There are more rows of bristles than in B. heterotrichus, and the 

 shell is more globose with shorter spire and fewer whorls ; it is also 

 less solid. In B. scobinatus the spire is much longer and the aper- 

 ture proportionally smaller. The animal is dark with a tint of 

 rose. The measurements last given above are from Moricand. 



B. LONGISETA (Moricand). PI. 13, figs. 22, 23. 



Shell ventricose-conic, perforate, pellucid, thin, dull yellowish. 

 Spire conic, obtuse ; whorls 4, rotund, with well marked sutures, 

 the last whorl inflated, marked with an inconspicuous paler zone ; 

 covered with sparse long bristles, readily detached, and nearly a 

 millimeter in length, a little curved in different directions ; aperture 

 subrotund, the lips thin. Umbilicus narrow but deep. Alt. and 

 diara. 7 mill.

Pfeiffer, who probably had not seen the shell, supposes this may 

 be the young of B. velutinohispidus. It is known to me by Mori- 

 cand's description and figures only. 



B. SCOBINATUS (Wood). PI. 13, figs. 4, 7, 21 ; pi. 15, fig. 25. 



Shell narrowly umbilicate, ovate-conic, rather thin ; olive yellow 

 or light brown-olive, somewhat shining. Surface with close, fine 

 spiral lines of short cuticular hairs or asperities, and spaced series 

 of much larger stiff short bristles. Spire long, conic, the apex ob- 

 tuse, 2 nepionic whorls sculptured with excessively close, minute.
