Probably a young specimen, (total length 7 Mill.) without prominent characters, resembling 

 the preceding species, but the part of peristome, near vertex, not or scarcely contorded. I can 

 not identify it, but think it is not advisable to describe it as new.

Stat. 102. 6°4'.i N., I20°44'E. 535 M. i Spec. 



Shell oval, ventricose, rather solid, yellowish-brown. Sculpture consisting of some spiral 

 lirae, about 1 2 in number on the upper part of shell, occupying also the upper umbilical pit, 

 and of which the lower 2 are considerably flatter; these lirae and not less their interstices are 

 crossed and consequently cancellated, by finer, but still sufficiently conspicuous, radiating riblets; 

 below the last of the lirae, run 2 spiral rows of fine punctures. Near the base run a few spiral 

 rows of strong punctures, the 2 most basal ones accompanied by lirae, then follow higher on 

 3 rows of larger punctures, with nearly flat interstices and still higher up 2 spiral rows of small 

 punctures ; at last near the base of the otherwise nearly smooth median zone, still one row of 

 very small punctures; this smooth space is crossed by irregular, sometimes fold-like growth- 

 striae. Spire concave, with a small patch of enamel at its bottom, otherwise lirate, as described 

 above, with a rounded rim. Aperture elongate, moderately narrow above, wider below; peristome 

 strongly contorted near the vertex, then produced in a narrow wing ; outer margin regularly 

 convex, basal margin rounded; columellar side of body very convex, with a rather thick layer 

 of enamel, which is rugose (perhaps abnormal), columella concave, broadly spread over the 

 umbilical space. 



Alt. from vertex to base of apert. 5^0, lat. 4 ; apert. alt. 6, lat. above Y31 below 2 Mill. 



This species is remarkable for its prominent sculpture of upper part of body-whorl. I 

 find no nearly allied species.

I can find no differences with Preston's description and figure of specimens from the 

 Andaman Islands, only one of the specimens from Stat. 37 has a length of 1372 Mill, instead of 11.
