Only two specimens of this fine species were found. It is closely 

 related to B. fnelei Dall, but differs in the finer sculpture, that species 

 having spiral threads in pairs, while in this there are invariably several 

 threads grouped on the convex intervals between deeper spiral grooves . 



Beringius schantaricus (Midd.) is a smaller species, 72-77 mm. long, 

 with stronger external sculpture and spiral sulci within the mouth. 



B. turtoni (Bean) is a species with internally smooth outer lip, but 

 it differs notably in the shape of the spire. 



The genus Beringius has also been known as Jumala and Ukko. both 

 later generic terms.

Buccinum inclitum. Pils., Nautilus, X^^III, p. 87. 



A species of the B. glaciale group, of tiu-rite-conic shape, rather 

 solid and heavy, composed of about 8^ convex and somewhat angular 

 whorls. The shell is white, with a few small brown spots, under a 

 very thin, pale buff cuticle. The apex has been lost, and the first two 

 whorls are somewhat worn. The next two whorls have a strong, 

 cord-like keel below the middle, a smaller spiral rib below it, while 

 above it the surface is flattened and sloping, the whole covered with 

 fine spiral threads. Another spiral rib then gradually arises above the 

 peripheral one, so that all the rest of the whorls of the spire have three 

 strong rounded, cord -like spirals, all rendered irregularly nodose by 

 rather close longitudinal waves which radiate from the suture. The 

 last whorl is very convex, with a group of four strongly raised rounded 

 spiral ribs, two below and one above the slightly larger peripheral 

 spiral. The rest of the surface and the intervals between the ribs 

 are sculptured with much smaller spiral cords; and there is also a 

 very minute sculpture of fine spiral threads over the ribs and cords. 

 The rather small aperture is white in the throat, becoming ochre-tinted 

 near the lip and on the columella. The outer lip is slightly expanded 

 and sulcate within, and it is slightly retracted above. The columella 

 is weakly biplicate. 



Length 82, diam. 47 mm. ; length of the aperture 40 mm.

 Mr, Hirase's collection. 



This noble Buccinum has some resemblance to B. carinatum Dkr. 

 and B. verkriizeni Kob., but differs from both in its more numerous, 

 closer and more emphatic spiral ribs. In the original notice in the 

 Nautilus the name was printed "inclitum" by oversight.
