Description—This species was originally described by Pilsbry (1888) as 
follows: 
“*Shell small, globose, very solid, imperforate, spire conic, more or less 
depressed; suture moderately impressed; whorls 5, slightly convex, the last 
decidedly deflected toward the aperture, encircled by about fifteen subequal 
spiral lirae, separated by interstices about as wide as the ridges; incremental 
striae generally strongly developed, causing the lirae to appear nodose or 
somewhat irregular, and the interstices to appear pitted; aperture oblique, 
nearly white within, about half the length of shell; columella arcuate, base 
obsoletely uni- bi- or tri-dentate; color red, ashen or purple.’’ 
This species was reported from the Farallon Islands and from the 
vicinity of San Francisco by Carpenter (1863, p. 652). It was ob- 
tained in depths up to 20 fathoms. Not collected by the U. S. S. 
“*Albatross.”’ 
Range.—Vanecouver Island to Cape St. Lucas, Lower California

Description.—This species was defined by Pilsbry (1888) as follows: 
‘<Small, pointed-oblong, somewhat solid, yellowish, pinkish or whitish, more 
or less clouded longitudinally with purple, dull pink or gray, marked with 
numerous narrow close revolving descending lines of purple, pink or drab, 
sometimes conspicuously flammulate below the sutures, and broadly transversely 
fasciate on base; whorls 5-6, closely coiled above, with shallow sutures, the 
last more rapidly descending, separated by a deep suture; aperture usually less 
than half the length of the shell, very oblique, short ovate, inner margin arcuate, 
umbilical region excavated and generally minutely perforate.’’ 
This species has been reported from this region by Blankinship and 
Keeler. It is not found in the Survey collections. 
Range—F arallon Islands to Catalina Island, California.
