SHELL rather solid, elongated ovate, the surface rough and undulated 
by the striz of growth, somewhat etched with minute, crowded, inter- 
rupted revolving lines. Whorls five, or a little more, rather ventricose, 
the last one ample, and covered with a coarse, loosely adhering, dingy 
yellow epidermis, marbled with deep green blotches, arranged some- 
what in longitudinal zigzag stripes. Aperture narrow, and rather 
small, half as long as the shell, nearly elliptical, pale orange within, 
becoming intense at the columella and lip, which is obtuse, but not 
reflected. ‘The columella has a moderate-sized, very oblique fold. 
Umbilicus distinct, oblong, of moderate dimensions. 
Length of axis two and a quarter inches; breadth one and two- 
fifths of an inch. 
Inhabits the Feejee Islands. 
Belongs to the same group as B. fulguratus and B. malleatus, Jay, 
characterized by the large fold on the columella. It is the largest of 
the three, resembling the former in its sculpture and the colouring of 
the aperture, and the latter in general colouring. It is distinguished 
by its unreflected lip, its narrow aperture, less conspicuous and more 
oblique columellar fold, more ventricose and less oblique whorls. 
Figures 84, 84 a, two views of the shell.
