  Remarks. 
  — 
  This 
  curiously 
  and 
  elegantly 
  painted 
  shell 
  I 
  owe 
  to 
  Lieu- 
  

   tenant 
  Dornin, 
  who, 
  when 
  on 
  board 
  the 
  sloop 
  of 
  war 
  Yincennes 
  on 
  

   her 
  voyage 
  round 
  the 
  world, 
  very 
  kindly 
  collected 
  for 
  me 
  many 
  rare 
  

   and 
  fine 
  specimens. 
  It 
  is 
  eminently 
  distinguished 
  hy 
  its 
  compound 
  

   band, 
  its 
  globosity, 
  and 
  its 
  innumerable 
  minute 
  spots. 
  The 
  columella 
  

   is 
  somewhat 
  thickened 
  by 
  a 
  dark 
  pink 
  deposit.
