interior, but occasionally a specimen may be seen without bands. 

 Among the specimens before me, the crebristriata has about fifteen 

 striae, the capillaris about twentj'-six, and the imprcssa about twenty- 

 eight. These raised, rounded striae cause, in all the three species, 

 a beautiful crenated outer lip. The aperture is about half the length 

 of the shell, and the apex is usually decollate. The brown lines of 

 the interior do not reach the edge of the outer lip. In some speci- 

 mens the columella is so much thickened that it reminds one of the 

 genus Lithasia. — Lea.

♦This old species, fig:ureU by Born and described in full in Deshayes' edition of Lamarck, 

 is certainly not an American shell, although attributed to Virginia. Its characters are 

 entirely of the East Indian type.
