Aldrich's original description. — "Shell robust, broadly fusi- 

 form ; whorls five, — two forming a nucleus, next two cancellated. 

 Body whorl large and globose ; revolving striae alternately 

 coarse and fine, well marked, while the longitudinal ones on it 

 become faint.

 columella with two nearly equal ere(?t plaits ; callus thin, spread- 

 ing ; canal short, open and recurved. No umbilicus. 



''Locality. — Bell's landing, Alabama. 



"A specimen in the State Colledlion is over twice as large as 

 the type, but imperfedf."

 is precisely Strepsidura ; it has no sharp basal fold like that 

 genus but has, instead, higher up, two well formed transver.se 

 folds like Glyptostyla Dall. 



Localities. — Alabama : Gregg's and Bell's landings. 



Type. — Aldrich's collecftion.

 phenominal.
