B. PILOSUS (Guppy). PI. 13, figs. 8, 9, 20. 



Shell small, umbilicate, oblong-conic, thin ; corneous-brown. 

 Surface but little shining, with oblique growth-lines and very 

 numerous spiral lines of short, delicate, velvety hairs, or the slight 

 scars remaining when they are rubbed off. Spire conic, the apex 

 very obtuse, earlier 1? whorls delicately vertically costulate (fig. 20), 

 whorls fully 6, very convex, and separated by deep sutures. 



Aperture oblique, decidedly over one-third the total length ;

 margin broadly dilated. 



Alt. 13?, diam. 7 ; alt. of aperture 5 mill.
