 Variety. Slightly tubercular at the sutures. 



Martini, iv. 1. 125. f. 1 199 and 1200. 

 Inhabits the Asiatic Ocean. Linnaus. Amboyna. Rumphius. 

 Shell an inch and three-quarters long, and near an inch broad, 

 white with a few large irregular brown spots, and mark d 

 throughout xn\\\ parallel dark transverse lines, which on the 

 body-whirl are near two lines apart; the inside is also 

 marked with delicate pale striae. Linnzeus described the 

 pillar-lip with two teeth, but I have never been able to find 

 more than one, and this is placed near the upper angle of 

 the aperture. 



GiBBUM. 38. Shell sub-ventricose, smooth, slightly 

 striated, and the outer lip muricated at the 

 base.

 Inhabits the coasts of Naples. Eonanni. Among the leaves 

 and branches of maritime shrubs at Amboyna. Rumphius. 

 Coasts of Spain and Italy. Bruguiere. 

 Shell near an inch and a quarter long, and three-quarters of an 

 inch broad, of a reddish or yellowish brown colour, variously 

 speckled or striped with yellow or white, and always marked 

 with a whitish band spotted with brown at the sutures ; the 

 upper part of the pillar-lip becomes abruptly rounded by 

 the inflated contour of the whirl, and old shells have two or 

 three sharp spines at the base of the outer lip. As there 

 can be no doubt that Martini's figures 387 and 388, belong 

 to B. gibbum of Bruguiere, I have retained this name, be- 

 cause it is more applicable than that of tessulatum, and B. 

 gibbum of Gmelin is either a Variety of B. undulatum, or 

 otherwise appears to be undeserving of notice.
