Shell flisiform wit,li ahout three or four volntions, spire conical;md turreted, the outer volution produced below into a straight anteriorcanal of moderate length. Suture moderately distinct; upper surfaceof the volutions flattened or a little concave, sloping downward from thesuture to the line of greatest diameter, which is marked with a row ofabout 14 or 15 vertically elongate nodes upon each volution; on the volutionsof the spire these norlcs originate at abo.bont the middle and continuedownward to the suture below, which is flexuose on account ofthe projection of the nodes; on the body volution the surface helo~v therow of nodes is gently convex- above, becoming concavc belo~v as itpasses into the anterior canal. Entire surface of the shell marked withfine revolving lines."

Shell fusiform with about four volutions, suture fairly welldefined, outer volution produced below into a short, anterior canal.Outer volution flattened above, the upper surface short, sloping slightlydomnward from the suture to the periphery; below the periphery theslope is long and gently convex. hecoming concave below as it passesinto the anterior canal; periphery marked with about 12 or 14 strongnodes, which are much elongate anteriorly, reaching about half wayfrom the periphery to the extremity of the anterior canal. Volutions ofthe spire not well preserved in the type specimen, hut they are apparentlyangular at about their mid-height and are marked with nodessimilar to those on the periphery of the outer volution.
