 Shell about three or four inches long, and three fourths as broad, 

 with twelve or thirteen distant semicylindrical ribs on the bo- 

 dy-whirl, and there are sometimes one or two faint elevated 

 lines in the interstices ; the shell is inflated and thni, and the 

 pillar twisted. 



CHINENSK. 7. Shell globose, inflated, ribbed and 

 striated transversely; aperture spreading; 

 outer lip toothed.

 188. f. J 804 and 1805. 



Inhabits the coasts of Java and China. Chemnitz. 



It appears, from the description of Chemnitz, that this species 

 is nearly allied to B. Doliiim, of which it seems doubtful 

 whether it is more than a variety, as elevated striae in the in- 

 terstices of the ribs frequently occur in that species, and the 

 outer lip, though it is said to be toothed, appears in the 

 figure to be only crenated. The length is seven inches, the 

 breadth five, and the height four inches ; the shell is white, 

 with the transverse ribs brown, and marked with longitudi- 

 nal somewhat undulated bands of brown, and there is a row 

 of brown spots at the inner margin of the outer lip. 



CAUDATUM. 8. Shell ovate, with transverse rounded 

 ribs, and the beak rather prominent.
