cimens are comparatively rare. An unusually large specimen long. 

 28, diam. 14, apert. 11 mill. found at Panzos (Conradt), has been 

 sent to me by Prof. Hausknect of Weimar ; its bands are very dark, 

 nearly black, the shell thus approaching 0. nigro-fasciatus Pfr., from 

 Colombia [vol. xi, p. 307, pi. 50, figs. 98, 99], but differs from it in 

 the distinct spiral striation and the comparatively narrower bands." 

 Var. JUQUILENSIS Martens (fig. 40). Bands narrower. Length 19^, 



diam. 9-10 mill. 



S. Mexico: Juquila, in the State of Oaxaca (Boucard) ; Oaxaca 

 (Uhde). N. Guatemala: Vera Paz (Sal vin).

More lengthened than vexillum (Brod.), the last whorl more obese, 

 somewhat shorter, and, therefore, more conic-oblong. Besides the

Has not been recognized by later authors. The locality is evi- 

 dently Taboga island, in the Bay of Panama.

 brown. Spire conic, acute, whorls 6, a trifle convex, the last a little 

 shorter than the spire ; columella straightened, vertical, the aperture
