The growth of this species varies, as represented by the 
specimens figured, from a swollen oblong shape to a more 
elongated form. Sometimes the shell is banded, and it is 
always more or less crenulated along the margin next the 
sutures. The colour is mostly a dull livid olive brown, 
but the specimen Pig. c, collected by Mr. Bridges, is a 
pale yellow. '

The B. rosaceus inhabits a wide range of country and is 
found in very different states. The variety Fig. a, which 
may be regarded as the typical form, inhabits the environs 
of Valparaiso ; that represented at Fig. b, distinguished 
by its rude concentric striae, strong crenulations, and warm 
orange colouring of the lip and interior, was collected iu 
great plenty and with little or no variation at lluasco, 
Chili ; and at Cocapata, Bolivia, a variety of still larger 
size ocem’s of thin light gi'owth with scarcely any indication 
of cremdations or strife. At Huasco, the species was 
also collected by Mr. Bridges in a state quite distinct from 
these, of much smaller dimensions, paler in colouri and 
of a minutely granulated satiny hue. This is the B. 
pachycheilus of Pfeiffer, and apparently the shell from 
Bahia Blanca taken by D’Orbigmy for the B. nucleus wdth 
which he does not seem to be acquainted. Another con- 
dition of the B. rosaceus is that of similar size from Co- 
quimbo, described by Mr. Sowerby as a distinct species 
under the name B. Chilensis. It shofdd be observed that 
the eggs of these smaller species are of a more oblong 
form than those of the first mentioned.
