Shell an inch and a half or two inches long, and rather more 

 than half as broad, reddish, fawn or chestnut-colour, with 

 a band on the body-whirl of paler chestnut, which Bruguiere 

 says appears as if composed of longitudinal spots, and one 

 of Martini's figures has large irregular dark chestnut spots ; 

 the transverse striae are crossed by longitudinal impressed 

 lines, which render them crenulated. Bruguiere has used 

 the name of coronatum for another species to which it is 

 more applicable.
