We consider the curved line of colour, which externally 

 adorns the upper corner of the outer lip, as the distin- 

 guishing characteristic of this shell, by which examples of 

 it, even when immature, may be known from the dif- 

 ferent varieties of coslulata, rujilabris, and inconsjncua, cer- 

 tain individuals of which approach them in most other 

 particulars. In considering the interrupta of authors * to 



* Montagu's own example is a finely coloured semistriata, but his delineation 

 clearly proves that it was not that species which he intended to indicate.
