Catalogue of the Marine Shells of Victoria. 189 



Tryon states its length at three inches. Its length is about 

 three-eights of an inch. In his description T. Woods states that 

 there are two or three yellowish-white transverse bands. Speci- 

 mens of our shell only display two transverse bands on the body 

 whorl, and usually one only on the spiral whorls.
