colored; the teeth of the columella are white; and there is never a yellowish 
streak at the base, as in the variety tincta of the last species. The whorls 
are spirally lirate, sometimes smooth except on the base, sometimes strongly 
lirate above. The suture is margined below by an impressed line, and by 
elevated, foliaceous incremental lamellae. This last feature may almost 
always be detected, although sometimes but very slightly developed. Alt.,
