I have one last group of striped shells to ask about.  Can you tell me what these are, please?

This is Liguus virgineus (Linne, 1758), a land snail (tree snail actually) from Hispaniola. It is an abundant species, frequently sold as an "arts and crafts" shell. In the craft shell trade it is known as "candy snail".
