 iculate-striated with brown ; outer lip regularly arcuate, narrowly

 border of faint pinkish-purple; columellar lip vertical, subsinuous,

Figures 16, 17, represent the type, 105, 154 U.S. Nat. Mus., from 

 which the above description is taken. Reeve's fig. 601c, " B. spec- 

 tatus" is, in my opinion, a rather highly colored example of gracilis 

 see fig. 15. The vaulted space behind the columellar lip is about 1 J 

 mill. wide.

Shell narrowly but profoundly umbilicated, elongated, shining, 

 irregularly striated ; pale tawny flesh-colored, with wavy longitu- 

 dinal streaks and two girdles of small black-brown spots. Spire 

 convex-conic, the apex acute ; suture lightly impressed. Whorls 6, 

 little convex, the last about as long as the spire, attenuated at base ; 

 columella oblique, reflexed. Aperture subvertical, roseate within, 

 showing the spots through ; peristome simple, slightly reflexed. Alt. 

 26, diam. 11 mill. (Sowb.).

I have as yet seen only a single specimen of this species, which 

 may be found to vary as much as the last (koppeli). It seems how- 

 ever to be distinct from any hitherto known. (G. B. S.).

Shell fusiformly ovate, scarcely umbilicate, whorls 6, convex, 

 smooth, polished, last whorl somewhat produced and attenuated at 

 the base. Aperture rather oblong, slightly sinuated at the lower
