180 DESCRIPTION OF 



Hab. Robinson County, Tenn. Dr. Currey. 



My Cabinet, and Cabinet of Dr. Currey. 

 Diam. .28, Length .90 of an inch. 



Remarks. — This is rather a slender shell, and is peculiar for its numerous 

 folds, which are slightly curved and parallel. They extend over the v^hole 

 shell, except the inferior half of the body whorl. The aperture is about one- 

 third the length of the shell.

Hab. Barren River, Ky. Dr. Currey. 



My Cabinet, and Cabinet of Dr. Currey. 

 Diam. .27, Length .73 of an inch. 



Remarks. — Two specimens of this species are before me, which I owe to the 

 kindness of Dr. Currey of Nashville, after whom I name it. It is remarkable 

 for its large and strong folds. It is without strise, and the body whorl is 

 smooth, except near to the suture. The aperture is about one-third the length 

 of the shell. One of the specimens has quite a dark purple aperture, and the 

 lip is thickened and reflexed. In these two specimens the ribs seem disposed 

 to alternate in size.

Shell folded, conical, rather thin, striate, yellowish brown ; spire elevated ; sutures irregularly impressed ;
