INVOLUTE. | 
“This very elegant species in shape very much resembles a 
small Bulla lignaria ; but is of a more conic oval shape, with 
the volutions more loosely connected; the crown is umbilicated, 
and, together with the pillar, pure white. On the body are 
regular, rather broad, alternate, transverse bands of white and 
pale rufous brown; and round each of the white belts is a regu- 
lar line of very minute, raised granular dots. 
“Found near the Land’s End.” In the cabinet of Mr. 
Clark.

contracted at the top, and widening below, where it terminates 
in arounded base; outer lip thin, slightly inflected; inner lip 
white, a little reflected on the columella; whole surface with 
fine transverse striae, and remote longitudinal lines of growth. 
Length an inch; breadth three-quarters. 
Found at Weymouth and Poole, Dorsetshire; Salcomb Bay,

the pillar invisible.
