*) Shell conic : whitish (?) : with a few excessively fine striae of 
growth; otherwise smooth and shining: apex subacute: spire much elevated, 
•with the outlines moderately curvilinear: whorls five and one half, a little 
convex, with a distinct suture; last whorl subangular, anteriorly subplanu- 
late: aperture transversely much dilated, depressed in the upper part of the 
right side: labium with a large thick deposit. This shell resembles H. 
Jamaicensis Sow., but is much larger, much less globose, and more conic.
