 almost twice as broad as high, and elliptical. The cylindrical colu- 

 mella passes gradually into the blunt thick outer lip. The color is 

 brownish-white, perhaps bleached. Alt. 9 2 mill., diam. the same.

Shell conical, imperforate, granulate, painted with broad purplish 

 maculations and narrower white streaks ; base purplish, concentrically 

 sculptured with about 10 elevated, granulate lines ; whorls subangu- 

 late below the middle, the last rounded at the circumference ; 

 penultimate whorl with 7, last with about 9 granulose cinguli ; 

 aperture subrhomboidal, coarctate ; columella very oblique, entire. 

 (PJiU.) 



The shell consists of 7 to 8 whorls, of which the upper are quite 

 flat, the rest angled below the middle, the penultimate divided from 

 the last by a notable constriction ; the last whorl is rather rounded 

 at the circumference, flat on the base. On the third whorl I count 

 6 granose lirte , on the following 7, separated by an elevated inter- 

 stitial line ; and on the last whorl 9. The base has 10-12 granose 

 concentric ridges. The aperture is pretty rhomboidal, seeming to be 

 narrowed by the thick peristome, and has a very oblique entire 

 columella. Large purple spots, darker, almost black at their front 

 edges, are separated by narrower white streaks ; the apex is blackish, 

 the base dark flesh-color, with a few girdles of brown dots.

Shell conical, carinated, flat on the base, strong, opaque, covered 

 with tubercles, and colored with gray and pink. Sculpture: there 

 are eight spiral rows of small round tubercles on each whorl. The 

 tubercles on the first two rows, are larger than the others ; these, as 

 well as the next three rows, are parted by distinct depressions ; the
