xxvi., part 3, p. 407, pl. xxiv., fig. 232), or only one keel, or 
two or three. The spiral lire around the umbilicus may be 
valid, when the three keels are marked, continuing their series 
as lesser keels to the edge of the umbilicus; or they may be 
distinct and lamellose when the keels are absent. Spiral 
striz are present from suture to umbilicus, and these vary much 
in their visibility. Then the axial striae are sometimes obso- 
lete, sometimes rather distant, sometimes distinct, crowded, 
and erect, especially between the suture and the slit fasciole, 
but also sometimes between the keels at the base.
