whirls, slightly depressed at their upper part; aperture white, 
ovate, elongated, terminated at its upper part by a small 
canal, formed by a curve at the top of the right lip, and a 
transverse wrinkle of the left lip; right lip thin, sharp, finely

The specimen which served for the description of Bruguiére is 
the same as that of Lamarck; this specimen appears to me to 
have been young; for those which I have examined, belonging 
unquestionably to the same species, are thicker, with less. ap- 
parent exterior strie; only the transverse and internal striz of 
the right lip are always very distinct.
