Shell ovate, greyish-brown, with numerous small elevated white 

 pimples ; the dorsal line impressed, narrow, as long as the shell ; 

 base white or whitish brown, convex, ribbed with elevated yellow- 

 edged ribs, which are sometimes forked ; margin above crenulated 

 with white teeth ; aperture linear ; teeth close. Length ^, 

 diameter Ji^ of an inch. 



The larger variety, which may be, as Lamarck considers it, a 

 distinct species, only differs from the former in having fewer and 

 larger white convex spots; for I have specimens, the base of which 

 are as completely ribbed as that of C. staphylcea ; and when both 

 sorts are partly worn, the ribs near the edge disappear.

 costata.
