B. catheartice RVE., Conch. Icon., pi. 42, fig. 265 (Oct., 1848). 



I do not know upon what grounds Pfeiffer unites this with B. 

 pintadinus Orb., for it seems to be an entirely different species ; the 

 figure 265c of Reeve's plate, however, offers some approach to pinta- 

 dinus (see pi. 36, figs. 84, 85). 



P. VICTOR Pfeiffer. PL 33, figs. 47, 48. 



Shell imperforate, fusiform-ovate, rather solid, lightly striate, not 

 shining. Painted with bands of } 7 ellowish-white, tessellated with 

 reddish, and wider bands of greenish-brown streaked with whitish. 

 Spire conic, the apex rather obtuse. Whorls 5, the upper but little 

 convex, the last whorl three-fifths the shell's length, more convex, at- 

 tenuated at base. Columella lightly arcuate, white. Aperture 

 oblique, oblong-oval, pearly within ; peristome red, thickened, nar- 

 rowly reflexed, the ends connected by a deep violet callus. Alt. 65, 

 diam. 29 ; aperture 40 mill, long, 20 wide. (P/V*.).
