Shell rimate, subcylindrically turreted, pale yellowish white, polished, 

 with close vertical ribbing on all the whorls, the ribs being more or less 

 flattened and obsolete on the last. Spire elongate, becoming more slender 

 above, apex blunt, suture impressed. Whorls 6, convex, the last scarcely 

 ascending in front at the mouth. Aperture nearly vertical, semi-elliptical, 

 with two strong re-entering parietal lamellse — one of them in front to the 

 right near the angle of the mouth, slightly twisted inside, the other to the 

 left near the columellar margin, commencing at a distance within the 

 mouth, and curved ; there are also two or three small depressed lamelliform 

 palatal teeth ; but they are seen with difficulty from the front. Peristome 

 white, expanded, the margins united by a callus bearing the parietal folds, 

 the right margin curved back near the angle. Length 0'15, diam. 05, 

 length of aperture 0'025 inch. 



I have named this shell after the discoverer instead of adopting the term 

 he had given to it in MS., as the latter might be objected to and changed. 

 I have no specimen myself at present, but there are four in the British 

 Museum. The form is peculiarly distinguished by the absence of any 

 teeth in the peristome itself, although there are two or three at a little 

 distance inside tlie aperture, and two folds on the callus joining the margins 

 of the lip. In general form there is some resemblance to E. exilis.
