 lip very broad, recurved. 



0. Length of aperture and diam. of shell decidedly 

 exceeding half the alt., stout ; alt. about 35 mill.,

 very high, lamellifer, p. 160. 



B. RIMATUS (Pfeiffer). PI. 21, figs. 1, 2, 3, 4. 



"Shell deeply rimate, oblong-turrited, [with rather convex lateral 

 outlines], rather thin, subarcuately striatulate [and under the lens 

 faintly showing long granules produced by spiral decussating striae, 

 usually visible only in places, and often almost obsolete, fig. 3], 

 pale corneous [or light fleshy-brown, with an indistinct pale sub- 

 sutural line, somewhat glossy] ; spire turrited, rather obtuse [with 

 nearly two costulate nepionic whorls] ; whorls 7 [to 7], nearly flat, 

 the last three-eighths the length of the shell, rotund at base. 



" Columella with one fold within, [passing into a moderately 

 high, strong, callous lamina spirally encircling the pillar within the 

 last whorl, seen upon breaking the shell, fig. 1]. Aperture oblong- 

 oval ; peristome simple, the margins approximating, joined by a 

 callus ; right margin slightly expanded, [arching far across the 

 whorl above] ; columellar margin dilated, spreading." 



"Alt. 33, diam. [above aperture, as usual with Pfr.] 11 mill.; 

 aperture 13 mill, long, including peristome 4 [error for 9, evidently 

 from misreading the scale] wide." (Pfr.}. 



Alt. 33, diam. 13; alt. of aperture 12'7, width 8'8 mill, (speci- 

 men). 



Near San Jose del Cabo, 12 miles east of the Cape (Bryant), to
