mented with several irregular distant chestnut-coloured flames de- 
scending from the sutures, and with zigzag lines and markings which

base ; whorls 6 ; sutures excavated ; aperture longer than the spire ; 
outer lip simple, nearly straight, truncate at the base; columella

the Conchological Department in the British Museum.
