väriety, with no markings or stains of any kind. It is quite thin and frail, 
and a trifle smaller than the average size of Kelletti. 
Santa Catalina Island, California. Two specimens only found by me. 
Var. castanea (Plate IV. Fig. 4). Among the numerous patterns of coloring 
assumed by M. Kelletti, none are more conspicuous than this well marked va- 
riety. The body whorl is of a deep shiny chestnut-color above the periphery, 
and becomes lighter as it follows the whorls of the spire to the apex. The 
band at the periphery is quite variable in the different specimens; it is gener- 
ally light and well defined above, but below it is irregular, and spreads over 
the base of the shell more or less. 
Santa Catalina Island, California. This variety is not rare. 
In “Zoe,” Vol. I. No. 11, pp- 333, 334, Mr. Hemphill has also thus described 
several other forms. 
Var. nitida (Plate IV. Fig. 2). Uniform, translucent, shining, dark horn- 
color, with a poorly defined dark band, coalescing with a poorly defined whit- 
ish band below it, at the periphery; spire faintly flecked with ashen gray. 
Catalina Island. 
Var. multilineata (Plate IV. Fig. 1). Shell marked by alternate shades of 
ashen white, chestnut, or brown, arranged in an irregular series of revolving 
and sometimes wavy lines, with a broader and poorly defined band at the 
periphery; markings finer beneath than above. 
Var. frater. Shell of a beautiful, uniform, horn-buff color, sometimes fad- 
ing into lighter horn-color, with a darker band at the periphery, and numerous 
faint, alternate revolving lines of ashen or dark horn-color above and below ; 
generally, not always, lighter colored beneath, and sometimes with a whitish 
zone beneath the band at the periphery. 
Var. Californica, The shell is colored with a darker shade of uniform buff 
than the above, dark band at the periphery, generally uniform in color above 
and below; sometimes flecked with squarish dots. 
Var. Forbesi. Ground coloring whitish buff, with a revolving series of poorly 
defined and coalescing lines, bands, and blotches. 
Var, bicolor. Color very dark horn or brownish, flecked with numerous re- 
volving very fine dots or irregular lines, with or without a very faint band at 
the periphery. 
Var. tricolor, Trregularly painted with numerous revolving whitish, brown- 
ish, and chestnut flecks, blotches, and stains, with or without a band at the 
periphery. 
Var. albida. (See below.) 
Var. albida, a. Milk white ground, very faintly stained with light horn, 
and with poorly defined and fading lines. 
Mr. Hemphill considers redimita as a form of Kelletti. (See that species.)
