Favanne. 

 This species rarely exceeds four lines in length, and the breadth 



rather exceeds half the length ; the colour is either dusky 



white, or tinged with yellow, and a broad band of purple 



zic-zac stripes encircles the middle of the body-whirl ; the 



vitreous protuberance along the pillar-lip renders the shell 



flattish on the side of the aperture.
