Balabac Island. 



In a series of four specimens from Fulton, collected by Everett, 

 and six collected by Steere, no two are alike in markings or size. 

 The smallest specimen before me is figured, pi. G6, fig. 42. It has 

 5^ whorls and a peripheral brown band. The largest shells have 

 fully 7 whorls. Steere collected green-lineate specimens with and 

 without a red sutural line connecting with the typical quadrasi.

 periphery and usually another midway, the columellar region pale or 

 stained with red ; suture with a pale or a red margin. Aperture 

 usually dark within, the lip white, columella white or pink. Some- 

 times the stripes coalesce to a uniform bluish band over the whole
