Differs from the true Belas in several particulars, besides distri- 

 bution, and has the general appearance of Mangilia ; but must 

 be separated from that genus (in our very artificial classification), 

 on account of having an operculum. The synonymy includes 

 B. costata, Donov., B. secalina, Phil. (PI. 22, fig. 42), a small 

 form, and B. Petitii, Maravigna, which = the latter. B. Ginnan- 

 iana, Reeve, not Risso (PI. 21, fig. 9), is here referred by 

 Forbes and Hanley a very doubtful identification.
