Shell oblong, doubly conical, ornamented with transverse raised lines; spire 
elevated, coronated, terminating in a small pointed pullus, consisting of two or three 
smooth volutions ; the transverse lines are smooth, regular, numerous, and separated 
by rather deep, rounded furrows ; the whorls, which are five or six in number without 
the pullus, are flat at the sides, slightly contracted and produced in front, angulated 
at the shoulders, and depressed at the sutural margins, forming a narrow ledge running 
round the spire, the outer edge of which is finely granulated; the space between the 
margin and the shoulder is slightly concave, and presents two or three faint, concentric, 
unequal, raised lines. The early whorls bear on the shoulders a row of transverse, 
oblong tubercles, imparting a somewhat nodulous character to the spire, but lost on the 
last whorl, the shoulder of which is smooth. The aperture is straight, narrow, and 
about two thirds of the whole shell in length; the outer lip, which is but slightly 
curved, presents a shallow sinus at the posterior extremity: the columella is nearly 
straight. 
Brander’s shell, deposited in the British Museum, is unfortunately mislaid, and I 
have not been able to compare with it the shells now described. They agree, how- 
ever, with Solander’s description and figure in all respects except in the striation. 
Brander’s shell, which was apparently a larger and an older specimen than any I 
possess, and was probably somewhat worn, is described as obsolete striata ; while the 
transverse lines on my specimen are generally bold and clearly defined. 
The Bracklesham Bay shell, described by Mr. Sowerby as C. corculum, is a little 
shorter in the spire; but, in all other respects, it agrees exactly with the present 
species, to which, therefore, I have referred it.
