 within, running slightly towards the spire posteriorly ; columella

We have represented three varieties of this species ; f. 95 shews 

 the variety with the more produced spire, from a specimen in Mr. 

 Norris's collection; f. 96, the variety with a short spire, from Mr. 

 Cuming's collection ; and f. 97, the variety without tubercles, from 

 Miss Said's collection.
