Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...Lake Baringo. Two specimens from the two first of these localities probably belong to this variable shell, which ranges westward to the Gulf of Guinea. It is recorded from the Ukamba region by Von Martens. The single example from Njenips Indogo belongs to the variety dimidiata, Martens, from the Kilima Njaro district. (Conch. Mitth. iii. pl. xliii. figs. 6-7.) 8. Achattna Fulva, Bruguiere. Reeve, Con. Icon. fig. 10. Hab.--Near Mkonumbi, Witu, on sandy steppes (Gregory); E. Africa (Rve.). The two specimens brought from Mkonumbi are not quite adult, and consequently rather thin. The upper whorls are coloured like the shell depicted by Reeve, but the last is of a rich chestnut tint. 9.
