A most beautiful species, smooth, shining, ornamented 

 with a beautiful regular series of white spots upon a bright fawn- 

 coloured ground. At the periphery, which is not angled, the 

 shell is whitish, with another line of zigzagged pale-brown 

 markings more flame-shaped at the base ; around the deep 

 umbilicus, the margin of which is very slightly angled, a row of 

 dark-brown flames alternates with the white. Interior of mouth 

 smooth, beautifully margaritaceous. 



Two specimens, both in my collection, almost exactly 

 resembling each other. From Mr. Lombe Taylor's collection, 

 the whole of whose MinolicB and Solariellce I acquired in 1880.
