This species is well distinguished by its broadly conic 

 shape. Only four out of fifteen specimens before me have 

 the two bands on the last whorl, but the columella is dark 

 and the sutural margin is opaque- white in all. The figures 

 represent the apex as more acute and less teat-like than it 

 really is. Yon Martens has figured the living animal of a 

 specimen from Victoria, from a drawing by Dr. R. Buch- 

 holz. The neck and tentacles are dark green; sides of the 

 fore part, and the entire hind part of the foot are pale gray, 

 with numerous small white flecks. 



Dusen found it on tree trunks. In an individual 30 mm. 

 long, d'Ailly found 14 eggs, measuring 5x3.75 mm., pol- 

 ished and of a glossy whiteness.
