The animal has a distinct subcylindrical muzzle, slightly expanded distally, into 
which the proboscis is withdrawn ; the tentacles are rather posterior, small, short, 
and subecylindric; there are no eyes and no operculum. The foot is short and 
blunt behind, double edged at the front margin which is straight; the verge is 
small, coiled in a loose turn and laid back, the extremity with a lateral poimt; the 
siphon is thick and separate from the mantle-edge, without appendages ; there is a 
moderately long retractile proboscis and a poison gland. ‘The teeth of the radula 
are very like those of Pleurotomella packardi as figured by Verrill, there are two 
rows of about forty teeth each. The exterior of the animal is whitish throughout. 
Pleurotomella (Phymorhynchus?) clarinda Da tt, n. sp. 
Plate 1, figure 3. 
Shell white, with a pale yellowish periostracum, thin, fusiform, six whorled ; 
whorls rounded, flattened a little over the anal fasciole in front of the suture, 
which is very distinct but not channelled; nuclear whorls eroded; subsequent 
whorls, with between the suture and the shoulder five or six fine, sharp, spiral 
threads with wider interspaces, which are not beaded by the concavely arcuate 
growth lines which are prominent on the fasciole; at the shoulder is a weak 
spiral ridge, followed by five stronger ones, subequal and equidistant with wider 
interspaces; on a sixth similar ridge the suture is wound, followed by, on the 
base, about thirty similar but less prominent ridges which gradually diminish in 
size and strength, and approximate more closely to each other until the canal is 
reached ; over all these ridges and interspaces fine sharp threads run spirally, as 
on the fasciole and are perhaps a little more prominent on the ridges, where they 
are rendered more or less scabrous by the elevated lines of growth; outer lip thin 
with a shallow rounded excavation, near the suture, which forms the anal sulcus; 
body polished, with the spiral sculpture erased; pillar thin, gyrate, pervious, 
white, with a slightly thickened edge ; canal short, wide, slightly recurved. Lon. 
39 ; last whorl, 30; aperture, 22; max. diam. 18 mm.

The form and sculpture of this species have a general resemblance to those of 
the preceding two species, although the color is wholly different and in the 
absence of the soft parts it is provisionally placed with them.
