brown-tinged at the suture and above the fasciole. eolumellar 



plaits brown. Length, -75 inch. 



Habitat unknoicn. 



A.fasciata. ReeA'e (fig. 22), appears to be the same species. It 

 may be the young of A. marginata. Lam., from which the brown 

 columella appears to be the principal distinctive character.

This is a shorter species than A. ruhiginosa ; yet I separate it 

 with hesitation. A. pyramidolis, Reeve (fig. 29), and A. tricolor, 

 Graj- (fig. 30), a juvenile,^, mucronata, Sowb. (fig. 31), probably, 

 and possibly A. ohtusa, Swains, (figs. 32, 33), from the Cape of 

 Good Hope, are synonyms.

 band of the body-whorl invested with a thick flesh-colored or 

 slightly brownish callus; sometimes the spire and fasciole are 

 pure white; operculum oblong, rather large and thin.
