 a. 1 Last whorl rounded, or at most bluntly angular in front. 



b. Whorls 5J, the last depressed; aperture rounded oval ; 

 alt. 4-5 mill. turgidula, p. 16. 



b. 1 Whorls 6^-7 ; size larger.

c. 1 Last whorl rounded or somewhat flattened peripher- 

 ally, not dilated toward the aperture. 



d. Pointed-ovate, dark brown, the diam. two- 

 thirds the alt.; umbilicus narrow ; lip

 D. SINGULARS (Pfeiffer). PI. 3, fig. 1. 



Shell sinistral, openly umbilicate, trochiform, yellowish- chestnut 

 colored. Surface rather glossy, sculptured with rather coarse, very 

 oblique wrinkles of growth, and fine spiral lines on the base. Spire 

 conic with noticeably concave lateral outlines. Whorls 6J, the last 

 depressed, acutely carinated at the periphery, the keel usually serrated 

 a little ; suture descending a little below the keel in front. Aperture 

 extremely oblique ; peristome well expanded, white, the upper mar- 

 gin arched, basal more or less straightened. 



Alt. 10, diam. 9.4; longest axis of aperture 6.5, width 4.5 mill. 

 (Kanala). 



Alt. 8.5, diam. 7.5 mill. (Prony Bay).
