Hah. Mauritius (F. de Bolillard). 



A very pretty little species, with a prolonged recurved canal. 

 The longitudinal ribs are neatly tubercled at the suture, the 

 interstices transversely grooved, and the turreted spire produced 

 and attenuated towards the apex. The brown blotches are for 

 the most part arranged in two zones above and below the middle 

 of the body-whorl.
