stronger cord at the shoulder, which on the apical whorls is peripheral;

obsoletely minutely spirally striated; axial sculpture of rather regular, 
silky, incremental lines; aperture wide, the outer lip sharp, body and 
pillar with a thin layer of enamel; the pillar twisted, the axis pervious, 
the canal wide and strongly recurved, but showing no fasciole. Oper¬

strongly on the earlier ones. Aperture more than half the length of the
