 This shell, although it beais a general resemblance to xanfhorhila, Pfr., is 

 quite distinct. It differs from that species in the following respects : — it 

 has one whorl less (5^5), the whole shell is broader in proportion to its 

 height, the peristome is pure white, much more widely expanded, and is 

 strongly scored or crenulated behind.

PI. vi, f.g. 5 



Shell trochiform imperforate, rathr-r thin, (.oveved with a slight yellowish- 

 green epidermis, white beneath suture thread-margined : whorls 5, convex, 

 the last acutely carinaled at the periphery, swollen and then constricted just 

 before its termination, not descending: aperture sub-ovate, glassy-white 

 witliin ; peristome very oblique, thin ami scarcely expanded at right margin, 

 but somewhat thickened and expanded at the ba.sal portion, slightly decreas- 

 ing in width towards point of insertion. 



Maj diam. 13, alt 9 millim. 



Hah. New Ireland. 



In its general character, especially in having the constriction at rear 

 of aperture, similar to pij-cis, Hinds, but quite distinct by its different form 

 (pijxiti being almost as high as it is broad), its larger size and non-cksiciuling 

 last whorl.
