The E. octoradiaf.a of Sowerby (pi. 29, fig. 4) is probably a form

 generally.

Shell ovate, conic, inflated, whitish ; radiating ribs alternately

Elevated-conical, pale tawny, with distant, large, rugose, alternately 

 smaller radiating ribs ; expanded behind, narrowed in front ; fissure 

 short, apex acute, obliquely recurved. The two prominent anterior
