The convexity of the whorls in the j^resent species is due to a slow^er increase in 

 width compared Avith V. undata; the whorls therefore from the very beginning are more 

 inflated than in this species, and in specimens of the same breadth V. insculpta has a 

 considerably greater height. The position of the apex, for the same reason, is subcentral, 

 while in V. undata it has a more lateral position.
