This species has very much of the appearance of a Buccinum, from 

 which genus it is only distinguished by the two folds on the columel- 

 la ; it varies in colour, some specimens being of a very pale, others 

 of a darker fawn colour ; some again are of a dark brown colour all 

 over, while others are of a dark brown with a light band perceptible 

 within the aperture. 



Found in from seven to fifteen fathoms with a sandy muddy bottom.
