Almost all authors have disagreed respecting B. mutahile, and 

 Bruguiere with much probability has conjectured that Lin- 

 nasus, supposing B.gibbum to differ from the present shell 

 only in age, used the name to express such a remarkable 

 change in the appearance. The shell is about thirteen lines 

 long, and rather less than half as broad, white or of an agate- 

 colour, and is said by Bruguiere to be uniform without any 

 markings; Chemnitz has, however, figured a shell which 

 agrees in all other respects with this species, but which re- 

 sembles B. gihbum in being freckled, and in having a simi- 

 lar white spotted band at the suture ; about one fourth of 

 the body-whirl is transversely striated at the base, and of the 

 nine whirls which compose the spire, the eight uppermost 

 are finely grooved longitudinally. It would stand better near 

 to Buccinum Glans, than in the place which Linnaeus has 

 assigned it among the shells of this division.
