Shell sinistral or dextral, imperforate, globosely conical, finely 

 striated with lines of growth, pale brown .striped with deeper brown 

 or gray ; often chestnut near the umbilicus ; apex white ; spire 

 somewhat concave ; whorls 6, first 4 more or less flat, the otlaers 

 convex ; suture distinclly margined with deep che.stuut : aperture 

 whitish within ; lip brownish, thickened wnthin ; columellar fold 

 strong, reddish. 



In form this species agrees very fairly with some varieties of 

 lugubris Chem.; but it has shorter spire and blunter apex than the 

 usual form of that species. The coloration is of a different char- 

 acter. — Sm. 



Hab. Wahiawa. 



Dr. Cooke found that, in the type examples, the dark suture 

 and the characteristic bands would seem to place this shell in 

 the forbcdaiia group.
