I have much pleasure in dedicating this very chaste and beautiful 
species to W. J. Broderip, Esq., F.R.S., a gentleman well known in

for this and many other valuable shells which adorn our national 
collection.

‘Iam unable to connect this with any hitherto described species ; 
it exhibits a bright display of colour, and must be a striking shell 
in finer condition.

painting.
