whorls 5, slightly convex, with. a narrow canaliculate suture. First whorl with rather distant ribs. 

 Next whoi^l with 3 spiral lirae and radiating ribs; last 3 whorls with 5 spirals and thinner 

 radiating ribs, which make the shell cancellated; these ribs become lamellose on the lower 

 whorls ; lirae beaded where the ribs cross them, less obvious on the lower whorls, the uppermost 

 of the lirae on each whorl with a series of small tubercles, giving a coronated appearance to 

 the whorls. Last whorl rounded, the peripheral spiral being only very little prominent. Base 

 convex, with 6 beaded lirae, cancellated by numerous, irregular, radiating- ribs. Aperture nearly 

 rounded, outer and basal margins rounded, thin, thickened interiorly, with about 1 7 short lirae 

 on the internal rib, of which that near the columella slightly tooth-like. Columella cylindrical, 

 rather straight, with a tooth-like fold at the base, bordering a rounded notch, parietal wall 

 callous. Interior of aperture with a few grooves. 



Alt. 7, diam. maj. 5; apert. alt. 2^^, lat. 2^0 Mill. 



Though the only specimen is slightly broken, I have described it, as all the characters 

 were present and the species seemed to be new. I know no species in the group Pcrrinia 

 which is nearly allied to it.
