RissoA? EXiGUA, Lyc. Tab. XLIV, fig. 11. 



Testa parva, ovato-conica, spira anfractibus (6) plano-convcxis, ant/ustis, sutiiris valde 

 impressis, cosfis loyigitiulinalihus rectis, angustis, 8 — 9 in ainbitu ; apertura, parva, sub- 

 orbiculari, labro externo simplici. 



Shell small, ovately conical ; spire consisting of six flattened or slightly convex, narrow 

 volutions, the sutures being strongly marked ; longitudinal costse elevated, narrow, per- 

 pendicular, 8 to 9 in a volution ; aperture small, suborbicular, outer lip simple. 



A minute lenticular shell, with about eight and a half costal spaces to a volution, the 

 height of each volution being equal to the half of its transverse diameter ; the apex is 

 slightly obtuse, and the last volution is somewhat contracted.

Cerithium? spiculum, Lgc. Tab. XLIV, fig. 1. 



2hsta ovato-elongata, minufa, anfractibus (6) latis subplanis, transversim striatis etlon- 

 gitudinaliter costatis ; costis rectis {Qin ambitu), anfractu ultimo cylindrico, apertura parva, 

 ovata, canali nullo. 



Shell minute, ovately elongated subcylindrical ; volutions (6) wide, rather flattened, 

 transversely striated, and longitudinally costated ; costse straight, six in a volution; the last 

 volution is nearly cylindrical ; the aperture is small, ovate ; there is no canal. 



The costa3, which have little prominence, appear to stretch continuously ; the length of 

 the shell only slightly interrupted by the sutures, which are not strongly marked ; the aper- 

 ture is pupa^form ; the general figure approximates to C. strangulatum, but more lengthened, 

 and with higher volutions.

Cerithium? compositum, Lyc. Tab. XLIV, fig. 9. 



Testa parva, elongato-conica, anfractibus (6) angustis suhplanis, transverse striatis et 

 costatis ; scilicet anfractu ultimo et penultimo costis crebris longitudinalibus rectis, circa 

 18 i?i ambitu; apertura parva, obliqua, ovata, depressa. 



Shell minute, conical, elongated ; volutions (6) narrow, flattened, transversely striated, 

 and longitudinally costated ; but the costse are limited to the two or three latter volutions, 

 they are closely arranged, little elevated, and about eighteen in a volution ; the aperture is 

 depressed, oblique, and ovate.
