This large and very beautiful shell, a species that scarcely ever 

 fails to occur in the cabinet of every conchologist, is a native of the 

 seas of India and Africa, and is also stated to have been met with in 

 the vicinity of Owyhee and other Islands of the Great Southern or 

 Pacific Ocean# In the Linnsean system it is arranged as one of the 

 Buccinum tribe. Some writers of the present day retain it as a 

 Terebra.
