The figures on this plate complete the illustration of oi 

 monograph of this pretty and interesting group of shelL. 

 At present, we feel undecided whether this is a species, 

 or a variety of A. bulimoides, from which it differs in being 

 reversed, in having the marginal groove very distinct, 

 instead of scarcely perceptible, and in colour. We possess 

 only two specimens which came, with all tlje others, Iron) 

 the Pacific Islands.

bands of chesnut ; margin of the lip, brown.

This species is the most lengthened in form, and the most 

 beautiful in colour of all those we have yet seen : som^ 

 individuals, however, are more ventricose than others and 

 the colours are no less variable. The ground colour is 

 usually of a rich and deep chesnut, with from one to three 

 bands of orange yellow, fulvous, or white ; we have 

 figured a further variety of a rich golden yellow with a 

 chesnut line only at its suture : but in all these the 

 marginal groove is very close and distinct.
