 dotted within ; outer lip simple, unexpanded ; columella with a

The color-pattern seems to constantly separate this species from 

 thamnoicus, and it is less obese than revinctus. B. punctulifer has 

 different apical sculpture, and inhabits a region very different in 

 physical features. 



B. NUCINUS (Reeve). PI. 9, figs. 35, 36. 



Shell slightly perforated, ovate-conic, solid, most minutely granu- 

 lated ; whitish, irregularly painted with arcuate brown lines. Spire

 shorter than the spire, rotund at base. Columella somewhat straight- 

 ened, slightly receding. Aperture subvertical, oval-oblong ; peris- 

 tome thick, unexpanded, the right margin lightly arcuate, columel- 

 lar margin dilated above, reflexed, convex, subappressed. Alt. 37,
