Rather thin, and generally unicolored except for the darker spire. 

 Some specimens show a faint peripheral dark band, and rarely 

 a dark band is developed around the columella. Numerous narrow 

 hydrophanous bands are seen on some specimens.

The shell is decidedly solid ; the columella is wide, its face gently 

 convex, its base strongly toothed, much as in C. curta Sowerby. 

 The cuticle is wholly worn from the specimen, but under the very 

 thin parietal callus it is seen to be of the yellow color of that of C. 

 cromyodes, a species also resembling denticulata very closely in con- 

 tour, in the suprasutural margination of the spire whorls, in the 

 appearance of the surface, and the dark-edged lip. From C. 

 cromyodes, the present species differs only in being more solid, in the
