Shell about seventeen lines long and ten broad, white, with two 

 pale tawny bands, and composed of eight whirls ,* it is nar- 

 rower in proportion to its length than B. cJathratum, nor 

 are the transverse striae undulated, and the beak at the base 

 is much shorter than in B. iiiveum ; it however appears to 

 be very nearly allied to both these species, and Chemnitz 

 says of this, what Bruguiere relates of the former, that it is 

 found in a fossil state at Courtagnon in France.
