"Related to the preceding species [V. phillipsii], perhaps 

 a variety of it; 'but the shell is sculptured with close longi- 

 tudinal lines, without ian inf rasutural line ; whorls 6 ; colu- 

 niella straight. Divergence 18 'degrees. Length of the spire 

 .32 inch.; total length of the shell .48, width .13 inch" (Ad,).

The type specimen (pi. 10, fig. 47) is in rather poor con- 

 dition, having holes broken in the last two whorls, and the 

 outer lip is imperfect. It is 12 mm. long, a trifle over three 

 wide. It has straight vertical striae, not oblique or sigmoid, 

 about 7 in a mm. on the front of the last whorl. The suture 

 is hardly crenulated. 



21. V. BLANDIANA (C. B. Adams). PL 10, figs. 48, 49. 



"Shell regularly conic, but very slender: very pale brown 

 or horn, with very dark brown transverse broad bent stripes, 

 about three on each whorl, less distinct on the upper whorls, 

 and wanting on the nuclear whorls : with rather fine regular 

 transverse striae; rather thickly and very finely crenulated 

 at 'the upper margin of the whorls 1 : apex moderately obtuse, 

 smooth on the first whorl : spire very long, with the outlines 

 rectilinear: whorls nine, moderately convex, slightly and 

 acutely shouldered above, with a well impressed suture : aper- 

 ture rather long-ovate, small: lab rum sharp, very thin: colu- 

 mella nearly straight. This species is most nearly allied to 

 A. propinqua. Mean divergence about 16; length .62 inch;
