Specific Character. 

 B. testa liBvi conica; spins anfractihis quinque ; ultimo aliqvxintulum distorto; 

 albis duahusfasciis ferrugineis inaqualibus ; anfractu hasilari rufo dttabus 

 albis fasciis ; apertura alba. 



Shell smooth, conic, of five volutions, the last somewhat distorted ; white, 

 with two unequal ferrugineous bands ; body whirl rufous, with two 

 white bands. Aperture white. 



A SMALL though very elegant shell, seldom seen in Collections ; 

 nor do I find such a description of it as will identify the species. 

 One figured by Martini, at tab. 134, fig. 1215, comes near it, 

 but differs sufficiently for a specific distinction. 



Its precise locality is unknown : a fine specimen exists in my 

 father's collection, who thinks it came from the East Indies ; and 

 this is the only one I have yet seen. 



The aperture is more round than ovate, and is less than one 

 half the total length of the shell ; the outer lip much reflected, 

 and the transverse bands on the spiral whirls nearly obsolete.
