both somewhat flexuous ; in front it is contracted in towards the 

 pillar, forming at the point of the base a narrow, patulous, but not 

 emarginate gutter ; the edge is sharp, but is strengthened a little 

 way within by a small longitudinal rib, which is of a ruddy white 

 color. Top obliquely truncate, small, with a blunt keel round the 

 edge of the minute, shallow, conical depression, which is half 

 choked by the outer lip. Inner lip : a very thin glaze extends across 

 the gibbously and convexly curved body ; there is a slight angle at 

 the top of the pillar, which is direct, a little oblique, hardly patu- 

 lous, scarcely twisted, very narrow, most feebly toothed and truncate 

 in front ; behind the sharp edge is a small but deep umbilicus. Alt.

This is a very peculiar form, extremely like an Ovula both in 

 shape and in the thickness of the outer lip, the edge of which, how-
