This shell is nearly allied to B. undosum, but differs in having 

 the longitudinal angles or plaits smaller and more numerous, 

 the aperture more effuse, and the interstices of the ribs stri- 

 ated. Of Martini's Vignette above referred to I cannot find 

 that he has given any description, and it is probably at most 

 only a variety of this species. 



INDICUM. 99. Shell ovate, reticulated with trans- 

 verse ribs and elevated longitudinal striae; 

 aperture effuse.
