BUCCINUM. 591 



are pale flesh-colour, and there are generally six black spots 

 on the outer lip, as well as on the appendage which extends 

 from the suture behind the projection of the inner lip to the 

 reflected beak. It is nearly allied to B. connitum, but dif- 

 fers in being smaller, and in having the pi!lar-lip triangular, 

 Linnaeus has described his jB. tuberosum with only two rows 

 of tubercles, and the present shell, I believe, has always 

 three, but it answers to Gualter's t. 41. which is the only 

 figure he has referred to.

Shell when at maturity about four and a half inches long, and 

 near two thirds as broad, brown with transverse rows of 

 white arcuated spots, which become fainter with age ; the 

 longitudinal plaits are thickened at the end of eveiy whirl, 

 and in adults there are from two to live transverse rows of 

 tubercles on the body- whirl, but these are wanting in young 

 shells, from one of which the description in the Systema 

 Naturae was obviously taken.
