of an orange yellow color; spire pointed, composed of seven 
sub-convex whirls, bearing upon their whole surface numerous 
longitudinal folds, intersected by fine transverse and approxi- 
mate strie. ‘The striz of the lowest whirl a little more distinct 
towards the base. ‘The sutures ornamented, near the edge, 
with a row of small granulations, separated by a transverse 
furrow. Aperture whitish, ovate, narrow, contracted at its 
base ; right lip denticulated. 
Length 5 lines. Width 2 lines. 
Inhabits the coasts of the Island of Java. 
The form of this small species is the same as that of the 
B. pulchellum of Blainville; it differs from it, nevertheless, by 
its more prominent folds, the granulations around the sutures, 
and, above all, by its invariably uniform coloring, of an orange 
yellow.
