lineata, vel pallide fulvo-bifasciata, ; spira brevi, acuminata, anfrac- 

 tibus 6, primis 4 immaculatis, ceteris plus minusve coloratis ; aper- 

 tura elongata, labio externo subincrassato ; columella plicis 4 validis. 



Shell of a lengthened oval form, rather thin, smooth, with dark 

 brown lines, or two pale fulvous bands, spire short, acuminated, 

 volutions 6, the 4 first unvaried in colour, and the other more or 

 less variegated ; aperture elongated, outer Hp somewhat tliickened ; 

 columella with 4 distinct folds. 



From the coast of New Holland. We are compelled to unite the 

 V. Twrneri of Gray with his V. pallida, because we find nothing 

 to distinguish them except the variations of colour, wliich cannot 

 be relied on as specific characters.

 tibus senis, primis 4 fuscis ; apertura elongata, latiuscula ; coluniellae 

 plicis quatuor.

 the last is very large ; aperture lengthened, rather wide ; columella
