Inhabits the coasts of Britam. Montagu. 



Shell a quarter of an inch long, with elegantly cancellated 

 whirls, and of a brown colour. Mr. Montagu says, " In its 

 worn state it is so like T. Cimex, that several, which had 

 been picked up on the western shores of England, had been 

 placed in our cabinet with that shell ; the strize, however, 

 that form the cancelli are much closer, leaving the depres- 

 sions much smaller ; the shape of the shell is also more 

 slender, and may readily be known even in this state from 

 T. Cimex, by having four series of cancelli on the second 

 spire instead of two, which that shell invariably has. 



PULLUS. 17. Shell ovate, glossy, with four convex 

 variegated whirls; aperture sub-orbicular 

 and somewhat produced at the base.

Da Costa, S^c. 

 Shell a quarter, or sometimes three-eighths, of an inch long, 

 and half as broad, with four rounded glossy whirls, of 

 which the body-whirl is larger than all the others ; it is al- 

 ways beautiful, and in Langland Bay, near Swansea, it oc- 

 curs in innumerable varieties, as Da Costa has described : 

 * The ground colour is white, prettily variegated with red ; 

 sometimes only mottled or shaded with pale red ; sometimes 

 with longitudinal broad waved stripes of a fine deep purple 

 red, and sometimes the pale red runs in circular girdles, very 

 regular, and adorned with short transverse streaks of dark 

 brown.' 



PERSONATUS. 18. Shell imperforate, couvcx, siiiooth, 

 .and the aperture produced.

The above figure of Rumphius, to which Linnaeus has referred, 

 is clearly only a Variety of T. Petholatus, and T. personatus 

 is probably nothing more. Chemnitz, on the other hand,
