Observ. „The plications, wbich produce nodules on the spiral elevations, become 
almost obsolete on the last half of the body whorl; the nodules number about 10 on 
the penultimate whorl. The entire surface is spirally rather distantly striated, which 
is plainly visible to the naked eye, and also very minutely granosely striated, only 
apparent with the aid,of the lens.“ — Verkrüzens Angabe „ohne Wellen“ wird 
wohl nicht so ganz genau zu nehmen sein.

The habit of the shell is not unlike that of B. undatum but it differs from it in 
many points, especially in the form of the aperture, and thinness of the shell. In 
young specimens the epidermis is so strong, that in drying it breaks the delicate 
edge of the lip.
