a series of raised rounded circular ribs, which gradually

all of equal size, and each of them with minute longitudinal

Shell strong, conic, pointed, transparent, light horn-co-? 
lor with generally two faint yellowish bands on the larger 
volution : spires seven, flattish and very moderately raised, 
finely and regularly striate throughout in a circular direc¬ 
tion : aperture somewhat oval, with a thin even margin 
not reflected on the pillar : length the eighth of an inch ; 
breadth a third of its length. 
Varletij , More conic, and of a paler color, with yellowish 
blotches on the body volution, which is larger in propor¬ 
tion to the rest. 
A few specimens of this new and rare shell we found 
during our short visit to Seafield in Ireland, with Mr. Bul¬ 
lock. It has some resemblance to the T. insculptus, but dif¬ 
fers in its color and sharp point, in having no duplicature 
or perforation at the pillar, in being more rounded and 
deeply divided, and in not having the small tooth, v.m.
