 smooth and convex whorls. Whorls 4J, rather rapidly increasing, 

 narrowly and flatly shouldered, convex below ; base slightly con- 

 tracted. Suture linear. Aperture broadly oval, angulaidy rounded 

 above, with a broad, short canal below, which is often wanting, faintly 

 emarginate at the base. Outer lip slightly angled above, straightened 

 at the middle, rounded or contracted below, smooth inside. Columella

Hah. — Near the Snares Islands, in 50 fathoms, type (Captain J. 

 Bollons) ; Stewart Island, in 15 fathoms (A. Hamilton) ; 23 miles 

 north of Wreck Eeef, Stewart Island, in 50 to 54 fathoms (Edgar 

 R. Waite). 



The species may be at once distinguished from the nearly allied 

 D. totolirata and chariessa, Sut., by the stout spirals with linear 

 mtcrsticGs
