GENUS BUCCINUM. 7 
transverse furrows; spire composed of seven or eight whirls, 
traversed by thick, noduled folds, somewhat oblique, and much 
less apparent upon the lowest whirl, which is encircled by one 
or two very apparent convex keels, which rarely exist upon the 
upper whirls. Aperture whitish, rounded, deeply emarginat- 
ed at its base; right lip white, reflected, and slightly emar- 
ginated at its upper part ; columella white and waved. 
Length 2 inches 9 lines. Width 16 lines. 
Inhabits the Northern Seas. 
This species is distinguished from all others, by one or two 
keels upon the lowest whirl, and by the thick noduled folds which 
traverse the other whirls; these folds are seen strongly promi- ° 
nent, only upon this species and the Buccinum undatum. It 
differs from that, by its form, and particularly by its aperture, the 
lip of which is bordered by a very distinct varix.

Shell oblong, conical, rather thin, of a reddish brown color, 
covered transversely with strie and ridges, with some slightly 
apparent longitudinal strie ; the transverse ridges are raised 
and very prominent; spire elongated; seven whirls to the

elongated, ovate, of a reddish yellow, slightly emarginated at
