Teeth from radula; x 300. with small, but distinct outer cusp. Eggs nearly globular, about 2*7 mm. across, young shells much less angulate at periphery than in kirki; the shell varies a little in diameter, the broader specimens having slightly more convex sides than the narrower. Originally described from Mombasa, this is the commonest species of the genus, being known from Zanzibar, Kenya Colony, Nyasaland, Tanganyika Territory and the Belgian

The shells which I attribute, with much diffidence, to this species are far shorter and comparatively more obese than boivini, which they resemble in sculpture. The sides are straight, apex submamillate, 7 convex whorls, columella concave, margin broadly reflexed, umbilicus narrow. A full-grown Mtisherra example measures Long. 14-9, lat. 7-9; apert. alt. 6-3, lat. 3-7; last whorl 9-5 mm. Young shells well angulate at periphery until the last whorl. Hab. LORENZO MARQUES.
