I cannot regard the character of the elongated granules as 
being of any importance, scarcely any two of the shells 
otherwise identical with jit have the line below the sutures 
equidistant from the sutural nodules. 
Shell broader than the last, ribs sharply defined, rather distant, 
white, with a fine brown central line and a broad brown band 
near the suture. 
3 Yellow, with two pale bands. 
Clara, Marr. Pamphlet, p. 7; is white, with two pale brown 
bands, and is deeply grooved between the ribs.
