BUCCINUM elegans. 



TAB. CCCCLXXVII— /g^. 1. 



Spec. Char. Conical, acuminated ; whorls ventri- 

 cose, ornamented with nine or ten sharp ele- 

 vated striae that rise over numerous rounded 

 costae ; aperture nearly round, toothed within. 



A PRETTY sharp-pointed Buccinum ; the costae although 

 small are so much elevated and so much larger than the 

 lines that pass over them, that they do not lose their 

 form or appear divided. 



Named and presented by the Rev. G. R. Leathes, 

 who found it in the Suffolk Crag. 



BUCCINUM propinquum. 



TAB. CCCCLXXVII—Zg^. 2. 



Spec Char. Ovate, pointed, longitudinally cos-

 transverse sulci, the uppermost of which is 

 very broad ; aperture obovate. 



A SHELL very nearly resembling B. granulatum of 

 M. C. tab. 110, but it is more ovate and commonly 

 larger; the upper tubercle of each row is distant from 

 the others, and so a kind of crown is formed upon each 

 whorl ; the lip does not appear to be toothed within. 



We know of no recent species that exactly resembles 

 this, although there are several that approach very near 

 to it ; one in particular might be thought the same, had
