A very distinct form, remarkable for its “‘ terebra-like ” pro- 
duced spire, its contracted or appressed whorls (especially 
the last) ; the spiral, undulating sculpture is more acutely 
prominent thanin any formI know; all the whorls, except the 
last, have a light longitudinal ribbing as well; of a light 
yellowish-green colour, prettily marbled with brown. Anfr. 
8; long. 274, diam. 75%, mil. 
No figure in M. Brot’s work gives an idea of it—pl. 26, 
fig. 11A, being the nearest; pl. 74, fig. l of the Con. Indica 
resembles it, only the last whorl is too ventricose, &c. 
subvar. subplicifera.
