Persian Gulf. Martini. China. Humphreys. 

 Shell about two or two and a half inches long, and sometimes 

 rather more than two thirds as broad, brown with transverse 

 elevated bands and lines, which are generally spotted with 

 white. B. Rudolphi of Chemnitz has the spire more pro- 

 duced, the aperture not so wide, and the transverse bands 

 are nodulous, but the intermediate gradations are so nume- 

 rous that it appears almost impossible to draw any separat- 

 ing line; Gmelin has placed it as a variety of jB. Persi- 

 cum, and afterwards as a separate species under the name of 

 B. fornicatum. 



PATULUM. 52. Shell muricated; outer lip crenat- 

 ed without, and the pillar oblique and fal- 

 cated.
