1. Buccinum PUXLEIANUM. 
B. anfractibus planiusculis, longitudinaliter et crebrd subundu- 
loso-striatis ; interstitiis transversim striolatis. 
Habitat in sinu, Bantry Bay dicto, in Hibernia. Mus. D. 
Bingham. 
Whorls flattish, longitudinally and closely striated ; the strize 
somewhat undulated, the interstices striolated transversely. 
The strize on all the whorls were equidistant, and of the same 
proportion. : 
This very beautiful and new species of Buccinum was disco- 
vered by J. L. Puxley, Esq. in Bantry Bay, and was sent by 
him to General Bingham, who kindly permitted me to draw up 
the above description. This specimen was about 12 inch in 
height, and had all the indications of extreme youth, no peri- 
treme being visible in the posterior aspect of the aperture.
