DESCRIPTION. 145 



Lister Conch, tab. 840. fig. 68. 



Specimen white with large bright yellowish red 

 spots. This second variety differs in many respects 

 materially from the first. It is always much smaller, 

 seldom exceeding the size of the specimen, whereas 

 the other is usually from three to six inches in 

 length ; the denticulate margin of the whorls is not 

 compressed towards the suture ; the transverse 

 triple row of impressed points is more distinct, and 

 the holes are deeper on the body than on the su- 

 perior part of the spire ; the red spots are much 

 larger in proportion to the shell, and paler. The 

 outer lip is not denticulate. 



Inhabits the Indian Ocean.
