Favamie. 

 Shell about three or four inches long, and not much mpre than 

 two-thirds as broad, of a greenish colour mottled with white, 

 and variegated with a few chestnut spots ; the summit of the 

 spire is reddish, and the aperture silvery ; the whirls are 

 strongly grooved transversely, and slightly wrinkled longitudi- 

 nally. I am not certain that 1 know this shell, but suspect 

 it is only a Variety of T. setosiis. 



SETOSUs. 42. Shell ventricose, transversely grooved 

 and striated ; aperture somewhat produced 

 at the base, and the inside grooved and 

 silvery.

Shell about three inches long, and nearly two and a half broad, 

 mottled with green, white, and dark chestnut spots, forming 

 obsolete longitudinal stripes; it has six whirls which are 

 slightly wrinkled longitudinally, and strongly grooved trans- 

 versely, with the ribs becoming somewhat alternately smaller 

 towards the middle of the body-whirl; the aperture is 

 silvery, transversely grooved, and slightly produced at the 

 base. Kaemnierer considered it to be a Variety of the fore- 

 going species.
