latere antico brevi, subacuminato, lunula distinct^,; latere postico 

 subquadrato, margine dorsali elevato ; ligameuto retuso. 



Shell of a somewhat rounded oval form, white, with angular 

 markings, and a light greenish epidermis, concentrically striated; 

 anterior side short, with a distinct lunule ; posterior side rather 

 squared, with the dorsal margin elevated, and the ligament nearly 

 hidden. 



The larger specimen figured is in Mr. Cuming's collection, from 

 St. Elena ; the smaller, which, although less ventricose and more 

 oval, resembles the younger portion of the other, is Mr. Hanley's.

 and is in Mr. Hanley's possession.
