Chemnitz has described this shell to be two inches and seven 

 lines long, and an inch and three-quarters broad, of a whitish 

 colour, with seven reddish foliated varices. It may possi- 

 bly be nothing more than an extraordinary Variety of M. 

 Trunculiis, but Schreibers, as well as Chemnitz, considered 

 it to be distinct, and the former has arranged it among the 

 foliated species in the second division.
