 PL XIX, fig. 73. 



B. testa ovato-conica, brevi, acuta, longitudinaliter plicata, luteo-oliva- 

 cea, albo rufo-maculata; ultimo anfractu ad medium Isevigato, antic6 trans-

Shell ovate, conical, spire short, pointed, composed of seven 

 or eight convex whirls, noduled at their upper part, ornament- 

 ed upon their whole external surface with slightly undulated 

 longitudinal folds. Oftentimes the folds upon the lowest whirl 

 disappear partially upon the edge of the right lip, and this 

 whirl presents at its base a few strise which intersect the folds 

 crosswise, and thus form granulations. Aperture sub-rotund, 

 whitish, a little narrowed above. Right lip thick, accompa- 

 nied by a slightly prominent external varix ; the internal part 

 of the lip marked with numerous fine striae. 



Length ] lines. Width 5 lines. 



Inhabits the seas of New Holland at Port Jackson, where it 

 is quite common. 



The general color of this shell is of a greenish gray, with 

 transverse lines more deeply colored. Upon the longitudinal 

 folds there are white and reddish spots, which give them the 

 appearance of articulated tubercles. This peculiar coloring 

 easily distinguishes it from other species.
