Inhabits the coasts of New Holland. Leach. 



Shell about an inch and a half long, and half as broad, white, 

 sometimes slightly tinged with yellow, and ornamented with 

 longitudinal dark brown stripes. Dr. Leach's V. lineata 

 differs principally in having the stripes of a paler colour, and 

 in wanting the fifth imperfect tooth on the pillar, and appears 

 to be only a young shell of the same species. 



flavicans. 168. Shell pear-shaped, emarginate, 

 smooth, and scored at the base; spire pro- 

 duced at the summit; pillar four-plaited.
