Wauen young the knobs upon the latter whorls are 
scarcely discernable; when full grown they are about half 
an inch long, and about the same distance from each other ; 
the length of the shell is eight inches, or even sometimes 
more; the young shells show transverse strie upon the 
upper whorls. 
This is one of the handsomest shells found at Barton or 
Hordwell Cliffs in Hampshire. I have figured an uncom- 
monly perfect specimen from the cabinet of Miss Benett. 
Most of the specimens found are only fragments, and those 
approaching to perfection seldom have the beaks entire.
