 of the preceding : it has five volutions, the larger ones 

 rounded, but are a little angulated, or flattened at the 

 top ; the three fuperior fpires are very little elevated 

 above the reft : apex obtufe and depreffed : colour yel- 

 lowifh-white, with feveral fmall bands of chefnut, or 

 purplifh-brown, running fpirally up the fliell, which are 

 frequently broken, and form fliort longitudinal ftreaks, 

 efpecially on the flat, or angulated part, on the top of each 

 fpire ; the bafe is flightly umbilicated, and has generally 

 one broad circular band, at fome diflance from the U7U- 

 hilicus, and a broad white belt between that and the 

 finer girdles, which are fometimes as many as feven or 

 eight, perfeclly diftinft, but frequently run into eacli

 a few faint girdles on the body. Aperture lunated, mar-
