Not illustrated. 1830 Excerpt: ...glans. I supposed it to be that species, as Montfort says it lives in the interior of Louisiana. But Ferussac says that our shell is not the glans of Bruguiere, which is not an inhabitant of Louisiana, but of St. Domingo. In his general observations, as well as in a letter to me, he says it is the Buccinum striatum of Chemnitz and BuRATE xx. linms striatus of Bruguiere; whereas in his enumeration of the species, he rejects the name striatus entirely and places those two synonyms under two separate species, to which he gives new names. I think however that this name cannot in justice to Muller, from whom Bruguiere adopted it, be applied to our species, inasmuch as he had reference to the South American species. As it is, therefore, neither the glans nor the striata, I adopt the name applied by Gmelin, for which I am indebted to the synonyms collected by Ferussac, on whose accuracy and opportunities for comparison in kthis instance, I wholly rely, when in my own opinion, the reference would, but for this authority, be doubtful.
