BUCCINUM. 587 



Inhabits 



Shell an inch and a half long, and eleven lines broad, and dif- 

 fers from B. Echinophorum in being smaller, and in having 

 five transverse belts, of v\hich only the two upper are stud- 

 ded with tubercles. M. Bruguiere says it is found in a fos- 

 sil state at Courtagnon in Champagne. Gmelin has three 

 species under the name of B. strigosum, and as Bruguiere's 

 appellation of carinata was before occupied, it became ne- 

 cessary to find another. 



RUGOSUM. 11. Shell with crowded transverse ele- 

 vated striae, of which two of the upper are 

 tuberculated and broader than the others; 

 aperture toothed on both sides.
