Pl. XIII, fig. 46. 
B. testa parva, fusiformi, castaned, transversim tenuissimé striata ; an- 
fractibus convexiusculis, superné longitudinaliter plicatis, atris et albis 
maculis cinctis; apertura angusta, ovata, fuscescente; labro dextro tenui, 
intus striato. 
Shell small, spindle-shaped, of a chestnut color, covered 
with numerous fine, transverse strie; nine slightly convex 
whirls to the spire, the upper longitudinally plaited; sutures 
pretty apparent, edged with small black and white slightly 
elongated spots. Aperture narrow, ovate, brownish ; right lip 
thin, delicately striated within. Columella slightly arcuated 
and smooth, forming a small canal, emarginated at base. 
Length 6 lines. Width 2 lines. 
Inhabits the Mediterranean, the coasts of Provence, and the 
Isle of Hiéres. 
This singular little shell has the aspect of a Ciausm1a, on 
which account we give it the name. It has also some resem- 
blance to the Buccinum Gervillii of Payreaudeau, but it is par- 
ticularly distinguished by its more narrow and more elongated 
form, by the transverse strie which cover its whole surface, and 
above all, by its size, which is smaller than that of this last 
species.
