well over the labial side, and also over the labium, not concealing 

 the lowest part of the operculum, but showing the lowest part of 

 the labial side to be broad and spreading, — trumpet-shaped. Un- 

 fortunately I possess but two specimens, ouly one having the oper- 

 culum, which is so firmly fixed in the shell that I dare not further 

 attempt its extraction, and therefore I cannot further examine its 

 extraordinary structure.

Form, subdiscoidal. Colour, very pale horn. Sculpture, lines of 

 growth visible ; seven strong spiral carinse, without intervening fine 

 ones ; three strong, on upper whorls. Spire, slightly elevated, with 

 concave outlines. Whorls, 4, moderately convex, with a lightly im- 

 pressed suture ; last whorl wholly detached from the penult, extend- 

 ing about one-third the widest breadth of the shell beyond it, and an- 

 gularly and pointedly produced above. Aperture, slightly constricted 

 about the point of attachment to the penult whorl, then bulging or 

 swelling out and becoming slightly constricted at the labrum ; semi- 

 elliptic, but modified by the below-mentioned depression of the 

 labrum, and production of the last whorl, and also, in a correspond- 

 ing degree, on the lower side. Labrum, produced above to an extra- 

 ordinary degree at the second carina, and there very much depressed 

 or bent inwards, thickened and reflected ; very slightly scolloped by 

 the spiral carinse. Labium, much detached from the penult whorl ; 

 upon a plane with the lower part of the labrum, but much below it 

 above ; slightly sinuate above, and very much so to the right at its 

 junction with the labrum below. Umbilicus, moderately deep, only 

 partially concealed by the labial lamella, which is narrow and shortly 

 incurved towards the umbilicus. Operculum, • ?

Form, subdiscoidal. Colour, pale horn. Sculpture, lines of growth 

 visible ; three fine spiral carinse and one strong, and so on until the 

 fifth strong carina, below which, round the umbilicus, are six fine 

 carinae ; on the upper whorls one strong in the centre of six fine 

 carinse. Spire, depressed with convex outlines. Whorls, 3f , slightly 

 convex, with lightly impressed suture. Aperture, separated from 

 penult whorl in an elegant curved line, more than semicircular,
