Inhabits the coasts of New Zealand and Madagascar. Bru~ 

 guiere. 



Shell sometimes seven lines long, and four broad, but is usual- 

 ly smaller, and Bruguiere says it varies in colour from brown 

 to black, with the inside paler, or sometimes white. Gme- 

 lin, who at p. 3476 and 3494 has two other species under 

 the name of B. strigosum, in the present instance has refer- 

 red to some figures of Martini's as varieties, which are obvi- 

 ously different, and his description is so extremely loose as 

 to be undeserving of notice.

 Shell a quarter of an inch long, and half as broad, smooth, 

 sometimes white with only a few scattered transverse nar- 

 row brown or yellow bands, and not unfrequently regularly 

 banded with equally broad alternate white and dark brown 

 lines ; aperture oval, and the outer lip considerably expand- 

 ed. B. lineatum of Gmelin is a very indistinct species taken 

 from Knorr, iii. t. 14. f. 4, and the same figure is quoted by 

 Favanne (Vol. ii. p. 136), for a Trochus, which may proba- 

 bly be a variety of T. zic-zac.

 which he has confounded together in one description, and
