338 EEV. E, BOOG WATSON ON THE 



Shell. — Subcylindrically oblong, truncate above, where the 

 crown is sliarply angulately edged and excavated, with a papillary 

 apex, tumid below the middle and rounded in front, obsoletely 

 striate in the lines of growth. Sculpture. Longitudinals — the 

 ordinary ridges and furrows in the lines of growth are feeble, 

 except on the crown, where the old lip-edge scars are strongish, 

 close, and hair-like. Spirals — none, except that round the edge 

 of the crown there runs a sharp angulation in continuation of 

 the outer lip. Colour ivory-white, somewhat streaked longi- 

 tudinally. Mouth a little longer than the body, and at the top, 

 to a small extent, enlarged, slightly curved on the inner side, 

 and there in front gibbous ; on the outer side it is nearly 

 straight. Whorls 3 : the last encircles all the rest, which only 

 a]3pear on the crown, where each rises above its predecessor 

 in a round-faced curve ; the first is papillary and immersed, the 

 last rises above on the margin in a sharp edge and is a little 

 tumid in front. Suttore slightly impressed. Outer lip rounded 

 and cut off backwards above, angulated at its upper outer corner, 

 straight with a slight median contraction, rounded and patulous 

 in front ; its edge line is very regularly curved. Top deeply 

 excavated, with a sharp edge. Inner lip : there is a very thin 

 glaze ; the line across the body is much curved, the narrowing 

 forward of the body beginning early and being considerable ; 

 the pillar is very oblique, subtruncate, very bluntly and faintly 

 toothed, with a narrow expanded sharpish-bordered edge, and an 

 almost imperceptible umbilical chink behind it. L. 0'13. B.

The very sharp outer rim of the crown in this species is cha- 

 racteristic. The species slightly resembles a large and stumpy 

 IT. {Oi/lichna) umhilicatus, Monterosato, but is posteriorly 

 squarer and more truncate, the whole top is different, the line of 

 the pillar is straight in its obliquity, not roundly hollowed, and 

 there is no spiral sculpture.
