Closely allied, writes d'Orbigny, to B. ytmgasensis, but easy to 

 distinguish by the longer, less swollen spire, straight instead of ob- 

 lique, and narrower aperture, more twisted columella, and finally 

 by the lineolation, roseate tint, and want of brown spots. 



D. FERIATUS (Reeve). PI. 34, fig. 10. 



Shell slightly perforate, oblong-fusiform, solid, rugulose-striate ; 

 whitish, irregularly marked with brown streaks, which are generally 

 dotted with white. Spire conic, rather acute; whorls 5*, a little 

 convex, the last a little longer than the spire, attenuated at base, 

 subcompressed ; columella subvertical, somewhat straightened. 

 Aperture nearly vertical, acuminate-oblong; peristome narrowly 

 expanded, the right margin spreading, columellar margin dilated 

 above, subappressed. Alt. 28, diam. 11 mill.; aperture 14 milL 

 long. (P/r.).

D. YUNGASENSIS (d'Orbigny). PI. 36, fig. 34, 35. 



Shell elongated, a little swollen, very distinctly umbilicated, thin, 

 fragile; the surface irregularly malleated and rugose; grayish-rose 

 with clouds of brown and wide brown longitudinal markings, form- 

 ing three interrupted brown bands. Spire long, swollen, very ob- 

 tuse at the apex, composed of 6 convex whorls separated by a deep 

 suture, the last whorl very large and oblique. Aperture oblong, a 

 little oblique, brownish-purple within ; peristome yellowish, thin, 

 expanded, but not wide nor strongly reflexed ; columella wide, flat- 

 tened, arcuate, but not twisted. Alt. 35, diam. 13 mill. (Orb.}.
