Common on the coasts of Surinam. Martini. 



The base measures seventeen by fourteen lines, and Martini's 

 figure is of a whitish colour, becoming browner and irregu- 

 larly striped with brown towards the base ; the summit is 

 smooth and slightly elevated, and the inside yellowish. Fa- 

 vanne, in the Appendix, has quoted Martini's fig. 50 for Xe 

 Cadran, but the descriptions do not well agree, and the 

 figures are quite unlike each other. 



PUNCTULATA. 77. Shell roundish-oblong-, with ra- 

 diated striae towards the base, and scattered 

 dots ; summit central and smooth ; margin 

 slightly sinuated.

The base is about fourteen lines long, and an inch broad ; the 

 colour is white, with scattered red, black, and yellow dots, 

 and two brown transverse lines near the base, which, though 

 otherwise described, appears in the figure to be slightly sinu- 

 ated. Gmehn has inadvertently described this shell with the 

 same name in two places, and Dr. Turton has been thereby 

 misled to change the name in one place to punctata. 



NOTATA. 78. Shell depressed, with longitudinal 

 dark striae, and a pointed erect summit ; in- 

 side white, with the muscular impression 

 spatula-shaped.
