interrupted and waved streaks and spots of reddish-purple. 

 Spire conoidal above, the apex obtusely papillar, generally 

 roseate. Whorls 7%, a little convex, the last very obsoletely 

 angular, two-thirds the total length, white at the columellar 

 region. Suture narrowly margined, crenulate; columella 

 vertical, obliquely truncate at the base, white, margined out- 

 wardly and within with blackish-purple. Aperture oval, 

 white within; peristome acute. Length 65, diam. 29, apert. 

 28 mm. (Shuttl.) .

Related to the preceding, and perhaps a variety thereof, 

 but the whorls, especially the last one, are more convex, the 

 shell is thinner, and the interior of the aperture is not 

 colored. 



Figs. 40-42 of pi. 13 are copied from Shuttleworth. Figs. 

 75, 76 of pi. 16 represent specimens in the collection of the 

 Academy. These shells are rather solid, rose-colored with 

 the apex whitish, the last whorl either roseate or whitish 

 under a very thin corneous cuticle; the baso-columellar area 

 always white and distinctly limited. The spire has rather 

 wide red-purple flames, and the last whorl varies from closely, 

 regularly striped (fig. 76) to sparsely striped and dotted, 

 and only near the middle of the whorl (fig. 75). The colu- 

 mella is white, bordered outside with purplish-brown. The 

 sharp lip is brownish, interior white with a bluish tint, one 

 specimen being brownish in the throat. Size quite uniform, 

 46 x 26 to 49 x 24 mm.
