586 BUCCINUM. 



Inhabits 



Shell about an inch and three quarters long, and an Inch broad, 

 of a brownish or reddish colour, umbilicated, with a wide 

 aperture, and the outer lip plaited and toothed within ; spire 

 produced, and composed of six rather inflated whirls. Hav- 

 ing been unable to ascertain this species, I have left it in the 

 place which Gmelin has assigned to it, but it ought proba- 

 bly to be removed to the Murices, as some references which 

 belong to M. clandestinus have been confounded with it. 

 Schreibers has removed it to the third division of Bucciuum, 

 and in his Conchylien it stands next to B. Glans. 



** With a short exserted reflected Beak, and the 

 outer Lip unarmed outwardly.

 belts, and the beak prominent.
