four on the last whorl, on the middle of which they disappear, decussated 
by more crowded, delicate grooves, a little undulating, about eight on the 
penultimate whorl, cutting the longitudinal ribs, and extending to the 
origin of the beak, whorls seven, angular, forming a broad shoulder at the 
suture, which is well-impressed, the last one three-fifths the length of the 
shell, abruptly forming a short nearly direct beak. Aperture less than one- 
half the length of the shell, narrow; lip, posteriorly, gently arcuate, sharp, 
and delicately crimped by the striae; pillar arched retrally, then straight, 
smoothly rounded, white; interior white. Length of axis 9/20 of an inch;
