 cliaracterit^tics distinguishing it from others of the genus. Specimen itlciitilied l>y

Shell small, elongate-fusiform; spire much elevated; ape.x acute; whorls si.x, subangular, 

 with numerous fine, slightly wavy transverse ridges, which become obsolete at the sutures; spiral 

 sculpture nearly obsolete; suture very deeply depressed, giving a rather frail appearance to the 

 spires; aperture narrow, ellijitical, tapering anteriorly to a short, trun'-ated canal; posterior sinus 

 small; outer lip thin, simple, arcuate; columella smooth; straight on anterior portion. 



Dimensions. — Long. 9.2 mm.; lat. 3 mm.; body-whorl 5.2 mm.; aperture 4 mm.; defl. 

 22 degrees. 



This species is distinguishable by its numerous fine, transverse ridges, deep 

 suture, subangular whorls, and slender form. Resembles M. nculpturata somewhat in 

 outline, but has less angular whorls and more numerous, finer ribs. Distinguishable 

 from M. oldroydi by the angle being nearer the middle of the whorl, the ridges being 

 finer, the pillar shorter, and the suture deeper. Specimens identified by Dr. Dall. 



Rare in upper San Pedro series of San Pedro and Los Cerritos. Found also 

 in Pleistocene at Spanish Bight, San Diego. The specimen figured is from the ujjper 

 San Pedro series at Los Cerritos, and is now in the collection of Delos Arnold. 



Living. — Panama (Carpenter): San Pedro (Williamson). 



Pleistocene. — San Pedro; San Diego (Arnold). 



Subgenus Taranis Jeffreijs. 



.Shell minute, cancellated; whorls angulated, slightly e.xserted at base; aperture pyriform; 

 outer lip thin, simple; sinus obsolete; canal short. 



Taranis morchii Malm, is a characteristic species.
