* ' Shell elongate, conical, thin, semipellucid, white, narrowly 

 umbilicated. Whorls 5%, slightly convex, sculptured with 

 minute microscopic spiral striae and fine oblique lines of 

 growth, which give the upper edge of the whorls a slightly 

 puckered appearance; last whorl long, a little contracted be- 

 hind the aperture, and marginate beneath the suture near the 

 lip. Aperture almost perpendicular, somewhat ear-shaped, 

 dirty whitish within, together with the peristome equalling 

 rather less than half the total length of the shell. Lip 

 somewhat flattened and expanded. Columellar margin re- 

 flexed, not twisted or tubercular; outer margin above well 

 bent over towards the columella, with which it is united by 

 a thin callus. Length 16% mm., diam. 7; aperture 8 long, 

 5i/ 2 broad. (E. A. Smith).
