Martyn, but the heavy appearance and great general similitude 

 to P. maculosa, ascertained by the examination of specimens 

 collected by Dr. Wm. Stimpson, of the U. S. N. Pacific Expl.

 European species. Buccinum guttatum, Phil., an unfigured spe- 

 cies from Java (?), appears from the description to be very similar 

 to P. cingulata.
