irregularly ornamented with longitudinal reddish lines, interrupted 

 into dots, sometimes in pairs. Spire turrited, the apex a little acute, 

 pale. Whorls 8, convex, the last not attaining one-third the entire

Aperture slightly oblique, auriform-oval, white within ; peristome 

 simple, not expanded, acute ; columellar margin very much dilated 

 above, reflexed, almost closing the perforation. Columella somewhat 

 twisted. Alt. 18, diam. 6 mill.; aperture 6 mill, long, 3 wide.

 turrited spire and form of the aperture. It differs from B. elatus 

 Phil, in the more convex, shorter whorls, nearly closed perforation, 

 etc. (Pfr.).

 {1863). PFR., Monogr., vi, p. 119. 



This species, belonging to the group of B. lichenum, hamiltoni, 

 rhodacme, etc., is a very much elongated shell, solid, white, moder- 

 ately shining, with rare traces of punctation. The two or three 

 earlier whorls of the spire are smooth and corneous ; the following 

 are engraved with oblique and rather wide but superficial striae ; the 

 last whorl has a moderate aperture, noticeably angular at the base 

 and fawn-colored inside. The columella is nearly vertical, dilated 

 feebly above, forming a triangular lamina which is applied to the 

 umbilical region. When this expansion does not adhere quite
