Vc frotdlle 315 Pephnelia bathentoma, nu. sp. PI. xxviii., fig. 33/43 
Shell small, white, thin, of 5 whorls, including the pro- 
minent conical protoconch of 2 convex elate whorls, with 
exserted apex. Spire-whorls have a corded obtuse angula- 
tion, with a slope from the upper suture, somewhat constrict- 
ed towards the lower. Body-whorl with a second angulation 
starting from the suture at the aperture; below this the base 
is rapidly concavely contracted. Aperture obliquely oval. 
Canal short. Outer lip thin, simple, biangulate ; with a deep, 
narrow sinus at the suture with parallel margins; in profile 
slightly convex to the front angulation, then concave to the 
edge of the canal. Columella very long, nearly straight. 
When looked at from the apex the shell is faintly polygonal, 
with ten angles in a spiral (in a cotype these are produced 
into transverse sharp tubercles). A single spiral runs be- 
tween the angulation and the upper suture, and in the body- 
whorl bounds the front of the posterior sinus. Another lies 
midway between the angulation and the lower suture. In 
the suture, the second angulation of the body-whorl may ap- 
pear as a sutural cord. This bounds the back of the posterior 
labral sinus. Axials concave forward run from the suture 
to the nearest spiral, then straight and very obliquely from 
this to the first angle, then vertically to the next angle, and 
are lost on the base; they do not cross the spirals or stand 
erect. 
Dim.—Uength, 2°8 mm.; of the body-whorl, 1°8 mm. ; 
breadth, 1°45 mm. 
Locality.—Type from 104 fathoms 35 miles south-west 
of Neptune Islands, with 10 others good, all dead.
