channelled, whorls beaded throughout with small .

Very similar in form to the preceding species, and 
partaking, in some measure, of the colour; the spire 
differs in having the sutures deeply channelled and the 
entire surface in being beaded with small papillose 
nodules. In the former species the margins of the aper- 
ture are entire, and it is the striz that are coloured upon 
a white ground.
