 Shell two or three inches long, and rather more than one-third 

 as broad, of a greyish or yellowish white colour ; the spire 

 consists of nine whirls, with a transverse nodulous keel in the 

 middle of each. Chemnitz says that MuUer considered this 

 shell to be the M. lignarius of Linnceus. M. Tm^ris has 

 been constituted from Bonanni, fig. 79, which is quoted by 

 Born for M. Javanus, and certainly belongs either to this 

 species or to M. Babylonius. 



TORNATUS. 68. Shell turreted, smooth, with the 

 whirls concave above and convex below ; 

 outer lip with a notch at the summit, and the 

 beak rather long.
