the suture deeply channelled, and the peculiarly narrow intervals of 

 the seventeen very prominent body ribs (almost every alternate one 

 of which is spotted) are alike devoid of costellee ; the throat is rather 

 pale. The variety august a (Reeve, Conch. Icon. Dol. f. 7 b) is more 

 oval, its spire is more produced, and its suture less conspicuously 

 channelled.

Dolium Australe, Morch, Cat. Yoldi, for the species of Chemnitz. 

 Dillwyn appears to have preferred the second appellation of Chem- 

 nitz, to prevent confusion with the Buccinum australe of Gmelin.

The D. maculatum (an abbreviation of the D. m. papyraceum of 

 Martini, f. 1075), indicated in Schroter's index to Martini and 

 Chemnitz, is the fry of some other species. 



From the especial notice in the ' Systema ' of the remoteness of

 the one intended by Linnaeus in his earlier publication.
