Shell two inches and a quarter long, and nearly one inch and a 

 half broad, rather thin, somewhat pellucid, of a dirty white 

 colour with transverse rows of square yellow or ferruginous 

 spots. It differs from B. gramdatum, with which Martini 

 has confounded it, in not having any longitudinal striae except 

 those which mark the growth of the shell, in the want of 

 granules on the pillar, and in being destitute of any longitu- 

 dinal belt-like appendages on the spire. When at maturity, 

 it has a longitudinal belt extending along the pillar-lip from 

 the suture to the base of the body-whirl, but this is wanting 

 in young shells. 



GRANULATUM. 23. Shell transversely grooved, and
