 SEMPER, Phil. Archip., Landmoll., p. 198. 



One of the most attractive Helices. Semper says that the brown 

 line at the periphery is wanting in one specimen among 19 examined. 

 I have seen many more than this, but in none of them was it lack- 

 ing. The dark oblique streaks are rarely so prominent as in fig. 

 82.

 this band often bordered below by a supra-peripheral line or zone of
