172 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IO3 



A more usual color pattern and the usual form in the Wilder col- 

 lection (pi. II, fig. 12) has the last two whorls maroon; impressed 

 sutural band mahogany red, the upper portion of which is lined or 

 edged with pale pinkish buff ; lip and columella callus pale vinaceous 

 fawn. Length 19.7 mm., greater diameter 12.8 mm., spire height 

 10.8 mm. In a lot of 69 shells, 11 percent have white sutural bands 

 similar to those of plate 11, figure 11. The postembryonic whorls on 

 this specimen are particularly dark, being seal brown. 



One or two specimens in area 94 have a yellowish color pattern 

 (pi. II, fig. 13), the embryonic whorls warm buff'; first half post- 

 embryonic whorl warm buff* lightly axially streaked with ochraceous 

 tawny, on the penultimate and last whorl above the periphery, the 

 upper third of the whorl, including the impressed sutural and sub- 

 sutural bands, amber brown faintly axially streaked with pale 

 orange yellow, below which the middle third of the whorl has a band 

 of dusky brown which is faint on the early whorls and does not really 

 start until the second half of the penultimate, just above the edge of 

 the periphery a band of pale orange yellow, tinted with amber brown, 

 which becomes narrower on the last half of the whorl, below the 

 periphery dusky brown faintly tinted or streaked with pale orange 

 yellow, in the umbilical region a band of mars yellow.

In area 108 the shells are dominantly white color forms mixed with 

 heata color patterns. The usual form of the shell (pi. 3, fig. 22) has 

 the embryonic whorls a dilute shade of light buff; remainder of the 

 shell white except for about 3.5 mm. behind the edge of the lip, where 

 the ground is tinged with naples yellow ; lip and columella callus white. 

 Length 19.4 mm., greater diameter 12.7 mm., spire height ii.o mm. 



An extremely obese shell (pi. 12, fig. 17) is pure white;' the embry- 

 onic whorls are worn and lack the shell nacre ; the lip and columella 

 callus white, outer margin of the lip clay color. Length 19.2 mm., 

 greater diameter 13.5 mm., spire height 9.8 mm. A narrow shell 

 (pi. 12, fig. 18) shows the usual light heata pattern; postembryonic 

 whorls white, last postembryonic whorl above the periphery with a
