Unper the synonyms of Voluta bullata, Linneus and his 
followers have included this, and another very distinct shell ; 
it becomes therefore necessary to characterize this as dis- 
tinct ; and as Born’s description is drawn up with great 
attention and exactness, | have, on consideration, thought 
it best to retain this shell under his specific name; but the 
other Linnean authorities being dubious, and belonging to 
two species, are not quoted. It is nearly double the size of 
any Marginella yet discovered.

operculum horny? umbilicus open. 
Tuovucu I incline more to the idea that this gigantic shell is 
but a variety of Ampullaria fasciata (Zool, Ml. vol. 11. pl. 103.)
