(a) L. PUTEOLUS. Turton ZooL Jour. 3, p. 191. 

 Roundish oblong, oblique, purplish with three deeper 

 bands ; aperture roundish or oval. Devonshire. Thicker 

 than Montacuti or Fasciata, and when full grown has 

 the larger volution considerably produced obliquely. 



(b) The young are destitute of markings, of a sea 

 green, with an obtuse carina near the base of the body 

 whorl. In this state it agrees well with Montagu's 

 figure of Canalis. 



(c) With two broad brown and two narrow white 

 bands. 



(d) L. GRACILIOR. Metcalfe MSS. Resembling 

 Canalis of Turton in being of an uniform horn colour, 

 but the shape is more attenuated, the whorls being pro- 

 duced so that instead of the aperture being as long as 

 the spire it only occupies two fifths of the shell. The 

 outer lip too, is acute, (in the adult of Canalis it is 

 thickened,) and the columellar groove very narrow in- 

 stead of being wider than in the typical variety.
