This shell is regularly marked with transverse, waved 

 ridges; it is strong, nearly orbicular, and uniformly 

 white, unless accidentally stained; the fore part is 

 slightly angular and inflected ; the hinge the same as 

 in the preceding species. Length about two inches 

 and a half; breadth rather more. 



Inhabits the Indian and American Ocean. The Ame- 

 rican specimens are said to be sometimes yellowish, and 

 less wrinkled. 



Linnaeus has referred, by mistake, to pi. 43 of Rura- 

 phius, instead of 42, and Gmelin has repeated the error.
