crossed by numerous impressed striae, or if one considers their interstices by unequal flat lirae ; 

 1 8 striae on penultimate whorl, of which one, placed at some distance from the suture, has 

 the appearance of a groove ; the ribs nearly reach the base of last whorl, where the number 

 of striae is much more considerable; this last whorl is very long, subangularly rounded below, 

 then strongly contracted. Aperture elongate, narrow, with a not very sharp angle above, ending 

 in a rather long, curved canal below; peristome not intact, columellar margin consisting of an 

 appressed layer of enamel, with a scarcely appreciable groove below, bordering a faint columellar 

 fold. Interior of aperture smooth, white. 



Alt. 35, lat. 4^3 ; apert. alt. 4^/^, Lat. 1^5 Mill. 



The nearest ally of this species may be T. Fortunei Desh. (Journ. de Conch. 1857, p. 79, 

 PI. 4, fig. i), but with probably an equal number of whorls (Deshayes says 20 whorls without 

 the apex, which he suspects may be 5 or 6 more) it is much smaller {T. Fortunei 69 Mill.) 

 there are but 6 spiral striae, of which the first borders the subsutural zone, in the new species 

 this zone is likewise striated, and though the specimen from Stat. 204 has only 12 spiral striae, 

 this number is still twice the number recorded by Deshayes for T. Fortunei.

The specimens belong to the form represented by the quoted figures, with white sub- 

 sutural band, one could think, after Tryon's words. Reeve w^ould have united even T. cinctella Desh. 

 with this species, but Reeve unites only T. approximata Desh. as a synonym, and deals with
