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

 broad, of a pale yellowish brown colour, and armed on the 

 body-whirl with two transverse rows of vaulted spines, of 

 which the upper is largest, and is extended throughout the 

 spire. Several other of Gmelin's Murices have an equal 

 claim to be removed to this Genus, and it is only because 

 some authors have considered it to be a variety that I have 

 placed this species next to Buccinum Bezoar. 



GLACIALE. 105. Shell ovate-oblong, smooth, and 

 somewhat striated ; the body-whirl slightly 

 keeled.

 Shell two or three inches long, and about half as broad, pale 

 brown, transversely striated, and the upper part of the whirls 

 longitudinally plaited ; there are about nine volutions, and the 

 carinated ridge is said by MuUer, Fabricius, and Chemnitz, 

 as well as Linnaeus, to be confined to the body-whirl, iu 

 which respect it differs from B. carinatum.
