 siiperne concavo-depressis, trmisversini subtilissime ei cre- 

 berr'mie striatis, apertiira fauce radiatim iemdlirald; 

 piirpureo-nigricante, columella et aperturcB fauce albk, 

 fiisco-pjirpureo tinctis. 



The collared Bhccinuji. Shell conically ovate, whorls 

 concavely depressed rouud the upper part, transversely 

 very finely and closely striated, interior of the aper-

Purpura limhosa, Lamarck, Anim. sans vert. (Deshayes' 

 edit.) vol. X. p. 78. 



Hab. ? 



A species not often met with, of which there are two or 



three fine examples in the British Museum ; it was only 



known to Lamarck in a young state. 



Species 36. (Mus. Ginning.) 



BucciNUM LiNEOLATUM. Buc. testd conico-ovatd, spird 

 elevatiusculd, lavigatd; griseo-fuscescente lineis nigris 

 aqualibus nunc interruptis, nunc iutegris, cingulatd, 

 apertura fauce carulescente, columelld labrique margine 

 interno rufo-aurantiis. 



The lineated Bdccinum. Shell conically ovate, spire 

 rather elevated, smooth; greyish brown, encii'cled 

 with equal black lines sometimes interrupted, some- 

 times entii-e, interior of the aperture blueish, colu- 

 mella and inner edge of the lip stained with orange. 



Lamarck, Anim. sans vert. (Deshayes' edit.) p. 164. and 

 p. 186. 



Hab. New Zealand. 



M. Deshayes has published this as a new species of M. 

 Quoy, without observing it to have been already described 

 by Lamarck under the same name ; should M. Quoy's 

 entire-lined shell prove eventually to be distinct from the 



interrupted-lined species of Lamarck (figm-ed by M. Kiener 

 at pi. 8. f. 35. as a variety of -B. macnlatum), I may here 

 suggest that it be named Buccimim Quoyi, in honour of 

 the indefatigable naturalist of the ' Astrolabe.' 



Species 37. (Mus. Cuming.) 



BucciNUM ALVEOLATUM. Biic. tedd conico-ovatd, spird 

 elevatiusculd, ItBvigatd ; griseo- aut ctBrulescente-albidd, 

 niaculis caruleo-nigris transverse oblongis creberrime 

 seriatim cinctd. 



The tessellated Buccinum. Shell conically ovate, spire 

 rather elevated, smooth ; gTcyish or blueish white, 

 closely encircled with transversely oblong blue-black 

 spots. 



KiENEE, Icon. coq. viv. p. 33. pi. x. f. 34. 



Hab. New Holland. 



This is little more than a variety of the interrupted-lined 

 B. Uneolatum, in which the lines assume the mdth of inter- 

 rupted bands ; an argument however in favour of its being 

 regarded as a species, is, that it never occurs with entire 

 bauds. 



Species 38. (Mus. Brit.) 



BucciNUM PLURIANULATA. Buc. testd cotdco-ovatd, an- 

 fractibus superne concavo-depressis, luevigatis, apertures 

 fauce subtiliter liratd ; griseo-albidd, lineis nigris im- 

 dique creberrime cingulatd, apertura fauce nigricante, 

 labri margine interno albicante. 



The MANY-RINGED BucciNUM. Shell conically ovate, 

 whorls concavely depressed round the upper part, 

 smooth, interior of the aperture finely ridged; greyish- 

 white, very closely encircled thi-oughout with black 

 lines, interior of the aperture blackish, inner edge of 

 the lip whitish. 



Hab. Swan lliver. 



Perfectly distinguished from the B. Uneolatum both in 

 form and coloming.
