138 PLEIOOENE FOSSILS. 



nodulosis, ad basim obsoletis; labro crasso, intus crenulato tribus ad canalem posteriorem 

 dentibus instructo; labio Icevi, una conspicua plica superne instructo; columella complanata; 

 apertura bi-canaliculata. 



Description. Shell oval, thick; spire short; whorls finely sulcated and striated spirally, 

 transversely costated, compressed ahove, and channeled below the suture; costse widely 

 separated, nodulous above and obsolete at the base; labrum thick, crenulated with three 

 prominent teeth at the posterior canal ; columellar lip smooth, with one prominent plait 

 above ; columellar flattened ; aperture bi-canaliculated. 



This shell resembles the recent species of the coast, P. cataratca, Lam., but can be 

 readily distinguished by the three prominent teeth on the labrum at the entrance of the 

 posterior canal. The artist has failed to exhibit distinctly the characteristic teeth on 

 the labrum.
