The elevation of the spire varies so greatly in the species, that Rossmassler's drawing could not be cited as an exact portraiture; the belt of nodules, too, which, in some individuals, forms a connected spiral band adjoining to, though clearly separated from, the suture, in others is obsolete or scarcely distinguishable. The following manuscript note, in our author's own copy of the ' Systema, ' "An potius Buccinum, affine B. precroso, sed majus et piicatum," reveals that he doubted the appropriateness of the generic position he had assigned it: the comparison with prarosum throws light upon its affinities. itturcx BafrgUmitts. The Pleurotoma Babylonia of authors (Sowerby, Conch. Man. f. 379) is marked for this species in the Linnean cabinet. In the revised copy of the ' Systema' 52 (as in the ' Museum Ulricae') has been substituted for 51 in the reference to Gualtier: the synonymy thus ...
