This species of which I know no good figure, has often been considered to be a variety 

 of the preceding one; it differs in shape, sculpture and colour, as far as I can judge from 

 my specimens from the Philippines, Amboina and Mauritius ; how this may be, the Siboga 

 specimen, though a dead shell, belongs to the elongate form, with deeper sutures, sharper ribs 

 between the varices and mottled brown colour-pattern on a yellowish ground, without the rosy 

 tints of the preceding species.
