1977 Wilkes 400

The 1977 Wilkes 400 was a NASCAR Winston Cup Series racing event that was held on October 2, 1977, at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

By 1980, NASCAR had completely stopped tracking the year model of all the vehicles and most teams did not take stock cars to the track under their own power anymore.

Background

North Wilkesboro Speedway was a short track that held races in NASCAR's top three series, including 93 Winston Cup Series races. The track, a NASCAR original, operated from 1949, NASCAR's inception, until the track's closure in 1996. The speedway briefly reopened in 2010 and hosted several Stock Car Series races, including the now-defunct ASA Late Model Series, USARacing Pro Cup Series, and PASS Super Late Models, before closing forever in the spring of 2011. The track is located on U.S. Route 421, about five miles east of the town of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. It measured 0.625 miles (1.006 km) and featured a unique uphill backstretch and downhill frontstretch.

Three drivers entered the 1970 Wilkes 400 in a very close points race. Bobby Isaac was just ahead of James Hylton, and Bobby Allison was close behind. But Richard Petty, who was out of the points because of a shoulder injury suffered at Darlington in May, was considered the favorite to win the race. Isaac started from the pole for a record-tying fourth consecutive time, matching Fred Lorenzen and Herb Thomas with a qualifying lap time of 21.346 seconds / 105.406 mph. Fans were given quite a show as Isaac and Petty exchanged the lead a total of 11 times throughout the race. Isaac, in the Nord Krauskopf's K&K Insurance Dodge, led 179 laps and took the win by six car lengths over Petty. Petty, who had started the race in third position led the most laps in the race with 216. Bobby Allison started fourth and finished fourth behind his brother, Donnie Allison. And Hylton finished fifth at the end of day. Isaac advanced to become the 1970 Winston Cup Champion at season's end, with Allison being the runner-up in points.

Bad weather in 1971 caused the Wilkes 400 to be postponed to November 21. Due to the Grand National Series' struggling car counts, cars from NASCAR's Grand American Series were allowed to run in this race. Charlie Glotzbach broke the track record in qualifying at 20.919 seconds / 107.558 mph. It was the first lap ever run under 21 seconds at North Wilkesboro, ending Bobby Isaac's run of five consecutive poles at the track. Tiny Lund, driving a 1970 Camaro, qualified sixth and led just seven laps on his way to the victory. Lund also won another race driving the Camaro that season at Hickory. Glotzbach finished second, six seconds behind Lund, after leading 76 laps in the race. Richard Petty started from the outside pole and led 306 laps to finish third. Dave Marcis finished fourth, two laps down, and Benny Parsons rounded out the top five. Bobby Allison was the only other driver to lead, running 11 laps out front before losing an engine prior to the half.

The Wilkes 400 in 1972 was one of the wildest finishes in NASCAR Cup Series history. Buddy Baker won the pole in the No. 71 K&K Insurance Dodge owned by Nord Krauskopf, but he only led the first lap of the race. Richard Petty and Bobby Allison swapped the lead for the rest of the race, beating and banging each other for the win. At times was more of a demolition derby than a race. Both cars were destroyed by the end, with Allison's car noticeably smoking. This was the peak of the Petty-Allison rivalry. Petty was declared the winner, but in Victory Lane, a fan tried to attack him. But he was defended by his helmet-wielding brother, Maurice Petty. This was Richard Petty's last of 137 wins in a Plymouth.

In the Gwyn Staley 400 of 1973, Bobby Allison landed on the pole with a qualifying lap of 21.077 seconds / 106.750 MPH. Richard Petty qualified on the outside pole, and in dominating fashion he led 386 laps, winning by over four laps. It was Petty's tenth career win at North Wilkesboro and his 151st career NASCAR victory. Benny Parsons led six laps and finished second. Buddy Baker finished third in the No. 71 K&K Insurance Dodge owned by Nord Krauskopf. Allison lead seven laps and finished fourth in the race. Cecil Gordon rounded out the top five finishers. Yvon DuHamel, a top AMA road racer from Quebec, drove a Mercury prepared by Junie Donlavey and finished in tenth place in his only career Cup race. Twenty of the 30 cars that entered the race were running at the finish.

In the Wilkes 400 of 1973 Bobby Allison, driving for his own No. 12 Coca-Cola team, won the pole position. He and Richard Petty led most of the race, Allison with 161 and Petty with 222. As Petty led the race late, Allison pitted and got fresh tires on a late pit stop, running down Petty and passing him on the final lap. It was considered as one of the most exciting races ever at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

In 1975 the NASCAR Baby Grand Series, later known as Goody's Dash Series, ran its first race at North Wilkesboro, with a win by Dean Combs

Bullay

Bullay, catholic church (Pfarrkirche Sankt Maria Magdalena) in the village

Bullay is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Cochem-Zell district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Zell, whose seat is in the municipality of Zell an der Mosel.

Geography

The municipality lies on the river Moselle across from Alf.

History

It is said to be certain that there was a Roman settlement within the limits of what is now Bullay, which had its first documentary mention as Buley infra Cell in 1150. From 1470 to 1550 there was mining in Bullay. Four baronial noble families held the lordship in the village: Zand von Merl, Boos von Waldeck, von Metzenhausen and von Kellenbach (later von Ladenberg). Beginning in 1794, Bullay lay under French rule. In 1815 it was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia at the Congress of Vienna. In 1879, the Koblenz–Trier line was opened. Since 1946, it has been part of the then newly founded state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Under the Verwaltungsvereinfachungsgesetz (“Administration Simplification Law”) of 18 July 1970, with effect from 7 November 1970, the municipality was grouped into the Verbandsgemeinde of Zell. In 1993 came the highest ever floods in the region, the “Christmas Flood” (Weihnachtshochwasser), also known as the “Flood of the Century” (Jahrhunderthochwasser).

Politics

Municipal council

The council is made up of 16 council members, who were elected by proportional representation at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.

Economy and infrastructure

Transport

Bullay is linked by the double-deck bridge to the Moselle’s left bank, and thereby to Bundesstraßen 49 (towards Koblenz) and 53 (towards Trier).

Bullay lies on the Koblenz-Trier line, completed in 1879, over which it is linked to the Deutsche Bahn InterCity network. Furthermore, the ICE 856/855 stops daily towards 6:00 and 22:00 at Bullay (DB) railway station. This “Environmental Railway Station” is moreover the last station on the Moselweinbahn ("Moselle Wine Railway") running between Bullay (DB) and Traben-Trarbach. From 1905 to 1961, another station, Bullay Süd, was the northern terminus of the Moselbahn running between Trier Nord and Bullay Süd. This line, however, was dismantled in 1961 and a bus service replaced the trains. The double-deck bridge, which carries the railway from the station to the Prinzenkopftunnel is a nationally known work of railway construction.

Asas '50

The Writers' Movement '50 (Angkatan Sasterawan 1950), better known as Asas '50, is the first and oldest literary association in post-war Malaysia. It was founded on 6 August 1950, with a stated philosophy of "Art for Society" (Seni untuk Masyarakat).

Asas '50 was formed in the interest of developing Malaysian literature. Asas '50 currently works to promote and propagate literature through seminars, workshops, forums, dialogues, courses etc.

One important event in the early history of Asas '50 was the debate on the purpose of literature. The debate was between two groups, the Utusan Melayu group, headed by Asraf and the Majalah Hiburan group headed by Hamzah Hussien. The crux of the debate was whether to follow "Art for Society" (Seni untuk Masyarakat) or "Art for Art's Sake" (Seni untuk Seni). According to researcher Athi Sivan (1997), Hamzah propagated the Gautierian called to distance Asas '50 from the left wing ideologies prevalent at that time in Singapore, especially in Utusan Melayu. The debate resulted in Hamzah leaving Asas '50 to form a new literary organisation.

The philosophy held by Asas '50 was described by Keris Mas as follows:

In the field of literature, the proponents of ASAS 50 adopted a new breathe of style, employing a mode of language that is fresh, departing from the preceding genre of writers, propounding the themes of societal awareness, politics and culture with the aim of revitalising the spirit of freedom, the spirit of independence of a people (bangsa) of its own unique sense of honour and identity, upholding justice and combating oppression... We criticised societal backwardness and those whom we regard as the instruments responsible for the birth of such backwardness. We criticised colonialism and its instruments, that is, the elite class, those whose consciousness have been frozen by the influence of feudalism and myths, and superstition that has been enmeshed with religion.

Asas '50 emphasized the use of literature as a means of achieving political change.

Seni Untuk Masyarakat


Asas '50

Seni Untuk Masyarakat

With the motto Seni Untuk Masyarakat (Arts for the People), Asas '50 was inspired by the Indonesian writers movement, Angkatan 45.

It promoted several aims:

  * To free Malay society from those elements of its culture which was obstructing or negating the pursuit of modernity and progress
  * To advance the intellectual awareness of the rakyat (Malay masses) towards the ideals of social justice, prosperity, peace and harmony;
  * To foster Malay nationalism; and
  * To refine and promote the Malay language as the lingua franca of Malaya.

An attempt initiated by Asas '50 to absorb the splinter literary groups such as Grup Gelorasa and Pass into Asas '50 was carried out in 1974. A new slogan "Literature for the Community" was coined to provide a mutual understanding and mission among the new members of Asas '50. The slogan was intentionally generic and without ideological leanings. It was accepted by all the new members of Asas '50.Japanese Occupation.

Language

Asas '50's worked towards the development of the Malay language and was described by kakiseni.com as

the movement that championed the use and development of the Malay language

A number of Asas '50 members are teachers and journalists.

One contribution made by Asas '50 was the introduction of the Roman script to Malay.Jawi writing was initially the modus operandi. However, since the 3rd Malay Language Congress (Kongres Bahasa ke-3) in 1956, under the initiation of Asas '50, Maritime Southeast Asia saw a reformation and revolution in the Malay language arena.Brunei still practices the use of Jawi.

Trends

Asas '50 is the first registered Malay literary association. The association was also involved in the push towards independence for Malaya in the 1950s


Asas '50

The association is the first Malay association to have sealed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Library Board (NLB). In addition, Asas '50 has also published "Leksikon", a directory of descriptions of 70 important writers in Singapore from 1965 to 2005. The launch of "Leksikon" also made Asas '50 the first association to have held an event at the new NLB building at Victoria Street.

Asas '50 has been the country's official representative in learning the development of the Malay literature in the region. The association works with regional literary associations such as Gapena (Malaysia), Asterawani (Brunei), Horisons (Indonesia) and others.

The Asas '50 youth wing was started in 2002 with the mission of shaping the next generation of leaders and activists in the Malay literary scene. This aim was advocated for by Masuri S.N, who believed that the strength of an association is reliant on the youths, who will eventually receive the baton to carry the association into the next phase of its mission. The younger members of Asas '50 comprise a large portion of the trainee teachers of the National Institute of Education Townsville Campus. Today, a number of these members are appointment holders in the association's executive committee.

Publications

To date, Asas '50 has published many books. However, a number of these publications were only produced in the early 2000s, but other books were published independently by members of Asas '50. Among the publications was the 2005 release of Abdul Ghani Hamid's Petikan Rasa/Extracts of Feelings. Funded by National Arts Council via the Singapore Cultural Medallion Grant, the book was a bilingual compilation of Abdul Ghani Hamid's poems and paintings. Another book published by Asas '50 was "Memoir Perjalanan Mas" in 2004.

The NLB has recognised Asas '50 for its "Singapore Literary Pioneers Gallery" and NLB Online Repository of Artistic Works (NORA) projects. This includes a database collection of Malay writers and manuscripts. Another project piloted by NLB and Asas '50 was the "Potret Tun Seri Lanang."

These were displayed at the special collections section of the NLB.

Bad Timing and Other Stories

Bad Timing and Other Stories is the second official recording by The Triffids,1983. Its four tracks were produced by Robert Ash for White Records Label an imprint of Mushroom Records.

Although the band had admired Ash's work with the Only Ones, they were disappointed with the results. McComb said, "It was good in one way, because it made us realise that the band could produce itself by that stage, and that we'd learnt enough after making 4 records. In fact, we probably should have started producing ourselves earlier. In our case, as long as we have the right engineer, we can make all the right decisions."

The black bootlace orchid was first formally described by Richard Cunningham who sent a specimen and hand-written description to his brother Allan, giving the plant the name Dendrobium cassythoides. Allan Cunningham, in turn sent the description to John Lindley who published it in Edwards's Botanical Register.Leslie Andrew Garay changed the name to Erythrorchis cassythoides.


Erythrorchis cassythoides

In the note to his brother, Richard Cunningham wrote that he had called the plant "Cassythoides, from the prima facie resemblance it has to the genus Cassytha, not only in its leafless character and short racemes of flowers, but in its peculiar bronze or japanned papulose stems - it may be found, that it also resembles it in its climbing propensities."

John Lindley noted "It is not a little remarkable that so highly curious a plant as this should so long have been over looked, although a native of a locality which, as Mr. Allan Cunningham remarks, has doubtless been traversed by Botanists of many countries in Europe, who have visited Port Jackson in ships of discovery since the Colony was founded in January 1788, viz., French, Spanish, German, Swedish, Russian, &c., besides many of our own countrymen."

Distribution and habitat

Erythrorchis cassythoides grows in forest on eucalypts, stumps and logs in near-coastal areas and nearby tablelands between the Blackdown Tableland in Queensland and Waterfall in the Royal National Park, New South Wales.

East Tennessee Female Institute

The East Tennessee Female Institute was an all-female institution of higher learning that operated in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States, from 1827 until 1911. Originally chartered as the Knoxville Female Academy, the school offered high school and college-level courses to the women of Knoxville and surrounding counties in the years before the University of Tennessee became coeducational. With the rise of free public education in Knoxville in the early 1900s, the institute, which was tuition-based, gradually declined.

History

Knoxville Female Academy

Blount College, the forerunner of the University of Tennessee, was chartered in 1794, and was originally open to both males and females.

By the time it was rechartered as East Tennessee College in 1807, however, it was an all-male institution, and Knoxville's leaders began making preparations to establish a school for the city's young women. The Knoxville Female Academy was chartered in 1811, but its trustees struggled for several years to raise enough money to hire faculty and rent a building in which to conduct classes.

In 1826, East Tennessee College made a much-publicized move to a permanent location atop Barbara Hill, and interest in the Knoxville Female Academy was reinvigorated. In April of the following year, the Knoxville Register called on the city's leaders to revive the academy, and by the end of the month the school's trustees had hired faculty (a principal and two instructors) and had made arrangements to hold classes in the home of physician and trustee Joseph Strong. The Reverend John Davis was named the first principal, and classes began on May 7, 1827.

In 1828, the school's trustees began raising funds for a permanent school building. Strong and Matthew McClung each donated their halves of the lot bounded by what is now Henley, Main, and Hill Avenue, while Charles McClung, John Crozier, and several lesser donors contributed money for the building, which was completed in 1829. After Davis resigned, Strong secured the services of Dartmouth graduate Joseph Estabrook, who led the academy until 1834 when he resigned to become president of East Tennessee College. The Knoxville Female Academy graduated its first class on September 30, 1831.

In 1841, the Methodist Episcopal Church took over patronage of the academy, and the Reverend David McAnally was installed as principal. McAnally helped to greatly increase the school's collections, and the school continued to grow under his leadership.

On January 31, 1846, the Knoxville Female Academy was rechartered as the East Tennessee Female Institute, which had the power to confer degrees. Around the same time, the school's trustees began squabbling with the church's representatives, and the board voted to sever ties with the church in 1847.

During the 1850s, two East Tennessee College faculty— George Cooke and R. L. Kirkpatrick— served as principals of the East Tennessee Female Institute. The latter became principal in 1856, and endeavored to keep the institute open amidst the American Civil War in the early 1860s. The Union Army closed the school in late 1863 and used the school building as a hospital. The school reopened in 1866, and operated under various superintendents until 1877, when the building was leased to Knoxville for use as a public school.

In 1885, women's suffragist Lizzie Crozier French and her sister, Lucy, leased the building and reopened the East Tennessee Female Institute. Along with classical subjects, Crozier-French stressed public speaking, and published a text, A Manual of Elocution, for her students. During this period, the Ossoli Circle, a women's club founded by Crozier-French in 1885, held its initial meetings at the institute. The Crozier sisters operated the school until 1890, when the trustees voted to sell the property.

Later years

In 1892, the East Tennessee Female Institute, which had been renamed the East Tennessee Institute and School of Music, began classes in a new building on Main Street. Under the leadership of Professor Charles Ross and a new faculty, the school's enrollment grew to over 100 by 1894.William Rule's Standard History of Knoxville, published in 1900, described the school as having "large, well lighted and ventilated" rooms that were "well supplied with apparatus, books and maps for teaching languages, sciences, art and history."


East Tennessee Female Institute

With the rise of free public education in Knoxville in the late 19th century, the institute had difficulty attracting students willing to pay tuition. In 1911, the school closed, and its building was leased to the University of Tennessee Home Economics Department. In 1919, the school's trustees made a deed of gift of the building to UT, which for several years used the building for its College of Law.

Curriculum

For most of its history, the East Tennessee Female Institute offered a mix of classical studies and "ornamental" studies. During Estabrook's tenure in the 1830s, first-year students learned spelling, reading, geography, and arithmetic. These subjects were continued in the second year, with grammar and mythology added. Third-year students studied history, natural philosophy, rhetoric and botany, while senior students studied astronomy, chemistry, philosophy, and logic. Ornamental subjects included music (mainly piano), painting, drawing, lace making and sewing. After it was rechartered as the East Tennessee Female Institute in 1846, the school conferred "Mistress of Polite Literature" degrees upon its graduates.

Students were required to give weekly recitations on Biblical Scripture, and bi-weekly recitations on other subjects. Public examinations were given twice per year, and were often attended by members of the public and covered by the city's newspapers.

East Tallahatchie School District

The East Tallahatchie School District (ETSD) is a public school district based in Charleston, Mississippi (USA).

In addition to Charleston it serves Tippo.

History

For much of the county's history, public education was only for white students. In 1917, Tallahatchie Agricultural High School was opened as a boarding school to educate negro children, and separate schools were maintained for educating black and white children. Before 1970, a dual system of schools, one for black students and another for whites was maintained, although the black school was closed during the Great Depression due to a shortage of funding.Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education in 1970, segregated schools were deemed illegal, so the school district came up with a plan for "integrating" the schools. The chosen plan kept students and teachers segregated by classroom, but bused students back and forth between East Tallahatchie High School and Allen Carver High School during the day so both schools were technically integrated, although blacks and whites were kept separate. Blacks were not allowed to serve on student government, or as cheerleaders. Many of the black students of Allen Carver protested this arrangement. In response, the sheriff of Tallahatchie County was summoned, and arrested 125 of them, who were briefly incarcerated at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman. The US Federal Government's Community Relations Service intervened, and eventually convinced the school board to relent. The 125 students who had been arrested were allowed back in school, and given the opportunity to take exams that had been missed. Additionally, the schools were truly integrated at the classroom level, and new elections were held to give black children the opportunity to participate in student government, cheerleading, and the adoption of a new school mascot.

In 1992 the district began a project of installing air conditioners in its classrooms, completed by 1993.

Charleston High School held its first racially integrated prom in April 2008.HBO documentary Prom Night in Mississippi. The documentary focused on Charleston High School and the efforts to have a mixed prom instead of the traditional racially segregated proms.

In June 1917, the 163rd Depot Brigade was formed at Camp Dodge.88th Division, which processed new draftees and provided basic training.92nd Division, the "Buffalo Soldiers Division". The 163 Bgde was still at Dodge in April 1918.

Upon the end of the war, the post was downsized and turned back over to state authorities.Second World War, Camp Dodge was again handed over to the federal government; however, this time the post was used only as an induction center for new service members.

During World War II the Camp Dodge was defined as being at the town of Herrold, so many documents reference this name as its post office address. Herrold was surrounded by the camp. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers purchased the town in 1990 to use as a training range.

Along with the numerous National Guard units located at Camp Dodge, the post is also home to the Sustainment Training Center (formerly the National Maintenance Training Center), Mission Training Complex-Dodge (MTC-Dodge), Joint Forces Headquarters, Iowa's emergency operations center, the operations center for the ICN, a MEPS installation, Iowa Law Enforcement Academy, and the State Police academy. The camp is the home of the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum, a member of the Army Museum System.

1981 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship final

The 1981 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship Final was the fiftieth All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1981 All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship, an inter-county camogie tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

A pitch intruder disputing with the referee meant that five minutes of stoppage time had to be played, which was enough for Kilkenny to close a six-point gap in the last eight minutes. In the replay, Cork lost Claire Cronin to injury and a late Angela Downey goal gave the Cats a flattering five-point win.

Bacon Super T-6

The Bacon Super T-6 was a North American AT-6F Texan that was modified during the mid 1950s by the Erle L. Bacon Corporation in an attempt to interest foreign air forces in an upgrade for their T-6 fleets. The aircraft did not receive sufficient interest for production, and only the single conversion was produced.

History

Produced in 1944 and operated by the United States Army Air Forces alongside its brethren, following the end of World War II AT-6F Texan 44-82028 was sold on the civilian market, operating in Iceland for a time before being acquired by Bacon for conversion. Described as appearing "like an illicit hangar affair between a T-33 and a T-6",Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star;jet stack exhaust, augmenter cooling, and a 4-foot (1.2 m) reduction in wingspan compared to the standard T-6; in addition, the cockpit was upgraded with a revised instrument panel and modernized avionics, and the aircraft's brakes were upgraded.

Bacon hoped to sell the conversion to foreign air forces, many of which operated large fleets of T-6 aircraft;Whiteman Air Park in California, and allowed to deteriorate in the elements, with its registration being cancelled in 2013.

Xanthodaphne araneosa

Xanthodaphne araneosa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae.

Description

The length of the shell attains 5.6 mm.

(Original description) The small shell is yellowish, minutely ribbed and faintly spiralled, with a small, broadish, scalar, sharp-pointed spire, a slightly swollen body whorl and rounded base, produced into a square, prominent, one-sided snout.

Sculpture. Longitudinals: there are exceedingly fine, faint, microscopic scratches in the line of growth. At distances of about 1/100 of an inch apart these rise into small, sharpish, round-topped riblets, which run continuously from the suture to the snout, though on the base and below it they become feebler. On the earlier whorls these are of course less marked and more close set. In the intervals of the larger riblets one or two fainter ones occasionally appear. Spirals: below the slightly concave sinus area is an obtuse angulation, accentuated by the slight prominence of the two small spiral threads which lie there. Below this there are on the body whorl above the lip corner about 5 other small spirals not so prominent. On the lower part of the body and on the base they are weaker, but become stronger again towards the point of the base and on the snout. The intersection of these with the spirals produces a slight spider-web-like appearance (on the property the name of the epithet is based).

The colour of the shell is yellowish, without gloss. The protoconch is buff.


Xanthodaphne araneosa

The spire is rather short and broad, scalar, and conical. The protoconch consists of 4½ very small, conical, scalar, convex, buff whorls, parted by a deep suture . The first whorl and half is closely spirally striated with about 10 minute threads. These threads, which are at first almost simple, are by degrees more and more fretted by longitudinals, which break up the threads into minute tubercles. Toward the end of the second whorl longitudinal and oblique bars appear somewhat vaguely and confusedly. But presently the distinct arrangement appears of short little bars above and a network on the lower part of the whorls. The shell contains 7½ whorls in all, but the shell is very likely hardly full-grown. They are almost horizontal above, with a flat or faintly concave sinus-area, slightly angulated at the shoulder, and below this cylindrical or a very little convex to the lower suture. The last is rather short, a little tumid, with a long pillar-line on the left side, and a small square prominent snout on the right. The suture is very slight in consequence of the uplapaperture is oblong, triangularly pointed above, and ending in a very square broadish siphonal canal below. The outer lip is flatly arched, with a slight angulation below the sinus-area and a marked pinch-in where it turns to form the siphonal canal. Its edge-line is very straight and scarcely prominent, but has a high shoulder above, between which and the body lies the deepish, rounded, and open-mouthed sinus. The inner lip is very thin and narrow, and dying out very early on the scarcely oblique, twisted, sharp columella-edge. Its line across the body is very short and convex, but is very concave at its junction with the long, scarcely oblique columella.

Distribution

The holotype of this was found off St. Thomas, Caribbean Sea; also off Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
