any transverse keel or longitudinal plaits on the body- whirl. 

 Gmelin's other M. versicolor at p. 3530, is only a Variety 

 of M. ramosus. 



VERRUCOSUS. 75. Shell turreted, umbilicated, with 

 transverse ribs which are more elevated in 

 the middle, and the whirls coronated ; beak 

 rather short and incurved.

Shell about four inches long, and one inch and a half broad, 

 and Martini's figures are painted pale brown with darker 

 small brown spots, except on the pillar-lip which is white ; 

 it is transversely ribbed, and longitudinally plaited or no- 

 dulous on the shoulder of the whirls ; Martini says the beak 

 is flexuous and incurved, and he has quoted Bonanni's fi- 

 gure, which in other respects more resembles a Variety of 

 M. Colm. KcBm merer has referred to Martini, fig. 1341, 

 for a separate species, to which I cannot discover that it has 

 any claim. 



MORio. 76. Shell ventricose, transversely striated, 

 blackish with a white band, and the whirls 

 somewhat nodulous ; aperture dilated, and 

 the pillar wrinkled.
