The specimens are very variable in shape, size and colour, also in colour of the columella 

 which is as in the quoted fïgures blackish, more or less deep orange or white. In employing 

 the name muricatus for this species, I have foliowed Boog Watson (l.c.) though it is generally 

 known as 5. urceus. But the reasons of that author for changing the name, seem to be too 

 convincing, to neglect them. Hedley (Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, 1904, p. 188) applies 

 the name 5. ustulatus Schumacher for this species; this name is however of more recent date.

Some of the specimens agree very will with Reeve's fig. (l.c), those from Stat. 299 and 315 

 are more allied to the type of the species, but ditïer sufficiently to identify them with the variety.
