Inhabits 



This shell has been very imperfectly described, but appears 

 from Martini's figure to be about an inch long, and two 

 thirds as broad, and of a brownish white colour. Gmelin 

 says the whirls are distant, and the figure represents the up- 

 per part to be flattened, and somewhat concave in the body- 

 whirl. 



GLATHRATUM. 117. Shell ovate, ventricose, longi- 

 tu<linally ribbed, decussated with transverse 

 undulated striae, and channelled at the su- 

 tures.

 Inhabits the East Indies. Petiver. 



Shell about fifteen lines long, and eleven broad, with seven 

 whirls, of a bluish or greenish white colour, and the body- 

 whirl much more ventricose than the others ; the outer lip 

 is crenated and the inside grooved. 



NivEUM. 118. Shell sub-oval, with elevated can- 

 cellated strise, and the body-whirl ventricose, 

 and produced at the base.

Martini, iv. p. 21. 1. 122. f. 1 122 and 1 123. 

 Inhabits the coasts of Tranquebar. Martini. 

 This shell appears, from Martini's figure and description, to be 



very nearly allied to B. clathratum, but the transverse striae 



are not undulated, and the base is produced into a longer 



beak. Gmelin at p. 3471 and 3504, has two other species 



under the name of B. niveum. 



LIMA. 119. Shell oval, ventricose, acuminated, 

 and cancellated with longitudinal ribs and 

 transverse elevated striae ; aperture roundish 

 and effuse.
