of a pale purplifli red, finely flriated fpirally; with two 

 white fa/cicE, or bands, on the body whirl : aperture long 

 and narrow; outer lip thin; Columella with one fold. 

 Length three-quarters of an inch. 



This elegant fpecies appears to be local, and rather 

 fcarce upon the EngliJJi coaft. Da Costa, favs he re- 

 ceived it from Tcig^nnioid h and Exmoufli in Dcvonjhire. 

 It muft, however, be extremely rare at thofe places, as a 

 long continuance there never furnifhed us with a fingle 

 fpecimen : hut further to the wefl on the fame coaft, at 

 Torcrofs, we have fometimes taken it by dredging. 



Doftor PuLTENEY fpeaks of it as rare in Dorfetfliire, 

 but that it has been found at Weymouth. 



Mr. Pennant notes it from Anglcfea. 



We found it not unplentiful on the flat, fandy fhore, 

 near Laugharne in Caermarthen/Jiire, among the drifted 

 fand about high-water mark : at this p'ace a diligent 

 fearcher might pick up a dozen in a morning. Is alfo 

 found fparingly on other parts of the fouth coaft o^ Wales,
