 of the whorls, and are more numerous than in B. costulata. 

 I have seen specimens from Montego Bay (Henderson), Fal-

Shell slowly tapering, broadly truncate, corneous, rather 

 thin, nearly lusterless. Whorls flattened in the middle, sub- 

 angular below the very deeply impressed sutures, the last 

 whorl angular below also, the sides sloping inward; its latter 

 half concave between the basal and supraperipheral angles, 

 free in front. Sculpture of numerous \vhitish ribs, low or 

 partially obsolete in the middle of each whorl, prominent be- 

 low, and somewhat less so above, the suture. Aperture trans-
