Inhabits the coasts of Tranquebar. Martini. 



Shell three-quarters of an inch or an inch long, and more than 

 half as broad, with about seven whirls, of a brown or red- 

 dish colour with white bands, or white with brown or red- 

 dish bands ; aperture toothed on both sides, and there is a 

 solitary tubercle near the upper angle of the inner lip ; the 

 longitudinal plaits are distant, and excepting a broad rib by 

 the edge of the outer lip, ihe half of the body-whirl on that 

 side is nearly smooth, which circumstance is not noticed in 

 the description of B. Miga, though Bruguiere has referred 

 to Martini's figures of this species. A shell allied to B. 

 stolatum is figured in a Vignette in Clarke's Travels, and is 

 mentioned at page 276 of the second volume under the name 

 of B. Galileum.
