The specimens belong to the darker variety with fine network, represented by the quoted 

 figures. I think it is not probable that Rumph's fig. 3 of PI. 39 means this species, as v. Martens 

 (Rumphius Gedenkboek p. 15) suggested with some doubt. I suppose Rumph would not have 

 omitted the red colour of the base of the columella. I possess a specimen of O. textiliiia Lam. 

 from Amboina, that resembles much more fig. 3 of Rumph's plate.

Shell cylindrically-oblong, slightly inflated near the upper part of last whorl, very glossy, 

 smooth, yellowish, with narrow, rather distant, rufous fulgurations, leaving a narrow pale zone 

 without markings, below the suture. Spire short, conical, apex blunt, the nuclear whorls rose- 

 coloured in fresh specimens. Whorls 7, rounded, post-embryonic ones callous, with faint traces 

 of the rufous streaks. Sutures widely channelled. Aperture oblong, narrow and channelled above, 

 becoming gradually wider below, the upper angle narrower by a callosity on the body-whorl. 

 Interior light violet. Outer lip rather sharp and curved above, thick and nearly straight near 

 the middle and below. Columellar lip slightly callous in adult specimens, with about 25 folds 

 of which the upper 1 7 are rather short, the lower ones nearly reach the shallow basal sinus. ■

This nice new species is by its peculiar colour-pattern, quite different from any known 

 species. O. rtt-fida, which has about the same shape, has brown markings of a totally different 

 character. The relatively large number of specimens, from different localities, may plead for 

 its validity.
