 tinged with brown or pink, the cuticle is brown, with numerous longitudinal 

 ridges of short hairs ; whorls rounded ; the body whorl of the female large 

 in proportion; the spiral ridges are crossed by the lines of growth. — This 

 species is used as a bait, and caught in baskets in which carrion is placed.

Length about 2 inches, breadth less than 1 ; white, with a reddish tinge, 

 the keel on the body whorl vanishes on the superior ones ; this shell is more 

 produced, and the longitudinal furrows better marked, than in the preceding 

 species — It appears to have been found in Orkney by Mr Agnew, gardener 

 to the Duchess of Portland. I possess a slightly mutilated specimen, which 

 I found in Zetland.

inflated with an elevated circular rib at the top of each, from 



which they suddenly slope to the separating line.
