 Of Dominica specimens collected by Ramage, Smith writes: 

 "Three specimens from Dominica are very different in colouring 

 from the type as figured by Delessert (Recueil, pi. xxvii, fig. 3). 

 They are of a warm reddish-pink color, banded with purple-black. 

 The upper whorls exhibit two bands, one just beneath the suture ami 

 the other, a trifle broader, rather below the middle. The body-whorl 

 has a third zone beneath the centre somewhat narrower than the one 

 above it. The fine spiral stria? correspond with those of the typical 

 form, and the minute pitting of the dark apical whorls is the same." 



Var. albicans Maze. Shell entirely white except the earlier three 

 whorls, which show faintly three brown bunds.

There is also a clear lemon-yellow tinted whitish form of this vari- 

 ety, agreeing with the banded specimens in contour. Bland has 

 already reported it from St. Christopher under the name Jiii/i/inis 

 multifatciattu. 



W. Ci. Binney has described the jaw and radula of a shell from 

 Antigua, which he refers to Li,,slr<i<'iix multiftUciattU (Ann. N. Y.
