Figs. 172-174.- Pleurotomaria Quebecensis. Fig. 174. A polished section through 

 a specimen, showing the wide umbilicus, a, magnified view of the margin of 

 the body-whorl. 



Description. Shell pyramidal, varying in height, consisting of five or 

 six slender whorls. The whorls are usually nearly flat on the upper side, 

 the surface forming a straight slope from the acute apex to the angular 

 margin of the body-whorl ; Sometimes gently convex with a tendency to 

 become slightly concave in the lower half. On the under side the most 

 convex part of the whorl is close to the umbilicus, the edge of which is 

 obtusely rounded angular. From the margin to the umbilicus the whorls 

 are depressed convex. The margin of the body-whorl is somewhat 

 acutely angular, narrowly rounded. The umbilicus is wide, being at
