A GENUS TORNATELLA. 
composed of six whirls, the upper ones very approximate, the 
lowest much larger than all the others. Aperture oblong, 
widened, dilated at its base ; right lip very thin, almost sharp ; 
one fold upon the columella, which is oblique. 
Length 15 lines. Width 9 lines.

In some specimens the undulating lines are much more distant 
from each other, more narrow, and continued the whole length 
of the shell.

Shell thick, ovate, oblong, cylindrical; with slightly im- 
pressed, transverse strie, traversed by oblong, brown spots, 
and often intermixed with other reddish spots, especially upon 
the whirls. A narrow, white band, surrounds towards the 
middle, the lowest whirl. Spire conical, pointed ; aperture 
oblong, narrowed, a little compressed towards its upper third, 
and dilated at its lower part. ‘Two folds upon the columella, 
separated by quite a deep, semicircular groove, the larger, 
two-lobed. 
Length 15 lines. Width 6 lines. 
Inhabits the Indian Ocean. 
This species, common in collections, differs much from the 
preceding, in its cylindrical form, and the two folds upon the 
columella, one of which is two-lobed; there exists a variety, the 
shell of which is invariably smaller: it is white or red, with yel- 
lowish spots upon all the whirls; the first fold of the columella 
is also more visible than in the common variety.
