 per part.

 Marti7ii, iv. p. 37. t. 124. f. 1151 and 1152. 



Inhabits the East Indies. Martini. 



Shell rather more than an inch long, and about two thirds as 

 broad, of a pale brown colour; it appears from the descrip- 

 tion to possess considerable affinity with Murex literatus of 

 Born, and both the species have a strong claim to be placed 

 among the Volutes. Gmelin's B. alatum is probably a 

 Variety, or is otherwise undeserving of notice. 



MAURiTii. 128. Shell ovate, with longitudinal ribs 

 which form on the body-whirl four trans- 

 verse rows of tubercles ; outer lip six- 

 toothed.
