 in streaks on the latter half of the last whorl, where there are usually 

 some ill-defined varices ; the upper portion of the spire either flesh-pink 

 or whitish ; the markings consisting of some oblique brown streaks, and 

 a narrow median articulated band on the spire, the band becoming ob- 

 solete on the last one or two whorls, which are variously figured with 

 wedge-shaped, light-bordered, purplish spots, or short lines transverse 

 to the growth strice, or both ; often with some irregular, longitudinal 

 purplish streaks. 



Aperture white inside, the peristome white, without a dark border 

 within; columella with a prominent callous fold above, truncated 

 below, brown, with more or less of the edge white ; parietal wall and 

 reflexed columellar callous black or nearly so.

Distinguished from all the foregoing species of the group by its 

 white peristome. There is no peripheral band on the adult shell ; but 

 the young, and often the spire of old specimens, shows an articulated 

 or dotted band almost concealed at the suture. The markings con-

 usually some wedge-shaped spots and longitudinal purplish streaks,
