Closely allied to A. glabra, but the mouth is longer, more pro- 

 duced and narrow below, and the shell thinner with strongly pinched 

 base as in A. distorta. It may be found to intergrade with glabra, 

 however, in which case the Trinidad form will stand as a subspecies 

 or variety, as Guppy ranks it in his latest consideration of the 

 subject. 



This form was first described and figured by PfeifFer, many years 

 ago as B. cegotis Menke, the type being from Menke's collection ; 

 but Menke had previously used the name B. cegotis as an equivalent 

 of Volida glabra Gmel., thus preventing the later definition of the 

 form in his collection under the same name.

Shell perforate, ovate-fusiform, solid and strong; whitish, with 

 numerous longitudinal purple-brown stripes, usually waved, and as 

 wide as the light intervals; the spire often flesh colored. Surface 

 smoothish, weakly wrinkle-striate, more strongly so on the back of 

 body-whorl, where the stria? are undulating and in places somewhat
