Some of the specimens of this variety are so very distinct from the 

 type shell of this variable species, that I should have been inclined to 

 have described them as a distinct species, if there had not been some 

 specimens brought with them that completely united them with the type, 

 differing from it only in the band being of a reddish purple instead of a 

 blackish colour. In the most distinct state the shell is oblong ovate, and 

 distinctly margined all rovind ; reddish white, without any appearance of 

 bands, and minutely speckled with unequal sized brown dots ; there are 

 two rather larger similar dots at each extremity, in the place of the two 

 black spots of C. Hirundo.
