 co7inato ; ruga incrementi irregulares, confertce. 

 Diam. ap. 15 m.

This shell differs from the preceding chiefly in having a whorl 

 more, which is bent back and attached by the aperture to the pe- 

 nultimate whorl, giving it the appearance of the figure 8 or letter S. 



Var. |3. CINNAMOMINA. 



T. irregulariter planorbiformis ; anfr. hie illic soluti, latere afflxo 

 plani, longitudinaliter subtiiissime lirulati, et regvlariter lirati, 

 lira peripherica lutiuscula ; rugce incrementi irregulares, unde ob- 

 solete nodulosce in inter sectionibus ; anfr. ultimus aperturam ver- 

 sus pallide cinamominus, strigis transversis obscuris : spira ut 

 prcecedentis. 

 Diam. ap. 14 m. 

 Hab. West Columbia {Cuming). 



On the affixed side are agglutinated rudiments of shells and parts 

 of an ochraceous stone, &c. This variety is very like the var. o of 

 V. dimorphus, M. ; it differs cliiefly from the latter in its greater ca- 

 libre and thinner shell. It is not impossible that the var. lituina 

 belongs to this species, and that the locality Philippines is a mistake, 

 particularly as the two small lirpe on the spire are not quite equal, as 

 in the three typical specimens of V. dimorphus.
