 are rather wide-pointed ovals, with the ground-colour white and 

 somewhat glossy ; the entire surface of the shell is sparingly blotched 

 and spotted with light red and lavender-grey, the markings being

 irregular zone. They measure from '55 to -58 in length, and from 

 42 to -44 in breadth.
