tuum margine superiore angulato subnodosOy cauda hrevi, 
fauce sulcata. 
Icon. 
Shell ovate turreted, whitish-brown, with eleven or twelve long-itu- 
dinal interrupted ribs forming- long tubercles on the centre of the 
whorls ; the whorls with distant impressed spiral lines near the su- 
ture, with a rather flattened slightly nodulose band; the mouth 
rather more than one-third the length of the shell ; outer lip thin 
inside, grooved; tail short, with a linear depression on its colu- 
mella side ; axis ten-twelfths, diameter four-twelfths of an inch. 
59. Cassis achatina, var. Lam. Hist. vii. 226. 
A worn specimen, apparently a variety of this species. It is en- 
tirely smooth, polished, and has the last whorl near the spire slightly 
concave, edged with a scarcely raised rather nodulous line, the outer 
lip is very thick, grooved on its inner edge, and the columella is 
distinctly plaited. 
It may perhaps prove to be a new kind ; but the species of this 
genus are so exceedingly apt to vary, that I do not wish to increase 
the number of the already too much extended lists of Lamarck and 
others.
