transverse red-brown bands of the body-whorl liave a striking effect. 

 A deep-brown stripe borders the outside of the columella.

On the penultimate whorl the rudimentary longitudinal stripes 

 are but obscurely seen ; on the body-whorl they gxadually increase 

 from lines to irregular stripes of a full white. A blackish stripe 

 borders the columella.

The white stripes jjassing over the sntural bands give them a tes- 

 sellated appearance, but these lightning-like stripes are ruuch more 

 widened where they pass over the transverse band of the body- whorl, 

 which is seen through the shell on looking at the aperture. A red- 

 dish brown stripe borders the columella.

 This mountain-variety, which is longer in proportion, is dashingly 

 marked : ia the intervals between the zig-zag stripes an ashy pellicle 

 covers the ground-colour. A reddish stripe borders the columella. 



Var. k. Productior, subflava cinereo eo-operta, fasciis suturalibus 

 rubro-purpureis ; fascid suturali et submedid latis, obscuris ; stri-

A purplish red stripe borders the columella of this curious variety, 

 and the bands of the body-whorl may be seen faintly through the 

 shell on looking into the aperture. 



This beautiful and greatly varj'ing species ranges from about 2 

 inches in length and 1^ in breadth, to very nearly 2^ by 1^ inches. 



They were all found by Mr. Cuming on the leaves of trees, and 

 he informs me that they lay soft eggs. Variety a was most abun- 

 dant, and the mountain- varieties i and k are the longest and largest.
