PROM THE SOLOMOK ISLANDS. 549 



This is a very pretty species and easily recognizable by its style 

 of coloration. The white band, which is bisected exactly in the 

 middle by the red thread-like line, occupies about the lower half of 

 the whorls. The ribs are sharpish at their edge, and of a lighter 

 colour there than the interspaces, and contiguous to one another 

 at the base ; those of the last whorl are somewhat attenuated in- 

 feriorly, and nodulous where they are traversed by the six or seven 

 broad deep sulci, the nodules being of a pale horny colour. The 

 very fine lirations within the aperture are about twelve in number.

The shell from the above islands difters somewhat in coloi-ation 

 from the typical form. It is broadly black-banded beneath the 

 orange tips of the ribs in the upper whorls ; and the last is entirely 

 blackish brown interi upted by three yellowish zones, the uppermost 

 one adjoining the suture, the median one near that region of the
