A highly interesting little shell. It is narrowly umbilicate, fusiform, roundly turreted, dirty white, seven whorled, two being apical and glassy, the rest somewhat compressed, closely variced, the lamellae twice or thrice crenulate or undulose, the spaces between are smooth, the aperture roundly -oval, the lip is thickened, without wavy-wrinkled, and towards the columellar base it is slightly produced. Seeming from the figure to be near S. soluta Ad. One specimen, but quite full-grown. (erannos, lovely.)
