Buceinum.

Pl. XIX, fig. 73. 
B. testa ovato-conica, brevi, acuta, longitudinaliter plicata, luteo-oliva- 
cea, albo rufo-maculata ; ultimo anfractu ad medium levigato, anticé trans- 
versim striato; aperturd subrotundata, albescente; dextro labro crasso, 
intus tenuissime striato. 
Shell ovate, conical, spire short, pointed, composed of seven 
or eight convex whirls, noduled at their upper part, ornament- 
ed upon their whole external surface with slightly undulated 
longitudinal folds. Oftentimes the folds upon the lowest whirl 
disappear partially upon the edge of the right lip, and this 
whirl presents at its base a few strie which intersect the folds 
crosswise, and thus form granulations. Aperture sub-rotund, 
whitish, a little narrowed above. Right lip thick, accompa- 
nied by a slightly prominent external varix ; the internal part 
of the lip marked with numerous fine strie. 
Length 10 lines. Width 5 lines. 
Inhabits the seas of New Holland at Port Jackson, where it 
is quite common. 
The general color of this shell is of a greenish gray, with 
transverse lines more deeply colored. Upon the longitudinal 
folds there are white and reddish spots, which give them the 
appearance of articulated tubercles. This peculiar coloring 
easily distinguishes it from other species.
