The varices of this somewhat rare species are probably rather variable in number; in the Specimen before me there are only six on a whorl, Lamarck mentions seven, and Kiener, who transcribes Lamarck's Latin diagnose of the species, enumerates eight in his summary of the specific characters. The aperture of this shell is lined with pure white, and the columella with pink enamel.
