specific characteri2atio7i.—Oenera\ form and size as indicated 

 bv the figures; whorls at least 10; ornamented by {a) spiral lira- 

 tions, about five very strong ones below the shoulder with an 

 equal number of fainter alternate striae, and five or six famt ones 

 above growing fainter as they approach the suture; C^) by obtuse 

 nodular costations, 14 on the penultimate whorl, strong at the 

 shoulder but dying out rapidly above, less rapidly below; Imes of 

 growth fine but well marked, especially on the body whorl On 

 the last mentioned whorl the nodular costK are famt and con- 

 fined to the humeral angle; the spiral lirations below, about 10 

 in number, are strong; columella long, straight. Suture more or 

 less filled by a revolving ridge.

 seven in number, rather distant, the central one making a sharp 

 carina on the center of each whorl, with erect longitudmal tuber-

 of growth; canal very long, spirally striated with alternate raised

''The' figured type retains four embryonic whorls; three are
