 The base is about an inch and a quarter long, and three-fourths 

 as broad ; the colour is brown, with the summit and the im- 

 bricated granules white ; the inside is whitish and slightly 

 pearly, and has a yellowish muscular impression at the apex ; 

 the summit is not central, but placed almost twice as near 

 to one end as to the other. Linnaeus has mixed the refer- 

 ences which belong to this species with those of P. grana- 

 tina, and Born in consequence has mistaken both these 

 species. 



GRANATINA. 27. Shell ovate, depressed, with dis- 

 tant alternately smaller ribs, and transverse 

 undulated rows of dark scales ; margin an- 

 gular.
