An exquisite species. The whorls are 14, four 

 attenuate, fusiform, colour white, much impressed at the 

 sutures, the longitudinal lamellae are doubly fimbriate, 

 angled below the sutures, very close, and interstitially 

 transversely latticed. Below the middle of the last whorl 

 are two angles, the lower, or most basal of them, is acute, 

 and spirally extending round the base of the shell, 

 the base itself being spirally crenulate-fimbriate, and 

 within beautifully latticed. Mouth round, peristoma 

 white, shining, continuous. Allied to the large and 

 powerful S. decussata Kien (= Kieneri T. Canefri) in sculp- 

 ture and texture, but the whorls are not so ventricose. 



(fimbriolata, from the fringed appearance of the 

 lamellae.)
