The usual form of the shell is darker than A. a. vittata, both in 

 the shade of yellow on the early postembryonic whorls and in the 

 reddish-brown banding on the last whorl. Large series of shells of 

 A. a. vittata and A. a. vittata var. i are separable, but individual 

 specimens from each race are indistinguishable. The usual form of 

 vittata var. i (pi. i, fig. 9) has the first half postembryonic whorl 

 white axially streaked with cinnamon buff, penultimate whorl white 

 axially streaked with cinnamon buff", spirally banded with dark 

 vinaceous brown and white, last whorl banded and lined with white 

 and dark vinaceous drab, below the periphery lines of dark vinaceous 

 brown ; impressed sutural band shades from tawny, on the first whorl, 

 to cinnamon on the last ; subsutural band on the last whorl also cin- 

 namon; lip and columella callus vinaceous fawn. Length 18.8 mm., 

 greater diameter 12.5 mm., spire height 9.5 mm., number of whorls 6. 



An elongate specimen (pi. 4, fig. 15) measures: Length 18.6 mm., 

 greater diameter 11.6 mm., spire height 10.5 mm. ; first postembryonic 

 whorl and penultimate whorl, white faintly tinted and axially streaked 

 with pinkish buff and lined with cinnamon, last whorl above the 

 periphery white, lined and streaked with pinkish buff, and a band of 

 snuff brown above the periphery, peripheral band white with a line of 

 chocolate at the upper margin of the band, below the periphery banded 

 and lined with dark vinaceous brown ; impressed sutural band changes
