 spire consisting of four not very oblique, but rapidly decreasing volutions, terminating 

 in an acute apex ; suture well marked, but not deep ; aperture ovate ; outer lip smooth. 

 Length not quite a quarter of an inch ; breadth somewhat more than one eighth of an 

 inch." (Brown.^)

Diagnosis. — " Spiral, turriculated ; whorls convex, their upper edges adpressed 

 against the next above ; without spiral band ; mouth oblong, attenuated above, effused 

 below, with a sigmoidal edge to the right lip ; no umbilicus (?) ; surface covered by 

 longitudinal threads or ridges generally arched."^ (Phillips.)
