 volution: flightly wrinkled concentrically, and rough 

 with fliort, concave fcales, not unufually all over the 

 ihell, but commonly mofl; on one fide, and rarely to- 

 ivards the top, Infide extremely gloflV, fmooth, and 

 white, furnifhed with a fub-fpiral Coiumelia^or piilar lip, 

 which extends from verv near the margin to the end,
