Shell about two inches long, and rather more than half as 

 broad, white with fawn or chestnut-coloured spots like those 

 of B. spiratum, from the Variety of which species it differs 

 in having the whirls more compleatly drawn out, and the 

 umbilicus larger, with a tinge of violet, and toothed on the 

 margin. It is much more allied to B. spiratum, than to 

 B. glabratum, of which it has been considered a Variety. 



GLABRATUM. 78. Shell umbilicated, highly po- 

 lished, and the sutures obsolete ; body-whirl 

 channelled and produced at the base.

orange colour mixed with white, and very glossy all over ;

respects, as well as some others, this species bears a consi- 

 derable affinity to the Olives.

 smooth, with transverse rows of red spots, 

 and the outer lip sinuated.
