 spira celata, umbilicatd; apcrtura spiram superante; columella

Judging from the worn shell in the collection of Mr. Bell, the 

 species must have been beautiful, the colour being pale lilac, 

 with a broad band of darker tint, and the outer lip a delicate rose. 

 This shell differs from M. V argillieri in having four folds on the 

 columella, and in the different form of the columellar swelling at 

 the posterior end.

 tribus quarum antica magna maxima, pene duplicata; labio ex- 

 terno crasso, intiis irregulariter crenato, albo, extiis aurantio, vaUde

Oval, pale, reddish, Mith obscure bands and white spots. The 

 outer and columellar lips are both extended beyond the spire as in 

 the Cowries, and the latter forms a raised edge near the mouth, 

 then there are two small folds and one large thick one from which 

 a small tooth is parted. The outer lip is jagged on the inner edge, 

 it is externally orange, with a groove behind its reflected edge. 

 The pale variety, f. 178, is from Mr. Bell's collection, the others 

 are Mr. Cuming's specimens from Bahia, Brazil.
