Shell elongate, slender, blunt-tipped, with two smooth nu- 

 clear and 15 subsequent whorls; the spire increases evenly to 

 the eighth whorl and then very slowly attenuate; sculpture 

 of slightly oblique, little raised, nearly straight riblets with 

 doubly wide interspaces marked by somewhat irregular lines 

 of growth ; the sculpture between the ninth and the last 

 whorl is more or less obsolete, but on the last whorl is strong, 

 crowded, and a little irregular; suture distinct; base a little 

 appressed; umbilical chink small; aperture as in H. crossei, 

 but projecting beyond the periphery of the last whorl. Length 

 of shell 20.5, maximum diameter 5 mm. (Dall.)

 ferruginous white instead of the bluish color of H. semi-
