634 BUCCINUM. 



Buccinum undatum, Var. C. Schreibers Conch, i. p. 164. 



Inhabits 



This shell is said to be allied to B. undatum, but is described 

 with six unequal ribs, and the first and second whirl live times 

 as broad as the others ; spire obtuse, and the colour whitish 

 mixed with yellow ; it is a doubtful species, and has been 

 quoted by Schreibers for a variety of B. undatum. 



PAPYRACEUM. 111. Shell ovate-obioiig, slender, 

 obsoletely striated transversely, and the whirls 

 depressed at their summits. 



Varietif A. Dirty white, with transverse brown stripes in pairs 

 at the base. 

 Buccinum papyraceum, Bruguiere Enc. Meth. p. 260.

 out.

inhabits 



This shell is described by Bruguiere to be twenty-two lines 

 long, and ten and a half broad, and diat figured by Martini, 

 which seems to differ only in colour, is rather larger ; the 

 surface is rather glossy and marked with slightly elevated 

 striae, particularly on the upper, and on the base of the lower 

 whirls. The name of B. Anglicum, which has been given 

 to the shell figured by Martini, is improper, as it is not a 

 native of these shores. 



OTAHEITENSE. 112. ' Shell oblong, transversely 

 grooved, with the grooves wrinkled and dot- 

 ted, and the sutures finely crenulated.
