 Shell about an inch and a half long, and an inch broad ; pel- 

 iucid, white, with undulated transverse brown stripes more 

 or less crowded ; the aperture is large, and the spire depress- 

 ed. B. virgata is represented twice as large, with all the 

 stripes darker, and some quite black ; but in other respects 

 it answers to the more common appearance of this species. 



nitidula. 25. Shell oval, white, with straight 

 transverse, and waved longitudinal red lines ; 

 spire convex.

Shell about five lines long, and three broad; thin, brittle, 

 white, and marked with three straight transverse red lines^ 

 crossed by several longitudinal ones of the same colour- 

 which are undulated. This is a perfectly distinct species^ 

 though it has been strangely confounded with B. Physis by 

 Schroeter and Gmelin. 



amplustre. 26. Shell roundish, white, with two 

 flesh-coloured bordered zones ; spire elevat- 

 ed, retuse.
