Inhabits the coasts of Germany and Britain. Bonanni, fyc. 



This shell has the habit and size of D. trunculus, from which 

 it may be known by its being without longitudinal stria?, and 

 having the margin entire ; it is of a pale yellow, or purplish 

 colour, with small white spots or streaks, and one broad 

 longitudinal white ray. 



striata. 7. Shell oblong-oval, longitudinally 

 striated, truncated obliquely at the anterior, 

 and rounded et the posterior end ; margin 

 denticulated.

Inhabits the shores of Southern Europe. Linnaus. Jamaica. 

 Lister. Mediterranean. Chemnitz. 



The shell figured by Chemnitz for D. striata, is about eight 

 lines long, and twice as broad ; whitish, marked all over 

 with longitudinal stria?, and toothed and crenated at the 

 margin. Linnaeus has not given any reference, and his des- 

 cription is so short, that some difference of opinion will pro- 

 bably always prevail respecting this species ; Gmelin has 

 generally followed Schroeter, but in this instance he has al- 

 together rejected the reference to Chemnitz, and quoted a 

 figure of Knorr's, (vi. t. 28. f. 8.) which is at most, only a 

 Variety of D. rugosa. 



denticulata. 8. Shell ovate-wedge-shaped, with 

 longitudinal stria?, and intermediate dots; 

 anterior slope transversely wrinkled, and the 

 margin toothed.
