pot any plaits on the pillar.

Inhabits — ^ 



Shell two inches long and one and a half broad, of a brownish 

 white colour, and bears a considerable resemblance to Fo- 

 luta gibbosa, but is without any plait on the pillar ; the spire 

 is small, and consists of five whirls. Gmelin, at p. 3487, 

 has another species under the name of B. crassum, which 

 appears at most to be only a Variety of Strombus Vexil- 

 lum. 



jB. Labyrinthus, as well as jB. marginatum, which Gmelin 

 has placed after thjs species, appear to be fossil shells. 



PRBITA. 74. Shell ovate, thick, with transverse, dis- 

 tant, knotty, reflected ribs, and other smaller 

 ones in the interstices ; outer lip plaited.
