A well-known species, distinguished by its lengthened contour 

 the length usually about equal to twice the diameter and the con- 

 spicuous olive-yellow, tawny or reddish cuticle. The aperture is 

 quite long, its length exceeding the diameter of the shell, and 

 acuminate above. 



B rhodostomus-a of PfeifFer and of Reeve (pi. 1, fig. 6) is probably 

 a synonvm, Reeve's figure representing an unusually short example 

 streaked with rose-brown, and with the aperture colored, as usual in 

 specimens with brown outside. The original rhodostomus of Gray is 

 of doubtful identity. The description follows: Shell ovate, per- 

 forate, solid, striate, whitish marbled with rose, cuticle thin, olivace- 

 ous ; suture delicately crenulated ; whorls with two obscure, wide, 

 posterior bands, the throat roseate ; peristome a little thickened, the 

 axis deep brown anteriorly. Axis 1^, diam. f inch. Hab. in New 

 Holland ? (Gray). 



The dimensions, length 31.2, diam. 18.7, agree almost perfectly 

 with Reeve's figure of a specimen in Cuming's collection, which 

 however, Reeve ascribes to rhodostoma " with considerable doubt." 

 Gray states that he described a specimen in his own collection, so 

 that it is not likely that Reeve had the type. Upon the whole, it 

 would be inadvisable to reject the name indutus for the earlier but 

 doubtful rhodostomus.
