MELANIIDA, 287 
“horn ”’-colour, girt on the last whorl with three distinct, broad, 
dark-brown bands, showing clearly within the aperture ; spirally 
regularly striated, "below the slight subangulation of each whorl, 
the strie prominent, with a minutely “quasi punctate” ap- 
pearance, the above becoming somewhat obsolete; covered more 
or less with rather long and well-developed hairs ; whorls nine, 
the apical three exceedingly minute, white and sculptureless, 
the next five slightly subangulate a little above the middle, 
cylindrically turreted, last whorl rather tumidly convex, about 
the same length as the spire; aperture rather small, vertically 
ovate, peristome acute, eclumell: thickened, dark violet coloured, 
inflected obliquely, at base sharply angulate. Operculum as 
above described ; it seems to me slightly convex.
