(Melvill and Standen), from Lifu, but it is much smoother, 

 the spiral striae being very fine and close.

Hah. Goto, Japan. . . . 



A pale pink shell, with light fulvous bands; it is chiefly

A smooth shell without spiral striae, the longitudinal plicae 

 being somewhat distant, and smoothly rounded. The four 

 light fulvous lines crossing the body-whoil seem to be a 

 constant character.
