there is a narrow vertical canal with an obscure tubercle 
forming its border at either side. There is no trace of a 
palatal fold. The protoconch has a rather dull surface but

dull horny brown, minutely speckled with black. The lower 
whoris are dirty white with two broad spiral bands of dark 
chestnut, joined together here and there by irregular vertical 
streaks of the same colour. ‘The wi er band is often hidden,
