Shell rather more than an inch and a half long, and one inch 

 broad, of an uniform yellowish brown colour, except the 

 pillar which is white, and marked with crowded transverse 

 slightly elevated striae. The term Cassis is so far from being 

 well applied to this species, that from Chemnitz's figure it 

 appears rather doubtful whether it should not be placed in 

 another division, and it has not the general habit of a Hel- 

 met. 



* * * Resembling' the last Division, but the outer Lip 

 on the outside is spinous at the base. 



ERiNACEUs. 31. Shell slightly plaited longitudi- 

 nally, and crowned with papillge ; outer lip 

 muricated at the base.
