  This 
  pretty 
  variety 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  broad 
  a 
  shell 
  as 
  the 
  type, 
  almost 
  

   white, 
  upon 
  which 
  colour 
  the 
  rows 
  of 
  squarish, 
  light 
  brownish 
  spots 
  

   appear 
  more 
  conspicuous 
  than 
  usual. 
  There 
  are 
  nine 
  whorls, 
  of 
  

   which 
  the 
  two 
  apical 
  are 
  smooth 
  and 
  convex, 
  the 
  four 
  succeeding 
  

   ones 
  strongly 
  ribbed 
  and 
  transversely 
  grooved 
  a 
  little 
  beneath 
  the 
  

   suture, 
  the 
  furrow 
  dividing 
  the 
  ribs 
  into 
  two 
  unequal 
  parts. 
  The 
  

   three 
  last 
  volutions 
  are 
  smooth, 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  convex 
  than 
  the 
  

   sculptured 
  ones 
  above. 
  The 
  length 
  is 
  20 
  millim.,
