Inhabits 



Born describes this species to be an inch and three-quarters 

 long, transversely striated at the base, with the spire coro- 

 nated, and the apex decorticated and of a violet colour. 

 Though Born's accuracy may be generally relied on, it ap- 

 pears to me not improbable that in this instance he has 

 figured a decorticated shell of some of the foregoing species. 



capitaneus. 17. Shell conical, yellowish olive, 

 with two white transverse bands, spotted with 

 brown ; spire somewhat conical and striated.
