Humphreys. 

 Shell three, or sometimes near six inches long, and about half 

 as broad, yellowish with remote, scattered, angulated, longi- 

 tudinal stripes of reddish brown. The base is emarginate, 

 and according to Chemnitz the pillar sometimes has four 

 plaits. The principal difference between V. Magellanica 

 and V. spectabilis of Gmelin, is that the former has four, 

 and the latter only three plaits, which is hardly sufficient to 

 warrant their separation.

Shell near two inches and a half long, and one inch broad, of a 

 whitish colour without any marking. It a good deal resem- 

 bles V. Magellanica, but is smaller, and narrower in pro- 

 portion to the length. It is more cylindrical, and less ven- 

 tricose at the shoulder, and has the spire much less produced 

 than V. flwcicans, of which Lamarck considers it to be a 

 Variety.

 nally, and the summit papillary : pillar with
