lines. Whorls, 4-|rds, scarcely rounded, with a very light suture. 

 Aperture, very slightly expanded ; semielliptical, widest in the upper 

 third of the labrum, very oblique. Labrum, pectinated by the spiral 

 carinae ; double, very slightly reflected. Labium, slightly below the 

 plane of the labrum, well detached from penult whorl, but connected 

 with it by five or six of the spiral carinae ; arcuated to the left above 

 into a sharp angle with the labrum, very much curved below to the 

 right. Umbilicus, very small and deep. Labral lamella, strongly 

 produced above, but immediately lost in the umbilicus. Operculum, 

 semielliptical, planular, with fine granulations on the labral side, and 

 concave on the labial side, with a raised ridge all round, which is 

 much thickened and rounded, and highly raised about the lower part 

 of the labral side. 



Height 0-081, greatest breadth 0-103, least breadth 0'08.

Hab. Peace River, Manchester. 



Operculum, very slightly concave, with two strong lamellae cross- 

 ing its centre horizontally, and on the labial side two much finer 

 ones above, and three or four below.

Hab. ? Hanover. 



Form, depressed conic. Colour, pale horn. Sculpture, lines of 

 growth visible ; sixteen strong, but not much raised inequidistant 

 spiral carinae, those round the umbilicus being most prominent, with 

 here and there one very fine carina intervening. On the upper 

 whorl, 5 carinae. Spire, moderately elevated with very slightly con- 

 cave outlines. Apex, obtuse. Whorls, A\, very moderately convex, 

 with a lightly impressed suture. Aperture, subsemicircular, slightly 

 spreading. Labrum, subangularly produced from the body-whorl, 

 not abruptly produced, deeply pectinated by the spiral carinae. La- 

 bium, slightly detached from the body-whorl, very slightly curved 

 below to the right ; much below the plane of the labrum. Umbilicus, 

 very deep and narrow. Labral lamella, very little, but sharply, pro- 

 duced, not concealing the umbilicus. Operculum, slightly concave, 

 finely granulated in the hollow with three strong apparently not ser- 

 rated horizontal lamellae, extending from the labral side over two- 

 thirds of the width of the operculum, and one equally strong between
