Orange-brown; undulately obsoletely thick-ribbed longitu- 

 dinally, spirally ridged and grooved. Length, 1'25-1'75 inches.

Longitudinally somewhat obsoletely plicate, regularly spirally 

 grooved and ridged ; yellowish fawn-color. Length, 28 mill.

 the longitudinal costse small, distant and somewhat irregular.

Slightly shouldered, clathrate and granose ; orange-fawn to 

 chestnut-color. Length, 34 mill.
