This Drillia is remarkable on account of its peculiar 

 coloration. The ground tint is a sort of olive upon which 

 there is a tesselation of squarish whitish dots. The concavity 

 at the upper part of the whorls is more or less brown, and the 

 slight thickeniug at the suture is minutely dotted and spotted 

 with brown. The aperture is very deeply coloured within, so 

 that the labi-um and columella, being yellowish, contrast 

 strongly. Around the middle of the body- whorl a more or 

 less obscure olivaceous zone is observable.
