Inhabits Amboyna, and the Isle of France. Favanne. 



This is a rather shorter, and proportionably wider shell than 

 the last, of which Messrs. Favanne considered it to be only 

 a variety, and they say that some traces of the elevated ridge 

 may be occasionally observed in V . cruenta. The colour is 

 white, either pure or faintly tinged with yellow, and there 

 are no markings. Martini considers his fig. 496 to belong 

 to this species, but it is more likely to be a large variety of 

 V. niicans, for which it is quoted by Favanne.

 with the whirls convex ; pillar transversely 

 ridged, with the upper ridge thickest.
