curved across tlie body, ample in front. Whorls 4, the earlier 

 ones only indistinctly visible in tlie impressed top ; the apex is 

 papillary. Suture deeply channelled, with a sharp keel above it : 

 this keel runs out not above but on the edge of the funnel- 

 shaped top. Outer lip rises from the inner side of the apical 

 depression and slopes flatly outwards, forming thus the patulous 

 opening of the funnel-shaped depression; at the apical keel 

 it is angulated ; from this point it makes a convex sweep, which 

 has a slight contraction about the middle; it is patulous and 

 somewhat elliptical in front. Top nearly flat, only the outer lip 

 rises slightly above the level ; the apical depression is funnel- 

 shaped, having a wide converging mouth and a small, not deep, 

 hole in the middle, with a papillary apex in the centre. Inner 

 lip : a broadish distinct white glaze extends across the body, 

 on which the curve of the lip is very regularly convex on to 

 the narrow, long, low, and twisted pillar-tooth ; beyond this 

 the pillar -lip is slightly concave, narrow, a little patulous, and 

 appressed. L. 0'23. B. 0-14. B. of mouth at same place,

I do not know any other JTtriculus so rounded in its outlines 

 as this ; it is also very broad relatively to its length.

This large and very interesting species is in too bad condition 

 for satisfactory description. I had called it oliviformis from its 

 shape, which is peculiarly stumpy, with an excessively short and 

 broad mouth, and an unusually high and bluut spire; it is 

 sharply fretted all over with sharp lines, and has a strong 

 little furrow behind the sharp-edged twisted pillar. It is like 

 U. culcitella, Gould, or Z7. lactuca, Nevill, in its conical spire ; 

 and like U. simplex, A. Ad., in shortness of body. Tornatina 

 olivula, A. Ad., is much slimmer, longer in mouth, and much 

 more cylindrical. It dilfers from Utriculus s-patlia, "Wats., in its 

 greater breadth, higher spire, shorter mouth, coarser sculpture, 

 more numerous whorls, and more abrupt truncation in front, 

 where the shell is cut oiF almost at right angles to the axis.
