Defrancia nodulosa*, Jeftr. 
SHELL spindle-shaped, slender, rather solid, glossy, and 
semitransparent: sculpture, sharp and oblique longitudinal 
ribs, of which there are twenty on the body-whorl, besides 
numerous intermediate concentric strie, those on the lower 
half of the last or body-whorl being thread-like, uninterrupted, 
and oblique; each whorl has also below the fissural band a 
sharp keel or ridge, which is somewhat knotty or jagged at 
intervals, owing to the junction of the ribs and strie; the 
fissural band is crossed by arched striz corresponding with 
the ribs, of which they appear to form a continuation ; the top 
whorls have the same kind of arched striz disposed length- 
wise: epidermis none: colour white, with a faint tinge of 
yellowish-brown on the apex: spire long, graceful, bluntly 
pointed : whorls 8, moderately convex ; the last is not quite 
equal in length to the rest of the spire; apical whorls rounded: 
suture deep: mouth oblong, flexuous: canal rather long and 
wide: outer lip curved, sharp-edged: fissure wide and deep, 
regularly curved: inner lip smooth: pillar long, slightly 
flexuous. LL. 0°35, B. 0°15. 
From 611 to 1216 fms.
