 The brown under covering appears to be overlaid with a dull pale 

 ashy epidermis, which sometimes presents the appearance of oblique 

 obscure stripes in the direction of the lines of growth. On the 

 lower part of the penultimate whorl the brown and shining under 

 covering is exposed, so as to produce a basal fillet. The sutural line 

 of the last or body-whorl is obscure white.

In this variety the shining subflavescent under covering appears 

 to be overlaid with a dull chalky- white epidermis, through intervals 

 of which the lightning-like stripes of the ground-colour appear. A 

 somewhat obscure deep brown stripe borders the outside of the colu- 

 mella.
