Inhabits the coasts of Bombay. Petiver. Senegal. Adanson. 

 Coromandel. Martini. 



Shell about an inch and a half long, and more than one-third 

 as broad, whitish or brown, with a paler or bluish band at 

 the upper margin of the whirls. I have followed Kaemme- 

 rer, Schroeter, and Martini, in arranging this as a separate 

 species, and it differs from B. vittatum in not having either 

 any transverse striai or crenatures at the upper margin of the 

 whirls. Martini, f. 149 1> probably differs only in being 

 coated with a green epidermis. 



STRIGILATUM. 143. Shell tnrreted, with the whirls 

 transversely divided, and obliquely striated.

 Martini, iv. t. 154. f. 1452. 



Inhabits the Asiatic Ocean. Linnaus. 



Shell about two inches and three-quarters long, and scarcely 

 more than one-eighth as broad, whitish with yellow spots, 

 which at times form square somewhat tesselated patches, and 

 marked with a narrow elevated band both above and below 

 the suture. The Linnaean description is so short, and the 

 references so discordant, that this must always continue to be 

 rather a doubtful species, and Born, under the name of B. 

 strigilatum, lias figured a very different shell. Martini's fig. 

 1452, from which Gmehn has constituted his B. commacu- 

 latum, is very indistinct, particularly about the aperture, and 

 is most probably only a variety of this species. 



CONCINNUM. 144. Shell subulate, longitudinally 

 striated, with the whirls undivided, and 

 marked at the sutures with a spotted belt.
