slender form, in consequence of the ultimate volu- 

 tion not being so large in proportion to the rest : 

 2. in the smaller volutions being nearly flat, and 

 elegantly sloping to each other : 3. in the suture 

 being more oblique : and 4. in the aperture being 

 more taper and oblong, and shorter in proportion 

 to the spire.
