Shell thick, gibbous, with sometimes a slightly angulated

Constantly distinguished by its violet interior. O. lugubris, 

 Lam. (fig. 60), is a dark-colored variet}^ ; 0. quersolina (flg. 59), 

 and 0. atalina, Duclos (fig. 62), are pale or faded specimens. 

 0. fulva, Marrat (fig. 63), is pink with light red spots and 

 indistinct bands, roseate within the aperture : I agree with Dr. 

 Weinkaufi" that it is probably only a variation of 0. epucojyalis.
