more prominent, but are not raised; a faint furrow emerges from suture 
on body-whorl and marks periphery. Spire very little higher than aperture. 
Protoóisuuh of 14 smooth and polished whorls, marked off by a groove from 
whorls proper, of which there are 3, lightly convex, body-whorl very slightly 
subangled for a short distance in front of suture, which is deep and 
channelled. Aperture oval, oblique, angled above. Peristome discon- 
tinuous, outer lip with prominent varix behind, but sharp edge ; slightly 
effuse basally, and angulated medially. Columella short, arcuate, rounded.

In the author's collection is a single worn specimen of a species from 
the Kakanui tuffs which somewhat resembles N. micans (Webster). Apart 
from са foregoing species, it is the only one of this genus yet known from 
pre-Pliocene beds in New Zealand ; it is certainly new, but description is 
withheld till better 4 specimens are obtained.
