 times ratlier pointed at the small end, and have but little gloss. 

 The ground varies from a pinkish-fawn colour to a salmon-pink, 

 marked, chiefly in a zone round the large end, with specks and 

 clouds of pale pinkish-brown, inclining to purple. The specimens 

 in the Collection are remarkably uniform in colour and markings.
