yellow color, with no stripes, among typical dimidiata col-

 Long-fusiform, weakly striate, the spiral striae very weak 



on the penult., obsolete on the last whorl; pale brown, with 

 numerous narrow, rather pale streaks, some of them some- 

 what wider and darker; in the middle of each whorl there 

 are contiguous subquadrate black-brown spots. The spire 

 rather attenuate above; there are 7-8, hardly convex whorls, 

 with shallow suture, the last whorl rather narrow, gradually 

 tapering below. Aperture approaching lancet-shape. Colu- 

 mellar margin short, somewhat twisted, rather broadly re- 

 flexed above, reddish-violet. Interior bluish, the streaks and 

 spots showing through (Marts.).

61. L. MARTENSIANA (E. A. Smith). PL 34, figs. 33-40. 



" Shell rimate, rather solid, oblong, turrited, reddish to- 

 wards the apex, elsewhere dark purple-red or almost black, 

 variegated with oblique, more or less zigzag, opaque cream- 

 colored stripes, some of which extend from suture to suture, 

 others only a short distance from the top of the whorls. The 

 latter are iy 2 in number, scarcely convex or almost flat, and 

 very feebly constricted beneath the suture. The upper ones 

 are finely granosely decussated, the last and the penultimate 

 being smooth and merely marked with the oblique incre- 

 mental striae. All exhibit a fine plication or puckering be- 

 neath the suture, beneath which an impressed line is some- 

 times observable upon the last and preceding volutions.
