the glassy apical included; the revolving lirse, strong, mostly 

 gemmulate, are four in nainber in each upper whorl, about twelve 

 in the lowest ; the interstitial pitting is nearly uniform, where 

 not present slight striation is visible. Mouth oblong, outer lip 

 crenulate, columellar four-plaited. We hardly think any of our 

 specimens have attained full growth, but the sculpture seems 

 distinct enough to warrant a specific separation from their allies.
