Shell two inches long, and hardly one third as broad, black,

Martini's figure of this shell resembles V. Caffra both in size 



and colour, but the white stripes are longitudinal, and the 



teeth on the pillar obsolete. 



morio. 111. Shell fusiform, slightly emarginate, 

 round, and smooth ; pillar with three plaits.

Linnaeus says this species is very like V. Caffra, but is brown, 

 with one white transverse line at the base of the body-whirl 

 only ; the shell is thicker, and the spire not striated ; pillar 

 without any inner lip, and with only three small plaits. Lin- 

 naeus has referred only to Seba, t. 49- f. 21 and 22, and has 

 also referred to the same figures for V. Caffra.

 angular, unarmed and transversely striated ; 

 pillar four-plaited; throat striated.
