thick ; spire very short, eroded generally to a plane with the 



body whorl, suture well impressed ; body whorl large, regu-

Figs. 109—111 exhibit the types, Fig. 112 is elegans, Anth., and Figs. 

 113, 114 are formosa, Lea. The latter is impressly striate. 



24. A. zebra, Anth. Fig. 115. Oval, smooth, rather thick; 

 spire obtuse, not prominent, suture well impressed ; whorls 4, 

 convex, the last regularly oval ; aperture oval, rather long.

thick, smooth ; spire entirely eroded, suture irregularly im- 

 pressed; body whorl somewhat slopingly compressed above ;
