be a distinct species). 
Because of its low spire, this shell somewhat resembles №. suteri, but 
several important characters show that it is but distantly related thereto. 
These are the sinuous inner mar; of rture, i sed suture, 
bsence of any trace of a funicle or cireum-umbilical limb, and strongly 
antecurrent outer The salient characters are reminiscen He : 
genus Friginatica, members of which are all very small, and with rather 
elevated spires, but with a sunken suture, and ' ‘ without an umbilical 
funicle or a callus pad at the insertion of the right lip."
