of the infrasutural belt and on the rest of the whorls, the three 

 or four spiral lirations which are continuous over the ribs, 

 which are nodose at each end, are the chief points of pecu- 

 liarity.

The deeply channelled suture, the nodulous broadish belt 

 below it and the narrow one above it, tlie nodules being con- 

 nected by the upright ribs, are the chief points in the construc- 

 tion of this species. The coloration is rather obscure ; for most 

 of the examples I have seen have a slight chalky deposit on 

 them.

This species probably attains a much larger size than the 

 above dimensions. The palish brown colour, with the narrow 

 white zone at the base of the whorls and that around the peri- 

 phery, and the numerous oblique ribs, which are divided above 

 by a fine furrow, are the chief peculiarities. The nearest ally 

 appears to be T. badia, Desh.
