A. Testa ovato-cylindraced ; spird conoided ; apice acuto ; anfractibus sex con- 

 vexiusculis ; transversim striatis ; columella icniplicatd ; labro acuto, intus non sulcato. 



Shell ovato-cylindrical, with a slightly elevated spire, and acute apex ; volutions 

 six, slightly convex ; finely striated on the body of the shell, more coarsely so at 

 the base ; columella with one fold ; outer lip sharp, ridges not visible on the inside. 



Axis, -f ; diameter, -^g of an inch. 



Locality. Cor. Crag, Sutton. 



Red Crag, Sutton. Recent, British Seas. 



Of this species I have found but very few specimens, from either the Red or 

 Coralline Crag. It appears to be distinct from the preceding, and I do not perceive 

 any sufficient character by which it can be separated from the recent British species. 

 The upper part of the volutiou is flatter than in A. noes, the aperture being sharply 

 acuminated at the junction of the outer lip with the body whorl, and consequently 

 it has not so high a shoulder. Mr. Sowerby must have had an imperfect specimen 

 for his figure, as, in his description, he says " columella without a plait ;" in my 

 specimens the fold is very distinct, though less prominent than in A. noa. Aperture 

 three fifths of the length of the axis. 



3. Action subulatus. S. Wood. Tab. XIX, fig. 7, a — b. 



Action subulatus. S. Wood. Catalogue 1842. 



A. Testa elongato-ovatd, subulatd; spird elevatd, apice acuto ; anfractibus septem 

 convexiusculis, subdepressis, transversim tenuissime striatis; aperturd ovato-angustd ; 

 columella uniplicatd. 



Shell elongato-ovate, tapering, with an elevated spire, and acute apex ; whorls 

 seven, slightly convex, somewhat depressed, transversely striated ; striaa broader 

 and coarser at the base ; outer lip thin, with an obtuse fold upon the columella. 



Axis, f of an inch. 



Locality. Red Crag, Sutton.
