This shell appears, by Chemnitz's figures, to be about eleven 

 lines long and ten broad, with the outer surface very black, 

 and the pillar-lip and inside white. The shell which Born 

 has figured for a Variety of Nerita glaucina, is much more 

 like the present species.

 Shell three quarters of an inch or an inch long, and nearly 

 equally broad, thick, with five or six whirls, of which the 

 body-whirl is larger than all the others together ; when full 

 grown it is usually nearly smooth, and of an uniform brown- 

 ish colour ; but younger shells are more distinctly striated 

 transversely, and variously marked with broad or narrow 

 purplish brown, white, yellow, or reddish bands, and have 

 the summit more acuminated. This species is extremely 

 abundant on the coasts of Great Britain, and is commonly 

 sold in our markets under the name of the Periwinkle. 



TENEBROSus. 6. Shell sub-conical, rather obtuse, 

 with the body-whirl ventricose.
