BUCCINUM grarmlatum. 
TAB. C X.—Fig. 4. 
Spec. Char. Shell ovate, pointed, transversely 
striated, and with twenty longitudinal rows of 
tubercles; outer lip thickened, many -toothed 
within. 
This has about four rather swelling whorls ; between the 
striae are many little tubercles arranged in longitudinal 
ridges, sometimes larger on the upper edge of the whorl ; 
at the upper part of the inner lip is a tooth so placed oppo- 
site to one in the outer lip, as to form with it an apparent 
sinus, corresponding, but smaller, with that at the base of 
the columella. The aperture is obovate; edge of the outer 
lip rather straightened in the middle ; the sinus at the base 
is a little curved. 
A pretty little shell, which varies from less than a quarter 
to nearly three quarters of an inch in length. I have been 
favoured with very perfect specimens by my Ipswich 
friend. It closely resembles B. macula, but may be dis- 
tinguished ^ by the longitudinal rows of tubercles or granules.
