white band revolving below the suture throughout. The first 

 three whorls are nearly flat, the rest moderately convex, the 

 last whorl obtusely angular peripherally. The early whorls 

 have curved riblets, as usual in the genus; on the fourth 

 whorl spiral sculpture begins, often abruptly becoming 

 stronger at or near the end of the fourth whorl. Subse- 

 quent whorls have 5 or 6 strong unequal spiral cords and 

 light growth-lines; base smooth. The aperture is rhombic; 

 columella descends in a long spiral curve, the basal truncation 

 being very weak. 



Length 38, diam. 13.7 mm.; whorls fully 8. (fig. 6). 



Length 39, diam. 14.5 mm.; whorls 7% (Reeve's type, ac- 

 cording to Pfr. ; fig. 5).

The numerous strong spiral cords of this species differentiate 

 it from other forms having a white sutural band. It is a 

 rare snail, the exact locality is still unknown. All the speci- 

 mens we have seen are "dead" shells, and we presume that 

 Reeve's type was equally so.

Shell elongate-turrited. solid, (dead), without gloss; in- 

 tense wine-brown colored, darker at the acute apex and the 

 aperture. Striate, the stria? less distinct at the aperture. 

 Spire very much lengthened, slowly tapering, a little more 

 rapidly so above. Whorls 9 to 9 1/2, slowly increasing, the 

 first scarcely convex, suture linear, following 5 whorls at 

 first sloping, then angular above the middle, flattened below 

 the angle; suture impressed; the last whorl has an upper 

 angle, with another obtuse one below the middle, sides flat, 

 tapering downward. Aperture oblong, acute above, taper- 

 ing, brown inside. Columella thick, strongly and obliquely 

 truncate, white, arcuate above ; parietal callus strong. Length
