 This sp' ■ remarkable for its pagodaeform shape, caused by the great contrast between

Varying in colour from yellowish to more dark red-brown, hut quite agreeing in sculp- 

 ture, the specimen from Stat. 162 is a very fine colour-variety, with a white zone at the angle, 

 below the periphery of last whorl and a narrower one on the canal. The quoted figures are 

 nol very satisfactory, still less so the synonymy given by Tryon, who throws together even 

 very different forms. The specimens trom Stat. 2 and 153 are young and dead and could only
