dition Shells, 1850, atlas, fig. 257; Tryon, Man., 1886, 8, p. 89, pl. 9, fig. 71. 
Shell small, heavy, translucent white with an olivaceous periostracum, moder- 
ately elevated spire, and five whorls; nucleus eroded, remaining whorls rounded 
from the margin of the narrow, deep suture, to the umbilical region; surface 
smooth, polished, with very fine, silky, incremental lines, and microscopic spiral 
striae; aperture semilunar, outer lip simple, body with a subsutural callus and a 
thin layer connecting with the pillar over the body; pillar lip thickened and 
slightly reflected; base rounded, with a very minute, umbilical perforation under 
the reflected callus. Alt. of shell, 17.0; of last whorl, 15.5; of aperture, 11.0; 
max. diam. 15.0 mm. 
Operculum brown, horny, of two whorls.

Magellan Straits northward to Chile. 
This species was referred by Carpenter and Tryon to Huspira pallida Broderip 
and Sowerby, but this ascription is absurd, since the latter species is without the 
sutural channel and has a decidedly different outline, besides being a very much 
larger shell. 
Polinices (Huspira) crawfordianus Dat1, n. sp. 
Plate 11, figure 7. 
Shell small, white, smooth, covered by a conspicuous, brownish periostracum ; 
whorls about four, the nucleus eroded; suture distinct, deep; the whorls rather 
full at the shoulder, giving a somewhat elongated aspect to the shell, rounded, 
the last much the largest; sculpture of incremental lines rather feeble and irreg- 
ular, and, on the spire, numerous, not very regular, fine wrinkles radiating from 
the suture and becoming obsolete near the periphery, but absent from the last 
whorl; there are also a few faint, irregular, spiral markings, perhaps pathological ; 
aperture ovate, outer lip thin, simple; body with a thin, whitish callus thicker on 
the pillar, which is arcuate, slightly reflected and with a very narrow umbilical 
chink open behind it ; operculum dark brown, horny, with about two and one half 
whorls. Height of shell, 15.0; of last whorl, 14.0; of aperture, 11.5 ; max. diam. 
11.5 mm.
