Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
U. S. Grant, IV and H. R. Gale 1931Shell solid, conically globose, variable m shape; whorls four, in most cases only three visible when the outer shell layer is intact; callus very large, fillmg the posterior angle between the outer lip and the body whorl and extending around the columellar edge of the large uml)ilicus in a tongue-shaped mass, coalescing with another mass which extends over the rest of the umbilicus from about the middle of the inner lip, the two calluses separated by a more or less distinct shallow groove, the calluses completely covering over the lunl^Uicus or leaving only a rounded hole at the outer anterior corner, the calluses bounded by an impressed edge next to the umbihcal wall; size variable, like the shape. Average dimensions: Long. 30 mm., lat. 20 mm., or vice versa.
