The species, like fliu foregoing one found living; at Iii)n;;ki>nj;, wit-* aUn,

 the whorls more convex, less numerouH and more quickly ta|ierin|; to the apex. 

 The siz'j of the fossil specimens of .Iaj)an is exactly that which Gould notus, viz., 

 2.7 mm. in length or somewhat alxjve, I mm. in diameter.

The long, subulated, almost cylindrical form of the shell, together with the 

 flatness of the whorls, which have in fact but a very narrow l»elt in their lowor 

 part ta]>ering towards the suture, distinguish tliis species, which is very rarcly 

 (and scarcely ever in entire si>ecimons) found at Oji, froni all tho otlier s|)flciua 

 described from the Pacific coasts, and other iocalitit«. The shell is said by 

 I'hilippi, Merian, Sfiever anil other autlioi-s to occur in the German upper oliffo- 

 ncne (lowest miocenel strata.
