EXOTIC CONCHOLOGY. 



folded, the colour usually brownish, richly clouded and variegated with chesnut, 

 and the aperture tinged with pale red or rosy. I believe this species inhabits the 

 coast of Aniei'ica. It is a heavy shell, and sometimes measures seven inches in 



extreme length.

Shell turbinate, transversely ribbed, clouded with white and reddish-brown. 

 The body-whorl, is angulated near the suture and armed on the ridge with a range 

 of transversely compressed protuberances, which rmi up the short and acute spire, 

 lessening in size as they proceed upwards. The pillar and outer lip are of a beau- 

 tiful pale tawny orange, the former tapering downwards to an extremely fine point, 

 the latter, which is smooth and effuse, elegantly produced upwards into a more or 

 less linear lobe, which is frequently elevated far beyond the summit of the spire. 

 Length, exclusive of the lobe, four inches. Habitat Asiatic and American seas.
