tion of the ante-penultirnate whorl and its solid structure ; it is 

 waxy yellow when fresh and the fine costulation does not become 

 obsolete at the base, as usual in other allied species. The largest 

 specimen measures : diam. maj. 11, min. 7|, alt. 8 m.m. 



The figure in Hanley and Theobald's " Conch. Indica" does not 

 appear to represent this species, but rather the next. The upper 

 side of the penultimate whorl is never so gibbous and the aper- 

 ture, I believe, never so truncate and biangular in front, as shewn 

 in that figure ; it is moreover always narrowly rounded. 



The young shell consisting of the first 5 whorls is, as usually, 

 quite regularly coiled, carinated at the periphery, and only dis- 

 tinguished from similarly formed species of Helicid^ by having 

 the outer lip above always somewhat produced and peculiarly 

 sinuous. 



The animal is uniform pale yellowish white, often slightly more 

 yellowish on the fore part of the body. 



Hob. This species was met with only on the limestone hills at 

 the so-called " Farm-caves," the original locality where it was 

 described from.

I have only lately received a single specimen of this interesting 

 epecies through Mr. Theobald. It is allied to St. Sankeyanns, and 

 it does not appear improbable that Hanley and Theobald's fig. 7,
