TAB. CCCCLXXVII— /g. 1. 
Spec. Char. Conical, acuminated ; whorls ventri-

lines that pass over them, that they do not lose their 
form or appear divided. 
Named and presented by the Rev. G. R. Leathes, 
who found it in the Suffolk Crag.

TAB. CCCCLXXVII— /g. 2. 
Spec. Char. Ovate, pointed, longitudinally cos-

transverse sulci, the uppermost of which is 
very broad ; aperture obovate. 
A shell very nearly resembling B. granulatum of 
M. C. tab. 110, but it is more ovate and commonly 
larger ; the upper tubercle of each row is distant from 
the others, and so a kind of crown is formed upon each 
whorl ; the lip does not appear to be toothed within. 
We know of no recent species that exactly resembles 
this, although there are several that approach very near 
to it ; one in particular might be thought the same, had
