 Inhabits St. George's Bay. Martyn. 

 Having been unable to find any copy of Martyn's work whicli 



contains this species, I cannot make any addition to this 



short description of Gmehn's.

 Shell from thiee to nine inches long, and about one fourth as 

 broad, rather ponderous, with about fourteen whirls, of 

 which the upper are divided more distinctly, by a transverse 

 spiral line in the middle, than the lower ones ; the colour 

 varies from dirty white to a pale bluish brown somewhat 

 mottled with white, and there are generally two rows of dark 

 spots on each whirl, of which the upper row is generally 

 much larger than the lower. The shell which Martini has 

 figured for the Linnaean B. subulatum appears to be only a 

 variety of this species, and differs principally in having the 

 rows of spots nearly equally large. 



OCULATUM. 133. Shell turreted, sub-fusiform, with 

 the upper half of the whirls convex and ocel- 

 lated.
