Voluta or Circumvolution is mark’d lengthways by many {mall Strie 
and Ribs with Furrows between, which are cut at right Angles by 
others fewer and larger. The Shell is whitifh with red brown Spots

This is about three Inches long, half as broad towards the End 
of the Clavicle where broadeft, and about as high when lying up- 
on its Mouth on the Ground. It hath a wide Mouth and feveral 
Rifings towards the fides of the Circumvolutions, but none oppofite to 
them. The Shell is very ponderous and thick. It is whitifh and hath 
many brown ftreight Lines as if drawn for Mufick, which are crofs’d 
here and there by others oblique or undulated. The Windings or 
Spire (whichare about fix in Number) of the Shell have many deep 
Furrows and Ridges on them, ac the End of each of which Ridges 
are obtufe, blunt and extant Points. 
I found it in Famaica
