 last inflated, slightly descending in front, lightly spirally striated 

 beneath ; aperture oblique, rounded-lunar, white and black-banded

The locality may not be correct. It has the appearance of a 

 Solomon Island shell.

Shell perforate, somewhat depressedly conical, moderately solid, 

 very finely malleated by two sets of oblique striae crossing each other 

 at right angles above the periphery, whilst below it, the malleations 

 become more irregular and flowing; pale yellowish-brown ornamented 

 with a narrow white band below the sutures and one or two dark 

 brown bands on each whorl, the upper one being the narrowest; 

 spire conical, apex rather obtuse; whorls 5J, rather convex, the last 

 not descending, angled at the periphery, a little convex at base, 

 which has a single broader band of dark brown just below the 

 periphery ; aperture diagonal, truncately ovate, peristome white, the 

 upper margin narrow, expanded, the lower margin arcuate and re- 

 flexed, almost covering the umbilicus.
