The smaller figure is of the size of nature. 
Observations. A single specimen of this pretty little 
species was found in the sand of the box in which the 
specimens came, by a young conchologist of my family. 
I promised him that it should be his species, should it: 
prove new, of which, on examination, I have no doubt. 
The radiating striz are closer as well as longer, and more — 
numerous below than above. -/”

S. ornatum. Plate 4. Fig. 108. 
Description. Shell convex above, flattened below, fur-— 
nished with many granular transverse lines, three of 
which, on the superior part of the whorl, are larger than =~ 
the others, furrowed on both sides of the carina which is * 
crenulate, longitudinally striate ; substance of the shell ; 
rather thick ; suture furrowed ; umbilicus very wide, per- 
spective, beautifully crenate at the edge, furrowed within 
and longitudinally striate; whorls six; mouth -subor- a 
bicular. ane 
Length .2, Breadth 9-20ths, of an inch. 
Observations. This species is very like Branders’s figure * 
of Turbo canaliculatum, and Sowerby’s figure of the same ~ 
species, Solarium canaliculatum, plate 524. On compari- “ 
son, however, with a specimen from Hampshire, sent to me 
under that name, I find them very different; the umbilicus 
being much wider in the species from Claiborne, which is 
also more carinate, and has smaller and more numerous 
sranulate lines. %
