IN offering the Third Volume of the Manual of Conchology,
I desire to express my sincere thanks for the very kind reception
which the work has obtained from those interested in this arid
kindred pursuits, throughout the world. My constant endeavor
is to perform my task in such a manner as will, in some measure,
merit a continuance of their approbation.
The present volume includes monographies of the families
Tritonidae, Fusidse and Buccinida?. embracing a large number of
familiar genera : a portion of them variable in specific character-
istics and hence difficult of identification. I trust that the
conservative view r which I have adopted in treating these will at
least facilitate their recognition.
I am under especial obligation to a number of correspondents
who have manifested their interest in the Manual in a very
pleasing way, by sending me (unsolicited, for the most part)
specimens, drawings and critical observations upon the species.
I shall be glad to continue to receive similar aid, and as a hint to
those who are willing to furnish it, I would mention that, in
addition to the three families mentioned above, material relating
to the genera Nassa, Turbinella, \ r oluta, Mitra, Columbella, Mar-
ginella, Oliva. Anciilaria. Harpa and their allies will be very
acceptable.

Already Triton at his call appears
Above the waves, a Tyrian robe he wears ;
And in his hand a crooked trumpet bears.
The sovereign bids him peaceful sounds inspire,
And give the waves the signal to retire ;
His writhen shell he takes, whose narrow vent,
Grows by degrees into a large extent.
DRTDEN.
I have seen
A' curious child, who dwelt upon a tract
Of inland ground, applying to his ear,
The convolutions of a smooth-lipp'd shell ;
To which, in silence hush'd, his very soul
Listen' d intensely, and his countenance soon
Brighten'd with joy : for murmurings from within
Were heard, sonorous cadences, whereby,
To his belief, the monitor express'd
Mysterious union with its native sea.

MANUAL OF CONCHOLOGY.
Family TRITONIDJE.
Shell with varices, which are either few and irregularly dis-
posed ( Triton ) or form a continuous row crossing the whorls on
opposite sides (RaneUa). The number of varices does not exceed
two to each whorl, whilst in Murex the smallest number is three.
Operculinn annular, with sub-apical or central nucleus. Mantle
enclosed, siphon straight, foot small. Lingual membrane with
teeth in seven rows (3-1-3), like the Doliidse, etc. (The Muricida?
have the teeth 1-1-1). The dentition is illustrated on plate 2.
I have already stated the reasons which induce me to place the
Tritonidae in close connection with the Muricidae, yet forming a
passage to the Cassidida* and Doliidae, rather than arrange them
with the latter groups. See Vol. II, p. 67.
The Tritonida 1 first positively appeared in the eocene strata;
the genus Spinigera d'Orb., from the cretaceous, being now
referred, more correctly I think, to the family Strombidae, and
Trachytriton Meek, also cretaceous, does not belong certainly to
the family.
Synopsis of Genera.
TRITON, Montfort. Shell oblong ; spire prominent, whorls with a few
remote and non-continuous varices ; columella rough or smooth ; canal
recurved, short or long ; outer lip internally crenated or denticulated.
More than a hundred recent species have been characterized.
DISTORSIO, Bolten. Shell subturreted ; whorls distorted ; aperture
irregular, contracted, ringent ; canal recurved ; inner lip dilated,
lamellar, rugosely plicated ; columella excavated, verrucosely plicate ;
outer lip sinuous, internally plicate-dentate.
6 ' TKITON.
RANELLA, Lamarck. Shell ovate or oblong, compressed, with two rows
of continuous varices, one on each side ; aperture oval ; columella
arcuated and ridged, or crenulated ; canal short, recurved ; outer lip
crenated.
There are over fifty recent species. In the lingual dentition (PI. 2).
Triton and Ranella are closely allied, but with a difference in the
rachidian tooth ; Triton Cutaceum, however, approaches Ranella argus.
Distorsio (PI. 2, fig 9.) is not sensibly different from Triton. The
dentition of the family is unmistakably allied to that of the Cassididse,
Doliidse, etc.
Fossil Genera.
The distinctness of the following groups is very doubtful.
RANELLINA, Conrad. The genus was never characterized. The type
differs from the figure in the varices being partially disconnected, thus
showing more affinity to Triton than to Ranella.
RANELLA MACLURII Conrad . Plate 3, fig. 14. Tertiary ; Glaiborne, Ala.
PERSONELLA, Conrad. Genus not characterized. Scarcely a Distorsio,
but more like a Gutturnium.
DISTOKSIO SEPTEMDENTATA, Gabb. Plate 3, fig. 15. Eocene, Texas.
TRITONOPSIS, Conrad. The type is a water-worn specimen, which Mr.
Angelo Heilprin, who has examined the shell, declares to be too
imperfect to assign to it any reliable characters. Has some resemblance
to the section Cabestana, like T. doliarium L.
TRITON SUBALVEATUS, Conrad. Plate 3, fig. 30. Eocene, Vicksburg.
TRACHYTRITON, Meek. The generic character appears to be confined
to the occurrence of internal varices, marking the former positions of
the lip, and which have not been absorbed when growth recommenced ;
otherwise very like Priene Oregonensis = cancellatus. The want of a
callus on the upper part of the columella, which Meek makes a distin-
guishing character from Priene, also characterizes the P. Oregonensis,
young, as described by Mr. Redfield.
T. VINCULTJM, Hall and Meek. PI. 3, fig. 13. Cretaceous, Dakotah.
Genus TEITON, Montfort.
Animal of T. Tritonis, Linn., figured upon Plate 1 (Frontis-
piece). Details of the anatomy of the genus will be found in the
introductory portion of Vol. II of this Manual, together with
figures upon the 3d, 4th and 6th plates thereof.
Shell oblong, with generally prominent spire, the whorls crossed
by a few remote and non-continuous varices ; the columella

smooth or nodulous ; the canal long or short ; the outer lip
erenated or denticulated within.
Opercnlum ovate, its growth annular either from a sub-apical
or submarginal nucleus.
Whilst the lingual armature of Triton allies it elosety with
Dolium, etc., among the so-called tsenioglossate mollusks, the
affinities of the animal are on the whole closer, and those of the
shell decided^ so, to Muricidae.* It may be considered a
connecting link between the two groups, but certainly cannot be
safely removed from the vicinity of the latter, to which it is not
only allied by its operculum (which is entirely different from that
of Dolium), but so closely by the shell in some instances, that
the assignment of the generic position is quite arbitrary.
The Tritons are distinctly tropical in distribution, no species
inhabiting the colder seas. The species are numerous and beau-
tiful, presenting a great range of variation in size and color ; one
species being almost the largest of gasteropod mollusks, attaining
a length of one and a half feet, whilst others, belonging to the
Epidromoid section, do not exceed a half inch in length. The'
cancellated forms are chiefly East Indian, and are dredged in sand
in deep water ; the West Coast of America group, covered with
a rough epidermis, is obtained in sandy mud at from six to thirt}^
fathoms' depth. A number of species have a world-wide distri-
bution , which is doubtless due to their free-swimming or pelagic
larvae. These, unlike the Mu rices, but like the Purpuraj,f are
very different at first from the adult both in animal and shell,
undergoing a metamorphosis at a period subsequent to hatching.
I adopt the well-known name Triton in preference to the pre-
viously given Tritoniiim of Olivier, believing that the interests
of science are best conserved by keeping the nomenclature as
stable as possible. Triton has been used in other departments
of zoology-, but so have many other generic names, which are
nevertheless accepted without question. The fact is, that prac-
tical common sense has quietly shelved the British Association
rule forbidding the use of a generic name in more than one
branch of zoology. In these days only the very few enjoying

exceptional advantages can hope to acquire a competent knowl-
edge of the names in use in a single department, and no one
possesses the time or acquaintance with general zoology which
would be necessary to avoid duplications. The alternative adop-
tion of the name Tritonium has its difficulties : it is more gener-
ally known in connection with a Buccinoid group, and it is too
close to Cuvier 's genus Tritonia.
Reeve says* : The Tritons are shells oi much more solid structure
than the Murices or Ranellae, and of much more simple growth.
They are not furnished with any spines nor have they any rami-
fied branches like the Murices ; the rude manner in which the
whorls are convoluted seem rather to indicate that their animal
inhabitant, though possessing abundant power of calcification, is
of somewhat sluggish growth. The epidermis of the Tritons is
often remarkably thick, hairy and bristly, and is sometimes
accompanied with small tufts of bristles. Another curious pecu-
liarity in these shells is the structure of the apex ; it appears in
numerous instances to be formed of horny substance, thinly
plated with shelly matter, and it is not an uncommon thing to
find examples in which the calcareous plating is broken off so as
to expose the horny cast underneath. The coluinella of the
Tritons is generally covered with a bright coat of wrinkled
enamel, and the outer lip becomes thickened in a manner exceed-
ingly curious ; upon arriving at maturity the lip curls under so
as to form a deep, broad channel or gutter, and this is then filled
up to form the thickened lip. The varices are all constructed in
the same manner, each forming for a time the margin of the
aperture ; they are destined, it is conjectured, to protect the lip
during a season of rest, and it would be extremely interesting if
it could be discovered what length of time ordinarily elapses
between the formation or deposit of the varix and the renewal
of the operation of growth.
Mr. Arthur Adainst mentions the adaptation of the Trumpet-
shell ( T. tritonis) to the purposes of a tea-kettle by the inhabitants
of the Typinsan archipelago, near the Loo-Choo Islands ; the
operculum forming the lid, the canal answering the purpose of a

spout, and the shell suspended by a wooden hook over the fire.
Mr. Adams says that this rude vessel was adopted several times
for the convenience of his party, and answered its purpose
admirably.
The species of Triton being numerous, several attempts have
been made to separate them into generic or subgeneric groups ;
the most successful being the arrangement of Messrs. H. and A.
Adams. Two of these groups, however, Simpulum and Cabestana,
are so closely related that I think Kobelt has very judiciously
united them. Priene is the connecting form approximating
Triton and Eanella ; whilst in the latter genus species of the
group Lampas recall Triton.
A very excellent catalogue of the genus has been published by
Kobelt, the arrangement of which I mainly follow ; adding, how-
ever, some additional species, making about one hundred and fifty
in all. Kobelt has monographed the genus in Kiister's Conchylien
Cabinet and there are also monographies by Reeve and Kiener
in their respective Iconographies.
Subgenera.
SIMPULUM, Klein. Shell fusiform, whorls nodosely ribbed; outer lip

outer lip dentated internally. Operculum with apical nucleus.
GUTTURNIUM, Klein. Shell pyriform, subturreted, canal long, narrow.
Operculum with submarginal initial point, near the middle of the
inner margin.
EPIDROMUS, Klein. Shell with long, generally curved spire ; aperture
small and canal very short. Operculum triangular, with submarginal
nucleus.

Usually heavier and shorter than the typical form, the whorls
with a distinct shoulder ; color within the aperture lighter.
Sicily, So. Coast of Spain, Portugal, Cape Verd Isles, West Indies.
Conrad considers this a distinct species, and Aradas and Benoit
have also described it, from the Mediterranean under the name of
T. Seguenzae (pi. 4, fig. 26) ; but the numerous specimens before
me enable me to satisfactorily connect the two forms. The hump
appears to become gradually more prominent with age, as in half
grown specimens it is not apparent either in Mediterranean or
West Indian specimens.
T. NODIFERUS, Lam. PL 1, figs. 2, 3 ; pi. 3, fig, 17 ; pi. 4, fig, 23,
AY lute, clouded and painted with reddish brown; aperture
white within ; lip margin painted with brown ; columella with
white plaits, of which the posterior one is very prominent.

aries, Natal, Mauritius, Japan, Australia, 3>?r Zealand.
T, Sauliae, Reeve (pi. 3, fig, IT), and T. australis, Lam, (pi. 4,
fig, 23), are generally considered at least varieties of this species.
but I am unable to give them any permanent differential char-
acters. The species varies in much the same manner as 2\
Tritonis in the smoothness or nodulation of surface, length of
spire, etc. It is found fossil, commencing with the miocene, at
several localities in southern Europe. The most northern
European locality is the island of Guernsey, where three living
specimens were trawled at different times between 1825 and 1832.
Madame Power found this animal capable of reproducing ampu-
tated tentacles, etc. The Sicilians and Algerians eat the mollusk
and esteem it a delicacy. At Nice, the fishermen and country
people make a hole in the apex of the spire and use the shell us
a trumpet which, Yerany remarks, produces a braying sound. It
is an indispensable instrument in the old-fashioned charivari,
which he describes as a deafening serenade to signalize the mar-
riages of ill-assorted or unpopular couples.

T. BASSI, Angas. PI. 3, fig. 20.
The revolving riblets and tube re illations appear to be propor-
tionally smaller than in the preceding species, and the denticu-
lations of the lip-margin are described and figured as " close."
The color does not differ from that of T. subdistortus, and I
think it will prove to be synonymous with that species.
Length 1,08 inch.
Busi? Straits, Australia.
T. fraterculus Dunker appears, from the description (not
figured) to be a synoirym.
T. FUSIFORMIS, Kiener. PI, 4, fig, 22.
The whorls have two or three large knobs between the varices
and the entire surface is covered with very fine, close, revolving
striae, which are composed of minute, oblong granules. Yellow-
ish brown, articulated with darker brown ; aperture white within.

Light brown, the varices and lip usually tesselated with
chocolate, the columella frequently chocolate between the
whitish plications ; within the aperture flesh color. Variable
in its proportions, the spire being sometimes short, in others
longer. Frequently, the revolving ribs are partially separated
into approximate pairs by an incised line ; sometimes they are
partiall}' broken up into revolving series of granules. When the
shell is fresh it is covered by a thin epidermis which, at frequent
intervals, develops longitudinal, reflexed ridges terminating,
upon their entire length, in long, hair-like digitations. Opercu-
lum with terminal initial point. Length, 2 to 6 inches.
Mediterranean Sea ; Atlantic Coast of Europe and Africa;
Canary and Cape Verd Isles ; St. Helena; West Indies to Brazil;
Polynesia ; Australia ; New Zealand ; Japan.
12 SIMPULUM.
The animal is of a light straw -yellow, covered with black spots,
which become distant and larger upon the head ; tentacles long
and black. The name olearium Linn, appears in the 12th edition
to apply here partially, .but it is not the olearium of the 10th
edition nor of Born nor (Imelin. It is the Mitrc.r roxtafm* of
Born (not Gmelin), and partkenopu* of von Sails. The current
identification of the Linnean name is so well established that,
however ill it may accord with tact, it seems preferable to
retain it.
T. PILEARIS, Linn. PI. (>, figs. 31-30 ; PI. 7, figs. 38-39.
Yellowish brown, with occasionally darker (and sometimes
white) revolving bands; aperture and columella orange-red to
blood-red, with white plications ; epidermis thin, hairy and
bristly, light olive color. Length, 2 to 5 inches.
Red Sea, Seychelles, Natal, China, Japan, Australia, Philippines,
Sandwich Isles, Florida, West Indies, Brazil.
Kobelt distinguishes T. Martimanus ( Veliei Calkins, fig. 36).
T. aquatilis Reeve, (fig. 34), and T. intermedium Pease, (fig 35),
as varieties ; but I cannot so regard them, as 1 find no characters
by which to separate them. T. vestitus Hinds, (figs. 38, 39),
from the west coast of Central America, has normally, a shorter
spire and more inflated body-whorl, is smoother, darker in color,
the lip and columella between the plications dark chocolate ; yet
the intermediate stages between this and the typical pilearis
make a continuous series.
T. RUBECULA. Linn. PL 7, fig. 40.
Lemon to orange color, or orange-red, with a light lemon or
white revolving band on the middle of the body whorl, and w r hite
blotches on the varices ; lip and columella same color as outer
surface, with the plications white. Length, 1 to 2 inches.
Red Sea ; Nicobar Isles ; Philippines ; Central Pacific ;
Sandwich Isles; St. Thomas, W. I.
The last locality is upon the authority of a dredged specimen
in the Swift Collection, now in the museum of the Philada.
Acad. For this specimen Morch made a variety occidentale, but
it has no distinctive characters.
SIMPULUM. 13
T. GEMMATUS, Reeve. PL 7, figs. 41-44.
Whitish to orange-yellow. Revolving ribs fewer in number
than in T. rubecula, with three revolving stride between each rib
of which the middle one is largest ; frequently laticed by longi-
tudinal ribs, and sometimes developing two or three nodules
between the varices. Length, 1 to 1-5 inches.
Ph/lippfnes to Sandwich Islands; Paumotus.
More graceful in form, Avith more rapidly accuminated spire
and longer canal, and smaller than T. rubecula ; to which?
nevertheless, it is closely allied. T. munduin Gould, (figs. 43,
44), appears to be the same species.

Spire shorter, nodules between the varices stronger.
St. Thomas, St. Croix, W. I.
Described as a distinct species but the characters by which
Morch distinguishes it are common to the type form except the
shorter spire and more rugose longitudinal ribs. Probably not
perfectly acclimated, and depauperate in consequence.

The species of this group approach more nearly to the Doliidae
in form and sculpture than any other Tritons.

Two specimens in the Swift Cabinet (Mus. Philad. Acad.). It
is possibly a variety of T. cingulatus, although much more
inflated and with shorter canal than the typical form of that
species. Very much like the genus Dolium in its general
appearance.

T. CINGULATUS, Lam. PL 8, figs. 55, 56.
Light yellowish brown, with the revolving ribs darker ; slightly
shouldered and tuberculate on the angle ; canal rather long and
recurved. Length, 2 to 2'75 inches.
Philippines; Floating dock, St. Thomas, W. I. (Swift Coll.).
T. Voigtii, Anton (fig. 56) is a synonym, according to Philippi,
who publishes the first and only illustration of that species.
T. WIEGMANNI, Anton. PI. 9. fig. 57.
Whorls decidedly shouldered, and nodulous on the angle of
the shoulder. Yellowish brown, the revolving ribs darker in
color. Length, 2*5 to 3'5 inches.
Mazatlan to Panama.
There is but little difference between this and the preceding-
species : it lias a more decided shoulder and the canal is shorter.
Should they prove identical, which is probable, the species must
be called T. cingvlatus, Lam.

16 SIMPULUM.
The epidermis differs from that of most of the Tritons in being
a thin, smooth skin. The species is found from low to deep
water. Philippi describes the animal thus : Body on the upper
part painted with irregular spots of dark purple, which are
separated by narrow white lines ; foot pale violet above, marbled
on the sides, and speckled here and there with reddish spots
which are edged with white.
T. DOLIARIUS, Linn. PL 9, fig. tiO.
Pale yellowish to brown, sometimes spotted with brown on the
ribs ; white within the aperture. Epidermis short-tufted, light
olive-brown or }^ellowish. Length, 1*25 to 1'75 inches.
Cape of Good Hope ; New South Wales, Australia.
Ranella tuberculata, Risso, is a synonym of T. cutaceus, but
the shell figured for Risso's species by Kiister in his monograph
of Purpura is a T. doliarius, t} r pical in every respect.
T. AFRICANUS, A. Ad. PL 10, fig. 73.
Red-brown, white within the aperture. Length, 2*25 inches.
Ickaboe, 8. Africa.
1 separate this from T. doliarius with considerable hesitation.
It may prove to be merely a lengthened, more solid form of that
species I have before me an example of T. doliarius which is
rather longer than usual, with the peculiar revolving sculpture
almost obsolete.
T. FOSSATUS, Gould.
Shell solid, subglobose, yellowish; spire short; whorls six, the
sutures profoundly canaliculate ; surface with two revolving ribs,
crossed by nodulous longitudinal undulations ; aperture narrow,
rounded behind; lip varicose, denticulate, sulcate within;
columella erectly sulcate, the posterior sulei larger.
Length 35, diam. 20 mill. Honkong, China.
Not figured ; said to approach T. doliarius in form and sculp-
ture, but has the sutural canal and a longer beak.
T. SPENGLERI, Lam. PL 9, fig. 61.
Yellowish brown, the incised revolving lines chestnut-brown ;
all the ribs crossed by longitudinal striae, cutting their surface
into bead-like nodules ; white within the aperture.
Length, 3'5 to 5 inches. & Australia; Chnth-am Islands.
The epidermis is thin, smooth, yellowish olive.

8. Australia.
The spire is proportionally shorter, the shoulder of the whorls
not so well marked ; whorls more rounded than in last species.
Epidermis squamately pilose.
T. BOLTENIANUS, A. Ad.
Allied to T. Spengleri, but smaller, more ponderous, and
without varices. The j^oung shells are peculiarly inflated, and
banded inside with dark purple ridges. Length, 2 inches.
Not figured. I have not seen it.
T. BARTHELEMYI, Bernardi. PL 10, fig. 69.
Yellowish white, the transverse grooves darker; brownish
within the aperture. Length, 5-5 inches.
S. Australia, among rocks at low tide.
Evidently very closely allied to T. Spengleri, of which it will
very probably prove to be an overgrown form, living amidst
uncongenial surroundings.
T. LABIOSUS, Wood. PL 9, figs. 64-68.
Shouldered ; encircled by revolving ribs, each of which is
bi-sulcate, so as to divide the rib into three ; decussated by
almost equally strong longitudinal costae ; canal usually short.
Yellowish to dark chestnut-brown, sometimes light-banded ;
aperture and columella white. Length, 1 inch.
Japan, Philippines, Mauritius, Australia, West Indies.
The numerous specimens before me, from various West Indian
localities, are not distinguishable from Australian examples. T.
Loroisii, Petit (fig. 66), has no distinctive characters. T.
Strangei, A. Ad. and Ang. (fig. 6T), from Australia, has less
shoulder and longer canal than the typical form, but I have
before me a West Indian specimen which closely mimics the
figure of that species. T. orientalis, Nevill (fig. 68), from the
Indian Ocean, has a somewhat longer canal, but does not other-
wise differ from the typical labiosus. These may be considered
varieties by those who are fond of minute distinctions.

18 CYMATIUM.
T. DORSUOSUS, A. Ad.
A Japanese species, not yet figured. No dimensions given.
Assigned by the author to this group. The Latin diagnosis, as
usual, is worthless for the purpose of identification. It is simply
the cabalistic ceremonial through which Mr, Adams becomes
invested with the title to a specific name ; it does not and cannot,
and perhaps never was intended, to define his property with
sufficient accuracy to prevent trespass on his rights by others ;
therefore it becomes a trap for the unwary and ambitious. On
the other hand the indefiniteness of the usual diagnosis permits
its author the greatest latitude in shifting its object from species
to species ; or, if he is enterprising, in capturing some of the
species diagnosed at a later date b}' his brother conchologists.
As a rule, I will not attempt to identify unfigured species, and
would like to exterminate all such descriptions and names for
the benefit of science.
Submenus Cymatium, (Bjlten) Adams.
This group is well distinguished by the trigonal form of the
shell of the typical species, large varices and nodules. Opercu-
lum with initial point at its apex.
T. FEMORALE, Linn, PI, 10. fig. 70.
Yellowish brown ; the principal revolving ribs white where
they cross the varices ; aperture white, light purplish or roseate
within. Length, 3 to 7 inches. West India Islands.
Reeve mentions that the varices of this species suggested the
gadroon border used by silversmiths for the decoration of plate.
The epidermis is very thin, somewhat bristly. The initial point
of the operculum is apical.
T. TIGRINUS, Brod. PL 10, fig. 71, 72.
Yellowish brown, tinged more or less with dark brown between
the revolving ribs. Length, 4*5 to 6*5 inches.
W. Co. Central America; II fathoms in sandy mud.
A wider, smoother species than the preceding, with simpler
sculpture. . .When full-grown, the outer lip spreads out, making
the body whorl very wide.
T. J^anzarm, Bianconi (fig. 71) from Mozambique, E. coast of
Africa, appears to be the same species.
GUTTURNIUM. 19
T. LOTORIUM, Linn. PL 11, figs. 78, 79 ; pi. 10, fig. 76.
Orange-brown ; the principal revolving ribs yellowish white
upon the varices, where the interstices become intensified to a
dark chestnut color ; aperture white or blush color, the teeth of
the outer lip varying from orange to chocolate, with blotches of
the same on the columella. Length, 3'5 to 4*5 inches.
Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Philippines, Central Polynesia.
T. grandimaculatus, Reeve (fig. 76) belongs here; the distinc-
tive characters are individual only.
T. PYRUM, Linn. PL 10, fig. 74.
Orange color ; usually lighter within the aperture ; the teeth of
the lip and columella nearly white. Length, 3 to 4 inches.
Indian Ocean ; Madagascar ; Isle of Ticao, Philippines,
under stones at low water.
T. DUNKERT, Lischke. PL 11, fig. 82.
White or yellowish, more or less irregularly variegated with
brown; aperture, columella and lip-teeth white. Length 3*75 in.
Japan.
Very like T. pyrum in form, but thinner ; the longitudinal
nodules between the varices are much smaller, more continuous
and more numerous, being seven or eight in number ; whilst in
pyrum they are five ; the coloring also, is different.
T. MUNSTERI, Anton.
Described as a species of the lotorium group. It has never
been figured nor identified.
Subgenus Gutturnium, Adams.
The shells of this group possess a peculiar polished, porcel-
laneous outer and inner lip, the latter reflected over the coluraella,
together with a short, rounded pyriform body and lengthened,
narrow, more or less twisted canal. Operculum with initial point
submarginal, near the middle of the inner margin.
T. CYNOCEPHALUS, Lam. PL 11, figs. 80, 81 ; pi. 15, fig. 152.
Light yellowish or orange, smetimes with deeper indefinate
bands ; aperture yellowish white ; columella, especially the upper
portion, with a brown patch. Length 2*25 to 3 inches.
West Indies ; Philippines, 6 fathoms in coral sand.
Occasionally the longitudinal disposition of the tubercles pre-
vails over the transverse, in which state the species has been
re-described by Reeve as T. moritinctus (fig. 81). This, and
intermediate forms are found in West Indian, as well as in Phil-
ippine Islands specimens.
T. SARCOSTOMA, Reeve. PI. 10, fig 75.
Intervariceal ribs not so numerous, and more prominent than
than in the preceding species. Yellowish brown. Lip tinged with
orange ; columella without the brown markings of T. cynoceph-
alus. Length 2'5 inches.
On the reefs, Isle of Ticao, Philippines.
I admit this as a distinct species with some hesitation, as the
growth of one rib or nodule at the expense of two smaller ones is
not unusual in this and allied genera.
T. TRILINEATUS, Reeve. PL 10, fig. 77 ; pi. 11. fig. 87.
Longitudinal ribs distant, less prominent than the revolving
series ; shoulder of the whorls obtuse, defined by tubercles ;
body whorl a little attenuated below. Yellowish brown, whitish
on the prominent nodes and revolving ribs ; aperture white,
columella brown stained. Length 3 inches.
Red Sea, Philippines, China.
Mr. Reeve distinguishes his T. degrotus (fig. 87), from this
species by the less developed tubercles on the shoulder, and by
its having a varix on the back of the penultimate whorl : neither
of which distinctions holds good. I consider it a synonym.
T. TESTUDINARIUS, Ad. & Reeve. PL 11, fig. 84.
The longitudinal ribs are more developed than the revolving
ones, so that the shoulder of the whorls is less defined by
tubercles ; the canal is also longer than in trilineatus ; which it
greatly resembles.
Chinese Sea.
T. SINENSIS, Reeve. PL 11, fig. 85.
White, more or less stained with pale yellow.
Length, 3*5 inches.
Chinese Sea.

T. CLAVATOR, Lam. PI. 11. fig. 86.
Whitish, varices more or less stained with brown ; columella,
and inner margin of lip orange. Epidermis bristly tufted on the
ribs. Length, 2-5 inches.
Isle of Burias, Philippines; sandy mud, seven fathoms. Cuming.
T. GALLINAGO, Reeve. PI*. 11, fig. 89.
White, more or less stained with yellow on the varices.
Length, 2- 4 inches.
Isle of Mindanao, Philippines ; sandy mud at 20 fathoms. Cumiug.
More boldly sculptured, and with shorter canal than
T. Sinensis ; of which it may prove to be a variety.
T. EXILIS, Reeve. PI. 11, fig. 88.
Differs from T. clavator in having no varix on the penultimate
whorl, in the white aperture, the surface vividly stained with
orange-brown, and especially in the well-developed nodulous ribs.
Length, 2'5 inches.
Isle of Zebu, Philippines ; in sandy mud, 10 fathoms. Cuming.
T. PACHYCHEILOS, Tapparone-Canefri.
Differs from T. exilis, Reeve, in the columella being destitute
of prominent rugose plications, in the less developed tubercles
and canaliculate suture. White, variegated with orange, and
obscurely doubly zoned with brown ; varices two, maculated
with dark brown ; aperture white, lip with seven large teeth.
Length, 55 mill.
Mauritius.
This species has not yet been figured.
T. MONILIFER, Ad. & Reeve. PL 11, fig. 90.
White, variegated with chestnut ; lip and columella white.
Length, 2 inches. Chinese Sea.
The figure indicates a canaliculate suture, but it is not men-
tioned in the description. Possibly the preceding species is
identical with this.
T. CAUDATUS, Gmel. PI. 12, fig. 92.
A white shell, identical in sculpture and general appearance with
T. Sinensis, except that the spire is more depressed, the whorls
arising from deeply grooved sutures. Length, 3 inches.
Chinese Sea.
22 GUTTURNIUM.
T. TRIPUS, Lam. PI. 12, fig. 93.
Pale yellowish brown, lighter colored on the revolving ribs;
white or pale blush within the aperture. Length, 2 to 3 inches.
Indian Ocean, China.
Like T. caudatus, this species has canaliculate sutures.
T. VESPACEUS, Lam. PL 12, figs; 94-100.
Very, finely granulated ; dorsal tubercles large, .giving the
shell a somewhat hump-backed appearance. Yellowish white,
marbled and banded with brown. Length, 1-5 inches.
Australia, Viti Isles, Sandwich Isles. (Pease). West Indies. (Swift).
The above localities are all authentic. The typical full-grown
shell is that described by Reeve as T. Thersites (figs. 99, 100), a
forin occurring both in the West Indian and Polynesian localities.
T. vespaceus was described from a smaller, though perhaps full-
grown shell, probably a more stunted growth. T. elongatus ( fig. 96) .
and T. gracilis (fig. 9T), of Reeve, are of somewhat more graceful
form and have a longer canal ; the latter is represented in the
collection of the Philada. Academy by specimens from St. Croix,
W; I., and from the Yiti Isles.
T. TENUILIRATUS, Lischke. PL 42, fig. 105.
Shell varying from light to dark brown, white within the
aperture. Yarices four; whorls nine, of which the first four
are embryonal and small. Length, 40 mill.
Japan; Sandwicli Isles, ( W. H. Pease).
I copy the figure of Dr. Lischke, which represents the unique
and decidedly imperfect specimen from which he described his
species.
T. AMICTUS, Reeve. PL 40, fig. 188.
Whitish, with a soft, sparingly bristled epidermis.
Length, 1'4 inohes Philippines.
I do not know the species. The figure somewhat resembles
Eupleura caudata.
T. EXARATUS, Reeve. PL 12, figs. 102, 104.
Shell with two varices ; the whorls flat shouldered ; revolving
ridges duplicate. Whitish, variegated or banded with brown, or
brown with a white median band. Length, I't5 inches.
Australia.
GUTTURNITJM. 23
Has fewer varices, and the shoulder angle is not so gibbously
nodulose as in the next species; yet I suspect them to be
identical.
T. GIBBOSUS, Brod. PL 12, figs. 101, 103.
Shell with four varices ; gibbous ; strongly tuberculated on
the margin of the flat shoulders ; spire scalariform ; surface
closely covered with chain-like minute tuberculations. Yellowish
brown. Length, 2*5 inches.
Panama; Monte Christi, W. Columbia, 7 fathoms, coarse sand.
T. LOBBECKEI, Lischke. PL 12, fig. 106.
Very closely allied in general appearance, with T. exaratus
Reeve, but the whorls are rounder, with shorter spire and canal ;
shoulder more rounded ; spiral striae finer ; ribs between the
varices obsolete. Length, 1/5 inches.
Japan.
T. PFEIFFERIANUS, Reeve. PL 13, fig. 107.
Yellowish white, wHh irregular darker bands ; whitish within
the aperture. Length, 2*5-3 inches.
Philippines.
T. RETUSUS, Lam. PL 13, fig. 108.
Yellowish-brown, sometimes maculated or banded with darker
brown ; aperture white within. Length, 2 to 2-5 inches.
Indian Ocean, Mauritius.
T. PYRULUM, Ad. & Reeve. PL 13, fig. 109.
Light yellowish brown. Length, 1*75 inches.
East Indies.
T. ENCAUSTICUS, Reeve. PL 13, fig. 110.
Light yellowish brown. When adult, the columella and lip
are thickly enamelled, pale orange-brown. Length, 1'75 inches.
/. Ticao, Philippines ; on the reefs.
T. TUBEROSUS, Lam. PL 13, figs. 111-113.
Light to dark brown, the ribs and tubercles lighter or whitish,
with sometimes, a median white band. Lip and columella thickly
enamelled, white or yellowish ; interior of aperture orange red.
Operculum with terminal nucleus. Length, 1*5 to 2*5 inches.
West Indies, Indo-Pacific 0., Mauritius, Polynesia.
24 GUTTURNIUM.
Several authors hare separated the West Indian and exotic
specimens of this most common of Tritons, upon differences
which are purely assumptions the variations in coloration,
length of canal etc. pervading specimens from either of the
localities.
T. MAURITIANUS, Tapparone-Canefri.
. Said to resemble T. tuberosus, but smaller, with diifereiitly
shaped and ornamented mouth ; shorter canal ; smaller number
of varices ; and light color. Length, 32 mill.
Mauritius.
Not figured. It is very doubtful whether the species is a valid
one; very probably it is one of the numerous variations of
T. tuber osus.
T. OBISPUS, Reeve. PL 13, fig. 114.
Whitish or yellowish ; lip and columella covered with white
enamel ; aperture blush or yellowish within. Length, "75 inch.
Hab. unknown.
Has the appearance of a short, stout, miniature tuberosus.
T. QUOYI, Reeve. PI. 13, fig. 116.
Varices four or five ; whorls closely decussated, and nodulous
at the crossings of the riblets. Orange-brown.
Length, 1*25 inches.
Australia.
This is the T. viperinum of Kiener, not Lamark the latter
being a distinct fossil form. T. eburneus, Reeve is closely allied,
but may be distinguished by its shorter and more obtuse spire.
T. EBURNEUS, Reeve. PI. 13, fig. 115.
Closely decussated ; varices four ; white. Length, -75 inch.
Isle of Ticao, Philippines ; under stones at low water.
T. VERRTJCOSUS, Reeve. PI. 13, fig. 117.
Yarices four or five ; whorls decussated and roughly nodulous.
Orange-brown ; lower portion of body whorl sometimes articu-
lated with darker brown ; aperture white within.
Length, -85 inch.
Australia ; Jamaica (one specimen, R. Swift).
EPIDROMUS. 25
*** Cumia.
T. CONVOLUTUS, Brod. PI. 13, fig. 118.
White ; whorls encircled by sharp, close revolving ridges.
Length, 1*25 to 2 inches.
Marquesas (7 to 10 fathoms, sandy mud); New Guinea,
(22 fathoms soft mud); Philippines.
T. SCALARIFORMIS, Brod. PI. 13, fig. 119.
White ; with sharp, close-set revolving ribs, crossed by slighter
longitudinal ribs. Length, -80 to 1-60 inches.
Panama.
Although the specimen figured shows sufficient distinction, I
have individuals of intermediate character before me which ren-
der the separation of this and the last species somewhat doubtful.
Typicalty, the position of the varices is different, and the decus-
sated striae of T. Scalariformis are coarser.
T. SPECIOSA, Angas. PI. 13, fig. 120.
Shell with from 20 to 22 conspicuous, erect, rounded varices ;
yellowish white, with sometimes a pale chestnut, narrow band ;
with alternately larger and smaller concentric ridges, decussated
by sharp, raised striae into bead-like nodules ; aperture white
within.
Port Jackson, Australia; at very low spring tides.
The number of varices suggests the genus Trophon. I have
not seen the species.
Subgenus Epidromus, (Klein) Adams.
T. MACULOSUS, Grmelin. PI. 14, fig. 121.
White, shaded and spotted with chestnut-brown ; aperture and
columella white. Length, 3 inches.
Mauritius, Philippines, Amboina, Red Sea.
T. TENERUS, Gray.
" Shell ovate, turreted, thin, pale, fulvous, pellucid, cancellated,
with equalty fine longitudinal and spiral ridges ; spire attenuated,
longer than the mouth ; whorls'rounded ; varices rounded ; can-
cellated, with two brown spots. Mouth ovate, oblong ; outer lip
crenulated ; throat smooth ; inner lip thickened ; smooth, elevated,
canal short, perforated in front. Axis, 3*5 inches.
26 EPIDROMUS.
"Allied to T. maculosus, but thinner and cancellated." The
above is the original description, and the species has not been
figured nor recognized. Very probably it is founded on a thin
specimen of T. maculosus.
T. SOWERBYI, Reeve. PI. 14, fig. 122.
Shell encircled by brown, excavated lines, in pairs. Orange-
brown, variegated with brown and ornamented with two distant
rows of square brown spots. Length, 2*5 to 3 inches.
Galapagos Isles, in sandy mud at six fathoms (Cuming) ; Red Sea,
(Mac Andrew, Tapparone-Canefri) ; Me of France (Chemnitz).
Said to live in the Red Sea at a less depth than T. maculosus ;
from 10 to 11 metres.
T. CLATHRATUS, Sowb. PI. 14, figs. 123, 124, 129.
Whorls well-rounded, rapidly increasing, so as to form a stout,
heavy shell, with small mouth and broad lip-varix. Covered with
strong, sharp-set longitudinal ribs which are fimbriated by the
crossing of revolving lines. Yellowish white, mottled with
orange-brown. Length, 1'5 inches.
Indian Ocean.
The coarse, prominent sculpture, rounded whorls, and stout
form distinguish this species. T. Gumingii, Dohrn (fig. 129), is
described from an unusually stout specimen.
T. DISTORTUS, Schubert & Wagner. PI. 14, figs. 125, 126.
Light yellowish brown, clouded with chestnut, with frequently,
a median row of chestnut spots. Length, 1'25 to 2'5 inches.
Indo-Pacific Ocean. Polynesia.
This species is readily distinguished by its curved spire, which
is caused by the single varices of each whorl occurring in a con-
tinuous oblique line. The animal is pale flesh-color with a fawn-
colored head, and tentacles annulated with fawn-color. 7.
tortuosus, Reeve (fig. 126), cannot be considered even a variety.
T. OBSCURUS, Reeve. PL 14, figs. 127, 128 ; PL 16, fig. 151.
Light brown, clouded with chestnut, with one or two revolving
series of chestnut spots. Length, 1*5 to 2*25 inches.
Indian Ocean ; Paumotus, West Indies, Cape Verd Is.
EPIDROMUS, 27
In sculpture this species resembles T, distortus, but it is dis-
tinguished by the straight spire, the varices far apart instead of
in a continuous oblique series, and the revolving spots.
T. testaceous, Morch (fig. 128), does not appear to differ in
any appreciable degree from the type; it is the West Indian
manifestation of the species. T. comptus, Sowb. (fig. 151), from
China, is certainly the same species.
T. NITIDULUS, Sowb. PL 14, figs. 130-132.
Whorls smooth, polished, sometimes obsoletely granulated.
Light brown, belted and spotted with darker brown, sometimes
with longitudinal flame-like markings, sometimes with a white
median band. Yarices twelve or fourteen, usually maculated
with brown. Length, 1 to T75 inches.
Paumotus, Central Polynesia.
Var. CEYLONENSIS, Sowb. PI. 14, fig. 131.
Decussating ribs mcire prominent, giving the surface a closely
granulated ornamentation.
Polynesia, New South Wales, Ceylon.
In both forms the granules are equally prominent upon the
upper whorls of the spire, but in the smoother T. nitidulus this
nodulation is finally covered by or lost in a smooth enamelled
surface. T. Brazieri, Angas (fig. 132), inhabiting the coast of
New South Wales offers no important differential characters.
The lip and columella of the specimen described are tinged with
orange color. *

T. RETICULATUS, Blainv. PL 16, figs. 160, 161.
Light brown, variously stained or banded with darker brown,
sometimes uniform dark brown. Length, 1 inch.
Mediterranean Sea.
T. pygmseus, Reeve (fig. 161), does not differ. The Galapagos
Islands are given by Reeve as a locality for T. reticulatuSj but
there is no subsequent confirmatory information.
T. LANCEOLATUS, Menke. PL 16, fig. 162.
Yellowish white or flesh-color, more or less clouded and spotted
with brown ; varices eight or nine, bearing brown spots.
Length, 1 inch.
West Indies, under stones and pieces of coral,
in one or two feet water.
28 EPIDEOMUS.
T. SIPHONATTIS, Reeve. PI. 15, fig. 133.
" Chiefly distinguished by its anterior extension." The figure
shows evidences of juvenility, in the small development of the
columellar lip. I think it will prove to be a young T. lanceolatus.
Habitat unknown.

Whitish, with occasional brown spots on the varices.
Length, **75 inch.
New Ireland, Viti Islands.

Whorls with three revolving rows of brown dots on a light
brown surface ; body- whorl blotched and finely dotted.
Length 1 inch.
New South Wales, Australia.
Will probably prove to be a variety of T. antiquatus.
T. SCULPTILIS, Reeve. PL 15, fig. 135.
White, with a median brown band ; the. interstices of the longi-
tudinal ribs upon the shoulder of the whorls are sometimes
colored brown. Length, 1 to 1*15 inches.
Viti Isles ; Mascarenes ; Isle of Capul, Philippines,
under stones at low water.
T. EXIMIUS, Reeve. PI. 15, fig. 136.
White, sometimes obscurely banded or mottled with light
brown. Length, -55 inch.
Mascarenes, Philippines, Lord Hood's Isl., West Indies.
T. parvus, C. B. Ad., from the Caribbean region does not
differ in any respect from Pacific specimens.
T. DECOLLATUS, Sowerby. PI. 15, fig. 13T.
Whorls transversely grooved, grooves dark brown; surface
yellowish, clouded with brown. Length, 1 inch.
Is I. of Annaa ; found on the reefs.

Orange-yellow, with generally, two white bands, and large
brown spots disposed in revolving rows. Length, -T5 inch.
Isl. Bohol, Philippines, under stones at low water ;

Yellowish white, ornamented with longitudinal blotches of
dark reddish brown, regularly disposed, usually oblique on last
whorl. Length, 10 mill.
Tahiti.
T. DECAPITATUS, Reeve. PL 15, fig. 140.
Whorls slightly, longitudinally ribbed, and closely concentric-
ally striate. Yellowish, longitudinally flamed with brown, with
two narrow yellow bands on the last whorl and one on the spiral
whorl. Length, *66 inch.
Kingsmill and Viti Isles.
T. BRACTEATUS, Hinds. PL 15, figs. 141, 148, 149.
Yellowish white, tubercles tipped with dark brown, frequently
disposed as revolving rows of spots. Length, -40 to '60 inch.
Philippines, Marquesas, Sandwich Isles, Red Sea.
The old shells are frequently devoid of color, and whilst the
longitudinal ribs remain, the revolving stria? and tubercles disap-
pear ; in this state the species has been redescribed by Reeve as
T. latevaricosus (fig. 148).
T. bacillum, Reeve (fig. 149), is apparently founded upon a
white specimen of bracteatus in a somewhat worn condition ; the
prominent varices on either side of the body-whorl mentioned by
him are equally characteristic of bracteatus, and the additional
spire varices of the latter are obsolete in some specimens.
T. DIGITALIS, Reeve. PL 15, figs. 142, 143.
White or light yellowish brown, with sometimes, faint brown
revolving bands. Length, 15 mill.
Philippines, Mauritius, Viti Isles.
The spire is not so turriculate, the whorls without the shoulder ;
the sculpture finer than in T. bracteatus, Hinds.
T. CONCINNUS, Reeve. PL 15, figs. 144, 145.
Shell decussately striated, the longitudinal striae rib-like on the
spire and sometimes on the bodj^-whorl. White or yellowish,
with flame-like brown markings and clouds, which are sometimes
subsutural, sometimes covering the entire surface, and occasion-
ally modified into large spots. Length, -66 inch.
Philippines, under stones at low water.,
30 EPIDROMUS.
The sculpture is variable ; in some specimens the longitudinal
ribs are well developed, in others these are subordinated to the
close revolving striae. I unite with this species T. tessellatus,
Reeve^ (fig. 145), the coloring and sculpture of which are not per-
manently distinctive.
T. ANGULATUS, Reeve. PL 15, figs. 146, 147.
Yellowish white, sometimes with narrow brown bands.
Length, *5 inch.
Philippines, under stones at low water.
There is nothing but the slight shoulder on the whorls to dis-
tinguish this from T. concinnus.
T. FICTILIS, Hinds. PI. 15, fig. 150.
Yarices three, whorls longitudinally obliquely ribbed, and
transversely finely striated. Brown. Smooth within the small
aperture. Length, *75 inch.
ISAgulhas lank, Gape of Good Hope, 50 to 60 fathoms. Hinds.
I am not acquainted with this species.
T. PICTUS, Reeve. PL 15, fig. 154.
No varices. Longitudinally very closely ribbed, transversely
elevately striated. Tessellated with reddish brown.
Length, -7 inch.
Galapagos Is., under stones at low water.
I do not know this species, but the figure is singularly like a
narrow form of Columbella varia, Sowerby.
T. CREBRISTRIATUS, Carpenter.
Shell like T. pictus. Reeve, but closely spirally striate ; white,
densely maculated with reddish chestnut; aperture scarcely
varicose, simple within. Length, -58 inch.
Bay of Panama.
Is destitute of the expressed spiral ribs of T. pictus. The
only specimen seen has no teeth in the aperture. It may be only
on the verge of maturity, or it may belong to a Buccinoid genus.
The above is a copy of the original description which is
worthless, as very probably is also the species. It maj r not
really differ from T. pictus, or it may well be a young Columbella
varia.
EPIDROMUS.
T. ANOMALUS, Hinds. PI. 16, fig. 163.
Yellowish brown, with narrow, darker bands.
Length, 15 mill.
Isl. of Quibo, Veragua ; found on the sandy shore at low water.
More ventricose than T. pictus, and the ribs more distant.
T. RETICOSUS, A. Adams. PI. 16, fig. 155.
White, distantly maculate with brown ; whorls seven, covered
with rounded longitudinal plications, crossed by revolving lirse ;
lip lirate within ; no varices except that of the lip.
Length, '5 inch.
Japan.
Something like a Phos, and therefore a doubtful Epidromus.
The species has not been illustrated heretofore ; I give a figure
from a specimen forming part of Adams? original lot.
T. PUSILLUS, Pease. PI. 16, fig. 156.
Whorls six, non-varicose, plicately ribbed longitudinally and
spirally striated ; columella arcuate posteriorly, callous, smooth ;
outer lip denticulate. White, with irregular brown spots or
flammules, longitudinally disposed, interrupted in the centre of
each whorl by a narrow transverse white line. Length, -25 inch.
Sandwich Islands.
Figured from a typical example in Coll. Acad. Phila.
T. SWIFTI, Tryon. PI. 16, fig. 158.
Whorls eight, convex, without varices ; covered with longitu-
dinal rounded ribs, crossed by close revolving striae. White,
maculate with brown. Length 17, diam. 6 mill.
Isl. of Antigua, W. I. (R. Swift).
Differs from the related species by its narrow form, elongated
sharp spire, small aperture, etc.
Unfigured and Doubtful Species.
I can only insert the descriptions of the following species, with
which I am not otherwise acquainted.
T. LINEOLATUS, Conrad. PI. 16, fig. 159.
Elevated, with brown revolving Hues ; spire scalariform ; with
numerous varices or costse on the body-whorl ; they are generally
32 EPIDROMUS.
smaller, and crenulate the revolving lines ; labrum with four
teeth within. Length, -9 mill.
Tampa Bay, Florida.
I copy Conrad's figure, which is utterly unrecognizable ; very
probably the shell is an Engina or Columbella.
T. BEDNALLI, Brazier.
Shell elongately turreted, thickish, with six rather indistinct
rounded elongated varices, spire straight, apex acute, whorls
eight, convex, sculptured with regular close-set longitudinal ribs
and transversely striated ; ribs noduled at the suture, white,
sometimes brown; aperture ovate-oblong, smooth within ; colu-
mella arcuate, smooth, straight, outer lip thickened, white.
Length 11, breadth 3'75 lines.
Guichen Bay, S. Australia.
Approaches near to Epidromus Brazieri, Angas, and E. Coxi,
Brazier.
T. LIMBATUM, Phil.
Quoted in H. & A. Adams' Genera. I am unable to find any
description of it.
T. PAPILLATUS, D unker.
Shell small, subulately turreted, white ; whorls seven, rounded ;
suture profound, subcanaliculate ; closely longitudinally plicate,
varicose, transversely striate, the last whorl a little smaller than
the spire; aperture ovate, columellar lamina much expanded,
canal short, recurved. Length 8 mill, lat. 3 mill.
Viti Islands,
T. ANGASI, Brazier.
Fusiform, turreted, thin, with eight distinct rounded varices ;
spire slightly twisted in the centre, apex obtuse, whorls seven,
slightly convex, sculptured with longitudinal fine ribs, transversely
lined, interstices with very minute striae, suture rather deep,crenu-
lated at the edge ; whitish, besprinkled with chestnut-brown spots,
a blotch of the same color somewhat square in front of the varices;
the back of the last whorl showing more of the irregular, nearly
obsolete brown spots ; columella straight, thickened with a white,
expanded callus, smooth, outer lip thin at its edge, thickened

behind, minutely denticulated within ; aperture oblong-ovate,
white within ; canal very short, recurved.
Length 10, breadth 3 lines.
Torres Straits, Australia.
It differs from Epidromus Coxi by having coarser sculpture,
varices larger, more distorted at the third and fourth whorl from
the aperture by one slightly bulging to the right, and the other
to the left ; the outer lip thin at the edge, very much thickened
behind and more strongly crenulated at the suture.
T. GLADIOLUS, Monterosato.
A small flattened species, with dichotomous varices like the
true Ranellse, the canal short, recurved, the mouth rounded, the
whole shell lance-shaped, without sculpture, white.
Length 12, diam. 5 mill.
Alexandria, Egypt.
This species has not } r et been figured. The description would
not be unlike a worn specimen of Ranella pusilla, Brod., which
is recorded from the Red Sea.

Subgenus Priene, H. & A. Adams.
This small group contains shells of comparatively large size,
thin, cancellate, white without any bands or spots of color, usually
more or less covered by an epidermis ; the operculum has a
terminal initial point. The species inhabit a somewhat limited
region, the West Coasts of South and North America, one of
them recurring on the Japanese coast. The rarity of varices
and general appearance of these shells indicate a passage into
the Fusidae, whilst they appear to connect more remotely with
the argus group of Ranella and with Buccinvm.

34 PRTENE.
T. CANCELLATUS, Lam. PL 16, figs. 164-167 ; pi. 17, figs. 170-172.
Varying from cancellated to coarsely decussated surface, in
the latter the intersections of the longitudinal and revolving striae
frequently rounded nodulous. The epidermal fringe upon the
nodules is sometimes half an inch in length.
Length, 3 to 4-5 inches.
Straits of Magellan, Chili, Oregon, Alaska, Japan.
I agree with P. P. Carpenter that T. Oregonensis, Red field
(fig. 167), is synonymous with this species ; the want of the ridge
upon the upper part of the columella by which Mr. Redfield dis-
tinguishes his species, being in consequence of the juvenility of
his type specimen. The variation in the sculpture which, in his
type, may have supported the view of specific distinction, includes
every intermediate stage in specimens before me, and in some of
them, a portion of the shell is rudely cancellated whilst another
portion is smoother and more finely decussated. The northern
distribution of T cancellatus is undoubted, but its occurrence
upon the southern coast of South America is not so certain,
although probable.
The male (figs. 171, 172). and female (fig. 170). of this species
are, according to Gould, distinguished by their coloration ; the
shells also differ somewhat in form.
T. SCABER, King. PI. 16, fig. 168.
Varies like T. cancellatus in the closeness and prominence of
its sculpture. The internally toothed lip and closely bristled,
persistent epidermis are quite characteristic of the species.
Length, 1'5 to 2*25 inches.
Valparaiso, (7 to 45 fathoms) northwards to the coast of
Bolivia ; Arctic America to California.

D. ANUS, Linn. PI. It, figs. 173, 174 ; pi. 15, fig. 153.
White, with reddish brown bands : colnmellar plate and lip
flesh white. Length, 2 to 3 inches.
Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Philippines, Society islands,

The operculum (fig. 174) is curiously modified in form to suit
the contracted aperture of the shell, with central nucleus.
D. CANCELLINUS, Roissy. PI. 17, figs. 175-178.
Yellowish brown, without bands ; spire and canal proportion-
ally longer than in D. anus; surface peculiarly divided into
squares by the distant, decussating narrow ribs ; epidermis light
brown, velvety ; coluuiellar plate and lip varying from very light
to dark salmon color* Length, 1*75 to 3 inches.
Ceylon ; China ; Philippines, in coral sand, 6 fathoms (Cuming) ;

America, as well as D. ridens (fig. 177) and D. decipiens Reeve
(fig, 178), from the Philippine Islands have no claim to rank even
as varieties.
D. PUSILLA, Pease.
Shell solid, oblong ovate, gibbous, somewhat distorted, four or
five varices ; whorls beautifully latticed, with rather coarse gran-
ular raised ridges and fine microscopic spiral striae ; aperture
small, narrow ; outer lip thick, strongly dentated on inner edge,
sinuatecl above ; columella deeply excavated and plicately toothed ;
canal short.
Only a single specimen has been found, too much faded to
determine its color. It is pale yellow, with faint traces of brown.
The above is the original description in full ; it does not give
any characters not possessed by D. cancellinus.
36 RANELLA.
Genus RANELLA, Lain.
In Eanella the tentacles are commonly somewhat closer together
than in Triton, and the head is longer and narrower than in
Murex and Fusus ; the eyes in some species are nearly basal, but
are generally placed about the middle of the tentacles on their outer
sides ; the siphon is short and directed upwards ; the foot larger
than in Triton, Murex, or Fusus, and considerably dilated both
before and behind ; the mantle does not appear to be furnished
with limbriated processes as seen in some Murices. In some
species the trunk is enormously developed, whilst in others it is
not protruded, in the usual condition of the animal. Operculum
ovate, horny, with a lateral nucleus and semicircular elements.*
The species are inhabitants of warm seas, and principally trop-
ical : those of the typical group, having winged varices live in
deep water, whilst the nodose species forming the sub-genus
Lampas, are found at less depth, and prefer coral reefs and rocks.
The animal is active in its movements. Eupleura, formerly con-
sidered a subgeneric group of Eanella, is now classed with Muri-
cinse, on account of the lingual dentition of one of its species.f
I have retained the generic name Eanella in preference to Bursa,
Gyrinium, Bufo, Rana, etc., all of which have priority, but were
obscurely published and have never attained general acceptance.
Mr. Macdonald J thus describes the larval state of Ranella :
" I next observed a stout little shell, much resembling a Mac-
yillivrayia in form, but having the spire more minute and sharply
marked, and the whorls beset with epidermic spines, disposed in
close spiral lines. The microscopic examination of the animal
gave unmistakable proof of its being a Ranella, the lingual den-
tition agreeing, at least generically, with my figures and speci-
mens. On examining the operculum, which in Ranella, is so
very remarkable, exhibiting three successive stages of growth,
I found that it was quite of the same character, Only that it had
but yet attained the second stage, Finally, on comparing the
whole operculum, and the little shell respectively, with the nu-
cleus of the operculum and the apex of the shell of an adult

RANELLA. 37
Ranella, I could detect no points of difference, even with mag-
nifying powers ; the conclusion, therefore, is irresistable,that the
one is but the young state of the other."
Subgenera.
LAMPAS, Schum. Shell turreted ; whorls nodose ; aperture with posterior
channel ; canal very short and recurved.

Very closely allied to JR. crumena, with which it has been
confounded : the only differences are the color of the margins of
the aperture, the greater extension of the superior sinus-foliation,
and more distinct wrinkles of the inner lip. It may be only a
varietal form of JR. crumena.

The smooth form (fig. 15) is t3^pical ; the granulate shell has
been called by Sowerby, R. albifasciata (fig, 9), and may retain
its name as a variety.
R. CRASSA, Dillw. PI. 19, fig. 10.
Yellowish brown, irregularly banded with white and chestnut ;
lip and columella usually tinged with yellow. Shell thick ; sur-
face obsoletely or distinctly granulate, with frequently one or

The most ponderous species of the genus. The half-grown
shell, when 3 to 5 inches long, is quite thick and already pos-
sesses adult characters ; it is more highly colored than the larger
specimens.

with the lip-margin and interior more deepty yellow stained.
R.asperrima (fig. 29), and Grayana, Dunker (fig. 28), are synon-
ymous.
Var. VENUSTULA, Reeve, PI. 20, fig. 13.
Lip and columella stained with very dark purple ; aperture
roseate within. R. siphonata, Reeve, (PL 19, fig. 11), is a
synonym.
R. CRUENTATA, Sowb. PL 21, figs. 24-27, 30, 31.
Light yellowish or brownish white, the principal tubercles
frequently maculated with red ; white or rosy within the aper-
ture, columella sometimes with dark red spots.
Length. '15 to 1-5 inches.
Mauritius, Philippines, West Indies.
The spots on the columella are not always present in the Phil-
ippine specimens constituting the type form, and are not found
in the variety. This species is very closely related to R. bufo-
nia, but is uniformlj* much smaller and the siphon is not con-
tinued up the spire in the peculiar manner of that species.
R. verrucosaj Sowb. (fig. 27), is a rather remarkable looking
shell, as represented in the monographs, but is nothing else than
a worn specimen of R. cruentata, in which the nodules become
smooth and darker in color. I have before me several

intermediate stages which prove their identity. A large cruen*
tata, with the tubercles dark, and the shell in a fresh state has
been called E. rugosa by Mr. Sowerby (fig. 31).
Var. RHODOSTOMA, Beck. PI. 21, fig. 25.
Shell smaller ; aperture roseate within ; columella white. This
variety inhabits several West Indian localities, and these were
named E. Thomas by d'Orbigny (fig. 36). but they do not differ
at all from Philippine and Mauritian specimens.
R. CALIFORNIA, Hinds. PL 22, fig. 42 ; PI. 21, fig. 32.
White, variegated and interruptedly banded with chestnut ; fine
specimens are roseate within the aperture.
Length, 2-5 to 4 inches,
California, Lower California.
P. P. Carpenter considered this species identical with E, ven-
tricosa, Brod., and they are certainly so similar as to indicate a
common ancestry ; venlricosa, however, is much thinner (very
thin for a Ranella}, more ventricose, spire shorter, surface
smoother, nodules less developed and more numerous ; E. Cal-
if ornica is found in the pliocene and post-pliocene formations,
of California. E. Thersites, Redfield (fig. 32), is a synonym.
R. VENTRICOSA, Brod. PI. 20, figs. 16-18.
White, when fresh, mottled and banded with chestnut ; aper-
ture white within. Shell very thin for the genus.
Length, 2 to 3 inches.
Callao, Peru.
D'Orbigny dredged this species in 8 to 10 metres' depth, rocky
situation With strong current. The eggs are deposited in crowded
groups upon Macrocystis; they are yellowish or reddish in
color.

Mottled yellowish brown and white, with faint darker bands.
Surface thickly covered with papillary tubercles.
Length, 2 to 3-5 inches.

Described as a Triton and still referred to that genus by sev-
eral distinguished conchologists. Like E. lampas it has the var-
ices of a Triton, but otherwise the facies of a Eanella, and I think

that the balance of characters will agree best with its position
in the present genus. I cannot doubt that E. coriacea, Reeve
(fig. 20), is a juvenile state of the same species.
R. PUSTULOSA, Reeve. PL 22, fig. 33.
Shell ponderous, chestnut-colored, with two or three rows of
chocolate-colored, distant, rounded tubercles ; margins of aperture
orange-brown. Length, 1*5 to 2*25 inches.
Ascension Isl, Atlantic #., 280 m. N. W. of St. Helena.
Larger and more ponderous than E. ceelata, with larger and
less numerous tubercles ; the latter, however, are more numerous
on the earlier whorls, and it would probably be difficult to dis-
tinguish a young specimen from E. cselata. The great difference
in the habitat of the two species nmy readily account for their
distinctive features, supposing, as is probable, that they were
originally derived from a common stock.
R. O^ELATA, Brod. PI. 22, fig, 34.
Shell dark chestnut-color, with a number of dark chocolate
colored tubercles, arranged in several rows.

Distinguished from the following forms by its large size and
elongated spire,
R. GRANIFERA, Lam. PI. 22, figs. 35-37.
Shell with high spire, rather thin. Light yellowish brown,
stained and maculated with a darker tint, sometimes obscurely
white banded, tubercles white ; white within.
Length, 1-5 to 2-25 inches.
Eed Sea, Natal, Paumotus, Philippines, N. E. coast of Australia.
E. semigranosa, Lam., (fig. 37), is a state of this species in
which the granules are obsolete. I separate E. affinis, Brod.
(with its synonyms), from this species only with great doubt, for
although that species is normally more ventricose, with larger
tubercles, replacing the granules in one to three rows, yet there
are intermediate forms which it is difficult to place.
42 ASPA, ARGOBUCCINUM.
R. AFPINIS, Brod. PI. 22, figs. 38-41 ; pi. 23, fig. 55.
Light yellowish or fleshy white, frequently rose-tinted towards
the apex ; surface stained and spotted with brownish red ; tuber-
cles of the angle largest, sometimes bipartite.
Length, 1/5 to 2 inches.
Philippines, New Caledonia, lux. A/uiaa,
Samoa Isles ; also West Indite.
R. livida, Reeve (fig. 39), is a less angulated form with the
tubercles more nearly equal in size throughout. I cannot detect
an}^ difference in the West Indian shells, of which E. ponder osa,
Reeve (fig. 55), may represent the typical affinis, whilst E.
Cubaniana, d'Orb. (fig. 40), is equivalent to E. livida. So many
intermediate stages of development of angle and tubercles occur
that no separation of the species is possible; moreover, the
identity of the whole with E, granifera, Lam., is probable.
Subgenus Aspa, H. & A. Adams.

Chestnut-brown, variegated with white upon the varices, under
a short velvety brown or green epidermis ; aperture white within.
Length, 2'5 to 3'5 inches.
Australia, Tasmania, Ntin Zealand.
This is one of the species which (like gigantea, lampas, etc.)
appears to partake almost equally of the characters of a Triton.
The operculum like the Triton, has a terminal initial growth.
R. BITUBERCULARIS, Lam. PI. 23, fig. 44.
Yellowish brown, white within the aperture.
Length, 20 to 28 mill.
Indian Ocean, Philippines, Australia.
ARGOBUCOINtlM. 43
The tubercles are numerous ou the earlier whorls, but (in some
instances) coallesce into two large ones between the varices on
the last whorl of the adult. When the more numerous tubercles
are persistent, the resemblance to the next species is striking,
there being little to distinguish them except coloration.
R. TUBERCULATA, Brod. PI. 23, figs. 45-47.
Chestnut-brown, with infra-sutural and submedian lighter
bands ; the numerous small tubercles regularly disposed and
dark chocolate color. Length, 20 to 40 mill.
Red Sea, Indian , China, Malacca, Manilla, Tahiti.
Very doubtfully distinct from both the preceding and succeed-
ing species. E. fmco-costata, Dunker (fig. 45), is a half-grown
shell of this species in which some of the tubercles have become
confluent into longitudinal ribs.
R. PULCHRA, Gray. PI. 23, fig. 51.
Light yellowish or nearly white, mottled or obscurely banded
with light brown ; aperture white. Length, 1'6 to 2*25 inches.
Philippines, Japan.
H. and A. Adams include this species in Eupleura^ a section of
the RanelLne which, on account of the dentition and general
resemblance of the shells to Urosalpinx, etc., has been placed in
the Muricime : it shows no close relationship to the species of
Eupleura, however.
R. GYRINA, Linn. PI. 23, fig. 48.
Shell white, with two dark chestnut bands on the body-whorl
and one on those of the spire. Tubercles larger than in E.
tttberculata, disposed to become confluent into ribs longitudinally.
Length, '75 to 1-5 inches.
Torres' Straits, Australia ; Viti Isles.
R. CUSPIDATA, Reeve. PL 23, fig. 49.
Light orange-color ; ponderous ; the last whorl bituberculate
between the varices. Length, 1*5 inches.
Philippines.
Somewhat like E. bitubercularis but more pyramidal, and
wants the long canal of that species ; it is also heavier in its
growth.
44 ARGOBUCCINUM.
R. PUSILLA, Brod. PI. 24, figs. 56-58, 66 ; pi. 23, fig. 50.
Color varying from white, more or less stained with rose
(typical) to uniform roseate or rosy with yellow varices (var. E.
rosea, Reeve, fig. 58), or. light chestnut with a, median white band
(R< concinna, Dunker, fig. 50). Length, 10 to 20 mill.
Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Philippines, Australia, New Caledonia,
Tahiti, Lord Hood's IsL, Sandwich Isles, Natal.
The intermediate stages of coloration and perfect similarity of
appearance of the three species indicated above, justify their union
under the oldest published name. R. polychloros, Tapparone-
Canefri, agrees well with a variety of R. pusilla from the Sand-
wich Islands in Coll. A. N. S. Philada., having a purple-tinted
aperture, dirty white exterior surface and chestnut bands. I can
scarcely doubt its identity with R. pusilla. It has not been
figured.
R. ANCEPS, Lam. PL 24, figs. 59, 67.
Pure white ; obsoletely bi-triplicate between the varices, encir-
cled by revolving lines. Length, '4 to 1 inch.
Torres' Straits, Australia ; Japan; Vitiand Sandwich Isles ;
Panama ; West Indies.
The above localities have all been duly verified, and notwith-
standing the very extensive distribution there does not appear to
be any variation in the species. In general appearance it is much
like some of the small Tritons of the subgenus Epidromus.

Chestnut-brown, varices yellowish ; transversely granulately
striated. Length, 15 mill.

R. AEGUS, Gmelin. PI. 24, figs. 61-65.
Longitudinally plicately nod tiled, the nodules being either
distant and large or crowded and small ; in the latter case they
are scarcely connected by longitudinal ridges, and being rubbed
white, upon the brown, banded shell, have given rise to the name
of the hundred-eyed monster. Fresh specimens are covered with
a closely-wrinkled brown epidermis. Outer lip of shell thickened
and coarsely dentate within, sometimes in the adult, developing
ARGOBUCCINUM. 45
a tooth, like Monoceros ; columella plicate in the young, much
thickened and smooth in the adult shell. Length, 2'5 to 4 inches.
Cape of Good Hope; Ins. Chiloe and Conception, Chili ;
Chatham Isles, New Zealand ; Isle of St. Paul, Indian Ocean.
The type-form of this species (fig, 61) is from Cape of Good
Hope, whilst the R. Ranelliformis, King (= vexillum, Sowb,
fig. 62), supposed to be distinguished by being lighter in structure,
more fusiform, columella wrinkled, no tooth on outer lip, etc., is
from W. Coast of S. America ; found in rocky places at from 3
to 10 fathoms by Mr. Cuming, There is every gradation between
the two forms, however, even in Cape specimens, and I cannot
separate them even as varieties.
Mr. Velain* remarks that R. proditor (fig. 64 = this species)
is very plentiful at the Islands of Amsterdam and St. Paul, in the
Indian Ocean, where the skeletons of seals, abandoned on the
rocks at low-water by the fishermen, were literally covered with
lobsters and Ranellse at the succeeding tide. They are nocturnal
in nabit and may be readily fished by suspending over-night, in
10 or 15 metres depth, the body of a bird or fish.
Undetermined Ranellse.
The following species being imfigured, cannot be placed
definitely :
R. PRODUCTA, Pease ; R. UITKOSTOMA, Pease; both from the
Sandwich Islands.
R. JUCUNDA, A. Adam's ; North Auxtrc/lia.
R. EPITREMA, Tenison- Woods. This is described as a widely
ovate, whitish species, not quite an inch in length ; it is nodose
and lirate. with a conspicuously margined lip. dentate within.
It has a deeply canaliculate suture, causing the varices to over-
lap in a singular hooked manner. Australia.
The description agrees very well with that of R. jucunda, A.

the aperture not thickened,
Operculum ovate, acute, with apical nucleus.
The animal possesses the essential features of a Murex.
Dentition. That of the tj-pical genus Fusus does not differ es-
sentially from that of Fasciolaria; Stimpson states* that it has the
saw-like lateral teeth of Fasciolaria, whilst M acdonaldf found an-
other species to possess lateral teeth of the Muricoid type. Tros-
chel finds a Fasciolarioid dentition in Fusus Syracusanuv, and he
has accordingly made for it a new genus, Aptyxis ; but Schacko has
recently found the same dentition in Fusus inconstans Lischke, a
typical Fusus. I think that Macdonald must have mistaken some
other genus for Fusus. The dentition of Sipho, which, according
to Troschel, resembles that of Fasciolaria is shown by the more
recent investigations of Sars to be Buccinoid , Ptychatractus, with
evident resemblance to Fasciolaria has a peculiar dentition, ap-
proaching Murex, and on this character alone Stimpson, followed
by Gill, assigns to it a distinct family.
Neptunea, Melongena, etc., long classed with Fusidae are now
brought into more intimate relationship with Buccinum, and
Busycon, and Tudicla will go into the same group ; on the other
hand Peristernia, Latirus, etc., formerly included in Turbinellidee
have a Fasciolarioid dentition, which, with added conchological
characters may suffice for their removal from that to the present
family. Stimpson j describes and figures the dentition of an
unknown species of Peristernia from the coast of Georgia, which
lias the essential features of Busycon* and he thereupon places
the genus in Neptuniin^e ; but it is evident that he was in error,
as Troschel figures known species, which are Fasciolariform in
dentition as they are in conchological characters.

Synopsis of Genera.
Sub-Family FUSINJE.
FUSUS, Lam. Shell fusiform or spindle-shaped ; spire many-whorled,
acuminate, longer than the last whorl ; aperture oval ; canal long,
straight, narrow ; columella smooth, arcuated. Dentition, PI. 25, fig. 1.
Subgenus SINISTRALIA, H. and A. Ad. Shell reversed, fusiform ; canal
long ; whorls rounded.
AFER, Conrad. Shell short fusiform, spire and canal moderate, body
whorl rather large, shouldered and tuberculate, aperture channelled
behind, outer lip dentate within. (Professor Meek * states that the
fossil species described by Conrad, are not congeneric with the type>
the recent Fusus afer, Lam., and he refers them to Conrad's genus
Pyrifusus, one of the forms of N'ptuniincB.)
CLAVELLA, Swains. Shell solid, thick, subfusiform ; spire acuminate;
last whorl suddenly contracted in front, thickened and rounded next the
suture ; aperture narrow, canal long and straight ; columella excavated
in the middle ; outer lip simple. Operculum ovate ; nucleus apical.
Dentition, unknown.
Peistocheilus, Meek, Described as a subgenus of Fasciolaria, appears to
be identical with Clavella, as Meek himself subsequently suspected.
The columellar plaits are nearly obsolete, situated so far within the
aperture as to be barely-visible and in many specimens are not seen
at all. Clavella itself occasionally shows these adventitious and in-
conspicuous plaits. The shell is so decidedly fusiform that I place it
in the Fusinae in preference to the Fasciolariinse despite these folds.
The dentition of Clavella distorta corresponds with that of Cantharus,
Kuthria, etc., with which the genus has heretofore been associated in
the sub-family Pisaniinae, and this species and its allies are also con-
chologically related to that sub-family, but the fossil types and the
recent C. serotina are generically different, so that the genus as thus
restricted must be placed here.
I figure the type of Meek's subgenus Peistochilus.

crenate. Dentition, pi. 25, figs. 2, 3.

Sub-Family PEKISTERNIIN^E.
PERISTERNIA, Morch. Shell turreted, not umbilicated ; whorls longi-
tudinally ribbed ; aperture oval ; canal moderate and recurved ; outer
lip thin and crenulated ; columella with one or two slight plaits anteri-
orly, Dentition, pi. 25, fig. 8. The want of umbilicus, less distinct
columella folds and recurved canal are the principal (and not sufficient)
distinctions from Latirus.
LATIRUS, Montf. Shell turreted, fusiform, sometimes umbilicated ;
spire produced ; whorls nodulous , aperture oval-oblong ; outer lip
thin, crenulated ; columella straight, with two or three small oblique
plaits in front, Mr. H, Crosse remarks upon the insufficiency of the
diagnosis of Latirus by Montfort and H, and A, Adams, and proposes
to relegate the species to Turbinella; that genus, however, may be more
advantageously restricted to the forms for which the genera Vasum and
Mazza have been constituted,
LEUCOZONIA, Gray. Shell oval, subglobose, shouldered ; spire mode-
rate ; aperture oblong ; canal short ; columella subflexuous, with small
oblique, unequal plaits ; outer lip sub-acute, with a more or less promi-

Fossil Genera and Subgenera.
Subfamily FUSINJE.
Subgenus EXILIFUSUS, Gabb. Shell very long, slender, fusiform ; spire
high ; aperture produced into a long, slender, twisted canal.
This group differs from the true genus Fmus, as restricted, by its
twisted, slender canal. In this character it approaches some of the
Neptuneae, but its high spire and strongly costate whorls show that it is
more nearly allied to the true Fvsxs.
E. KERRI, Gabb. PL 28, fig. 43. Cretaceous, N. Carolina.
Subgenus EXILIA, Conrad. Shell very narrow, costate, spire subulate,
canal long and narrow.
E. PERGKACILIS, Conr. PI. 28, fig. 44. Eocene, Alab<tt/t.
Scarcely distinct from the typical Fusae. E,riUfnsux, Conrad (non
Gabb), is evidently a synonym.
E. THALLOIDES, Conr. PI. 28, fig. 45. riiiiborne, Alabama.
Genus TURRISPIRA, Conrad. Has not been characterized, and does
not seem to differ from FHXHN.
T. SALEBROSA, Conrad. PI. 28, fig. 46. Eocene, Alabama.
Genus PRISCOFUSTJS, Conrad. Founded on Fmm genicultts, Conrad,
a very poorly preserved or figured fossil ; the type has "been lost for twenty
years. The species is wholly unrecognizable, and should be expunged
from nomenclature. For this rubbish Mr. Conrad has proposed a genus
Priscofusus, but with neither figure nor diagnosis." Drill, Proc. Calif.
Ac fid. 1877.
F. GENICULUS, Conrad. Plate 28, fig. 47. Eocene, Astoria, Oregon.
Subgenus SERRIFUSUS, Meek. Shell short-fusiform ; body volution
large, and bi- or tricarinate. with carinae more or less nodose ; spire and
canal moderate, the latter bent and more or less twisted ; outer lip broadly
but slightly sinuous in outline, between the upper carina and the suture.

This form so much resembles the recent Ft/tors (Hemifuxus] probotd-
fliferi's, Lam., that it might well be considered a fossil form of the same
group.
SCALASPIRA, Conrad. This uncharacterized Miocene genus is figured
by me (Manual, Vol. 2, pi. 70, fig. 431) as a possible synonym with Uro-
salpinx. It may be a Fusus, however.

Sub-Family FASCIOLARIINJE.
Subgenus TEREBRISPIRA, Conrad. Shell of medium size, with spire
much produced and canal short ; volutions convex, angular, and strongly
spirally ridged ; plaits of columella not exposed externally ; outer lip
internally sulcated.
T. ELEGANS, Emmons. PI. 29, fig. 50. Miocene, Alabama.
Subgenus MESORHYTIS, Meek. Shell agreeing nearly with Peistocheilus
in form, but with plaits of columella stronger, comparatively little oblique,
and exposed directly opposite the middle of the aperture ; surface with
fine spiral striae, and vertical costss.
M. GRACILENTA, Meek. PI. 29, fig. 51. Cretaceous, Yellowstone River,
150 miles from its mouth.
Has the folds of a Mitra, rather than a Fasciolaria, and Meek refers it
with considerable doubt to its present position.
Subgenus CRYPTORHYTIS, Meek. Shell generally under medium size,
with volutions convex, but constricted above, and provided with regular
vertical costas or small folds ; plaits of the columella very oblique, not
exposed in a direct view into the aperture, and occupying a higher position
than in the typical group ; outer lip smooth within.

The only figure does not exhibit the aperture, but Conrad states that
the fold is situated more remote from the beak than in any other genus
except Cuma.

a member of the family Pleurotomida3. Conrad, however, has referred
fossil Fasciolarise to it.

FUSING. 51
Sub-Family FUSING.
Genus FTJSUS, Lam.
Shell fusiform ; spire long, acuminate, many whorled ; aper-
ture oval, usually striate within; outer lip simple; columella
smooth ; no umbilicus ; canal long and straight. Yellowish
brown or light horn-color, sometimes with red brown strigse or
spots ; never banded. Operculum ovate, acute, with apical
nucleus.
The genus as above denned, includes a considerable number of
species very closely related in form, sculpture and color. The
chief discriminative characters used are the proportions of dia-
meter to length of shell, the longitudinal ribs and revolving striae,
the presence or absence of a shoulder on the whorls and of tub-
ercles. Having examined extensive suites of specimens from
single localities I find so much variation in all these respects
that I am somewhat at a loss how to treat the species. I much
fear that the number of specific forms, which, for want of actual
demonstration to the contrary, I must leave intact, will eventu-
ally have to be greatly reduced when more material shall render
possible a more philosophic consideration of the specific char-
acters. The genus, as restricted to the spindle-shaped forms, is
sub-tropical in distribution the northern species usually de-
scribed as Fusus ~by the older conchologists being now more
correctly referred to the family Buccinidae.

Australia.
This species is remarkable for its shelving shoulder, forming
a conical spire with flat sides, for the ridge at the angle of the
shoulder, which on the body whorl is only slightly or not at all
tuberculate, for the absence of longitudinal ribs, and for the sepa-
ration of the lip from the canal, forming a long, narrow, umbili-
cal channel. It is an aberrant form which I have been tempted
to place in Hemifustis, or to make it the type of a new genus.
Dr. Binney identified this species with Murex Aruanus, Linn.,
which is exceedingly questionable, as that name is usually cited
for a very different shell belonging to the genus Ftilyur. It
appears to me to be more advisable to retain Lamarck's well-
known name.
F. VENTRICOSUS, II. Adams.^ PL 32, fig. 94.
Yellowish white. Length, 130 mill.
D'Agulhas Bank, Cape of Good Hope.
Evidently related to the preceding species and showing even
more clearly than it does the separation of the inner lip from
the columella. Kobelt has changed the name to Adarnvii, because
the original specific name is preoccupied by Beck and Gray, but
as I do not adopt either of these in the genus, I retain Adams'
designation.
c. Tubercles compressed, shell ribbed longitudinally.

Shell very like F. coins ^ var. toreiima, but* stouter and more
coarsely sculptured, the ribs being rounded, and duplicating the
nodules of the shoulder. Length, 5 to 6 inches.
Japan, Philippines.
F. oblitus, Reeve (fig. 97), appears to be the same.
Var. BECKII, Reeve. PI. 33, fig. 99.
Only differs in being denuded of epidermis ; white, without
any fuscous markings.
'Var. BRENCHLEYI. Baird. PL 32, fig 96.
A little shorter and proportionally wider than the type, the
revolving ridges more irregular and consisting of two to four
striae combined, the coloring more closely disposed and deeper.
Length, 3*5 inches.
I suspect that this is founded on a single specimen and that
the characters are individual only, and would gradually change
into those of the type, if a scries should be examined. I have
not seen the specimen.

nate broad, sharp-edged and very fine spiral ribs ; suture distinct ;
mouth ovate ; throat grooved ; outer lip crenulated ; canal
elongated, tapering, transversely striated, smooth in front.

a half; the periostracum thin, pale brown, hairy."
The above description is all that is known of the species ; it
does not seem to. convey any really distinctive characters from
several other well-known species. It has not been figured,
P. TUBERCULATUS, Lam. PI, 33, fig. 100; pi. 34, figs, 110, 111.
White, coarsely sculptured with revolving rounded ribs, the
angle of the shoulder somewhat distantly tuberculated, and the
interstices chestnut-brown. Length, 4*5 inches.
Red Sea, Indian Ocean.
' This shell has a shorter spire and canal and is wider in pro-
portion than F. Nicobaricus, of which, however, it may be only
a variety. M. Tapparone-Canefri has given this species the
name F. maculiferus because of the prior use of the specific
name by Chemnitz for another species, but as that author was
not binomial, his descriptive phrase being " F. tuberculatus sen
muricatus," Lamarck's designation can stand,
Yar. NODOSOPLICATUS, Dunker. PI 34, figs. 110. 111.

Lischke figures a variety (fig. 1 11) of this form, which not only
approaches the next species but, in its obsolete carin<e, connects
it also with a different group of Fusi. t
F. LOEBBECKEI, Kobelt. PI. 34, fig.'112.
Greyish white, spire somewhat stained with yellow.
Length, 106 mill.
Hob. unknown.
Described from a single, somewhat worn specimen.
F. PERPLEXUS, A. Adams. PI. 3S, figs. 102-10T.
Shell white or yellowish, with or without chestnut markings,
rather thin. Typically the shoulder and nodules are well devel-
oped, but they gradually disappear in a series of individuals
until in some forms they are entirely absent, and the body-whorl
is rounded and simply sculptured with revolving stria?. This
extensive range of variation, fully established by the admirable
figures of Lischke 's Fusus inconstant (as above), not only suffices
FUSING. 55
for the suppression of this species but, if a similar variability in
the other forms be assumed, it would almost reduce the oriental
Fusie to a single species. I do not think that science will be
advanced by a radical reduction of these species at present : on
the other hand, whilst perplexus has no real claims to recognition
as a species, yet to suppress it would be to refer its various forms
to several different species, although they are very evidently
mere modifications of growth of a single species. Under these
circumstances I let it stand, F. perplexus has not been figured,
but Mr. E. Smith, of the British Museum, finds no difference
between specimens of it and the figures of Fusus inconstant
Lischke, a species published four years later.
Length, 3 to 5 inches.

F. MULTICARINATUS, Lam. PI. 33. fig. 109.
Yellowish white. Length, 4*5 to 5 inches.
Red Sea.
The species figured by Reeve under this name is not angulate
and much resembles F. turricula ; it has been separated from
multicarinatus by Philippi and Tapparone-Canefri and is called
F. Reeveanus by the former ; it is a synonym of Fusus spectrum,
Adams and Reeve.
F. AUSTRALIS, Quoy. PI. 34, figs. 113-119.
Brownish red, or yellowish with chestnut spots or narrow
bands ; periphery snbcarinate but shoulder scarcely defined,
rounded ; upon the bod3 7 -whorl the revolving stria? arc frequently
more prominent than the ribs, breaking up the latter into tuber-
cles at their crossing. Spire and canal proportionally shorter
than in the preceding species. Length, 3' 75 inches.
Red Sea, Japan, Australia.
M. Tapparone-Canefri gives to this species the name of F.
tuberculatus, Chemn., which cannot stand, as the descriptive
phrase is " F. tuberculatus seu muricatus." He also refers to
F. verrucosus, Wood (as of Gmelin), but the identification is
doubtful. F. marmoratus (figs. 114, 115), Phil., F. aureus,
Reeve (figs. 116, 117), and F. crebriliratus, Reeve (fig. 118),
may be confidently placed in the S3 T nonymy of the species. F.
caudatus, Quoy (fig. 119), is the young shell.

F. LONGISSIMUS, Gmel. PI. 34, fig. 120.
Shell white, covered sometimes by a very light brown

compressed nodules. Length, 7*5 to 9 inches.
Ceylon.
F. candidus, Gmel., appears to be the same species and has a
prior position in the " Systema," although published on the same
page ; I use longissimus preferably because it was adopted by
Lamarck, and the species is, consequently, much better known
under that name.
F. UNDATUS, Gmel. PI. 32. figs. 121, 126.
Shell heavy, white; nodules more prominent, not compressed,
and fewer than in F. longissimus, being 7 or 8 to the whorl ;
revolving striae not so prominent. Length, 6 to 7 inches.
Central Polynesia.
This species resembles the preceding, but the characters given
above will serve to distinguish it. It is a very ponderous shell,
and has an obsolete angle on the periphery below the shoulder
line, making the body-whorl somewhat biangulate.
F. similis, Baird (fig. 126), from New Caledonia appears to be
the same species, only differing in having "about 10 or 11"
nodules in the specimen described.
F. POLYGONOIDES, Lam. PL 35, figs. 127, 128.
Light brown, spotted and strigate with chestnut-brown ; body-
whorl distinctly biangulate; both angles nodulous, those of tho
shoulder the most prominent. Length 2'5 to 3*5 inches.
East Indies.
I figure two examples of this species, the proportions varying
considerably. It is possible that the succeeding species may be
only a very sliin variety, yet I am inclined to consider it distinct.

M. Tapparone-Canefri thinks that this species .approaches
rather too closely to a variety of F. polygonoides, Lam.; he thinks
F. pauper culus, Desh., may be the young of it.
F. GRADATUS, Reeve. PL 35, figs. 123-125.
Light yellowish or orange, the nodulous sculpture white.
Shell distinctly shouldered, covered by coarse rounded longi-
tudinal ribs, which are cut into compressed nodules by coarse
revolving riblets. Length, 2 to 2*5 inches.
West Indies.
The species was described without locality, but the figure
corresponds exactly with specimens of F. Hartwigi, Shuttl. (fig.
124), which were collected at the island of St. Thomas, W. I.
F. Paeteli, Dunker (fig. 125), also described without locality,
appears to be the same. The latter species is compared by
Dunker with F. strigatus, Phil., with which, notwithstanding the
differences he has pointed out, it is entirely too closely allied.
F. SCHRAMMI, Crosse. PI. 35, fig. 130.
Subtranslucent, finely striated with revolving lirre ; longitu-
dinaly, tuberculately costate ; with a median sharp angle or
carina, appearing on the spiral whorls also. Yellowish, with an
interrupted, pallid brown band. Length, 69 mill.

This may possibly be the young of an extreme variety of the
following species.
F. DISTANS, Lam. PI. 36, fig. 131.
Whorls convex, carinate in the middle, and encircled by a row
of compressed tubercles. Light yellowish brown, the raised
revolving line darker, as are also the interstices of the tubercles.
Shell stout but rather light in texture. Length, 5 to 6 inches.
Philippine Islands.
Murex ansatus and versicolor, Gmelin, are probably the same
species, but I am unable to identify them positively. The fol-
lowing, however, can only be separated by locality, and by its
usually more elate form although some are exactly like distans.
It may be advisable to treat it, for the present, as a variety.

Unicolored beneath the light olive epidermis ; spire more elate

cles usually vanishing before the last whorl, although sometimes
continued and forming an angle upon it ; body usually well
rounded, showing no distinct shoulder, encircled throughout
with revolving ribs, no tubercles.
Galapagos Isles ; W. Coast of Central America, N. to Acapulco.
Kiener 's figure of this form (fig. 133) represents a shell quite
similar to F. distans, and the collection of the Philad. Academy
contains a similar specimen ; ordinarily, however, the non-carinate
form obtains, and such is represented by the figures of Valen-
ciennes and Reeve. Fusus Novse-Hollandise, Reeve, next de-
scribed, is certainly very closely allied to this species.

on the lower part of the body. Aperture quite small, nearly
semicircular; beak nearly straight, and with a very narrow
channel. Length, 1*75 inches.
Mazatlan, Guaymas.
It is evident, from Gould's figure, that his species is a young
shell, and 1 think that the adult is the Dupetithouarsi of Car-
penter, which he considered equivalent to Novse-Hollandise of
Reeve. I have before me a pair of shells three inches long, from
Cape St. Lucas, and identified by Carpenter as Dupetithouarsi,
Kiener : they are narrower and more graceful than that species,
however, and whilst sufficiently resembling an ambustus, also
before me, except in much greater size, they cannot, on the other
hand, be distinguished from F. spectrum, vai\ Novse Hollandiae.
I have indicated the synonymy as it appears to me, but have not
sufficient material to justify me in deciding the matter definitely.
Mr. W. H. Ball has examined a photograph from an original
drawing of F. tumens, Carpenter, an unfigured species described
from a very young individual, and identifies it with ambustus.
The ambustus of Carpenter, Cooper and others = the following
species.
60 FUSINJE.
F. CINEREUS, Reeve. PL 3f, figs. 139-141.
Shell more or less shouldered ; canal rather short; spire long.
Ribs generally whitish ; revolving lirse, alternately larger and
smaller, cross the ribs, and the larger lirse are brownish ; the
interstices of the sculpture are brownish, sometimes variegated
with white. Length, 20 mill.
Farallone Isles to San Diego, Gal. ; La Paz, L. Gal. Gabb.
Fusus luteopictus, Dall (fig. 140), is the shell which many
Californian collectors have erroneously referred to F. ambustus,
Gld., and which others have identified as F. geniculus, Conrad :
the latter is a miocene fossil, the figure of which is not sufficiently
good for recognition, the type lost. I do not doubt the identity
of luteopictus with cinereus, which was described without locality.
and as a Turbinella. P. Taylorianus, Reeve, (fig. 141). appears
to be a worn, immature state of the same species.
F. DUNKERT, Jonas. PL 3t, fig. 142.
White, with a brownish interrupted zone. Length, 20 mill.
Australia.
This is evidently a very much worn specimen and perhaps not
adult; the locality, also, has not been confirmed by subsequent
collectors. Dr. Philippi considered F. Taylorianus, Reeve, a
synonym, but I do not think the condition of Dunkeri justifies a
positive conclusion. If the two species be merged the adopted
name will be Dunkeri, which has decided priority of publication.
F. CRATICULATUS, Brocchi. PL 3t, figs. 143, 144.
Reddish brown, resembling F. Syracusanus somewhat in form
and sculpture. Length, 31 mill.
Mediterranean ; rather rare.
F. scaber, Lam. (fig. 144), is a synonym.
F. SYRACUSANUS, Linn. PL 3T, figs. 145, 146.
Whitish, with usually the shoulders of the whorls chestnut-
brown, as well as the canal, a median band of the same 0:1 the
body-whorl. Length, 1*5 to 2'25 inches.
Mediterra nean.
The form and coloring are remarkably similar in a number of
specimens from various localities, now before me ; yet a variety
figured by Reeve (fig. 146), is larger, whorls rounded, without
FUSING. 61
shoulder, and unicolored. The dentitioR of this species was
ascertained by Troschel to be fasciolarioid, on which account he
founded for it a new g % enus, Aptyxis; it has more recently ap-
peared, however, that an undoubtedly genuine Fusus and the
only one of which the dentition has been hitherto examined,
possesses the same type of dentition (see F. inconstans, Lischke,
PI. 25, fig. 1), so that Aptyxis cannot hold.
F. ROSTRATUS, OHvi. PI. 3*7, figs. 147-150.
Yellowish to reddish brown, spirally corded with sharp, narrow
ridges, which become prickly on the ribs, and form a sharp series
of tubercles, defining a somewhat convex shoulder ; interstices of
the main ridges each provided with a smaller ridge and scabrous.
Length, 1 to 1*15 inches.
Mediterranean ; Canary Islands.
Rather common in deep water, from 20 to 100 fathoms, upon
corals and rocks. Fossil, miocene and pliocene, South of Europe.
I have described the fully developed form, with carina, but this
is often obsolete, so that the contour of the body-whorl is almost
regularly rounded. To the latter belongs Reeve's F.fragosus,
(fig. 148), to the former his F. coelatas (fig. 149), is certainly very
nearly related.
F. CCELATUS, Reeve. PI. 37, fig. 149.
Whitish ; sculpture sharp arid delicate. Length, 2*25 inches.
Hob. unknown.
Except in its larger size it is not essentially different from F.
rostratus.
F. BRUIJNII, Tapparone-Canefri.
Elongately fusiform, sub-umbilicate, reddish brown ; spire elate,
apex somewhat acute ; whorls nine, convex, with impressed
sutures, closely encircled with squamous lirre crossing nine or
ten longitudinal ribs ; rounded, the last whorl obscurely sub-
angulate ; aperture ovately-subquadrate, crenulate at margin of
lip, sulcate within ; lip and columella margined with a vivid
reddish tint, otherwise white within ; canal moderate, riot equalling
the spire. Length, 40 mill.
Papuan Islands.
62 FUSING.
Not figured, but compared with Fusus constrictus, Koch, a
species which I have placed in the genus Coralliophila (Yol. II,
p. 208). It is said to possess a narrower umbilicus and to differ
in proportions and somewhat in color. Judging from the
description I think it possible that F. Bruijnii belongs also in
Coralliophila.
F. NIGRIROSTRATUS, E. A. Smith. PL 37, fig. 151.
Brownish, streaked with darker color between the plications,
the revolving lirse whitish, the rostrum purplish black ; aperture
bluish or purplish within. Length, 50 mill.
Japan.
I know nothing of this species beyond the description and
figure.
F. PHILIPPII, Jonas. PL 38, fig. 152.
Strigate with brown on a yellowish brown ground ; white
within.
Australia.
This species has not been recognized by local collectors, nor is
it found in the Monographies : it is probably not a true Fusus.
2. Shell with rounded shoulder, no distinct carina.
This division is made to include a few species, which, so far as
our information goes, do not become sharply angulate upon the
shoulder ; there is no marked demarkation, however, between it
and the preceding group, because some of the latter, normally
carinate, vary to rounded whorls without carina.
F. NOBILIS, Reeve. PL 38, fig. 153.
White ; interstices of the ribs faint reddish brown.
Length, 10-5 inches.
Hob. unknown.
Too closely allied to the varieties of F. distans, Lam., having
rounded whorls : the only differences being larger size, and per-
haps a little more ventricose growth. The specimen figured is the
only one known ; a shell sent to me by a London dealer under
this name, as from the island of Tortola, West Indies, proving to
be identical in all respects with forms of F. distans, var. closer.
F. nobilis much resembles F. longissimus, GmeL, also, in size
and proportions.
F. TURRICULA, Kiener. PL 38, fig. 154.
Uniform yellowish white. Lentgh, 3*5 to 4'5 inches.
China.
FUSING. 63
This appears to be a pretty constant form, the ribs large and
rounded and extending over the body-whorl ; an inner lip is
usually present in the larger specimens, presenting a well-defined
edge, raised above the columella.
F. PFEIFFERI, Phil. PI. 38, fig. 155.
Brownish yellow. Length, 2 inches.
Hob. unknown.
I know nothing about the species, which is described, I presume,
from a single specimen. Its validity is more than doubtful, as it
has no characters to separate it from a half dozen other species.
F. MEYERT, Bunker. PI. 38, fig, 156.
Uniform white. Length, 7 inches.
Hob. unknown.
Said to differ from F. longicauda by its larger size, larger and
more rugose revolving ridges, slightly concave shoulder, etc. It
seems to differ from F. diKtan^ var. Novae Hollandiae only in the
ribs not being continued over the body. If might well be con-
sidered a synonym of both !
F. LONGICAUDA, Bory. PI. 38, fig. 15 f .
Yellowish white ; epidermis brown, thin ; apex and end of
canal frequently brownish. Length, 5 to 6'5 inches.
Ceylon.
This is, perhaps, a F. colus without carina, or a F. turricula
without ribs on the body-worl.
F. COUEI, Petit. PI. 38, fig. 158.
Yellowish-white. Length, 4 inches.
Hob. Gulf of Mexico.
The locality is as doubtful as the shell ; if the former is incor-
rect, the species might well be merged in the preceding one.
F. GRACTLLIMUS, Ads. and Reeve. PI. 38, fig. 159.
Light chestnut-brown. Length, 3 inches.
Eastern Sea*.
Very like F. turricula, Kiener, but more slender.
F. ACUS, Ads. and Reeve. PL 38, fig. 160.
Reddish brown ; spiral grooves fine, close-set, peculiarly flatly
excavated. Length, 1-65 inches.
China Sea, off Borneo.
The most slender and graceful of all the species of Fusus.

FUSING.
F. LACUSICAUDATUS, Hinds. PI. 38, fig. 161.
Reddish brown ; aperture contracted by an inward curvature
of the lip. Length, 2-25 inches.
ISAgulhaa Sank, Cape of Good Hope.
This is doubtless a monstrosity caused b}^ some injury to the
mantle of the animal. I have seen a number of similar instances
of abnormal inflection in the lip in both marine and terrestrial
mollusks.
F. KOBELTI, Dall. PI. 39, fig. 162.
Whorls 1 or 8, with rounded ribs crossed by revolving ridges,
alternately larger. The shell is white, under an ashy gray or
greenish olivaceous epidermis, the alternate larger revolving
ridges chocolate brown ; spire moderately long, whorls well
rounded ; canal rather short, somewhat curved.
Length, 2 to 2'5 inches.
Catalina Island and Monterey, Gal.
As this species has not been figured hitherto, I give that of a
beach-worn specimen (the best I have) from Catalina I. The
shell has been confounded by some of the West Coast collectors
with F. ambustus, Gld., but is a stouter species.
F. TENUILIRATUS, Bunker. PI. 3&, fig. 163.
Whitish, with light yellowish brown longitudinal strigations.
Length, 3 inches.
Hal), unknoirn.
The gradual inferior contraction of the aperture, until it merges
insensibly into the rather wide canal is the principal distinctive
feature of this stout but probably immature shell.
F. RUDOLPHI, Dunker. PI. 39, fig. 164.
Yellowish white, the revolving striae light chestnut, crossed b}*
longitudinal strigations or maculations of the same color.
Length, 3*5 inches.
Hab. unknown.
In the features of this species as well as in those of the follow-
ing one, may be recognized some of the characteristics of the
genus Hemifusus.
FUSING. 65
F. OCELLIFERUS, Bory, PI. 39, fig. 165.
Whitish, with pale yellowish brown, longitudinal strigations ;
revolving ribs rather broad and flattened, disposed to break up
into tuberculations, and striate on the top ; the inter-channels
each with a single narrow ridge ; whorls peculiarly appressed
below the sutures ; shell thin. Length, 4 inches.
East Indies ?
F. MINUTISQUAMOSUS, Reeve. PI. 39, fig. 166.
Longitudinally plicately ribbed, crossed by squamous fine ridges.
Yellowish white. Length, -15 inch.
Hob. unknown.
I am not acquainted with this species, of which Reeve has
only given us a back view : it may be a Coralliophila, perhaps.
F. PULCHELLUS, Phil. PL 39, fig, 167.
Light chestnut-color, the longitudinal ribs dark chocolate, ex-
cept upon the periphery, where they are tipped with white, form-
ing an nterrupted band. Length, 22 mill.
Mediterranean Sea.
F, NIPONICUS, E. A. Smith. PL 39, fig, 168.
Whitish or yellowish, brown stained on the spine, and with a
narrow brown band on the body-whorl ; white within.
Length, 22 mill.
Japan.
Evidently immature, and very probably not a true Fusus.
F. SIMPLEX, E. A. Smith. PL 39, fig. 169.
White, under a smooth, grayish-olive epidermis.
Length, 18 mill.
Japan.
Certainly a very young shell ; very probably its adult form has
an older name.
F. RUBROLINEATUS, Sowb.
Shell rather short, light reddish, bifasciate with chestnut, dis-
tantly lineated with spiral red lines, thinly striated ; spire rather
short; whorls seven, marked with rather distant rounded ribs
and spiral lines, with a wide chestnut band above ; aperture
sub-ovate, terminating in a sub-elongate canal.
Agulhas Bank, South Africa.
STNTSTRALTA.
Not figured, and no dimensions given. The coloration pre-
cludes its being a Fusus I suppose, but the description does not
indicate its true generic position.
F. USTULATUS, Reeve. PI. 39, fig. 170.
Rusty brown; whitish within. Length, 2*75 inches,
Hab. unknown.
In the partial separation of an inner lip from the columellar
margin of the canal, and in the canal being wide and open this
species possesses characters which remove it from the typical
Pusi and connect it with two shouldered species, F. proboscidi-
ferus and F. ventricosus. It is possible that these may form a
new generic group.
F. PYRULATUS, Reeve. PI. 39, figs. 171, 172.
Yellowish brown. Length, 2*75 inches.
Van Diemari's Land.
Appears to be somewhat immature. I have not seen the
species.
Subgenus Sinistralia, H. <fc A. Act.
F. MAROCCENSIS, Gmel. PL 40, figs. 173, 174.
Yellowish white to light brown. Length, *75 to 1 inch.
Isl. of Guadeloupe, W. Indies?
The ribs are not continuous to the sutures, below which a
smooth space intervenes ; in the smaller specimens this space is
very narrow and thus may escape observation, but in better
grown individuals it becomes wider and more marked. In the
latter state Mr. Reeve has called the species F. elegans (fig. 174 ) :
a name which cannot stand even as a variety. The locality given
is exceedingly doubtful.
Doubtful and Spurious Fusidas.
F, LINCOLNENSIS, Crosse. PL 40, fig. 175.
Whitish, with a wide central brown band. Length, 19 mill.
York Peninsula, Australia.
The coloration and very short canal remove this species from
Fusus; yet I do not know where to locate it. Resembles a
Muricidea.
FUSING. 67
F. HEMIFUSUS, Kobelt. PI. 58, fig. 397.
Locality unknown.
This species, published in the Conchylien Cabinet in 1 880, came
to me too late to insert in its proper position in the genus Fusus.
It is precisely like F. CO/MS, var. Brenchlyi, and is therefore a
synonym.
F. LINEOLATUS, Costa. This is evidently not a Fusus. It is said
to inhabit the Mediterranean Sea, but I do not find it in Wein-
kauff or Monterosato.
F. PUSILLUS, Pfeiffer. Probably a very young shell, if a Fusus,
as it only measures two lines "in length. It has not been recog-
nized.
West Indies.
F. APERTUS, Carpenter. " The six specimens found of this spe-
cies were either young or fragmentary." The length of the
shell is one-tenth of an inch ! Why will naturalists cumber the
nomenclature with species founded upon such insufficient ma-
terial ?
F. MODESTUS, Gould. An unfigured shell, collected by the North
Pacific Expl. Exped. in ten fathoms, shelly sand, at Hakodadi,
Japan. The description is useless for recognition of the species,
and the types were destroyed, I presume, in the great Chicago
fire.
F. QILVUS, Phil. This may be a Hemifusus, as there is a per-
forate umbilicus. The species is from China, and has not been
figured.
F. OBSCURUS, Phil. PI. 40. fig. 176.
Nearl}' black, the upper part of the whorls, the keel, the
tubercles and a central band on the last whorl are lighter.
Length, 1-65 inches.
Hob. unknown.
The color, the flexure of the columella, etc., are not typical of
the genus, and would indicate some relationship to the Perister-
niinae: there is no mention made of columellar plaits, however.
Is this possibly a discolored fossil ?
F. NUCLEUS, Brod. PI. 40, fig. 187.
Whitish. Length -5, lat. '33 inch.
Galapagos.
00 FUSING.
I do not know the species. It was described as a Murex, but
neither belongs to that genus nor to Fusus where it is placed
by Sowerby, of whose figure I give a copy. Perhaps it is a very
young Coralliophila.
F. UNICARINATUS, Phil. This unfigured and minute species from
Magellan's Straits is certainly not a Fusus, but may be a Trophon.
1 have described it under that genus in Vol. II, p. 151.
F. SPIRALIS, A. Ad. This is a genuine Fusus, shouldered and
spirally striate, about three inches in length. Inhabits New
Zealand. F. pensum, Hutton, is a synonym, according to the
latter author. Unfigured.
F. NODICINCTUS, A. Ad. Australia,
F. DILECTUS, A. Ad. Venezuela.
F. ALBINUS, A. Ad. Ichaboe, W. Africa.

F. GRANDIS, Gray. Habitat unknown.
F. GLACIALIS, Gray. Arctic Ocean.
F, VARIUS, Lam. Australia.
F. CREBRICOSTATUS, Lam. Hab. unknown.
F. RUBENS, Lam. Isle of France.
These three species are not figured by Kiener in his delinea-
tions of the Lamarckian types, and the descriptions have not
been identified by any other conchologists.
F. VENTRICOSUS and F. EXILIS, Menke. Australia.
F. CHONETICUS, F. UMBILTCATUS, F. BERNARDIANUS, F. CYGNEUS

F. umbilicatus is certainly not a Fusus, but the description
does not indicate its generic position.
F. MURICOIDES and F. NITENS, C. B. Adams. Jamaica.
Both minute shells, and not true Fusi.
F. LINEATTJS and F. MALSBURGIANUS, Menke.
The above', described in Menke 's catalogue, are not now in his
collection. Vide Mai. Blatt, xviii, 12T.
AFER. 69
F. JAPONICUS, Gray. I have not been able to find any reference
for this name.
The following numerous species, described by Anton, in his
" Verzeichniss," have never been identified ; they are mostly not
true Fusi and will go into Neptunea, Hemifusus, or other related
groups, judging from the diagnoses.
F. ROEDINGI and F. GIESEKII, Anton. No locality. Appear to
be true Fusus.
F. SPLENDIDUS, Anton. Something like a Turbinella or Fascio-
laria.
F. TRISKADEKAGONUS, F. AURANTIUS, F. HEXAGONUS ("inclines
to Turbinella, still more to Murex "), F. GRANULOSUS (= Turbin-
ella ?), F. CIRCULUS, F. REMOTUS, F. CONICUS. F. VENTRICOSUS, F.
CONTABULATUS, F. PUNCTATUS, F. ROSSMASSLERI, F. PLEUROTO-
MOIDES, F. MURICINUS, F. VARICOSUS, F. MONACHUS, F. ROSEUS
(= Purpura?}, F. ALBICAWS (== TurbitieUa?).
Genus AFER, Conrad.
Conrad never characterized his genus ; but he made Fusus
afer of Gmelin the type of it. The fossil forms assigned by him
to the genus are stated by Prof, Meek to be different from F. afer,
and he refers them to Conrad's Pyrifusus. Fusus afer does not
seem to have been very well understood by conchologists, the
figure in Kiener looking like an immature shell, whilst that given
by Reeve belongs to the Turbinellidae.
I retain the genus, with great doubt, and refer to it a second
species, which seems to have some resemblance to the type, and
for which I have no other convenient place.
A. AFER, Gmelin. PL 40, fig. 177.
Light brown ; aperture sillonated within and dentate at the
margin, slightly channeled behind. Length, 1 inch.
Senegal.
A. BLOSVILLEI, Desh. PL 40, figs. 178-180.
Livid brown or bluish or pale yellow ; sometimes the revolving-

Length, T75 inches.
Red Sea; Ceylon ; Bay of Manilla ; rocky places at low water.
70 CLAVELLA, BUCCINOFUSUS.
Fasus lividus, Phil. (fig. 180), is usually considered identical
with this species.
Var. HEPTAGONALIS, Reeve. PI. 40, fig. 181.
In this variety some of the longitudinal ribs coallesce, so that
those remaining are not only fewer in number, but they are also
wider.
Genus CLAVELLA, Swainson.
Only one recent species can be referred properly to this fossil
genus, which is the C. serotina, the type of Hinds' genus Cyrtulus.
The three other recent species referred to it by H. and A. Adams
are members of other genera :
C. avellana, Reeve, is a Cronia. Vol. II, p. 180.
C. dislorta, Reeve, belongs to the Pisaniinse.
C- subrostrata, Gray, belongs to the Melongeniinse.
C. SEROTINA, Hinds. PI. 40, fig. 182.
Pale yellowish or flesh-color ; within light rosy or white.
Length, 3*5 inches.
NukaMva, Marquesas, in 9 fathoms, among sand.
A thick and heavy shell which would probablv be equally well
placed in Melongeniinse ; or in Turbinellida?, as some specimens
show incipient folds on the columella.
Genus BUCCINOFUSUS, Conrnd.
The single recent species referred by Conrad to his genus has
since been made the type of Boreofusus, Sars which, of course,
becomes a synonym. The dentition, only, separates this from
Siplio, several species of which might be regarded as either iden-
tical, or varieties at most. When the lingual armature of these
allied forms shall become known their definite position can be
ascertained ; at present I prefer to leave them all in Sipho.
Jeffreys thus describes the animal :
Body white or cream-color, with a slight tinge of flesh-color ;
mantle sometimes edged with brown; pallial tube extensile,
occasionally protruded beyond the canal, with an expanded or
trumpet-shaped opening ; proboscis exceedingly long, measuring
nearly two 'inches even when contracted after the death of the
animal ; tentacles conical, rather short, and close together, with
uucc'iNoprsus. 71
bluntly pointed tips ; eyes small and black, seated on long stalks,
about half wa}^ up the tentacles ; foot lanceolate, thick, rounded
and double-edged in front ; tail either pointed or blunt and some-
what truncated.
B, BERNICIENSIS, King, PL 40, figs. 183, 184.
Whorls encircled with alternately larger and smaller revolving
ridges, decussated by fine growth-lines ; lip margin slightly
everted ; shell thin, white, under a very thin, light olive epider-
mis. Length, 3 inches.
North Sea ; French Coast, occasionally ; Circumpolar ?
Dredged in fine sand 78 to 090 fathoms. Jeffreys cites varie-
ties eleganSj tener and inflata. He says that " the young, when
fresh-caught and living, look like tiny rosebuds." The color of
foil-grown specimens (especially of the inside) is not less beauti-
ful ; these may vie with
.... "The dappled shells
That drink the wave with such a rosy mouth."
Middendorff, Adams and Kobelt think that F. Sabinii, Gray,
is the young of this species ; if so, that name would have priority ;
but the species is unfigured, and doubtful. Jeffreys refers it
doubtfully to Sipho ventricosus.
B. TEREBRALIS, Gould. PI. 39, fig. 189.
Yellowish brown, columella tinged pallid rosaceous. Labrum
effused. Length, 2*25 inches.
Spitsbergen.
If not identical with the preceding species, it is very closely
allied to it. Gould's type had a broken lip, but he refers besides
to a perfect specimen in the Cumingian Collection ; this after-
wards became the type of Fusus Spitzbergenxis, Reeve.
Sub-Family PTYCHATRACTINJE.
This group was distinguished as a family by Stimpson. The
shell of Ptychatractus unites the form of a Sipho with the folds
of a Fasciolaria ; its small size, color, and northern habitat will
distinguish it from the latter, even without taking into account
the very diverse dentition ; yet without the latter difference it
would scarcely have been advisable to have separated the single
species upon which the genus was founded from Fasciolaria.
PTYCHATRAOTUS.
Mr. Stearns has added a second species, which may not be dis-
tinct ; and I place here (because I must place it somewhere) the
Fusus Coreanicus of Mr. E. A. Smith.
Genus PTYCHATRACTTTS, Stimpson.
P. LIGATUS, Mighels and Adams. PL 40, fig. 185.
Shell light reddish brown. Length, *t5 inch.
Coasts of Maine, Nova Scotia ; Gulf of St. Lawrence ;
in deep water.
Operculum like that of Fusus.
P. OCCTDENTALIS, Stearns.
Shell elongated, fusiform, rather slender, whitish, traversed by
narrow, revolving, brownish threads and much wider intervening
spaces ; suture distinct, spire tapering ; aperture oblong-oval,
about half the length of the shell ; within white, polished ; canal
short, nearly straight ; columella obliquely, not strongly plicated.
Length, -15 inch.
Isle of Nagai, one of the Shumagin Islands. Forty fathoms.
More delicate than the Atlantic species, although the single
specimen was not quite mature. This specimen having been
mislaid, Mr. Stearns has not yet figured it. It must be con-
sidered a doubtful species for the present, as the description
presents no features by which the shell can be positively dis-
tinguished.
P. COREANICUS, E. A. Smith. PL 40, fig. 186.
Whorls slightly longitudinally costate and encircled by about
twelve revolving ridges, which are alternately smaller. Dirty,
diluted flesh-color, the ribs stained with dark brown ; fuscous
within the aperture. Columella smooth, arcuate above, very
oblique inferiorly ; canal short, slightly retro verted.
Length, 22 mill.
Japan.
The evanescent ribs are sometimes indicated very obscurely
on P. ligatus. Nothing is said about columellar folds, but these
are sometimes not apparent on P. ligatus. The general form of
the shell is so nearly that of Ptychatractus, that I do not know
where else to place it with equal probability of giving it its
correct position.
MEYERIA, FASCIOLARIA. 73
Genus MEYERIA, Dunker and Metzger.
The dentition of the problematical mollusk which has rejoiced
within the short period of our scientific knowledge of it under so
many names, appears to relate it somewhat to Ptychatractus, and
I prefer to place it in the same sub-family with that shell, rather
than make a new family for it. Norman shows that Meyeria is
pre-occupied by McCoy for a genus of fossil crustaceans, and he
therefore proposes the generic name Metzgeria ; but I see no
advantage (and much disadvantage) in changing names because
they happen to have been previously used in some other depart-
ment of zoology.
M. ALBA, Jeffreys. PI. 39, figs. 190-193.
Fusiform, dirty white ; whorls six or seven, moderately con-
vex, suture distinct ; longitudinally plicately costate, crossed
by revolving striae ; lips smooth, columella twisted, very obso-
letely biplicate ; canal somewhat twisted, open.
Length, 18 mill.
Faroe Isles ; North Sea ; Norway.
Prof. G. 0. Sars makes this name a synonym of M. ( Tritonium)
pusilla, M. Sars (figs. 191, 192); but the latter name, given in
1858, was neither accompanied by diagnosis, distinctive characters,
nor figure. I therefore cannot adopt it.
Sub-Family FASCIOLARIIN^E.
Genus FASCIOLARIA, Lam.
The animal of Fasciolaria does not differ essentially from that
of Fusus, nor do we find very much difference in the shells ; the
usually shorter spire, more swollen body-whorl, wider and shorter
and flexuous instead of straight canal, and the oblique plaits
near the fore-end of the columella, are the chief distinguishing
characters. Between Fasciolaria and Fulgur the resemblance is
much closer, and, until the dentition of the two groups became
known, they were placed close together by systematists ; in
Fulgur, however, the scarcely apparent folding of the columella
is single, whilst in Fasciolaria it is double, sometimes triple.
The Peristerniinse have columellar folds, but these are usually
more transverse, are situated higher on the columella, and the
shells are much smaller ; indeed one of the characteristics of the

74 FASCIOLARJA.
Fasciolarias is the comparatively large size of the species. The
distribution of the genus is tropical and sub-tropical, in shallow
waters. But few living species are known, to which may be
added some fossil forms, commencing with the cretaceous. The
operculum is more claw-shaped than that of Fusus, and is rather
large, filling the aperture.
I have figured the nidimental capsules of F. tulipa, Linn., in
Vol. II, PL 7, figs. 77, 81.
* Shell not nodulous or shouldered.
F. TULIPA, Linn. PI. 59, figs. 1-5.
Color white or bluish-ash or orange, irregularly mottled with
orange, chestnut or chocolate ; encircled with chestnut-brown
narrow lines, which are sometimes engraved. Aperture and
columella blush or orange, with revolving lines of chestnut
within. Length, 4 to 8 inches.
West Indies, Southern Atlantic Coast of United States,
from N. Carolina, southwards.
Krebs found it in two to six feet of water, on sand and small
stones, where Algse are growing, and where the sea is calm.
The color-varieties are very numerous, including, not fre-
quently, one of a uniform dark mahogany, with black revolving
lines, and the following, which has been usually accepted as a
distinct species, and may be retained as a variety.
Var. DISTANS, Lam. Fig. 5.
The revolving colored lines are less numerous than in the type,
the more prominent ones, to the number of about a half-dozen,
being retained on the body-whorl, whilst the intermediate ones
are absent. The shell does not usually grow to such a large size
as the typical form. Inhabits the same localities. In the
numerous specimens before me, I have abundant evidence that
the variety originates from the type, in the unbroken series
of intermediate stages of coloration. I figure a rugose form
which Dunker intended at one time to describe as F. Scheepmakeri,
but finally illustrated in his " Novitates " as a variety of F.
tulipa (fig. 3).
F. canaliculata, Valenciennes, described as from Acapulco,
Pacific Coast of Mexico, has never been figured nor positively

identified. Carpenter remarks upon the resemblance of the
description to F. tulipa ; I have but little doubt that it should be
considered a synonym, and that the locality is erroneous.
* * Shell shouldered, but not tuberculate.
F. LUGUBRIS, Reeve. PL 59, figs. 6, T.
Fleshy-brown, covered with a dark olive-brown epidermis.
Length, 2*5-3 inches.

F. badia, Krauss (fig. 7), described a year subsequent to F.
lugubris, and from the same locality, is evidently synonymous.
* * * Shell shouldered and tuberculate.
F. PBINCEPS, Sowb. PI. 60, figs. 11, 17.
Nodulous on the shoulder, distantly spirally ridged, interstices
concave, spirally striate. Light orange, covered with a per-
sistent chestnut-brown epidermis ; columella and interior of
aperture orange, the latter with close, revolving, raised red lines,
which sometimes tend to separate into groups resembling music
staves. Length, 6-9 inches.
Panama to-Mazatlan ; Peru f
P. P. Carpenter describes the operculum as " pyriforrn, apex
terminal ; outside with about five longitudinal furrows on the
middle and interior ; exterior with irregular diagonal ribs ; inside
with very large attachment, not corrugated." F. Reevei, Jonas
(fig. 17), is a poor, faded F. princeps, although it is stated in
Kiister to be " himmelweit " in its characters.
F. GIGANTEA, Kicner. PI. 60, figs. 14-16.
Shell yellowish-white, covered with a chestnut-brown epider-
mis ; flesh-color or yellowish within the aperture ; tubercles dis-
tant, large. Length, 1 to 2 feet.
South Carolina; West Indies, Brazil.
This is the largest known species of univalve shells. F, papil-
losa, Sowb. (figs. 15, 16), appears to be the young : it has priority,
but Kiener's name is so well known that I let it stand.
F. FILAMENTOSA, Lam. PI. 59, figs. 8-10 ; PI. 60, figs. 12, 13.

orange, the spiral grooves dark chestnut or blackish. Aperture

pair of which terminates in a marginal denticle.
Length, 4-6 inches. ;'&
Red Sea ; Ceylon ; Philippine IB. ; Australia ; Central Polynesia.
F. ferruginea, Lam. (fig. 12), is only a slim form of this
species, in which the nodules are scarcely apparent. Occasion-
ally there are no nodules, the shell being scarcely shouldered :
this state has been described by Jonas as F. inermis (fig. 13).
F. FUSIFORMIS, Valenciennes. PI. 61, figs. 18, 19.
Upper whorls rudely, plicately ribbed, lower whorls with re-
volving striae or ridges only. Epidermis brown, under which
the shell is light brown. Length, 3-4 inches.
So. Australia ; in grass wrack, 2 to 5 fathoms.
I doubt whether this is more than an extreme form of the pre-
ceding species.
F. AURANTIACA, Lam, PI, 61, figs. 20, 21 ; PI. 63, fig. 33.
Rugose, tuberculate on the shoulder, with occasional swollen
tubercles elsewhere on the body-whorl ; spirally grooved, the
grooves generally in pairs. Mottled reddish-orange and white,
under an olive or purple epidermis ; white within.
Length, 3-5 inches.
Coast of Brazil? Cape of Good Hope?
Both localities are somewhat uncertain. The species is wider,
but closely allied to F. filamentosa, a few specimens of which
have a tendency to tuberculation below the shoulder, in the same
manner as in F. aur'antiaca. F. purpurea, Jonas (fig. 27), is
founded apparently, on a specimen with epidermis. F. Persica,
Reeve, = clava, Jonas (fig. 33), is founded on the very ponder-
ous, adult form.
F. CROCATA, Phil. PI. 61, figs. 22, 23,
Shell yellowish, the revolving, elevated lines lighter in color.
Length, 3-4 inches.
Yucatan; Guiana.
The original figure and description (fig. 22) are from a young
shell ; that of Kuster (fig. 23) represents a more mature speci-
men. The nearest species appears to be F. filamentosa which
is from an entirely different habitat. This species does not

appear in the Swift West Indian Collection, and I have, therefore,
some slight doubt of the correctness of the localities.
t 1 . TRAPEZIUM, Linn. PL 61, figs. 24-26 ; pi. 62, figs. 27, 28.
Thick, ponderous ; whorls slanting on the shoulder, armed
'with a row of tubercles, which, in old specimens, become large
and thick. Flesh-color, beneath a yellowish brown epidermis,
encircled by brown, engraved lines, which are approximated in
pairs ; aperture flesh-color, with revolving brown, raised lines.
Length, 4-8 inches.
Philippines ; Java; China ; Red Sea ; Auckland Is. ?
Among the forms of this species several have received specific
names ; among these I figure F. Lischkeana, Dunker (fig. 27), a
rather smooth form, the nodules not being developed ; F. Au-
douini, Jonas (figs. 24, 25), which is somewhat more slim than
the type, and differs somewhat in color. F. ponderosa, Jonas
(fig. 28), which, at first sight, appears sufficient!} 7 distinct, I am
able to connect with the t} T pical form by intermediate stages ;
it is very ponderous, the tubercles projecting outwards like spines
from the angle of the shoulder.
F. HEYNEMANNI, Dunker. PI. 62, fig. 29.
Flesh-color, under a yellowish olive epidermis.
Length, 3-5 inches.
Natal, So. Africa.
Evidently described from a worn specimen : it is very doubt-
ful whether it has any good claim to recognition as a species.
F. CORONATA, Lam. PL 63, figs. 34, 30.
Light yellowish brown or flesh-color, under a thin, olive-brown
epidermis. Length, 4-7 inches.
Philippines; Australia; Tasmania.
The spire is longer, the tuberculations closer, and consequently
more numerous than in F. salmo, Wood ; and perhaps the shell
is not quite so heavy : but these are differences of degree onty,
and sometimes a F. salmo is met with which very reasonably
fulfils the above bill of particulars. There is a wide difference
of locality between the two forms, and I therefore allow them
both to remain for the present, but with considerable desire to
merge them under the .name of F. coronata.

Light flesh-color or yellowish, the very thin epidermis
yellowish brown ; aperture flesh-color. Length, 4-5 inches.

The spire is short, giving the species very much the appear-
ance of a Busycon or Fulgur.
Var. GRANOSA, Brod. Fig. 32.
Still larger, measuring 5-7 inches. Edge of aperture and
columella tinged with orange. Epidermis darker colored, covered

Gray states that the animal of F. salmo is bright red. See
remarks under preceding species.
F. Valenciennesij Kiener (fig. 35), is a F. salmo with the nodules
but slightly developed.

This species has a rude, solid growth, usually appearing as if
water-worn ; the sculpture being somewhat rounded and indis-

F. RUFA, Reeve. PL 33, fig. 38.
Reddish brown, interior white ; revolving ridges indistinct or
lost, except upon the ribs. Length, 2-25 inches.

Described as a Fusus, but the strong resemblance of Reeve's
figure to the foregoing species induces me to place it here.

P. SULCATA, Lesson. Acapulco.
F. RUGOSA, Yal. Acapulco. A young shell ; perhaps Latirus.

Anton's species, these have never been identified.
Sub-Family PERISTERNIIN.E.
Kobelt, in Kiister's Conchy lien Cabinet, has divided the species
among the several generic groups, and arranged them in accord-
PERI STERN IA. 79
ance with their relationships, I have mainly followed this ar-
rangement, although it is certainly far from perfect. The
difficulty is, that whilst the genera hold good in a general way
as roughly indicating several great groups of species, there are
species which unite these characters in such manner that to ar-
range them in either group does violence to some of their
affinities.
Besides Kobelt, Kiener and Reeve have monographed these
shells the work of Kobelt being the most complete, and con-
taining most of the species which I shall here describe and
figure.
(lenus PERISTEENIA, Morch.
P. PICTA, Reeve. PL 64, fig, 39.
White, more or less completely covered with chestnut, or
chestnut and orange narrow revolving lines ; columella and in-
terior of aperture blush color. Length, 1-1-25 inches.
Viti Isles.
P. BELCHERI, Reeve. PI. 64, fig. 40.
White, with dark chocolate or blackish longitudinal flames or
blotches, and revolving bands ; epidermis light yellow ; aperture
white within.
Cargados Garajos, Indian Ocean ; on coral. Liukiu Is.
Very closely allied to the preceding species.
P. AUSTRALIENSIS, Reeve. PL 64, fig. 41.
White, ornamented between the ribs by dark chocolate square
blotches ; aperture yellowish, with two interrupted bold brown
bands. Length, 1-25 inches.
Port Essington, Australia.

Chocolate-brown, variegated and banded with white ; aperture
white or purplish within. Length, 1-25 inches.
Philippines.

White, base dark chocolate, with three more or less interrupted
brown bands ; aperture rosaceous, columella stained with black.
Length, 1 inch.

80 PERISTERNIA.
I suspect that this is merely a rather slim specimen of P.
Philberti, which is itself, possibly a mere variety of P. nassa-
tula. Lam.
P. NASSATULA, Lam. PL 64, figs. 44-47, 51, 52, 58.
Light yellowish-brown, deeper in the interstices of the ribs ;
aperture light purple. Length, 1-1*75 inches.
Red Sea ; Indian Ocean ; Philippines ; New Guinea ;
New Caledonia ; Paumotus.
P. sub-nassatula, Souverb. (fig. 52), is founded on a single
specimen in which the ribs are undeveloped ; it is from New
Caledonia. P. Deshayesii, Kobelt (fig. 47), is a small form,
without sufficient permanence to constitute a variety. P. Fors-
kalii, Tapparone (fig. 51), is a long, slim form from the Red
Sea, which may be separated as a variety. P. microstoma,
Kobelt (fig. 58), from Mauritius, is the same.
P. WAGNERI, Anton. PL 64, figs. 59-62.
White or yellowish, interruptedly marked with chestnut spots
between the ribs, forming three revolving rows of maculations ;
aperture white within. Length. 1-1-5 inches.
Viti Islands Garrett.
This unfortunate shell, misunderstood by Reeve and others, is
certainly quite distinct from the species with which it has been
confounded. I figure Turbinella craticulata, Wagner (not Lam.),
upon which Anton founded the name (fig, 62) ; also T. crenulata,
Reeve, not Kiener (fig. 61), Purpura Bucciniformis, Kiener
(fig. 59), and T. tigriha, Hombr. et Jacq. (fig. 60), the latter
being a young shell.
P. SPINOSA, Martyn. PL 64, figs. 48-50.
Body-whorl biangulate, and spinose on the angles ; white,
banded, especially on the lower part, with chestnut or chocolate ;
aperture light purple. Length, 1-1-5 inches.
Viti and Friendly Islands.
P. iostoma, Nuttall (but never described by him), is figured in
Kuster's monograph, and referred to the coast of California.
The figure (fig. 50) represents very fairly a P. spinosa, and the
locality is, of course, erroneous.
PERTSTERNIA. 81
P. SPINOSA, Gray.
Shell fusiform, white, covered with a smooth brown periostra-
cum ; whorls seven, upper ones with a series of conical tubercles,
the last with distinct spiral ridges and a sub-posterior series of
conical spines ; canal sub-cylindrical, with the mouth about as
long as the spire ; throat ridged ; pillar with three very slight
plaits.
Sierra Leone.
This species, the type of which is said to be in the British
Museum, was described over forty years ago, but not figured.
It has not been recognized by subsequent authors. It appears
to correspond in some degree with P. spinosa, Mart, The name
being pre-occupied, I would give it another if I knew the species
to be a good one.
P. PULCHELLA, Reeve. PI. 64, figs. 53-57.
Fulvous brown, sometimes white, with brown bands ; aperture
violet. Length, 1-1 -10 inches.
Zanzibar; New Caledonia.
Var. MARIEI, Crosse (fig. 57). Brown or white, with brown
bands and base ; whorls with a more defined shoulder than in
the type.
New Caledonia.
I think that P. Sutons, Kobelt (fig. 56), described from a
single specimen, locality unknown, is identical.
P. INCARNATA, Desh. PL 65, figs. 63-66, 69, 70.
Orange-brown, aperture rosy. Length, *75-l'30 inches.
Philippines ; Indian Ocean ; Red Sea.
Eicinula pulchra, Reeve (fig. 64), appears to be the same
species ; it has the teeth on the outer lip characteristic of Sis-
trum, but there are two folds on the columella.
Var. ELEGANS, Dunker. Fig. 65.
Yellowish brown, with dark brown between the revolving ribs ;
whitish within. Length, '66 to 1 inch.
Viti Isles.
P. gemmata, Rousseau, non Reeve (fig. 66), is probably the
same form.
11
82 PERISTERNIA.
P. lauta, Reeve (fig. 69), I am inclined to place here also; it
appears to be somewhat worn. I add a figure from Kiister (fig.
70), which is somewhat like the next species.
P. CAROLINA, Kiener. PL 65, figs. 67, 68, 83.
Flesh-color or reddish with two dark chocolate bands ; roseate
within the aperture. Length, '66 to 1 inch.
Mauritius, Philippines.
Very close in sculpture and form to the preceding species;
distinguished by its coloration. Eicinula bella, Reeve (fig. 83),
is a synonym.
P. CLATHRATA, Yalenc. PI. 65, fig. 92.
White, tinged with pink, aperture white.
Length, 1-1*25 inches.
Habitat unknown.
At first I was inclined to place this among the numerous forms
of P. incarnata, Desh., but the discovery of three specimens in
the Collection of the Philada. Academy, all corresponding closely
with the figure of the type in Kiener, induces me to consider it
provisionally distinct. It is rather larger and thinner than P.
incarnata, the ribs are narrower and more numerous, the canal
more produced , the outer lip is not thickened nor dentate on the
margin, the color is entirely different.
P. LIRATA, Pease. PU 65, fig. 71.
Orange-yellow on the longitudinal ribs, chocolate in the inter-
stices, the revolving ridges occasionally spotted with white ;
aperture and columella saffron-yellow ; covered with a thin,
membranous epidermis, roughened longitudinally.
Length, 30 mill.
Marquesas Isles.
P. GEMMATA, Reeve. PI. 65, figs. 72, 74,
Light yellow, longitudinal ribs narrower and more numerous
than in P. lirata ; chocolate, occasionally spotted with white ;
revolving sculpture impressed, instead of being ridged, as in P.
lirata. Length, 30 mill.
Taheiti ; Western Polynesia.
P. lirata was figured by Reeve as a variety of gemmata ; Pease
subsequently distinguished it. Though at first sight very similar
PERISTERNIA. 83
in general appearance, my specimens show very constantly the
differential characters of the diagnosis.
P. GRANATA, Koch. PI. 65, fig. 73.
Whitish, covered by brown tubercles formed at the intersection
of the longitudinal and revolving sculpture ; lip five-dentate
within ; columella with two obscure folds below.
Length, 4 inches.
Habitat unknown.
Evidently a young shell. It was described as a Fusus, but is
either a Peristernia, in which case it may be a worn specimen of
a young P. gemmata, Reeve, or else it is a Ricinula, and then,
perhaps, = young of E. concatenata, Bl.
P. CHLOROSTOMA, Sowb. PL 65 , figs. 75-82, 84, 91.
Shell whitish or yellowish, with an interrupted chestnut or
chocolate central band, and the sutures and base of shell tinged
with the same colors. Length, -7 5-* 85 inch.
.Sandwich Islands; New Zealand ; Philippines ; Andaman Isles.
The earliest description, by Sowerby, gives no figure nor
locality, -but is sufficiently distinctive for certain identification.
P. chlorostoma, Nuttall, and P. xanthostoma, Nuttall, are both
unpublished names, but widely circulated. P. crocea, Gray, was
likewise published without a figure, but fourteen years later.
To these are to be added the subsequent names of P. Newcombi
and P. stigmataria, A. Ad., P. scabrosa, Reeve, P. solida, Reeve.
P. scabrosa, Reeve (fig. 78), said to come from Tonga Taboo
(by Dunker), does not offer any distinctive characters except the
absence of the spots, and these are present in a form (fig. 79)
figured by Dunker as var. gracilior. The brown coloring is
entirety absent in some Sandwich Island specimens before me.
P. crenulata, Kiener,* '(fig. 80), is evidently the same species.
Reeve has misconceived it, and figured for it an entirely different
shell (P. Wagneri, Anton), as pointed out by Mr. Tapparone-
Canefri, who reports the species from the Aru Islands. P. Wag-
neri, Anton, var. Samoensis, as figured by Kiister (fig. 82), is also
identical, whilst the P. craticulata. Wagner (not Gmelin), for
which Anton proposed his name Wagneri, is another species.
* Craticulata by error on his plate.
84 PERISTERNIA.
I add also to the synonymy P. decor ata, A. Ad. (fig 91),
which, according to Mr. E. A. Smith's careful description can be
no other than this species : the necklace-like rows of tubercles
beneath the sutures are developed in several specimens of chloros-
toma before me.
P. USTULATA, Reeve. PI. 65, figs. 85-90.
Reddish brown, sometimes darker beneath the periphery and
at the sutures, dark chocolate at base of shell.
Length, 1-1 '4 inches.
New Caledonia, Viti Isles, Tonga Taboo,
Mauritius, Indian Ocean.
The sculpture is not unlike the preceding species, but the color
differs, and the shell is not only larger, but narrower, with longer
spire and canal. The dark base is a character in common with
P. chlorostoma ; otherwise, the species varies greatly, particu-
larly in sculpture, and has thus received several names. These
synonyms are P. Caledonica, Petit (fig. 87), P. irieolor, Hombr.
et Jacq. (fig. 88), P. infracincta, Kobelt (fig. 89), which is a
light colored variety with a dark, interrupted, sub-sutural band,
and P. Marquesana, A. Adams (fig. 90).
P. MACULATA, Reeve. PI. 66, figs. 93, 94.
Yellowish white, irregularly stained and variegated with red
blotches ; the nodules upon the ribs whitish. Length, 1 inch.
Mauritius. Robill ard.
Is perhaps only a variety of the preceding species. P. macu-
lata, Hombr. et Jacq., described from a single specimen, is
evidently the same species.
P. NANA, Reeve. PL 66, fig. 95.
Yellowish brown ; columella pink, Length, 1 inch.
Java. Dunker.
Resembles P. maculata, Rve., so closely that I suspect it to be
a light colored form of it.
P. BICOLOR, Kobelt. PI. 66, fig. 96.
Whitish, purple-brown between the ribs, on the last whorl two
rows of purple spots in the interstices ; mouth and apex yellowish.
Length, 1/6 inch.
Locality unknown.
PEBISTERNIA. 85
Not unlike P. ustulata, Rve., and may be only a large variety
of it.
P. DESPECTA, A. Ad. PI. 66, figs. 91, 98.
Yellowish or reddish brown, ornamented with white spiral
lirse, base of canal dark chocolate. Length, '8-1 inch.
China ; New Zealand.
P. Zealandica, A. Ad. (fig. 98), is somewhat more slim, the
spire more produced than the type, but is otherwise indistin-
guishable.
P. SQUAMOSA, Pease. PI. 66, fig. 99.
Orange-yellow, nearly white at the base of the shell and beneath
the sutures where the ribs become spinose ; light roseate within
the aperture. Length, 1*25 inches.
Baker's Island.
P. ROLLANDI, Bernardi. PI. 66, fig. 100.
Light orange-colored, yellowish within. Length, 41 mill.
New Caledonia.
Kobelt compares this to P. Caledonica, Petit (= ustulata,
Rve.), and suggests that it may prove to be a large, old speci-
men of that species ; it is very probable, although the figure and
description do not indicate the dark base characteristic of P.
ustulata. The figure reminds one of a Coralliophila.
P. NASSOIDES, Reeve. PI. 66, fig. 101.
Yellowish brown, with a central white band ; apex and aper-
ture rosy. Length, 1*5 inches.
Isl. of Ticao, Philippines ; upon coral reefs. Cuming.
The plications of the columella are obsolete, so that it is very
doubtful whether this is a true Peristernia. Reeve and Kobelt
are both uncertain as to its generic position. I have seen no
specimen, and therefore leave the shell where my predecessors,
in the exercise of their best judgment, have placed it. Is it per-
chance a Hindsia ?
P. SCABEA, Souv. PI. 66, fig. 102.
Chocolate-brown, lighter on the ribs. Length, 15 mill.
New Caledonia.
86 PERISTERNIA.
Only a single specimen known, which is in the Bordeaux
Museum.
P. NOUMEENSIS, Crosse. PI. 66, fig. 103.
Ashy, with three orange-colored bands ; purplish within.
Length, 11*5 mill.
New Caledonia.
This shell is so close to the preceding, that I have very little
doubt that they will prove to be identical.
P. FUSCOZONATA, Angas PI. 66, fig. 104.
White, with a more or less interrupted, broad, brown band on
the periphery appearing above the sutures on the spiral whorls.
Length, 14 mill.
So. Australia.
Described as a' Siphonalia because there are no distinct plaits
on the columella, but I think that Kobelt is correct in referring
it to the Peristerniinae. It looks something like a young Triton
chlorostoma, Lam.
P. GIBBA, Pease. PI. 68, fig. 143.
Ribs white, interstices pale purple-violet, sometimes iridescent ;
aperture deep violet. Length, 1.3 mill.
Howland Isl.
An aberrant form, quite distinct.
P. GRANULOSA, Pease. PI, 66, fig. 105.
Shell elongately fusiform, longitudinally ribbed, ribs nine,
rounded, corded with transverse ridges, with a small granose
ridge encircling the interstices ; whorls angulated and slightly
excavated at the upper part, angulation encircled by close-set
granulose ridges ; outer lip lirate within ; whorls convexly
rounded ; color reddish-brown, granules lighter, aperture violet.
Length, 22 mill.
Paumotus Is.

found the description of this species.

LATIRUS. 87
P. NODULOSA, A. Ad. Not figured. Australia.
P. LUCULENTA, H. & A. Ad. White, with a broad flesh-colored
band in the middle of the nodosely plicate whorls, and with a
series of rufous-dotted spiral lirae at the fore-part of the last
whorl. Dimensions not given ; not figured. Gulf of Mexico.
P. VIBEX, Brod, Turrited, seven-varicose, varices subnodose,
transversely sulcate ; subluteus, aperture white, sulcate within ;
margin of labrum crenulate ; canal very short ; epidermis fus-
cous, rugose. Length, 1*63 inches, lat., 1 inch.
St. Elena and Panama; sandy mud, six to twelve fathoms.
" This shell appears to be intermediate between Murex and
Turbinella. It has the varices of the former, and the plaits on
the columella which distinguish the latter."
Described as a Murex, and referred by Sowerby to Pollia
(= Cantharus). Not figured.
Genus LATIRUS, Montfort.
As already stated in my synopsis of the genera, the diagnosis
of this genus is very unsatisfactory, its distinction from Peris-
ternia being entirely arbitrary. One of its characters is that the
shell is umbilicated, yet perhaps half of its species are utterly
without perforation, whilst those which possess it, show only a
narrow opening, except when abnormal in growth like L. Ma-
derensis. Swainson's group Plicatella has been adopted by
Messrs. Adams as a subgenus of Latirus, having " spire moder-
ate, whorls angular, concavely depressed around the upper part,"
but these are only comparative characters, and I prefer to sup-
press the group rather than place in it species having no relation
thereto, as Messrs. Adams have done. The umbilicus shows
more distinctly in most of the species of Latirus than in those
of Peristernia, but in some of them it is not any better marked ;
Latirus, however, differs in form from Peristernia, the species
having longer spire and canal, the columella generally straight,
the plications more central, simply because the canal is more
produced.
The animals of most of the species that have been observed,
are of a dull red color.
88 LATIEUS.

Deshayes considered this a variety of L. cariniferus, which it
may well be ; it is, however, proportionally narrower, the inter-
tubercular raised belt on the body whorl is not so wide, and the
umbilicus is much wider.

Dark brownish yellow, lighter on the revolving ridges, and
chestnut-brown in their interstices upon the ribs ; yellowish brown
within. Length, 2 inches.

Very like L. recurvirostris in form, but is smaller, and has not
the wide open umbilicus of that species.

Yellowish to chestnut-brown, darker in the interstices of the
ribs ; white or light yellowish within the aperture.
Length, 1-5 to 2'5 inches.
Madeira ; West Indies.
This species is certainly ve^ closely allied to the preceding ;
having much the same form and the large, open umbilicus.
Watson gave it a new generic name Cliascax, and states that
the inner lip is quite smooth ; this, however, may be due to the
bad condition of his very insufficient material, the specimen
figured by him showing dentations within the border of the lip,
which he states to be caused by the borings of annelids. West
Indian specimens before me, in much better condition are lighter
in color, larger, and have three not prominent columellar plaits,
Turbinella Stokesii, Gray, from Porto Praya, Cape Yerd Isles, a
species which has never been figured or identified, corresponds
in description somewhat with this species.

Kobelt (in Kiister, Conch. Cab.) considers this = Fusus con-
strictus Koch, which was published during the same year. The
latter I have referred to Coralliophila, because the figure and de-
scription afford no evidence of columellar plaits, and the umbilical
fasciole is fringed as in that genus.

Described as a Fusus, without locality, and said to have no
plaits on the columella; it has the facies of a Latirus, however,
and appears to be nearty allied to the preceding species.
L. spadiceuSj Reeve (fig. 130) can scarcely be distinguished
as a different species. The latter is said by C. B. Adams to oc-
cur at Panama. I include also L.concentricus, Reeve (fig. 142),
which occurs at St. Elena and Acapulco.

Most of the specimens before me have a well-marked posterior

Genus LEUCOZONIA, &ray.
The most prominent character of this genus, when present, is
the tooth which arises from the fore-part of the outer lip. It
varies greatly in its development in the different species. In
L. cingulata, in which it is always present, it is long, curved and
tusk-like, so that the species has been erroneously arranged with
Monoceros, from which it is instantly distinguished l>y its claw-
like operculum and columellar plaits. In the other species it is
sometimes entirely absent in some specimens, whilst well-devel-
oped in others. There is usually a posterior subchannel to the
aperture. The sculpture does not vary essentially from that, ef
the species of Latirus, but the color is usually a chestnut-brown,
the only ornamentation being lighter or darker revolving bands.
Usually the species are prominently shouldered ; those which
have whorls rounded above constitute the sub-genus Lagena
which may be conveniently retained for them.
L. CINGULIFERA, Lam. PL 70, figs. 165-173.
Chestnut-brown, encircled below the periphery by a white
callous raised band, terminating in a tooth on the outer lip ;
apperture white, bluish or yellowish within.
Length, 1-2*5 inches.
MoutJi of the Gambia, W. Africa ; West Indies ;
Florida ; Brazil.
The specimens said to come from W. Africa are the largest,
but I have never seen any which can be referred to that locality
without doubt. The species is variable in its proportions and in
the prominence of its sculpture and has therefore received several
LEUCOZONIA. 95
names ; the numerous specimens before me, representing localities
from Florida, Central America, West Indies and Brazil, enable
me to place these in the synonymy. Figs. 166-168 represent
L. angularis, Reeve; Fig. 169 is L. Knorrii, Desh., from Hon-
duras and Brazil; Fig. 170 is L. Braziliana, d'Orb., also from
Brazil, and Fig. Ill represents the animal thereof; Fig. 173 is
L. rudis, Reeve.
L. inculta, Gould, described without figure or locality is very
probably a synonym. L. nassa, Gmel, is the oldest name for the
species, but he included L. leucozonalis in his species, and as
the subsequent name given by Lamarck has become universally
current, it seems advisable to adopt it.
L. TRISERIALIS, Lam. PI. 70, figs. 174-177.
Chestnut-brown, encircled with three rows of revolving, whitish
nodules ; aperture and columella white. Length 1-1*5 inches.
Isle St. Vincent ; W. Africa. Menke / BaJiia, Brazil.
The latter locality is for L. dubia, Petit (fig. 174). which
appears to me to be a somewhat depauperate variety of triserialis.
Another variety is Turbinella Hidalgoi, Crosse (fig. 177), which
develops three instead of the two lower rows of tubercles. Its
habitat is unknown.
L. MULTANGULA, Phil. PI. 70, fig. 187.
Yellowish-white, with brown strigations between the longitu-
dinal ribs. Length, 1-12 inches.
Yucatan.
There is but little doubt that this species, described as a
Fusus, really belongs to the Peristerniinae, as the columella is
said to be plicate at the base, and the form is not unlike speci-
mens of L. triserialis. It may equal that species, possibly, with
longitudinal ribs, developed at the expense of revolving ones.
It is an immature individual.
L. OCELLATA, Gmelin. PI. 70, figs. 178, 179.
Chestnut or chocolate, the raised portions white ; aperture
white. Length, 1-1-25 inches.
West Indies.
There is considerable variation in the form of this well-known
species, the spire being sometimes drawn out like the elate forms
of L. cingulifera, Lam.
96 LAGENA.
L. CINGULATA, Lam. PL 70, fig. 180.
Chestnut, with distant, flat, somewhat raised, revolving bands
of dark chocolate ; aperture white. Length, 1*5-2 inches.
Panama, to Mazatlan ; southern extremity of Florida,
W. W. Calkins.
Mr. Calkins is the only authority for the occurrence of this
common West Coast species in the Atlantic waters ; his locality,
however, is not to be doubted: besides, several other Pacific
species have been discovered recently on the Florida coast.
Subgenus Lagena, Schuua.
L. SUBROSTRATA, Gray. PI. TO, figs. 181, 182.
Yellowish brown, white within the aperture.
Length, 1-6 inches.
Bay of Montija, W. Columbia (in sandy mud, 12 fathoms Cuming).
L. agrestis, Anton (fig. 182), is founded on younger specimens
of this species. Its generic position is very doubtful ; Reeve
considers it a Pyrula ( Melongena), and H. and A. Adams
have put it in Clavella ; it is also allied to Cantharus distortus.
The columella plaits are sometimes obsolete.
L. LEUCOZONALIS, Lam. PL TO, figs. 183, 184.
Brown, with a white raised band below the periphery, ter-
minating in a tooth on the lip; upper part of whorls sub-
nodulous. Length, 1-1*5 inches.
West Indies ; Honduras.
Different as this species appears at first sight in its form and
want of distinct shoulder and tubercles, the re is almost sufficient
evidence to justify its being made a synonym of L. cingulifera.
L. SMARAGDULA, Linn. PL- 70, figs. 185, 186.
Chestnut-brown, closely encircled by numerous, narrow, equi-
distant white lines; aperture white. Length, 1-2 inches.
Philippines ; Viti Isles.
Undetermined Species of PeHsterniinae.
None of the following species have been figured, nor have they
been identified by the monographers of the Turbinellse.
TURBINELLA STRIATA, Gray. No locality.
BUCCINID^!. 97
T. (Fusus) SULCATA, Gray. No locality.

All without locality.
T. SPINOSA, Phil. China.
T. (FASCIOLARIA) BISTRTATA, Gould and Carpenter.
The small size (1*07 inches) and long canal render it im-
probable that this is a Fasciolaria, unless a very young speci-
men. Possibly a Latirus. Panama ; a single specimen.
T. (Fusus) ROSA-PONTI, Lesson. Gambier Is.
T. TAHEITENSIS, Lesson. Taheiti.
T. PURPUROIDES, Lesson. Gambier Is.
Family BUCCINID^.
Shell ovate, oblong or pear-shaped ; canal moderate or short,
columella without folds or plications.
Operculum with terminal or lateral nucleus.
Dentition 1 1 1. The rhachidian tooth normally three
(sometimes as many as seven) pronged, the laterals two- or three-
pronged.
The t} T pical Buccinum is a rather thin ovate shell, uniform and
dull in color, with the base of the aperture broadly notched
instead of being prolonged (as in the Fusidse) into a canal ; but
with these have been more recently associated pyriform shells
having some resemblance to the latter family. Hemifusus,
Melongena, Sipho, etc., pretty well bridge the chasm between the
two families as far as the general form of the shell is concerned,
but in those species of Buccinidee approaching Fusus there is
the general distinction that the canal, if long, is wide and open ;
whilst tortuous as in Fasciolaria, it has at most a single fold in
lieu of the plaits on the columella of that genus. I have
arranged the subfamilies and genera, commencing with those
most closely allied to Fusus, and terminating with the buccinoid
forms. Although the range of form is great, it will be seen that
the transitions are not abrupt ; and in this case the lingual den-
tition affords confirmation of the grouping adopted upon conch-
ological grounds.

* Mr. Smith founds his genus principally upon the paucispiral opercu-
lum, but the figure given by him shows an operculum which is no more
curved than occurs sometimes in the genus Sipho, for example. This,
with the dentition indicates relationship with J^eptunea, but the absence
of canal in the shell on the other hand, relates it to Buccinum.

front. Operculum claw-shaped, nucleus apical. Dentition, PI. 27,
fig. 35.
* H. and A. Adams (Genera II, 615) make Adamsia, Dunker, a sub-genus
of Coiiiinclla ; the operculum and facies of the type show it, however, to
be a Purpura (See Manual, Vol. II, p. 156).

A comparison of numerous specimens indicates the very close relation-
ship of Bulbifusus, Conr., with this genus, which is itself entirely too close
to the recent group Volema. Bayle has changed the name to Sycum, be-
cause Leiostoma is preoccupied by Lacepede in Fishes. I cannot concur
in such changes, which would completely unsettle our nomenclature.

longer than aperture and canal ; surface smooth or minutely striate ;
aperture rhombic, outer lip broadly retreating above the middle, thin,

in a very short canal or a mere notch ; outer lip simple ; inner lip more or
less heavily incrusted. Surface marked by longitudinal ribs and revolving
lines.
B. PERFORATA, Gabb. PL 31, fig. 79. Cretaceous, California.
Genus PSEUDOBUCCINUM, Meek and Hayden. Shell oval, thin,
ventricose ; spire very short ; body volution large, not produced below ;
aperture large, terminating below in a rounded sinus ; outer lip thin and
simple ; inner lip very thin, smooth, and closely and very broadly folded
upon the imperforate umbilical region and body volution above, so as to
form, with a low revolving umbilical ridge, a kind of profoundly arcuate,
strongly spiral, false columella ; surface with more or less distinct revolv-
ing lines and furrows.
Meek is inclined to believe that Bullia ampullacea is a living example
of his genus ; if so, Volutharpa, Fischer, will have priority over Pseudo-
buccinum.
P. NEBRASCENSE, M. and H. PI. 31, fig. 78. Cretaceous, Moreau R.
Genus ODONTOBASIS, Meek. Shell buccinoid-fusiform , spire more
or less produced ; body volution ventricose, and separated below from the
short narrow beak, by a sharply defined, narrow, revolving sulcus, that
terminates below at the connection of the outer lip with the canal, in a
small tooth-like projection ; outer lip thin, smooth within, and nearly
straight in outline ; inner lip not thickened, but well-defined ; columella
a little twisted, slightly flattened, and bearing two oblique plaits below,
the lower one of which is formed by the raised lower edge of the obliquely
truncated columella, and the other, which is very obscure, or perhaps
sometimes obsolete, placed a little above the same ; surface ornamented by
vertical folds and revolving lines and furrows.
This genus referred doubtfully to the Buccinidse by Meek, seems to
unite characters of several different groups ; the shell is Buccinoid in form
and sculpture, but the fold and tooth remind one of Fasciolarise, whilst
the truncate columella recalls the Nassse.

Genus ECTRACHELIZA, Gabb. Shell accuminately oblong, spire
elevated (always truncated in the only species known). Surface com-

pressed near the suture. Inner lip incrusted ; columella sinuous, short ;
outer lip produced in advance.
This genus seems to be allied in many of its characters to Cominella
and Truncaria. Like them, it is compressed adjoining the suture. It
shows no trace of umbilicus, as seen in most of the Buccinidse, but its
most distinctive character is in its obliquely subtruncated columella,
which does not reach to the anterior end of the shell.
E. TRUNCATA, Gabb. PI. 31. fig. 80. Miocene, San Domingo, W- L
Genus BRACHYSPHINGUS, Gabb. Shell bucciniform, short, robust,

inner lip incrusted with a smooth callus ; surface longitudinally ribbed or
striate. Allied probably to Cominella or VolutJiarpa.
B. LIBATUS, Gabb. PI. 81, fig. 81. Cretaceous, California.
Genus LACINIA, Conrad. Globose ; pillar lip widely reflected, with
a heavy posterior callus ; basal emargination profound ; base dilated ;
aperture with a posterior channel ; outer lip simple.
L. ALVEATA, Conr. (=PYBULA SMITHII, Lea). PI. 31, fig. 84.
Eocene, Ala.
This does not differ very much from the -recent Cominella maculata,
Martyn.
Genus HAYDENIA, Gabb. Shell massive, allied, in general form, to
OUva, spire low. Outer lip simple, not thickened nor crenulate ; inner
lip incrusted, callus marked posteriorly, without teeth or folds ; canal
slightly recurved ; anterior extremity of the mouth notched, and a small
sinus at the posterior extremity of the aperture, where the outer lip unites
with the body- whorl. Surface ornamented as in some of the Buccinidse.
This curious form is probably a link between Buccinum and Volutharpa.

Genus BUCCITRITON, Conrad. Genus not characterized. One of the
typical specimens of B. Sagenum has a single varix on the back of the
the body-whorl but the other specimens are without it, so that its non-
absorption may be regarded as accidental. B. altum is a different type of
shell entirely, and looks something like a Truncaria.
Sagenella, Conrad, also un characterized, judging from the type, is
identical with Buccitriton.

MELONGENA. 107
Sub-Family MELONGENIIN^E.
Genus MELONGENA, Schum.
Kobelt, in his recently published monograph of Pyrula
(Conchylien Cabinet), adopts that genus, taking as subgenera
Cassidulus ( = Melongena), Myristica, Pugilina, Volema and
Hemifusus These groups which are too closely related coiicho-
logically as well as by their lingual dentition, Troschel also places
together, but without subordinating them to a higher group.
Pyrula would, indeed, be an excellent name on account of its
acceptance years ago for the major part of the species, but
unfortunately the first and only species cited by Lamarck in his
original description of the genus is the Bulla ficus, Linn., which
is a member of the genus Ficula, Swainson, over which it
has priority, and instead of which it should therefore be adopted.
Cassidulus j Humphrey, has priority over Melongena, but I can-
not adopt it as it is a mere catalogue name, not positively iden-
tified.
M. PATULA, Brod. and Sowb. PI. 41, figs. 194-196.
Chestnut-brown, banded with pale yellow or white ; aperture
and columella orange or yellowish flesh-color.
Length, 4-10 inches. P(m(ma tg Mazatlan ,
The animal has a yellowish, brown-spotted foot, elongate-
quadrangular in shape ; head long and narrow ; siphon chestnut-
color ; tentacula short, distant, straight, diverging.
Closely allied to the West Indian M. melongena, but may be
distinguished by its greater size and darker color. This species
develops no spines except at the shoulder of the whorl, where
they are irregularly produced, few in number, sometimes entirely
absent ; in M. melongena. although some specimens are equally
smooth and devoid of spines, there are usually on adult specimens
one to three rows of spines on the upper part of the body-whorl,
and an additional row half-way to the base of the whorl.

Bluish or chestnut-brown, with white bands ; same color and
bands within the aperture. Length, 2*5-4*5 inches.
Florida and West Indies.
The ordinary type of this species has erect or incurved scaly
spines on the edge of the square shoulder, usually crowded, with
a more or less prominent sub-basal series of spines ; sometimes
the latter is suppressed and sometimes the upper series is replaced
by two less prominent ones.
M. Belknapi, Petit (fig. 201), is synonymous. I figure also a
small variety (fig. 200) illustrated recently by Mr. Sowerby in
the Proc. Zool. Soc. London.
M. bispinosa, Phil. (fig. 203), is a variety of this species in
which the shoulder is encircled by a double girdle of spinose
tubercles, the upper one being most prominent. I have several
examples of this variety before me from Yucatan.
M. Martiniana, Phil. (fig. 202), appears to be a specimen of
this (or possibly of the next) species with the spines almost sup-
pressed.
Fusus bicolor, Say, described from immature specimens, has
not been identified properly heretofore : I am glad to be able,
from the examination of types sent to the Philada. Academy by
Mrs. Say, to identify it with M. corona.
M. GALEODES, Lam. PI. 42, figs. 204-208.
Pale brown, with the revolving ridges darker, or chestnut-
brown with the ridges whitish ; sometimes uniform cream-color ;
aperture usually white, brown-banded. The whorls are generally
frilled or scaly spinose at the sutural line, nodulous or spinose
on the shoulder, and sometimes with one or two lower lines of
spines, about equidistant one from another.
Length, 1*5-2*5 inches.
Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Singapore, China, Philippines.
Mr. Tapparone-Canefri, in his review of the Murices of the
Red Sea, distinguishes, under the name of calcaratus, Dillwyn,
MELONGENA. 109
the shell which Lamarck called Pyrula angulata, and which
Kiener figures (fig. 204). The very numerous suite of specimens
before me conclusively shows that all the various forms which I
have figured are conspecific.
M. BUCEPHALA, Lam. PI. 42, tig. 209.

Yellowish white. Length, 1-25-1 -15 inches.
Mazatlan, W. Coast of Central America. ?
With this species I unite the following as synonyms :
M. anomaly, Reeve (figs. 212, 213), which is the adult state of
growth the variability of the species is shown by fig. 213, which
Reeve considers a variety of his anomala, M. lignaria, Reeve
(fig. 214), a form which is not adult, and Fusus Turbinelloides,
Reeve (fig. 215), is older, still not quite adult.
H. and A. Adams erroneously refer M. anomala, Reeve, to
Neptunea, in which the name is preoccupied; they therefore
changed it to Neptunea anceps.
The species might as well be referred to Siphonalia as here.
M. FUSIFORMIS, Blainv. PL 42. figs. 216-218.
White, more or less stained with rusty brown, under a fibrous
brown epidermis. Length, 2-2-5 inches.
St. Elena, W. Columbia, in crevices of rocks at low
water. Cuming. Peru. d'Orbigny.
This shell is apparently very closely related to Guma Kios-
quiformis (Vol. II, p. 200), but the operculum, according to
d'Orbigny, is not purpuroid. The resemblance, conchologically,
is much nearer Cuma than either Melongena or Siphonalia, and
I cannot help thinking that the great French naturalist was mis-
taken as to the operculum.
M. MYRISTICA, Reeve. PL 42, fig. 219.
Yellowish red, white within the aperture. Length, 28 mill.

M. SPADICEA, Kobelt. PI. 43, fig. 230.

Kobelt thinks it not improbable that this is an Austrofusus ;
I place it here on account of the coloration which corresponds
with Melongena.

M. PABADISIACA, Reeve. PI. 43, figs. 223-225.
Whitish or yellowish, either unhanded, or encircled with
numerous light brown bands , aperture flesh-yellow to orange ;
shoulder smooth or defined by low tubercles. Length, 2-3 inches.
Red Sea; Ceylon; Mozambique ; Natal.
The specific name is given by Reeve and others as of Martini,
who was not a binomial writer. I cannot cite him as authority
and in substituting Reeve I pass over several intervening, differ-
ent names given by other authors : the species is so well known
as paradisiaca that to change it would be inadvisable. A yellow
form, without tubercles (fig. 224), was called by Lamarck Pyrula
citrina ; whilst the tubercmate shells were named by him P.
nodosa.

principal one at the top of the aperture ; interior light brown or
bluish with revolving brown ridges ; shoulder with or without
rather distant compressed tubercles. Length, 3-7 inches.
W. Coast of Africa ; West Indies ; Brazil
This and the preceding species were placed by the Messrs.
Adams in the genus Hemifusus, but they are quite as closely
related in form to Melongena whilst their coloration is decidedly
that of the latter genus.
M. (MUREX) SQUAMOSA, Brod. PL 58, fig. 399.
Yellowish brown ; pink tinged, especially on the columella.
Length, 40 mill.
Payta, Peru.
This species has been neglected by recent monographers.
The only figure is in Sowerby's Conch. Illustrations. The want
of real varices and thin outer lip removes it from Murex, and
it cannot be a Fusus, as Sowerby conjectures, that genus being
now restricted to the spindle-shaped shells, with long canal. I
locate it here, not knowing how to dispose of it otherwise.
M. (PYRULA) PLICATA, Lam.
M. Deshayes has not been able to identify this species.
Genus HEMIFTJSUS, Swainson.
Besides being thinner, the shells of this genus are distinguished
from Melongena, by being white (without bands or other color
markings) under a light yellowish brown epidermis. They differ
from Fusus in the flexuous, wider, open canal, which is widened
gradually into the lower portion of the aperture.

H. TUBA, Gmelin. PL 44, fig. 23t.
Yellowish flesh-color, under a brownish yellow, thin epidermis ;

The broad shoulder and prominent spines or tubercles well
distinguish this well-known species from its congeners.
Genus THATCHERIA, Angas.
Shell angularly pyriform, solid ; spire prominent, shorter than
the aperture, many whorled, whorls flattened above, strongly
keeled at the periphery and contracted below ; aperture with a
broad incurved sinus between the extremity of the last keel and
the junction of the body -whorl ; basal canal wide and open ;
columella smooth ; outer lip simple below the sinus.

That this shell is a scalariform monstrosity cannot be doubted,
but what may be its normal form is not so readily ascertained,

NEPTUNE A. 113
I saw the single specimen from which the above generic descrip-
tion was made, when in London, in 1877, and was immediately
convinced that the conical form, flattened shoulders and sinus
were all due to distorted growth. In the Annals of the Malacol.
Soc. of Belgium is figured a monstrosity of Strombus Luhuanus,
which I have copied for comparison (figs. 240, 241). I may here
also include a notice of Pyrula Benyalina, Grat., evidently also
a monstrosity,
PYRULA BENGALINA, Grat. PL 44, fig. 242.
Thin, fragile, transversely striate ; white, maculated with
yellowish red ; initial whorls cancellated ; aperture subviolaceous ;
lip thin, very acute at edge. Length, 50 mill.

Genus NEPTUNEA, Bolten.
The shells of this genus are boreal in distribution, and like the
other circumpolar genera, are nearly destitute of color, being
white or yellowish, under a light brown or yellowish, rather
smooth epidermis. The sculpture, when there is any, consists
of revolving striae, ridges or ribs, and the lip of the aperture is
smooth within or merely modified by the external sculpture when
the shell is thin. In the genus Siphonalia, the species of which
are mainly Japanese and Australian, the general form is similar,
but the shell is nodose, frequently developing longitudinal ribs,
and the outer lip is more disposed to be crenulate ; the surface is
more usually ornamented with color, disposed in bands, etc.
There are some species which can be only arbitrarily placed,
having characters partaking of either genus ; and in fact geo-
graphical considerations must sometimes be allowed considerable
weight in assigning such species to their respective genera.
Some of the species are apparently very variable, and it is
difficult to decide whether the conservative views of Gwyn Jef-
freys and Kobelt, or the more extreme views of Morch, etc.. are
most in accordance with truth.

Kobelt has varieties carinaia and despecta, but Jeffreys con-

agree with Jeffreys' views. On the other hand, Jeffreys has the
following varieties, viz. : alba, ventricosa, striata, gracilis ; they
are merely arbitrary distinctions among forms very variable.
Jeffreys also enumerates montrosities, as follows :
N. contraria, Linn. Spire reversed. (This has usually been
considered a distinct species, and I prefer to so regard it.)
Monstr. 2. acuminatum ; Monstr. 3. scalariforme, whorls more
or less detached ; Monstr. 4. cinctum, with a sharp ridge at the top
or in the middle of the lower whorls, now and then bicarinated ;
5. sulcatum, lower whorls furrowed in the middle, and outer lip
notched like a Pleurotoma ; 6. Babylonicum, spire turreted ; 7.
compressum, squeezed in at the sides, mouth narrow ; 8. Volutse-
forme, shaped like a Voluta ; 9. varicosum, the former outer lip
(sometimes two or three of them) persistent ; 10. coritorlum, spire
twisted on one side or inwards; 11. suffuUum, basal ridge con-
tinued to the periphery ; 12. bioperculatum, having two opercula.
The following information concerning this common British
shell I obtain from Jeffreys.*
" This is good bait for codfish, and a favorite delicac} 7 of the
lower working-classes in London. At Billingsgate it is sold
under the name of ' almond ' or ' red whelk ;' according to Rutly's
History of Dublin the Irish call it ' barnagh,' the tail (liver)
being said to be more fat and tender than a lobster. The egg-
cases or capsules (Vol. II, t. 7, f. 11) overlap one another in an
imbricated fashion, each being firmly attached by its base to the
underlying capsule ; they are deposited in clusters of from a
dozen to a hundred, the capsules in each cluster being equal in
size. Those which compose one cluster, however, are not half as
* Brit. Conch. IV, 326.
NEPTUNE A.
large as those forming another cluster, although in both cases
the fry are in the same state of maturity. When they are dry,
the upper or convex side shrivels, and is wrinkled or pitted ; the
under or flat side (which by contraction becomes concave) is of
a silky texture, and divided across by a few lines ; the opening
is a wide slit, lying just under the top which makes a narrow
flap.
" Before leaving the capsule the fry are perfectly formed, with
conspicuous tentacles, eyes, and operculum ; their shell has two
whorls, the first being smooth, and the other showing a few
slight incipient striae. Each capsule produces only from two to
four fry. The latter end of winter appears to be the spawning-
season ; on the 26th of January, 1861, I examined fresh capsules
which contained merely eggs immersed in a glairy liquid ; and
seven days afterwards I found in the other capsules full-sized
and living young whelks.
" The sculpture of the adult shell differs according to the
locality and nature of the ground ; sometimes it is coarse, and at
other times scarcely perceptible. Specimens from Kiel Bay are
stunted and depauperated, owing probably to the admixture of
fresh water from the Baltic. In Shetland and at Berwick the
fishermen make an elegant lamp of the shell, suspending it hori-
zontally, mouth upwards, b} r a string round the middle, from a
nail in the wall ; the cavity contains oil, and the canal a wick
(See Vol. II, PI. 2, fig. 13). Now and then giants are seen, T or
8 inches long. The body-whorl of the female is larger than that
of the male. Chemnitz knew the reversed form as a Crag fossil
of Harwich ; and he deplored in moving terms the indolence and
apathy of naturalists in not procuring live specimens of this
k most delicate monster.' It is still very rare. Not only the
spire of the shell, but also the curve of the operculum is reversed.
I am not aware of any explanation of the phenomenon having
been offered on physiological grounds."
Mr. Crosse considers N. contraria, Linn. (t. 50, f. 291, 292), a
good species, and not a reversed antiqua, because it is so abun-
dantly found at Vigo, a locality more southern than any for the
normal antiqua, and Weinkauff also, remarking upon the abun.
dance of contraria in the Mediterranean and the absence of
antiqua, comes to the same conclusion.

covered with irregular revolving striae and riblets ; sometimes
longitudinally lamellose. Fawn-brown, lighter or whitish within
the aperture. Length, 3-5 inches.
Norway ; Spitsbergen ; Siberia ; Japan ; Alaska ;
Greenland ; Iceland ; Newfoundland.
A circumpolar species, very variable in form and sculpture,
and bearing numerous names. It has been confounded with N.
antiqua, but appears to me to be distinct. It inhabits colder
seas, is not found in any portion of the British ocean, but occurs
in boreal Asia and America where the antiqua is not found.
In the var. striata the revolving sculpture is pretty regular,
consisting of alternate larger and smaller stria? or riblets, and the
shoulder is destitute of tuberculation. The variety fornicata
(fig. 251) usually has the angle of the shoulder with a stout rib,
upon which are compressed tubercles, but the striae upon the rest
of the shell are more or less obsolete ; sometimes the angle itself
is obsolete and the tubercles form the only ornamentation of the
surface. This latter variety is still regarded by some good
conchologists as a distinct species ; my specimens, however,
clearly indicate to me its derivation from despecta. Among the
synonyms of var. fornicata may be placed Fusus borealis, Phil,
(fig. 554), Chrysodomus lieros, Gray (figs. 252, 253, 255, 256), an
extremely lengthened, non-carinated form, which approaches
Siplionalia Kellettii, Forbes, Tritonium antiquum, Midd., not
Linn. (figs. 251-260), some forms of which are suggestive of
NEPTUNEA. 11 Y
lirata, Martyn, from the same localities, N. arthritica^al. (figs.
262, 264), N. bulbacea or bulbosa, Yal. (figs. 265, 266), which is
evidently the same as artliritica, Fusus saturus, Martyn (fig. 267).
To these I must add N. Cumingii, Crosse (fig. 268), from N".
China.
Fusus tornatus, Gould (fig. 261), from codfish at the Bank
Fisheries is equivalent to the typical despecta.
So variable is this species that I doubt the distinctness of even
such diverse forms as N. lirata, Martyn, and Siphonalia Kellettii,
Forbes, as well as of Volutopsis Behringii, Midd.
N. LIJIATA, Martyn. PI. 48, figs. 269-272.

revolving ribs, which are not flattened on the top, usually three
of these ribs are visible on the spire whorls.

Animal whitish, black-spotted ; end of siphon and proboscis
black.
Yaries by the partial or entire suppression of the ribs as shown
by figures 210-272, and then approaches smooth varieties of N.
despecta. The question of identity of this and the following
species has been carefully discussed by Mr. W. H. Dall,* who
gives a table of differences in ornamentation and dimensions
founded upon the examination of numerous specimens. Mr.
Dall remarks that " it should be remembered that lirata does not
occur on the Arctic shores of North America, and the two species
are separated by a vast expanse of water. Some of the characters
in the comparative table graduate towards each other in excep-
tional cases, but the sum of the characters is always sufficient
to discriminate between the two, and this is all that can be
expected between any two nearly allied forms. I regard the two
as perfectly distinct." My material is not so abundant as that
on which Mr. Dall bases his conclusions, and the differences are
not so great. If it be true that neither species exists on the
Arctic Coast, it would have to be proven that they did not exist
there at some previous period of the world's history in order to

indicate distinct origin ; we find the same species on both sides
of Central America in numerous instances. Perhaps I usually
regard species from a somewhat more comprehensive point of
view than does Mr. Dall, because in the present case he is quite
willing (indeed does not expect otherwise) to distinguish allied
species except by the " sum of the characters " of a number of
individuals of each, whilst I regard principally those "exceptional
cases " where the " characters graduate towards each other " as
extremely damaging to their specific distinctness ; consequently,
whilst Mr. Dall u regards the two as perfectly distinct," I expect
future researches to establish their identity. In case they shall
be united, Marty n's name having priority, must be adopted.
N. DECEMCOSTATA, Say. PI. 48, fig. 273.
Shell light brown, aperture usually white, sometimes brownish ;
encircled on the body-whorl by six to eleven ribs, which, in
adults are usually flattened on the top ; generally only two of
these ribs are visible on the spire-whorls.

Revolving ridges flat-topped and overhanging the interspaces
slightly, tops of ridges impressed with one or more lines ; em-

produced ; siphonal fasciole none or very faint. White, under a
yellowish brown epidermis. Length, 3'5 inches.
Unalashka ; 100 fathoms. W. H. Dall.
Mr. Dall remarks that this species recalls Purpura trochlea ;
it is, perhaps, still more like P. succincta.
Snbgenus Volutopsis, Morch.
The shells of this division are characterized by their large
mouths, expanded lips, want of distinctly produced canal, etc.
The small operculum is (in V. Norvegica) more ovate than in
the true Neptunese ; the dentition also, varies from the typical
form. Volutopsis appears to stand between Neptunea and
Buccinum.

ish cream color or white. Length, 3-4-25 inches.
North Sea Coast of England ; Shetland Is. ; Greenland ; Iceland ;
Newfoundland ; Norway (100 fathoms) ; Sea of Okhotsk ; Alaska.
The animal has a pale orange or yellowish white body, irregu-
larly streaked with purple. " The egg-cases are solitary. Each
forms a compressed hemisphere about one inch in diameter,
dirty lemon color, semi-transparent, and attached by the whole
of its base to the inside of old bivalve shells and other flat sub-
stances, and edged by a rim or strip of membrane. The upper
surface is covered with a thin whitish crust, which breaks up
into crystalline particles and is finely corrugated ; the under side
is satiny. Ova pink or bright flesh-color. There are in each
capsule from two to four perfect fry, which make their escape
through a slit in the rim. The shell has the expressive name of
' wide mouth ' among the North-country fishermen."*
Occurs fossil in the glacial shell mounds at Udevalla ; and in
England in the Norwich Crag. At the former locality the spire
is somewhat longer, approaching the next species.
JV. Largillierti, Petit, from Newfoundland (fig. 278), is con-
sidered by its author a synonym of this species ; nevertheless
Kobelt has figured and described a specimen (fig. 279) which
differs still more than Petit's type from the normal Norvegica,
and which he thinks is distinct ; it approaches the next species
in form.
I can scarcely doubt the identit}- with this species of N. regu-
laris, Dall (fig. 271), which, by a curious error, was described as
a var. of N. Beringii, Midd., supposed by him to be equivalent,
or nearly so, to N. Norvegica. It comes from Unalashka, etc.,
and appears to be a stunted form.

120 VOLUTOPSIS.
The much produced spire and very short canal serve to dis-
tinguish this from the preceding species. The egg-capsules,
according to Jeffreys, " are pale orange, either solitary, or two
together, and attached side by side, not to each other, but to a
rather broad membraneous substratum ; they are triangularly
oval, the base being the narrowest part, and consist of an outer
filmy sheath and an inner and thick fibrous case ; the latter
resembles in structure a cocoanut husk ; the opening is a wide
slit at the top. Mr. Howse found six young in one capsule.
The fry are almost cjdindrical, and of a dark reddish brown hue.
The shell goes by the name of ' long neck ' among the Straithes
fishermen."
Sars has separated this shell from Neptunea, appropriating to
it the generic name Chrysodomus, Swainson, a name usually con-
sidered synonymous with Neptunea. The distinctive points are,
of the shell as stated above, a somewhat different dentition (PI.
26, fig. 16), and operculum (fig. 283). I suppose that these char-
acters might be sufficient for the separation of a group, but the
opercula and dentition of so many species of Neptuniinaa being
unknown, it is perhaps most advisable to make no separation at
present.
N. CALLORHINA, Dall. PI. 49, fig, 287.
Shell white, solid, smooth, with faint traces of revolving striae ;
spire acute ; embryonal whorls very minute, not mammillate ;

posterior angle not acute ; whorls, seven evenly tapering, not
inflated. Length, 2 inches ; width, *9 inch.

mammillated. Posterior surface of the valves flattened towards
the suture, where they are somewhat wrinkled and appressed.
Surface of the whorls completely covered with fine, even, spiral
lines. Aperture long and narrow, a thickened callus on the inner
lip, and the outer lip slightly reflected. Canal long, nearly
straight, rather narrow. Length 2'33 inches, lat. 1 inch.

N. tabulata, Baird (fig. 286), of which a single dead specimen
was dredged in Esquimault Harbor, Vancouver's Island, may be

striae, which are asperate ; the canal is of considerable length,
bent to one side. Length 3 inches, lat. 1*33 inches.
Carpenter mentions a second dead specimen, dredged at 120

ing striae, which are lost on the middle of the body-whorl but
become more conspicuous at its lower part. Yellowish white ;
epidermis deciduous, membranaceous, brown.
Length, 4-5 inches.

The rudely folded whorls are the distinguishing characteristic of
this species : of which there is a short-spired variety, N. castanea,

122 HELIOTROPIS.
Subgenus Heliotropis, Ball. .
The essential character of this group is the reversed direction
of the spire, placing the aperture on the left instead of the right
side of the shell. The principal species have been considered by
good conchologists as mere monstrosities of dextral species ; thus
Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys regards N. contraria as equivalent to N.
antiqua. But of this species it has been shown that it has an
extensive distribution in Southern Europe, where the normal N.
antiqua is unknown, and that the so-called reversed antiqua is
very rare where the normal form is abundant. The last two
species, in form and want of denned canal appear like reversed
Volutopsse, and possibly they are.

English specimens may be veritable reversed monstrosities of N.
antiqua.

Closely allied to the preceding species. Mr. Dall remarks that
the " operculum. is very small when compared with the size of
the animal. Ovicapsules solitary, of hemispherical form, attached
by the entire base, smooth above, and maturing only two or three
individuals to each sac, although of much greater size than the
ovicapsule of any other specie;, of mollusk in the region."

elevated spiral ribs. The mouth small, roundish ovate ; the canal
short, rather twisted, open. Length, 2' 14 inches.
North Sea.
Genus SIFHO, Klein.
This is one of the most perplexing groups that I have
studied ; the distinctive characters of the so-called species are
comparative only, having mainly reference to the proportions
of the shells, color and sculpture being nearly identical through-
out. Experience with boreal shells teaches that they are much
more liable to variation in form than those of more temperate
latitudes : hence the conclusion is irresistable that nearly all the
species of Sipho must be relegated to the synonymy eventually.
The want of sufficient and authentic material has prevented me
from doing this in several instances. The species are confined
to the boreal seas of the northern hemisphere.

the whorls are more rounded ; the apex is stiliform and prominent ;
and the ridges are less crowded, and are sharper and more raised,
especially on the upper whorls. The odontophores of the two
species also differ. The true Islandicus is a northern species,
very rare upon the northern confines of Great Britain. The
English species usually known under this name is the S. gracilis,
whilst the American species commonly known as S. Islandicus is
S. Stimpsoni, Morch. The name of S. cornea, Linn., is excluded
because it is believed to have covered more than one species.

Jeffreys describes a var. convoluta, which is smaller, narrower,
and somewhat cylindrical, more solid, with a longer spire, having
sharper ridges and a deeper suture ; mouth proportionally smaller.
He thus describes the egg-capsules.
" The capsules are solitary, small, membranous, pouch-shaped,
and attached by a broad base to stones and corallines ; their sur-
face is microscopically and closely reticulated ; orifice extremely
large and sometimes having the edge partly stained with pink.
Each capsule contains only a single embryonic shell, which is
transparent, and through it may be seen the orange liver and two
unequal-sized plumes of pale yellow gills."
" Monstrosities now and then occur, viz., some of the ridges
being prominent and keel-like ; spire twisted on one side or down-
wards ; penultimate whorl swollen ; apex broken off and replaced
by a shelly plug ; or the operculum aborted and concave. This
whelk is occasionally brought to Billingsgate (London) market,
mixed with the common eatable kinds ; but it is not saleable.
The fishermen call it l borer.' "
Kobelt considers the Fusus Islandicus of the American coast
the equivalent of this species, and calls it var. ventricoswr ; but
two species appear to be confounded in our u Islandicus :" a
form which can be readily referred to S. gracilis, and a much
larger, more ventricose form which has been separated as a dis-
tinct species under the name of Stimpsoni, Morch.

deep-water zones ; Norway ; Sweden ; Nova Scotia ?
Jeffrej^s says, " The shell of the female is more tumid than
that of the male. Capsules solitary, and attached to the inside
of old bivalves ; they are hemispherical, and resemble those of
F. gracilis, but have a smaller and oval orifice ; the base is mar-
gined by a narrow membrane. Embryo the color of a pomegranate.
The smaller size and more delicate texture, finer and closer
sculpture, longer, turreted, and regularly tapering spire, deeper
suture, hispid epidermis, less abrupt curvature of the canal and
especially the symetrical apex will readily serve to discriminate
this from the last species."
Mr, Verrill has obtained from the waters of Nova Scotia two
shells which are referred by Mr. Dall to this species after direct
comparison with authentic specimens thereof.

polished variety, with more acute spire and less incurved canal,

Jeffreys considers this a variety of S. propinquus, Alder ;
which it may well be, but it is certainly more closely allied to
S* tortuosus if the shape of canal is a specific character : I think
all these differences of extreme^ doubtful persistence, and would
prefer to consider most of the so-called species mere modifications
of S. Islandicus.

Shell differing from that of S. propmquus in being much larger,
more ventricose and solid, and in having a conical and shorter
spire ; the whorls are more convex, and the last occupies eight-
elevenths of the shell ; the ridges of the back of the canal are
stronger ; the surface is covered with microscopic spiral striae,
which intersect the equally fine lines of growth, so as to produce
a slight and partial decussation ; The epidermis is membranous
and deciduous, fibrous near the outer lip, never hispid, and of a
brownish yellow color ; the alternation of size in the spiral ridges
gives a lineated appearance to that part of the epidermis on the
body-whorl which is of a paler color aud situated below the
periphery ; the canal is proportionally shorter, much wider, and
more open ; the outer lip is sinuated in the middle ; operculum
amber-eolor. Length 2*25 inches, breadth 1*15 inches.

Length, 57 mill.
Jacobshavn, Greenland.
Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys refers this, together with tortuosus, Spitz-
bergensis and Ebur to S. Sabinii, Gray, with which he also
identifies togatus, Morch. He says, " The epidermis is usually
smooth; but in one of my specimens it is finely and closely
ciliated. The comparative length and curvature of the canal are
variable characters,"
S. LIVIDUS, Morch. PL 52, fig. 321.
Whitish, encircled by narrow, flat lirae and narrower interstices ;
epidermis olivaceous ; lip slightly expanded. Length, 50 mill.
Newfoundland.
Morch mentions the resemblance of this species to Spitzber-
yensis, Reeve (= Buccinofusus terebralis, Gld.), the type of
128 SIPHO.
which he has not seen. It is possible that the two are identical,
and that lividus should be expunged from the genus Sipho. It
must be considered a very doubtful species ; I am not aware of
anything like the figure in the American Seas, and cannot help
thinking that the illustration is a bad one.
S. SARSII, Jeffreys. PI. 52, figs. 322, 323.
Spirally costulate, clathrate by narrow, undulated growth-lines.
White, epidermis pallid olivaceous. Length, 54 mill.
Southern Norwegian Coast ; 106 fathoms.
Outline somewhat like that of the next species, but the spire is
more elevated and the whorls rounder; sutures, consequently,
deeper.
S. VENTRICOSUS, Gray. PL 52, fig. 324.
Shell rather thin, inflated, spire short ; epidermis light olive.
Length, 1*5-2 inches.
Banks of Newfoundland.
Fusus striatus, Reeve, is supposed by Kobelt to =this species,
but I think it more closely allied to F. Stimpsoni, Morch.
S. LACHESIS, Morch. PI, 51, fig. 312. .
Pinkish white under a coriaceous epidermis. Length, 41 mill.
Greenland ; Finmark.
S. VERKRUZENI, Kobelt. PL 52, fig. 325.
Shell solid, nearly smooth ; canal very short ; columella strongly
callous below. Epidermis smooth, greenish yellow.
Length, 2 inches.
Northern Norway.
Totally different from all the other species in its Bullia-likc
aspect, want of striae and short canal. The radula and operculum
are those of Siplio, otherwise its generic position would be very
doubtful. Kobelt suspects that Chemnitz had this shell before
him when he assigned Norway as a habitat for Bullia polita.
S. ROSEUS, Dall. PL 52, fig. 329.
Shell small, of a rosy color when fresh, smooth to the touch,
elegantly proportioned. Whorls six, well-rounded but not in-
flated ; suture distinct; apex not mammillate, but eventy and
elegantly rounded off. Sculpture consisting of delicate, evenly-
STPHO. 129
distributed revolving grooves, with wide interspaces, of which
there are thirty or forty on the last whorl ; these are crossed by
faint lines of growth. Aperture rounded ovate, outer lip thin,
columella arcuated, polished, not thickened ; canal very short
and wide. Fasciole none. Length, '9 inch.
Arctic Ocean.
The sculpture reminds one of the true Fusus Islandicus, which,
however, has a long canal. The epidermis is not perceptible, and
all the specimens were imbedded in lumps of dense spongy
growth. // ^

I figure, besides the original in the Jour, de Conchyl., a shell

is probably an error.
S. PYGM^EUS, Gould. PI. 52, fig. 330.
White, under a yellowish epidermis ; animal white.

Connecticut, northward to Newfoundland.
Mr. Yen-ill has made for this species a subgenus Neptunella,
founded on the peculiarly velvety epidermis and the dentition.
The epidermis is, however, no more velvety than in some other
species, and the description of the dentition given by Yen-ill
applies very well to that of S^ho Islandicus.
This species is very like S. gracilis, except that it is much
smaller.

In addition to the typical form I figure, from Kobelt, a stout
variety collected by Dall at Unalaschka. Among the synonyms
are S. (Bucc.} tortuosus, Reeve (fig. 349), S. arcticus, Phil. (fig.
336), and S. cretaceus. Reeve (fig. 350), and, possibly, S. scalari-
formis, Beck. S. plicatus, A. Ad. (fig. 351), from Japan, is
apparently the same species.

since been recognized. May be a Bela or even a TrojJton, but
is compared by Hancock with Fuaus Jftlandicus.
S. VIRENS, Dall. PL 53, fig. 347.
Shell small, similar to S. brunneus in general characters, but
covered with a grass-green epidermis, tinged with light brown in
some specimens. The canal is more clearly defined ; aperture
much shorter and rounder, ridges and grooves less prominent

and clearly defined. The costoe are more arcuated posteriorly,
and the embryonic whorl larger, with revolving threads instead
of being smooth. Whorls five and a-half. Costae nine to eleven

but almost too faint to count. Length, *65 inch.

Japanese Seas ; 48 fathoms, sand and mud.
My figure is from the original ; afterwards the same species,
apparently, was described by Mr. E. A. Smith under the name of
Sipho Manchuricus, A. Adams' MS. ; and in this description
the specimen is larger, attaining the above length. Some of the
preceding species may be identical with it.
S. ANGUSTUS, E. A. Smith.
Fusiform; whorls about ten, slightly convex, longitudinally
plicated, finely spirally striated; plicae somewhat oblique and
arcuate, not particularly raised, broader than the interstices,
about eighteen on the penultimate whorl ; last whorl contracted
and produced below into a slender, recurved beak ; aperture
rather less than half the entire length of the shell. Whitish,
with a broad obscure brownish band round the middle of the
whorls, clothed with a greenish yellow epidermis ; aperture light
brown within. Length 25 mill., diam. 6*5 mill.

Remarkable for its slender form. It is not figured, and I know
nothing concerning it.
Undetermined Species of Sipho.
S. RECTIROSTRIS, Carpenter. PI. 53, fig. 348.

No diagnosis of this species has been published ; it is merely
mentioned in Carpenter's 2d Report, and figured in Kiister from
a drawing furnished by W. H. Dall.

In Sowerby's monograph of Fusus, just published in the
Thesaurus Conchyliorum, occur the following species, referable
to Sipho:
S. KECTIPLIOATUS, Sowb. PI. 87, fig. Hi 2. Northern Seas.
This is a form of the very variable S. Kroyeri, Moller.
S. OBESUS, Sowb. PL 81, fig, 624. Northern Seas.
Nearly allied to S. glabra, Verkriizen, but more bulbous below.
Probably not distinct from that species.
S. SOLIDULUS, Sowb. PI. 87, fig. 622. Northern Seas.
= S. Stimpsoni, Morch, Var., p. 126, t. 51, f. 313.
Through the courtesy of Prof. Friele, who has forwarded to
me proof plates of his forthcoming work on the Mollusca of the
Norwegian Polar Expedition, I am enabled to illustrate the
following additional species :
S. DANIELSENI, Friele. PL 87, fig. 610.
Shell whitish. Length, 39 mill.
Dredged between Norway nd Greenland, at 1000 fathoms.
Very closely related to S. lividus, Morch (t. 53, f. 321), and
S. Sarsii, Jeffreys (t. 52, f. 322, 323). I have not seen specimens
of this or the succeeding species.
S. HANSENI, Friele. PL 87, fig. 628.
Yellowish brown. Length, 61 mill.
Spitsbergen.
Only one example found. Resembles the variety of S. Stiinp-
soni, which I have illustrated, PL 51, f. 313.
S. VIBGATUS, Friele. PL 87, fig. 613.
Reddish yellow. Length, 30 mill.
Near Lofoten, Spitsbergen.
In form and extraordinarily short canal, like S. Verkruzeni,
but sculpture and apex different.
MOHNIA, SIPHON ALIA. 133
S. DALLI, Friele. PL 87, fig. 625.
S. UNDULATUS, Friele. PL 87, fig. 626.
Not published ; figured from advance plate of the Norwegian
North Sea Expedition. /S. Dalli appears to be a S. tortuosus
with well-developed spiral sculpture (see t. 51, f. 302-305); S.
undulatus is not adult.
NEPTUNEA OSSIANI, Friele. PL 87, fig. 621.
Form similar to N. Turtom, with yellowish brown, somewhat
scabrous epidermis. Length, 88 mill.
Near Lofoten, Spitzbergen.
The sculpture and epidermis, mouth and canal, are considered
different from N. Turtoni, and the shell is less solid. Cer-
tainly very closely related.
Subgenus Mohnia, Friele.
M. MOHNII, Friele. PL 52, figs. 331, 332.
White, subpellucid, epidermis thin, smooth or slightly hispid.
Length, 22 mill.
North Atlantic Ocean.
The paucispiral operculum is the distinguishing feature of this
species and subgenus ; and I can scarcely believe that some error
has not occurred in assigning such an operculum to one of the
Buccinidae, because we are accustomed to consider this form as
evidence that the shell to which it belongs is holostomate.
Cenu* SIPHONALIA, A. Adams.
This genus is principally of tropical and subtropical distribu-
tion, and more highly colored than Neptunea : which, neverthe-
less, it approaches very nearly in the form and color of S.
Kellettii, for instance. The metropolis of the genus is Japan, a
few forms being found, however, on the opposite shores of the
West Coast of North America ; some species occur also in Aus-
tralian waters. The shells are usually thin and ventricose, varie-
gated in color, and destitute of epidermis. The operculum is
fusoid.
A number of the species have been recently described by Mr.
Arthur Adams and others, the diagnoses being unaccompanied
134 SIPHON ALT A.
by comparative characters or figures. The variation of coloration
and sculpture is known to be great in this genus, consequently it
is very probable that a portion of these species will prove to be
synonymous with others previously described. I shall merely
enumerate these as unidentified species.
The animal and dentition of Siphonalia are unknown.
S. KELLETTII, Forbes. PI. 54, fig. 352.
Thick, ponderous, white. Length, 4-6 inches.
Lower California ; California ; Japan.
Kobelt justly remarks that this 'species occupies an interme-
diate position between Siphonalia and Neptunea, so that it is
difficult to decide in which genus it ought to be placed.
S. FUSCOTINCTA, Cpr.
A unique, unfigured shell from Sta. Barbara, Cal. It is probably
very immature, being only *17 inch long. It is said to look like
a minute edition of S. Kellettii, but does not accord with the
young of that species. Science is not benefited by the descrip-
tion of such material as this.
S. FUSCOZONATA, Angas. PL 55, fig. 361.
White, with an interrupted, broad brown band on the periphery ;
lip acutely lirate within, columella with a superior callus.
Length, -54 inch.
8. Australia.
Said to resemble Peristernia, but without the colurnellar
plications of that genus. It is too small to be an adult shell, if
a Siphonalia.
S. MODIFICATA, Reeve. PI. 55, fig. 8<J2.
Light yellowish brown. Length, 44 mill.
La Pas, L. California, Carpenter ; J<i.j[ni)i t A. Adams.
Resembles somewhat Melongena pallida, B. and S., and may
not be properly classed as a Siphonalia;
S. SPADICEA, Reeve. PL 55, fig. 363.
Light brown, with here and there longitudinal reddish ila-mes
and reddish brown spiral ridges. Length, 42 mill.
Jitpaji.
I do not know this species ; it resembles some of the Melon-
geme quite as much as this group where it is placed by Kobelt.
SIPHON ALIA. 135
S. TUBEROSA, Reeve. PL 54, fig. 354.
Chestnut-brown, white on the principal spiral ribs and nodules ;
aperture bluish white. Length, 3 inches,
Japan.
S. MAXIMA, Tryon. PI. 54, fig. 355.
White, sprinkled and blotched with light chestnut-brown on
the spiral ribs ; a broad, brown band between the tubercles on
the shoulder of the whorls ; aperture white. Length, 7*5 inch.
Tasmania.
This shell was sent to the Philadelphia Academy by Mr. Or. B.
Sowerby, under the name of Siphonalia Tasmaniensis, Angas,
and he has since figured a somewhat similar form in his " Thesau-
rus' 7 as that species ; Tasmaniensis is, however, a very different
species, as will be seen by my copy of the original figure. The
present species may possibly be the subject of one of the unil-
lustrated diagnoses which I have considered it useless to attempt
to identify.
S. DTLATATA, Quoy. PI, 54, figs. 356-359.
Pale yellowish brown, the revolving ridges deep chestnut ;
interior white, Length, 2*5-5 inches.
New Zealand ; Japan, A. Adams.
F. adustus, Phil. (fig. 359) is a synonym.
Reeve and Hutton both suspect this to run into the non-
shouldered F. Mandarinus, Duclos (= Zelandicus^ Quoy); if this
be so, all the species of Siphonalia might as well be given up at
once. Mandarinus I have referred to the group Anstrofusus.
S. CASSIDARI^EFORMIS, Reeve. PI. 55, figs, 364-369.
Reddish orange variously banded and tinged with chocolate
and white; aperture white or orange. Length, '30-55 mill.
Japan.
Qiiite characteristic in its general appearance, although very
variable in coloring. Probably several of Mr. Arthur Adams'
unfigured species are synonymous with this ; Lischke thus iden-
tifies two of them, S. ornata and S. conypersa.
S. TASMANIENSIS, Ad. and Angas. PI. 54, fig. 360.
Yellowish orange more or less fasciated with red (three bands
on the last whorl), yellowish white within. Length, 60 mill.

narrow brown revolving bands. Length, 2 inches.
S. Japan.
Very like S. Cassidarineformis in shape, but smooth, and more
produced and contorted inferiorly.
S. concinna, A. Adams, may be synonymous, as suggested by
Kobelt.

Light brown, ridges profusely stained with small spots of
deeper color. Length, 46 mill.

Very like S. CassidariteforTtiis, but with longer spire, and
somewhat narrower ; the canal also, is a little more produced.

Whitish fawn, sparingly streaked longitudinally with brown,
and ornamented with sub-equidistant revolving dark brown lines.

The very short canal and smooth surface as well as the peculiar
color-markings almost suggest Eburna rather than Siphonalia.

position of which is doubtful.

The want of longitudinal folds appears to distinguish this
species from its congeners, except S.- Mandarina, Duclos. To
this it is very closely allied and may be identical, although the
revolving ridges in cinnamomea appear to be fewer and more
distant.

S. Fisheriana, Petit (fig. 386), was described as a Fasciolaria
but the want of distinct columellar folds and the sculpture seem
to indicate that it would be more properly placed here; it is
almost certainly equivalent to S. bu.rea, described at an earlier
date, without locality.
S. REEVE AN A, Petit. PL 56, fig. 383.
Described from a worn specimen, deprived of epidermis, sup-
posed to come from Newfoundland. The figure appears to be
badly drawn. Kobelt suspects that this will prove to be identical
with S. sulcata, Lam. Fusus Reeveanus, Sowb., not Petit ( t. 86,
f. 600), is possibly also a Siphonalia*
S. MANDARINA, Duclos. PI. 56, fig. 384; PL 57, fig. 3S5.
White or pale rust-color, ridges dark, chocolate.
Length, 2'5^3'25 inches.
New Zealand.
Fusus Zealandicus, Quo}^ (fig. 384), is evidently the same spe-
cies; and F. caudatus, Quo} T , is supposed to be the young shell,
by Hutton, but I think it quite certain, from comparison of
Quoy's figures, that caudatus is the young of F, australis.
Hutton connects S. Mandarina with S. dilatata, Quoy.
FULQUR. 139
S. HARFORDI, Stearns.
Solid, elongate, regularly fusiform ; spire elevated, whorls six
or seven, moderately convex, slightly flattened (in outline) above,
with a groove or channel following the suture ; color chocolate-
brown ; surface marked by numerous narrow revolving costse,
which alternate in prominence on the body-whorl, and longitudi-
nally by fine incremental striae, and the upper whorls by obtusely
rounded ribs of more or less prominence ; aperture ovate, about
half the length of the shell, polished, white and finely ribbed
within ; canal short, nearly straight.
Length 2'1, lat. '94 in.
Mendoeino Co. and Farallone Is., California.
Mr. Ball compares this species to S. cinnamomea, Reeve. It
has not been figured and I have not seen it. Very rare.
Genus FULGrUR, Montfort.
Shell with a simple, very thin periostracum, with little raised
revolving lines ; pyriform, with the whorls wound tightly round
the axis, leaving no umbilicus, angular behind, with the upper
surface shelving towards the angle ; and the whorls below the
angle ventricose, and thence gradually contracted and terminating
in a moderately elongated canal, generally little or no longer
than the aperture, concurrent with and proximal to the siphonal
fasciole, and correspondingly tortuous, Siphonal fasciole coinci-
dent with the columellar plait ; spire variable in evolution, with
a papillary nucleus ; sutures plane ; aperture rhombo-ovate ; outer
lip in youth striated within ; columella covered with a thin,
callous coat, decidedly and regularly concave, and with a wide
oblique marginal fold. Operculum with the nucleus apical.
Animal rather small, retractile with its operculum within the
shell for about a third of a volution from the aperture.
I quote above Prof. Theodore Gill's somewhat lengthy des-
cription, forming part of his admirable synopsis of the genus ;
which I have adopted as a basis for this work. The distribution
of the genus is restricted to the temperate and subtropical waters
of the Atlantic Coast of the United States, and its manifest con-
chological position connects Fasciolaria with Neptunea. It is
not infrequent in our miocene deposits, from which several
species have been described by Mr. Conrad.
140 FULGUR.
The name Fulgur, meaning lightning, is in allusion to the
somewhat tortuous longitudinal brown streaks upon the shell,
indicating rest-periods in its growth. The animal is used for
bait by fishermen, and the trade in the shells for garden orna-
ments and for use as hanging flower-pots is so extensive as to have
nearly caused the extermination of the species upon portions of
the New Jersey coast.
Morch and Adams have used the name Busycon, of Bolten, for
this genus, but Bolten did not characterize it, whilst the later
name given by Montfort accompanies a full generic description ;
I therefore prefer Fulgur. It was included by Lamarck in the
heterogenous assemblage of species which he called Pyrula.
The late Dr. Jeffreys Wyman, in his valuable memoir on the
" Fresh Water Shell Mounds of the St. John's River, Florida,"*
mentions two kinds of chisel-shaped tools cut from the shells of
Fulgur carica and F. perversa. These implements were probably
used by the aborigines for fleshing skins and for the manufacture
of articles of wood. F. perversa was also used by the Florida
Indians as a drinking vessel, the interior whorls being removed
to increase its capacity. This same species was extensively used
and must have been an important article of trade among the
natives, as it is frequently found in Indian graves and mounds
throughout the Southern and Western States and Canada. It
is probable that, amoii other uses it was cut up into beads and
various small ornaments. The white kind of wampum or shell
money of the Indians was partially made of the axis of the shells
of Fulgur, and partially from Buccinum undatum.
F. CARICA, Gmelin. PI. 57, figs. 387-390 ; PI. 58, fig. 400.
Whitish, the younger specimens often marked l)y ash or
chocolate-colored longitudinal stripes at the principal rest-periods
in their growth ; mouth and columella in adult specimens deep
orange color. Length, 6-10 inches.
Cape Cod, Mass, to Florida. Also Miocene and Post Pliocene.
Animal large, dirty white to almost black ; mantle thick, white,
edge plain ; proboscis long, cylindrical, slightly bi-lobed and
black, or nearly so, at the end, lighter next the body ; tentacles
short, triangular ; eyes on the outer side near the base. Opercu-
* Memoirs of the Peabody Academy, Vol. I, 1875.
FULGUR. 141
lum ovate, thick, with a broad callus around the inner edge,
which is heaviest on the left side; outer surface coarse and rough,
greenish yellow. Mr. Conrad adopts Linnaeus' name, Aruanum,
for this species, and st^s that the figures in llumphius and
Gnaltieri referred to by him represent this species : the latter
does, but the former is Fumta proboscidtferus, Lam. I am com-
pelled on account of this uncertainty to reject the prior name
given by Linnaeus in favor of carica under which the species is
more generally known.
Yar. ELICEANS, Montfort. PI. 57, figs. 388-390.
On the coasts of Georgia and Florida occurs a variety which,
commencing like a normal carica, eventually becomes more
thickened, the spines fewer in number and more prominent, the
columella white The appearance of fine specimens is perhaps
sufficiently distinct to justify its separation as a different species.
The ordinary manifestation of carica occurs in the same regions,
and various transition states as well. The coloration of the rest-
periods is more vivid and is retained to a much larger size in the
Southern than in the Northern specimens. An exaggerated
specimen of the var. cHrtwiitt is the shell called by Lamarck
Pyrula candelabrum (fig. 389) in which the animal has completed
the growth of the body-whorl in three growths, and consequent!}',
has only three spines upon this whorl. The type (and only
specimen known) formed part of the Lamarckian collection. F.
Kieneri, Phil. (fig. 390), is founded on a reversed and distorted
shell of var. elicvans. Specimens of this distorted form, uni-
formly from the Southern Coast, are not uncommon, and are
either dextral or sinistral. Conrad has named sinistral specimens
of this variety Busy con yibbofsum. Sowerb}^ in his recently pub-
lished monograph of FHXHX (Thesaurus Conchyliorum) describes
and figures a F. lainellomix, Kay (meaning De Kay, or of Gould,
in his plate-explanations), said to come from the Northwest
Coast of Africa. Neither of the authors cited described such a
species, and the figure represents a young, but beach-worn, F.
carica.
P. PERVERSUS, Linn. PI. 57, figs. 391-393. .
The spire is very low and the tubercles numerous and small.
The shell is usualty reversed, but sometimes dextral, and is

readily distinguished by the above characters and by its narrower,
more elongated form, long canal, etc. The coloring is usually
quite vivid in young specimens, and is frequently interrupted by
the interposition of a median, broad, white, revolving baud.
Length, 6-12 inches.
Florida.
Has been united with F. carica by several authors, and I am
not nearly so certain as I once was that it is distinct ; it is pos-
sibly oi\\y a variet} r , yet it does not seem to merge into the
carica form. Pyrula coarctatus, Sowerb}' (fig. 393), said to occur
in Florida, is this species, almost certainly.
Subgenu* Sycotypus (Browne) Gill.
I do not consider Browne's description sufficiently characteris-
tic to meet the requirements of a diagnosis ; moreover, these
shells are not even now known to inhabit Jamaica. Gill's diag-
nosis is, of course, accurate and exhaustive ; but it mainly repeats
the characters of Falgar : the real difference is in the canalicu-
lated sutures and ciliated periostracum. The distinction of
" spinous " for Busy con or Fulgur, and " tuberculated v for
Sycotypus is of little importance generically, as the Fulgurs a
frequently only tubercnlate when j'oung and become spinous
with advancing age ; moreover, the miocene series serve to con-
nect the two groups in this respect. Under these circumstances
I judge it better to make Syc<>fyi>i'# a submenus only, under
Falgur.
Mr. T. A. Conrad* attempts to distinguish the embryos of
Sycotypus from those of Falgur by the latter having a long fissure
parallel with the columella, whilst the columellar region of the
former is entire. Mr. Conrad's specimens, which are before me,
and which I saw him extract from the pouches, certainly show
this difference, but I have since had occasion to examine the
embryos of Falgur several times, and from different strings of
pouches, none of which show the slit columella : the character was
probably pathological.

P. CANALICULATUS, Linn. PL 57, figs. 394, 395; PI. 58, fig. 401.
Fulvous ash-color, covered, when fresh, by a light yellowish
brown pilose epidermis. Length, 5-7 inches.
Cape, God, Mans, to Florida. Fossil, miocene to postpliocene.
The tubercles become obsolete on the body-whorl of the adult
shell. Animal with white mantle, edged with a narrow, bright
yellow granulous cord ; proboscis long, black-tipped, reddish
near the body. A string of the ovicapsules from Atlantic City,
N. J., contains ninety-eight embryos in each capsule, making
about five thousand for the entire string.
F. PYRUM, Dillw. PI. 58, figs. 402, 403.
Whitish, conspicuously longitudinally flamed with light chest-
nut or orange ; aperture whitish or yellowish within.
Length, 4-5 inches.

Whorls carinated, but scarcely tuberculated at the angle of the
shoulder. Mr. Conrad maintained that his F. plagosus is a dis-
tinct species, but I am not able to separate it.
Snt'^enus Taphon, H. and A. Adains.
Dr. (rill eliminates this from Fulgar. with which he s:iys it
evidently has no aflinity. I have not seen the shell, but judging
from -description and figure I would suppose it to be either
related to Ficus or to Fulyur, and probably much closer to
Ficuts.

of aperture white. Length, 1*6 inches.

S. recti.rva, A. Adams (fig. 406) is evidently the same species.
144 TUDICLA.
Genus TUDICLA, Bolten.
Besides the typical form three additional spinose species have
been described, viz., T. armigera and spinosa of Adams, and T.
inermis, Sowb. For these H. and A, Adams have proposed a
subgeneric name, Tudicula. Sowerby remarks that their posses-
sion of three prominent transverse plaits on the columella brings
them to the family Turbinillidae, but T. spirillus itself, when closely
examined, shows slight traces of additional plaits besides the
single prominent one, and the shells are otherwise closely related
to T. spirillus particularly in the long, narrow canal, and the
well-defined inner lip.
T. SPIRILLUS, Linn. PL 58, fig. 409.
Flesh-brown, spotted and clouded with light chestnut.
Length, 70 mill.
Indian Ocean.
T. CUMINGII, Jonas. PL 58, figs. 407, 408.
Whitish, maculated with chestnut. Length, 65 mill.
China.
T. Couderti, Petit (fig. 408), appears to me to be identical, as
does also T. fusoides, A. Ad., an unfigured species, also from
China.
T. ARMIGERA, A. Adams. PL 58. fig. 41 1.
Light yellowish brown, whitish within the aperture.
Length, 2' 7 5 inches.
This species has not been figured by its author, but I am able
to give an illustration from specimens sent to me by Mr. John
Brazier, of Sydney, N. S. Wales. In possessing spines upon the
canal as well as shoulder these specimens agree with the descrip-
tion of T. armigera, whilst in that of T. spinosa no second series
of spines is mentioned : yet I suspect that the latter is not dis-
tinct, and that Mr. Sowerby's T. inermis is simply a depauperated
specimen of the same species.
T. SPINOSA, H. and A. Adams.
An unfigured species from Australia, probably identical with
T. armigera : See remarks under that species.

T. INERMIS, Sowb. PI. 58, fig. 410.
White, with a broad chestnut band, and longitudinal flames of
the same color ; white within. Length, 1*6 inches.

The two specimens were obtained from a dealer at Singapore,
so that the locality it inhabits is very doubtful. See remarks
under T. armigera. ^

Genus PISANIA, Bivona.
Between typical specimens of this genus and of Euthria " there
is a distinction with a difference," and therefore it may be profit-
able to retain both groups ; but there are species in which the
characters become so merged that their generic classification is
merely arbitrary.
P. PUSIO, Linn. PL 71, figs. 188, 189.
Chocolate or purplish, with revolving series of red-brown
arrow-headed markings, bluish within, columella and edge of lip
fawn-color ; usually a white central band on body.
Length, l'5-2 inches.
West Indies ; Central America.
Reeve's locality, California, is an error.
P. IGNEA, Gmel. PI. 71, figs. 190-194.
Yellowish, spotted and flamed with reddish chestnut, and occa-
sionally with white. Length, 1*25-1'75 inches.
Red Sea ; Singapore ; Philippines ; Viti Islands.
The spots in this species are square instead of arrow-like as in
P. puxio : they are frequently confluent into longitudinal flames
a>nd being interrupted on the periphery, cause it to appear as
though light banded.
Var. TRITONOIDES, Reeve, PI. 71, fig. 193.
Shell more ventricose, heavier, mottled with white on the
periphery and below the sutures.
Philippines ; Cape of Good Hope (Gould).
I think Gould's Euthria lacertina (fig. 194) is a synonym.
Yiir. VLAMMULATA, Hombr. et Jacq. (not Quoy). PI. 71, fig. 192.
Shell snuiller, uniform yellowish brown with a lighter central
band.
19
146
PISANTA.
The typical form is well represented by its synonyms, P. picta,
Reeve (fig. 190), P. flammulata, Quoy (fig. 191), and P. buccinu-
lum, Martini.
P. MOESTUM, Phil.
A small, unfigured species, the locality of which is unknown.
It has revolving sulci, the intermediate spaces being articulated
with white upon a dark brown ground. The description is not
sufficient for positive identification with P. pusio or ignea.
P. KOSSMANNI, Pagenstecher. PI. 71, fig. 196.
Described from a distorted specimen which is said to resemble
P. pusio, but shows within the aperture eight brown revolving
bands. Length, 30 mill.
Red Sea.
A doubtful species.
P. FASCTCULATA, Reeve. PI. 71, figs. 195, 197.
Orange-yellow, the narrow revolving riblets chestnut-color
dotted with white. Length, 1*25-1 '5 inches.
Philippines.
P. crenilabrum, A. Adams, described in error as from the West
Indies, is apparently a mere color variation of this species ; it is
found at New Caledonia, and probably equals P. Montrouzieri,
Crosse, the latter name having priority. If my surmise prove
correct, the latter may be distinguished as
Yar. MONTROUZTERT, Crosse. PI. 71, fig. 197.
Color purple-brown, with darker revolving riblets, sometimes
obsolete; an obscure white, irregular band on the periphery,
riblets sometimes white spotted.
7\Y/r Caledonia.
P. STRTGATA, Pease. PL 71, fig. 198.
Orange or light brown, mottled and spotted with white, incised
revolving lines darker ; upper whorls granular; aperture white.
Length, 37 mill.
Lisl. Ponape.
P. HERMANNSENI, A. Adams. PI. 71, fig. 199.
Smooth, fulvous, obscurely punctate with white ; body-whorl
sulcated below. Length, ]-5 inches.
PISANIA. 147
P. GRACILIS, Koch. PL 71, fig- 200.
Light } r ellowish brown ; whorls cingulately sulcate, the upper
portions lightly crossed by longitudinal folds or ribs.
Length -7 inch.
Hal), unknown.
Probably a young shell ; generic characters doubtful.
P. RETICULATA, A. Adams. PI. 71, fig. 201.
Light yellowish brown, sometimes marbled with reddish brown;
surface closely reticulated by longitudinal and revolving fine lines.
Length, 1*25 inches.
New Caledonia; Tasmania.
Var. TASMANICA, Tenison-Woods.
Smaller ; white, with irregular varices.
Mr. Woods says that the type is common in Tasmania. I give
an illustration from a specimen received from that locality. Mr.
Adams has not published a figure of his species.
P, MARMORA'^.V. Reeve. PI. 71, figs. 202, 203.
Granulated by the intersection of obsolete longitudinal and
revolving ribs ; polished ; white with spots and clouds of light
chestnut. Length, 1-1 '5 inches.
Philip-pities ; Sandwich Isles ; Jupnn (Schrenck).
Var. .BILLELIEUSTI, Petit. Fig. 203.
This is narrower than the type but does not seem to differ.
Petit naively says of it : " Si quelqu'un nous disait que notre
espece est le Bucc. marmoratum decrit par M. Reeve, nous
n'oserions, en veritc afllrmer le contrairc."
The variety is found at Xew Caledonia, and Viti Isles. The
form of this species is that of Pisania, but its sculpture is more
like Cantharus, and it might be placed in the latter genus with
perfect propriety.
P. CINIS, Reeve. PL 71, fig. 204.
Reddish white, the granules chocolate-color. Length, 1 inch.
Galapagos Is., (under stones).
Reeve says, u The granules of this shell impart a rough touch
to it, resembling that of a coal cinder." I think it very probably
identical with P. marmorata.
148
PISANIA.
P. PAZI, Crosse. PL 71, fig. 205.
Brownish black ; livid within the aperture ; lip margin and
columella tinted with yellowish brown. Length, 40 mill.
Hob. unknown.
This species also, as well as P. cinis, Reeve, may be a form of
P. marmorata, Reeve.
P. MACULOSA, Lam. PI. 71, figs. 206-209.
Olive-brown, yellowish white or light purple, profusely streaked
and spotted with chestnut-brown, with frequently a light central
band ; interior brownish or chocolate, showing the white band.
Sometimes dark chocolate, with numerous white spots and band.
Length, -75 to 1-25 inches.
Mediterranean (littoral), Azores ; St. Croix, W. I. f
Fossil in several parts of Southern Europe.
This species is known to many European naturalists under the
name of P. pusio. Linn., but the type of pusio is a very different
shell, being the West Indian P.plumata, Gmel. = articulata, Lam.
Gmelin has called it striata, and his name has priority over
maculosa, but the latter is so well known that I will not displace
it. Specimens in the collection of the Philadelphia Academy
are labelled " St. Croix, W. I., R. E. Griffith," but the species luis
not been otherwise reported from the West Indies. Buc. jEtliiopx,
Phil. (fig. 209), is evident^ a very dark, immature maculosa.
P. JANEIRENSE, Phil. PL Tl, fig. 210.
Fusiform, solid, transversely obsoletely lirate ; dark brown,
longitudinally flecked with white, with a brown articulated white
revolving band. Length, 1*5 inch.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil.
The greater size and solidity are the chief distinctive features ;
it is very likely only a finely grown P. maculosa, Lam.
P. CINGULATA, Reeve. PL 71, figs. 211, 212.
Yellowish brown, with narrow chestnut revolving threads,
which are frequently interrupted, causing the coloring to appear
as revolving rows of spots ; light chocolate within the aperture,
ridged. Length, 1 to 1'25 inches,
Loo Choo Is.
Reeve described this peculiar, thick shell without locality, and
at first I was disposed to regard it as a variety of Eutliria lineata,
BUTHRIA. 149
Martyn, but the heavy appearance and great general similitude
to P. maculosa, ascertained by the examination of specimens
collected by Dr. Wm. Stimpson, of the U. S. N. Pacific Expl.
Exped., show that its proper place is next after the common
European species. Buccinum guttatum, Phil., an unfigured spe-
cies from Java (?), appears from the description to be very similar
to P. cingulata.
P. CINGILLA, Reeve. PL 11, fig. 213.
Covered with fine revolving grooves ; reddish chestnut, with
a central white band. Length, 22 mill.
Hal), unknown.
P. GUTTATA, Busch. PL 71, fig. 214.
Reddish brown, with white or yellowish blotches and angular
markings. Length, I'l inch.
Hob. unknown.
Looks very much like a Columbella.
P. SOLOMONENSIS, E. A. Smith. PL 71, fig. 217.
Granular; Whitish, with two, more or less interrupted brown
bands. Length, 8 mill.
Solomon's Is.
P. GLIRINA, Blainv. PL 71, figs. 215, 210.
Violet-grey, maculated longitudinally with reddish brown ;
columella yellowish, aperture grey. Length, *75 inch.
Australia? Island of Tonga-Tabou ?
Kiener, Kiister and Reeve figure this as discolor, Quoy, but
the latter is a very different shell and belongs to the Purpurinae.
Indeterminate Pisanise.
P. MOLLIS, Gould. Simoda, Japan.
P. FILARIS, A. Adams. China.
P. LUCTUOSA, Tapparonc-Canefri. Mauritius.
Neither of the above have been figured.
Genus EUTHRIA, Gray.
E. CORNEA, Linn. PL 72, figs. 218, 219.
Yellowish white, reddish or purplish, variously painted with
brown ; interior of aperture purple-brown.
Length 1-75 to 2-5 inches.
Mediterranean, 5 to 15 fathoms
Fossil ; miocene and pliocene of Southern Europe.
150 ELTHRfA.
B. ARACANENSIS, Angas. PI. 72, fig. 220.
Pale olivaceous brown, with longitudinal irregular, chestnut
markings ; aperture pale flesh-color. Length, 2 inches.
Aracan.
Appears very like a Siphonalia, and is the most ponderous
species of the genus.
E. PLUMBEA, Phil. PI. 72, figs. 221-226.
Smooth, or upper whorls slightly costate in fresh specimens ;
ashy brown, sometimes light chocolate.
Length, 1-25 to 1*5 inches.
(Jape Horn to Chili ; Japan.
Var. FERREA, Reeve. PI. 72, fig. 223.
Spirally lineated with brown.
Japan.
E. ferrea, Reeve, and E. viridula, Dunker (fig. 225), from
Japan, are doubtless the same as E. plumbea, notwithstanding
the great difference of locality : that of plambea being undoubt-
edly as quoted. As to the identity offerrea and plwuibea, P. P.
Carpenter and A. Adams, admit it, whilst E. A. Smith makes
viridula = ferrea. To these S3 r nonyms I add Fusus riifus,
Hombr. et Jacq. (fig. 222) Buccinum Mayellanicum, Phil. (fig.
224), and B. Patagonicum, Phil. (fig. 226), from Cape Horn.
E. SIMONIANA, Petit. PI. 72, fig. 227
Whitish (stained greenish) with reddish brown tlauies, spir-
ally lirate, lirae plano-convex ; brownish within the aperture.
Length, 48 mill.
Cape of Good Hope.
The color is difficult to ascertain, says M. Petit, on account
of a stain resulting from the waters where it lives.
E. ANTARCTICA, Reeve. PI. 72, fig. 228.
Whorls strongly plicately ribbed towards the apex, ribs of the
last whorl fading away ; epidermis thick, olive ; interior purple-
brown, columella and inner edge of lip white. Length, 1-3 inch.
Falkland Islands.
Its pertinence to this genus, where it is placed by H. and A.
Adams, is doubtful.
EUTHRIA. 151
E. LINEATA, Martyn. PL 72, figs. 229-231.
Yellowish white regularly lineated with chestnut revolving
bands, which are sometimes raised into low ridges ; pink or pur-
plish within the aperture. Length, 1-25 to 2 inches.
New Zealand.
A broader species than E. plumbed, Yar. f erred, but the young
shells of this species are very like the latter.
Yar. PERTINAX, Martens. Shell more ventricose, longitudinal
costse of the spire extending over the antepenultimate whorl ;
color bands less numerous. Length, 68 mill.
Auckland Islands.
This variety has not been figured.
Yar. LTTTORINOIDES, Reeve. PI. 72, fig. 231.
Smaller, more ponderous, canal shorter. The t} T pe figured by
Reeve (fig. 229), is a very different-looking shell, but I have a
specimen before me which seems to connect it with lineata.
New Zealand.
E. MARTENSTANA, Hutton.
Smaller than Littorinoides, much thinner, spiral whorls more
distinctly costulate. Length, '7 inch.
New Zealand.
Not figured. Will very probably prove to be a synonym of
the above species.
E. DIRA, Reeve. PI. 72, figs. 232, 233.
Vpper whorls longitudinally plicate, plicae becoming evanescent
on the body-whorl ; whole surface deeply engraved with narrow
revolving channels, making the interstices appear as though
covered with revolving, flat-top ribs ; sometimes these ribs are
divided by an impressed line into pairs. Grayish brown, revolv-
ing ribs darker; aperture yellowish 'brown, ribbed within and
stained darker in the interstices a the lip.
Length, 1-25-1-75 inches.
Monterey, Gal, to Sttka.
F. Sitchensis, Midd., and F. incims, Glcl. (fig. 233), are
synonyms; the figure of the latter is, however, not very charac-
teristic of the species, being too nuieh inflated and with the canal
not sufficiently produced.
152 METULA
E. BICINCTA, Hutton. PL 72, fig-. 234.
Smooth, white, porcellanous, with two chestnut bands on the
body-whorl and one on the spiral whorls. Length, I'l inches.
Chatham and Auckland Isles.
E. VITTATA, Quoy. PL 72, figs. 235, 236.
Yellowish, with two brown bands on the body, and one on the
spire ; bands made up of three approximate lines.
Length, -75 inch.
New ZeulfUuL
A smaller, heavier species than the preceding ; lip thickened
and dentate within, canal more produced. E. trilineata, fleeve
(fig. 236), appears to be the same.

E. FUSCATA, Brug. PL 72. fig, 237.
Reddish brown, brown within the aperture. Length, 31 mill.
Coast of Peru, abundant.
I am not able to assign this species to any genus with cer-
tainty ; it was described as a Bucvinum, which of course it is not.
Genus METULA, H. and A. Adams.
Only four species have been described : they are deep-water
shells, conchologically closely related to Pisania, etc., but with
finely cancellated surface. The dentition resembles somewhat
that of the Turbinellidae.

fined to the upper part of the spire. Length, 37 mill.

M. HINDSII, H. and A. Adams. PI. 72, fig. 240.
White, with four revolving series of brownish maculations.
Length, 17 mill.
West Coast of Veragua ; in mud, at a few fathoms* depth.
Doubtful Species.
M. BELLA, C. B. Ad.
White, with reddish brown spots in spiral series, mostly in
three series, one above and two next below the middle of the
whorls; with ten rather narrow prominent ribs, and spiral raised
lines, nodulous at their intersection. Rather elongate, with seven
very convex whorls, a long ovate aperture, and a wide, mode-
rately lengthened canal. Length '44 inch, diameter -21 inch.
A single specimen only obtained. This was subsequently
examined by P. P. Carpenter and said by him to resemble, a
young Metula: I am inclined to think it more likely a Golumbella.
In his Mazatlau Catalogue, Carpenter enumerates four doubtful
Mctuhi', to which he does not give specific names. It is not at all
probable that they belong to the genus.
(Jenus CANTHARUS, lioltcii.
Swaiusou described a group Tritonidea which Messrs. H. and
A. Adams make a subgenus under Can-f.ha/'Hi*, distinguishing it
-from the typical form by " Shell turreted ; canal lengthened."
The distinction is altogether arbitrary, as the spire in the different
species varies considerably from the typical species of Gantharus
to much higher, but with no considerable break in the series,
whilst the canal can scarcely be called " lengthened " in any of
them. I have suppressed the subgenus as superfluous and con-
fusing.

154 CANTHARUS.
C. SPIRALIS, Gray. PL 73, figs. 242, 243.
White, more or less marbled with reddish brown ; covered by
a dark brown, sparsely pilose epidermis. Length, 1/5 inches.
Mauritius.
Buccinum Prevostii, Yal. (fig. 243), is evidently a S3^nonym.
C. TRANQUEBARICUS, Gmel. PL 73, fig. 244.
White, or with the revolving ridges sometimes reddish, under
a thin, light brown epidermis ; margin of aperture sometimes
tinged with orange. Length, 1-5 inches.
Tranqucbar.
The shoulder of the whorls is more convex, the longitudinal
ribs are more numerous and narrower and extend over the spiral
whorls, where they are obsolete in C. spiralis : the revolving
lines which take the place of the more sharply defined and less
numerous revolving ribs and sulci of spiralis will also serve to
distinguish the two species.
C. MELANOSTOMA, Sowb. PL 73, fig. 245.
Orange-brown, usually interruptedly stained with darker color
on the longitudinal ribs. Aperture white, with an orange-brown
lip and chocolate columella. Length, 1-5-2-25 inches.
Ccylotu
This species was confounded by Kienor and others with C.
Tranquebarieus, from which it differs not only in its greater size
and solidity, and in coloration, but in its wider, cord-like revolv-
ing ribs and more apparent shoulder,
C. IOSTOMA, Gray.
Shell ovate, solid, dark brown, closely spirally striated, slightly
longitudinally plaited, covered with a thin, hairy periostnicum ;
spire short conical ; last whorl subangular and nodulose behind.
Mouth ovate, large, black ; throat purple, grooved ; outer lip
crenulated ; inner lip rather expanded, and strongly veined.
Length, 1'5 inches.
Pacific Ocean.
The above is the original description : the species has not been
figured nor recognized by subsequent authorities. It has some
affinity with melanostoma, and may possibly be a form of that
species.
CANTHARUS. 155
C. ERYTHROSTOMA, Reeve. PI. 73, fig. 246.
Yellowish brown, the ribs stained with chestnut or chocolate ;
margin of aperture and columella orange or red.
Length. 1/25 to 1/5 inches.
Ceylon; Japan.
The more rounded whorls, deeper sutures and slighter sub-
stance, as well as the coloration, distinguish this from the following
species. C. fumosus sometimes has a yellowish lip also, but
generally, on good specimens, there is a light revolving band,
which is barely indicated upon erythrostoma.
C. FUMOSUS, Dillw.- PL 73, figs. 247-255.
Yellowish orange or light brown, the longitudinal ribs chestnut
or chocolate, usually a revolving white band below the periphery ;
lip and columella sometimes stained with yellow.
Length, 1 to 1*25 inches.
Red Sea ; Ceylon ; Singapore ; Philippines ; Japan ;
Australia; Polynesia.
Buccinum strigosum, Gmelin has priority, but the name is not
adopted because he included two species in his description. The
principal recent synonyms are C. Proteus, Reeve (figs. 247-249)
and C. undosus, Kiener and Quoy (not Linn., fig. 250).
Var. RUBIGINOSUS, Reeve. PI. 73, fig. 251.
Tliis is a narrower form, with more elate spire ; orange brown,
white banded, usually not darker on the ribs. Its metropolis is
the Red Sea, whence it extends throughout the Indian Ocean
into Polynesia, merging into the typical fumosus. One of these
slight variations has been called C. subrubiginosus, by Mr. E. A.
Smith (fig. 252), and conies from Japan. The specimen figured
is not fully adult. Other species, founded on the narrow variety
are C. biliratus, Reeve (fig. 253), from Galapagos and Yiti Is-
lands, and C. nigricostatus, Reeve (fig. 254), said to come from
Panama, which I doubt. Pisania Desmoulinsi, Montrouzier (fig.
255), from New Caledonia, is synonymous also.
C. CARINIFERUS, Kuster. PL 73, fig. 256.
Described by Krauss as C. rubiginosus, from which it differs
in the ribs being obsolete and the spiral striae well developed on
the body-whorl. Mjirtons and Kobolt have placed it in Gomi-
156 CANTHARUS.
nella, the former as synonymous with G. porcata, the latter as a
distinct species; but the want of a superior depression on the
whorls and the possession of tubercles near the base of the colu-
mella show that Krauss was right in comparing it with G. rubi-
yinosus, although it may not be identical with that species. It is
chestnut-brown, with a white band.

C. LTMBATUS, Phil. PI. 73, fig. 251.
White, marbled with orange. Longitudinal ribs fourteen, re-
volving stride eight ; lip with an external varix. Length, 10 mill.

I know nothing of this minute species ; it is a very doubtful
one.
C. EXTENSUS, Bunker. PI. 13, fig. 258.
Yellowish brown, generally with two white revolving bands on
the body-whorl. Length, 15 mill.
Java.
Looks very much like a minute edition of fumosus var, rubi-
ginosus.
C. BOLIVIANUS, Souleyet. PI. 13, fig. 259.
Yellowish brown, not banded. Length, 1 mill.
Cobija ; Bolivia.
Evidently allied to the above.
C. CAPENSTS, Bunker. PI. 13, fig. 200.
Dirty yellow, variegated with brown. Length, 22 mill.
Cape of Good Hope.
Among eight specimens, two had white bands. The specimen
figured is evidently not adult. I cannot, for want of material,
decide upon its position, but think it will pro veto be synonymous
with C. fumosus. Kobelt's figure of this species is incorrect, and
represents Pisania lacertina, Gould

Dull orange-brown, white within. Surface cancellated by close
longitudinal and revolving ribs. Length, 22 mill.

The smaller size, and more numerous ribs are relied upon as
distinguishing features from G. fumosus var. rubiginosus^ but I
think it may prove to be a stunted variety of that species. Prof.

Morch has labelled specimens in our collection " C. rubiginosus."
The longitudinal ribs are sixteen to eighteen in number.
C. MENKEANUS, Dunker. PL 73, fig. 204.
Ribs yellowish brown on a white surface, eleven to fifteen in
number; a white band on the middle of the body-whorl.
Length, *5 to *6 inch.
Japan.
A. Adams (Ann. Mag. Y, 1870), identifies with this Engina
concinna, Reeve, but Lischke (Moll. Jap. Suppl. 50), points out
the great difference' between the two shells. The illustration
which I copy, is either a very poor one, or it is taken from a
worn specimen. I conjecture that it will be found to differ not
much from G+fumosus var. rubiginosus.
C, CECILLTI, Phil. PI. 73, figs. 262, 263.
Longitudinal ribs six in number, which become true varices on
the body-whorl ; yellowish to chestnut brown, the revolving striae
darker, frequently a white band below the periphery.
Length, 28 to 38 mill.
Chirm ; J<tpan; Torres Straits.
Turbinella Cecillii has not been figured, but the description
is unmistakable and has priority over Buccinum ligneum, Reeve
(fig. 2r>2), B. balteatum. Reeve (fig. 263), and B. Cumingianum,
Dunker. Philippi described the species as a doubtful Turbinella
on account of the tubercles at the base of the columella, which
are transverse and oblique, somewhat resembling the plaits in
that genus. Frequently, the ribs become true varices on the
body-whorl, which, with their smaller number and greater size
will distinguish them from C. erythrostoma.
C. FUSULUS, Brocchi. PL 73, fig. 265.
This mollusk, described seventy years ago as a fossil species,
has recently been found living in the Mediterranean Sea. I have
not seen it and have not access to the paper by Libassi, in which,
under the name of Spadse, it is redescribed and figured. My illus-
tration is from Brocchi, and apparently resembles a Murex rather
than a Cantharus.

C. D'ORBIGNYI, Payr. PI, 73, figs. 266 y 2C>7.
Yellowish to chocolate, with a median white band ; aperture

C. SCABRA, Monts.
This name is proposed by Monterosato, without description or
figure for a shell which he previously designated as C. d'Orbignyi,
var. subspinosa likewise without diagnosis. I do not know the
species.

C. ELATA, P. P, Carpenter.
Shell elate, white, strigate or maculate with reddish brown ;

dinal ribs six to eight, crossed by alternately larger and smaller
revolving lirulae ; canal narrow, subrecurved ; aperture subovatc,
dentate within. Length, '68 inch.
(Jape St. Lucas, L. California.
The description indicates imperfect specimens. I have before
me a shell received from the Smithsonian Institution as from
Cape St. Lucas, and identified by Carpenter as G. luyubris, C. B.
Ad. This shell corresponds so well with the above description
that I suppose it to be the same ; but it is in too imperfect condi-
tion to figure advantageously.
C. PUNCTICULATUS, Dunker.
Shell small, ovately acute, more or less graceful, subfusiform,
transversely lirate, lirnu crowded, longitudinally costate, costae
gnuiose. Whitish or yellowish, the nodules obscurely fuscous.
Length, 10-15 mill.

I am not acquainted with this species Mr. Tapparone-Canefri
suspects that Buccinum seriale, Deshaj^es, will prove to be iden-
tical with it, in which case the latter name will have priority. It
is said to resemble Buc. Scacchianum (= pictus, Scacchi).
C. PAPUANUS, Tapparone-Canefri.
Small, ovate-fusiform, attenuate above and below, graceful.
Color white and light brown, with darker spots upon the spiral
lines. Spire subturretted, apex smooth. Whorls eight, more or
less angulate above, the three upper ones smooth, the rest spirally
lirate and obscurely longitudinally costate ; lirae in last whorl

columella smooth, canal rather long, reflected.
Length, 9-10 mill.
Papuan Is.
Not figured. Said to be distinguished from G. puncticulatus
by the smaller size, the smaller number and greater size of the
spiral lirae and costse and by the angular whorls of the spire.
C. LANCEOLATUS, Koch. PI 74, fig. 274.
Yellowish, white banded. Length, 13 mill.
Nab. u-n known.
A shell of doubtful generic position, described as a Fusus, but
which Philippi remarks, might as well be referred to Murex,
Purpura or Pyrula, the animal and operculum being unknown.
C. FILARIS, Garrett.
Shell solid, elongate, slenderly fusiform, light brownish, with
whitish mottlings and spirally lineated with deeper brown ; whorls
seven, convex, longitudinally and spirally ridged ; ridges small,
granulated at their points of intersection ; the transverse ones
alternately larger and smaller ; base contracted and produced
into a short, slightly -twisted canal ; aperture oblong, ovate, tawny
yellow and lirate within ; columella with several small nodules.

Samoa and Viti Isles ; very rare, under stones on reefs.
Unfigured.
0. GRACILIS, Reeve. PI. 74, fig. 275.
Whorls a little granulated in the middle, crossed by longitudi-
nal and transverse obtuse, granose ridges. Whitish, longitudinal
rows of granules orange-brown. Length, 1*25 inches.
Isl. of Masbate, Phi1ii>i>incx ; under stones at low water.
I suspect that this and the following species are really identical.
Their generic position is somewhat doubtful ; they might as well,
I think, be ranged with P. marmorata,, Reeve, in the genus
Pisania. I have before me sonic 1 shells collected by Mr. (iiirrett
at the Viti Islands which may possibly belong to this species.
C. CROCATUS, Reeve. PL 74, fig. 276.
Longitudinally very closely plicated, transversely granosely
ridged. Saffron-orange, speckled here and there with white ;
striae between the ridges of a darker orange-brown.

Longitudinally obliquely and very closely ribbed, ribs crossed
with small ridges. Brown-red, transverse ridges whitish.
Isle of Ticao, Philippines.
C. CROSSEANUS, Souverbie.
Fusiform, rough, longitudinally costate, cut into transverse
oblong granules by transverse sulci ; whorls eight to ten, sub-
carinated, convex, suture well marked. White, tinged with light
chestnut ; body-whorl with a fulvous, median band ; bluish white
within the aperture. Length, 13-20 mill.
New Caledonia.
Described originally as Yar. Artensis of Pisania Billeheustii,
Petit (=marmorata, Reeve), this species occupies an anomalous
generic position : it has not been figured.
C. ASPERA, Dunker.
Oblong fusiform, with six or seven slightly convex whorls,
longitudinally densely plicate, crossed by roughly granose revolv-
ing ridges ; white variegated with brown. Length, 12 mill.
Upolu.
This species is compared with Pisania marmorata, Reeve, but
differs in its much smaller size, rougher sculpture, thicker longi-
tudinal ribs, suture not incised, canal much shorter, varicose
labrum, etc. It has not been figured.
C. SAMOENSIS, Dunker.
Ovate, subturreted, cancellated by thick longitudinal plicae, and
revolving small ribs. White, unicolored or with interrupted
fuscous revolving lines, under a pallid corneous epidermis.
Whorls convex, with distinct suture, the last but little longer
than the spire ; canal deep, widely open. Length 14, lat. 7 mill.

Dark purplish or reddish brown, encircled by an irregular
broad whitish band, or irregularly spotted, grooves reddish.

Shell fusiform, thick, longitudinally flatly ribbed and trans-
versely ridged, the interstices filled with rows of muricated scales
(only seen under the lens), whitish, ornamented with a pure white
band in the centre of the whorls, and a faint brown one below ;
spire moderately elevated, apex blunt ; whorls six, almost flat,
suture impressed ; aperture ovate; canal short, slightly recurved ;
columella arched; outer lip crenulated, thickened externally,

Mr. Brazier has only seen one specimen of this species, which
is in the cabinet of Mr. W. F.'Petterd.

Epidermis olive, short pilose. Occasionally the shell has a
few large, rounded, longitudinal ribs.
C. GEMMATUS, Reeve. PL 74, fig. 283. .
Rusty brown, blotched with white, under an olive epidermis.
Revolving ridges broken up into chocolate-colored tubercles upon
the longitudinal ribs. Aperture white.
Length, 1'25 to 1-5 inches.
Monte Christi, W. Columbia (in clefts of the rocks) ; Mazatlan.
The interrupted revolving lines, more numerous ribs, higher
spire and less distinctly marked shoulder will serve to distinguish
this species from C. undosus.
C. CANCELLARIA, Conrad. PL 74, figs. 284, 285.
Fusiform, with longitudinal plicae, and more elevated, distant,
undulated, revolving costae, and intermediate fine lines ; whorls
longitudinally rugose ; aperture half as long as the shell ; labrum
with distant, acute, prominent lines within ; columella distinctly
plaited at base ; beak recurved ; color cinereous.
Length, 20 to 30 mill.
Ship Island, Gulf of Mexico; Cedar Key, Fla. (Calkins).
CANTHARUS. 163
Fusus Floridanus, Petit (fig. 285), is undoubtedly a synonym
of this species. Neither of the figures nor the specimens before me
are adult, and the shell is so close to G. gemmatus, as to suggest
identity ; the sole distinctive characters being a more elevated
spire, and more convex whorls.
C. TINCTA, Conrad. PI. 74, fig. 286.
Irregularly variegated with chocolate- and chestnut-brown and
white ; margin of lip frequently tinted with orange-brown. Lon-
gitudinal ribs rather small, close, irregular or evanescent; re-
volving ridges sometimes broken up into tubercles where they
cross the ribs ; spire conical, its whorls flattened.
Length, 1 to 1/5 inches.
Florida ; West Indies.
The ribs are more numerous, but not so large nor so markedly
tuberculate as in C. Coromandelianus, the latter possessing much
ruder sculpture and a decided shoulder on the body-whorl.
C. COROMANDELTANUS, Lam. PL 74, figs. 287-290.
Chestnut-brown and white, variegated, under a thin, rather
smooth, dark olive epidermis. Length, *75 to 1*25 inches.
Panama to Mazatlan, on rocks at low water ; West Indies ;
Brazil; Coromandel?
A very robust, wide species, rudely, prominently sculptured,
with very decided shoulder and produced posterior sinus. I can-
not detect any difference between the typical W. Indian (and
Coromandel?) form and C. ringens (fig. 288), from the West
coast of North America. C. pastinaca, Reeve (fig. 289), from
the Bay of Montija, W. Columbia, is probably a variety only.
Yar. LAUTUS, Reeve. PL 74, fig. 290.
Differs from the type in coloration, the prevailing arrangement
being chestnut variegated with white on the nodules, with a white
band on the periphery ; sometimes the shoulder and base of the
shell are both white, when it appears to have two irregular brown
bands upon a white ground.
West Indies.

Brown, with reddish brown revolving lines ; strongly longi-
tudinally ribbed. Length, 37 mill.
Near Rio Janeiro, Brazil.
164 CANTHARUS.
I am not acquainted with this species. It was described as a
Murex, but the want of varices and of an internally thickened
lip-margin determines me to place it here.
C. TISSOTI, Petit. PL 74, figs. 291, 292.
A very doubtful species, described as a Purpura, from Bom-
bay ; I find no record of its identification by Indian conchologists,
however. The two figures at first sight appear to represent dif-
ferent species, one of them resembling a young Eicinula ; but I
have before me West Indian specimens referred to the species
by Robert Swift, which are intermediate in character between the
two. Is it a variety of G. Goromandelianus ?
C. SANGUINOLENTUS, Duclos. PI. 74, figs. 293-295.
Variegated with clouds of chocolate, chestnut and yellowish,
under a thin olive epidermis ; aperture white within ; margin of
lip and columella blood-red, the latter covered with white
tubercles. Length, 1 inch.
Panama (under stones at low water) to Mazatlan.
G. haemastoma, Gray (fig. 294), and C. Janelii, Yal. (fig. 295),
are synonyms.
C. ELEGANS, Gray. PI. 74, figs. 29G, 297.
Chestnut-brown, variegated with white, especially on the no-
dules. Epidermis short, fibrous, olive-brown.
Length, 1'75 to 2 inches.
St. JElena, W. Columbia (in clefts of rocks at low water) ;
Panama ; Mazatlan.
This species is more generally known as G. insiynis, Reeve
(fig. 297), but Gray's name and figure were published twelve
years earlier.
C. INCA, d'Orb. PL 74, fig. 301.
Greenish brown ; reddish brown within the aperture.
Length, 20 mill.
Callao, Peru; at 8 or 10 metres.
The figure is a copy of that given by d'Orbigny and is nearly
one-half larger than the dimensions given in his text (and above) :
it is probably inaccurately drawn as it represents an internally
thickened and dentate lip margin, whilst the description only
mentions a sulcated lip. Is it possibty identical with the last
species ?
CANTHARUS. 165
C. ^EQUILIRATUS, Carpenter.
Like G. insignis ( elegans) but much smaller, with tumid
whorls, the ribs continuous to the base, crossed by equal-sized
lirse, of which five are shown in the spiral whorls ; basal plication
of the columella angular. Length, *98 inch.
Mazatlan ; one dead specimen.
Carpenter adds to his above description " (tpagodus, Yar.) "
sandwiched between the generic 'and specific names, and as syno-
nymy " Comp. Buccinum pagodus, Reeve," etc. It is a pity to
add to our already overburthened synon} T my by describing shells
from single dead specimens, and which moreover, so greatly
resemble other species as to suggest identity even to those who
describe them as distinct. Carpenter was a great sinner in this
respect.
C. VARIEGATUS, Gray. PI. 74, figs. 298, 299.
Yariegated with chocolate-brown clouds upon an ashy gray
surface, with narrow, crowded, purple-black revolving lines.
Length, 1'25-1*5 inches.
Senegal; Cape de Verd Isles ; Hio Janeiro.
Two prior names have been used : Buc. lineatum, Gmel., which
is really Littorina angulifera, and Murex sulcatus, Gmel., founded
on Le Tafon, of Adanson, whose figure is too poor for positive
identification with this species.
Purpura viverratoides, Orb. (Yol. II, 168, t. 50, f. 103), placed
by me erroneously in the synonymy of P. hsemastoma, is a
synonym ; as is also Buc. viverraium, Kiener (fig. 299), errone-
ously reported from the Mediterranean lay that author.
C. DISTORTUS, Gray.. PI. 74, figs. 300, 305.
White, variegated and longitudinally striped with chestnut-
brown ; epidermis brown-olive, short, scabrous, rather persistent;
aperture white. Length, 1'25-1*75 inches.
W. Columbia ; Panama.
The thickened, ear-like extension of the posterior margin of
the aperture of the adult shell gives it a unique and distorted
appearance. The spiral whorls are cancellated by longitudinal
ribs and revolving ridges : the former become obsolete on the
body-whorl and the latter are only present upon its basal portion,

Is a Cantharus, according to Dr. J. E. Gray, but was described
as a Murex. I give a copy of a figure in Sowerby's Conch. Illus-
trations (PL T4, fig. 303) which, if it truly represents the shell,
shows it to be a Murex, closely allied to, if not identical with M-

C. ORUENTATA, Gmelin.
In the Index to Vol. II, I have referred a portion of the
figures in Kiister representing Pur pur a cruentata to Pisaniinse.
Upon re-examining them I prefer to consider them as Kiister has
done.
C. IMPROBUS, Gould.
In the Index to Vol. II, I have referred this species to Pollia
(== Cantharus}. It is said to resemble buxeus, Brod., but is
shorter. Upon studying the description I believe the balance of
characters is decidedly in favor of considering it a Murex
( Ocinebra), as originally described by Dr. Gould. It is unfigured,

and the type, I think, has been destroyed by fire ; if this is so., it
will probably never be identified with certainty.
C. GUALTIERIANUS, Kiener. PI. 14, fig. 304.
This is said to be a well-grown specimen of Purpura Nassoides,
Quoy and Gaimard, but, unless Kiener's description and figure
are both at fault, he is very wrong in referring it to a species
which differs so materially from his own in having the outer lip
thickened and dentate within. P. Nassoides is a Ricinula and
= E. chaidea (See Vol. II, p. 187), whilst Gualtierianus is
probably a Cantharus and certainly very closely allied in form
and sculpture to C.fumosus, Dillw.
Genus BTJCCINTJM, Linnaeus.
The group of shells to which the generic name Buccinum was
originally applied, a century ago, by Linne, has been found by
subsequent investigation to contain many heterogeneous forms,
and has consequently been greatly subdivided. The name has
been retained for the genus typified by Buccinum undatum, by
common consent, and, I believe, in accordance with the best
rules of nomenclature. It is true that Linnets first species that
which is to be selected, as in cases where no type is distinctly
specified is a Dolium. But in the case of Linne's genera, he
must be considered to have indirectly specified the type, as he
has expressly stated that, in his view, where it becomes necessary
to divide a group, formerly supposed to be one genus, the original
name must be retained for the subdivision containing the most
common species ; in other words, that the most common species
must be considered as the type of its genus. And he -must
therefore have regarded the undatum, the most common of all
his Buccinums, as the type of the genus.
The Scandinavian naturalists have generally retained the name
Tritonium of Miiller for this genus, but Linne's name has priority
by many years. Tritonium, as proposed, and as frequently used
since, would include both the Murex and the Buccinum of Linne*.
The genus is too well known to require particular description
here, and few points require special remark. Among the spiral
grooves and striae or ridges with which the shell is always more

or less deeply sculptured, two kinds may usually be distinguished,
a large and a small kind, those of the latter being by far the more
numerous, and distributed upon the surface of the others. These
kinds we shall call, for convenience, the primary and secondary
grooves, or ridges, as the case may be. The difference between
them is very conspicuous in B. glaciale. The columella has
normally three folds, an upper, middle, and lower one ; the lower
one constituting the oblique inferior margin of the columella.
These folds are not always distinct, but all of them may be made
out in B. tenue. The middle fold is obsolete in most of the
species, but is very prominent and tooth-like in B. ciliatum. The
layers of the shell are very distinct in this genus, the outer coat
being most frequently of a brownish color. - The periostracum is
generally ciliated with minute processes along the lines of growth,
corresponding to their intersections with the secondary ridges.
The operculum is oval or subcircular, and may have the nucleus
near the centre, or more or less approximated to the posterior
(outer) margin, according to the species. On the lingual ribbon,
as in all the Buccinidse, we find three teeth in each row, the
central one of which is lamelliform, with denticles on its poster-
ior edge ; while each lateral tooth has two strong hook-shaped
denticles, with smaller ones between them. The denticles of the
central tooth are more numerous than in Neptunea.
With one or two doubtful exceptions, the genus Buccinum is
restricted geographically to the temperate and frigid seas of the
northern hemisphere. More careful examination, both of the
shell and soft parts of the Antarctic species referred to the genus,
is required, before deciding upon their actual pertinence to it.*
Geologically, the history of the genus commences in the Plio-
cene formation. They are found in the European tertiary
deposits of that age, even as far south as the shores of the Medi-
terranean. They become very numerous in the Pleistocene
deposits, both of Europe and North America, but reach their
maximum development in the existing seas.
The shells of the genus Buccinum are peculiarly liable to

belong to other genera; the genus is limited to northern seas. G. W. T,, Jr.
BUCCINUM. 169
variation both in form and sculpture, and to obsolescence or ero-
sion of the surface-markings. The identification of imperfect or
worn specimens is extremely difficult in this genus.* The late
Dr. William Stimpson studied with great care the species of Buc-
cinum, having before him fine suites of specimens and possessing
a special experience in this genus which few of his successors
can claim to have enjoyed. I think it inadvisable, however, to
use his published researches as the skeleton of the present mono-
graph, subscribing to the doubt expressed by Dr. Jeffreys that
" Whether all those which he reckoned distinct will stand the
test of a more extensive examination of this extremely variable
group is questionable." During the fifteen years that have
elapsed since the publication of Stimpson 's researches, the num-
ber of nominal species has been largely increased, mainly through
the labors of W. H. Dall in Arctic Western America, of Yerkriizen
in the waters of Newfoundland, and of Sars and Friele in Nor-
way ; still, no monography of the genus subsequent to that of
Stimpson, has appeared. The earlier monographs by Reeve,
Kiister and Kiener contain, of course, heterogeneous assemblages
of species belonging to numerous genera and are therefore almost
utterly valueless for the purpose of comparison and classification
of the species.
I annex the synoptical table of species given in connection
with Stimpson 's monograph.
Very few of the later species being known to me autoptically,
I fear that this portion of my work may be considered autosche-
diastical by some of my brother conchologists.
The great variability of the species, a common characteristic
of Arctic mollusca, has caused almost every student of the Buc-
cime, to estimate differently the range of variation permissable
within specific limits, so that what is referred to by one author
as B. undatum, for instance, may include less or more than the
specific form as herein limited, or as understood by all others ;
may include portions of related species, which thus become dis-
membered and themselves distributed among their allies or may
refer exclusively to forms herein characterized as distinct.

Since the preparation of my manuscript on Buccinum, Dr. J.
Gwyn Jeffreys has published a paper upon their S3^nonymy,
which, in view of his discriminative ability and experience with
BUCCINUM. 171
Northern marine shells, is entitled to the careful consideration
of those specially interested in the correct elimination of specific
forms. I have not thought it advisable to change the synonomy
in accordance with Dr. Jeffreys' views, because my conclusions,
carefully worked out from the (inadequate) material accessible
to me, ought therefore to have a certain value, but I deem it ad-
visable to insert here Dr. Jeffreys' paper in full for the purpose
of comparison with my own results results which would doubt-
less have been much modified if this paper had been published
before I commenced my stud} 7 of the genus. It will be seen that
a good number of species included in my monograph are omitted
from Dr. Jeffrey's paper.
On the Northern Species of Buccinum. By J. Gwyn Jeffreys.*
" The late Prof. Stimpson published, in the ' Canadian Natural-
ist ' for October, 1865, a ' Review of the Northern Buccinums.'
and gave sixteen species with fifteen synonyms. Having had the
privilege of examining his types, as well as those of Linne,
Fabricius, Turton, Bennett, Broderip, Forbes, Moller, Hancock,
Morch, Reeve, Gr. 0. Sars, Friele, Yerkriizen, and others, I
thought a revised list of the species might be useful, and I now
submit it. I recognize eight species only, with forty-six
synonyms ; and I believe even that number of species may be
reduced when more intermediate forms are observed. Their
fecundity and extensive distribution in the northern hemisphere,
added to the difference in the conditions of habitat and tempera-
ture, would account for the great variability of the species.
Buccinopxis connects Buccinum. with Fusus. The generic name
Tritonium is undoubtedly subsequent to Buccinum, and included
Fusus, and what I consider its subgenera, viz., Sipho, Neptunea,
Chrysodomus, Volutopsis, and Boreofusus.

and somewhat truncated at the base, more or less solid (accord-
ing to the habitat), opaque, and usually lustreless ; sculpture,
numerous fine thread-like spiral ridges, some of which are much
stronger than others and are arranged in bands (from three to
seven small ridges between every large one) ; the whole surface
is covered with extremely delicate and close-set longitudinal
striae, which seldom, however, cross the spiral ridges so as to
cause any decussation ; the upper portion of the body-whorl and
of the four or five preceding whorls is often strengthened by
curved ribs or folds (like buttresses), of which there are from
twelve to fifteen on the penultimate whorl ; top whorl smooth ;
the base is girded by a very large, strong, and obliquely-twisted
keel. Color mostly yellowish white, tinged with reddish brown,
sometimes white banded with the latter color, or reddish brown
with a pink tinge and beautifully mottled with white ; inside
yellow, white, pale reddish brown or chocolate. Epidermis pale
brownish yellow, rather thin, usually rising into close-set laminar
folds, corresponding with the longitudinal striae, which form
short, spiiious processes on the outer ridges. Spire regularly

B. undatum being the typical species of the genus, I have
deemed it advisable to copy the somewhat extended diagnosis of
the British specimens given by Jeffreys. I add his further re-
marks in order to complete the portraiture of the species: the
diverse conditions under which the varieties are found perhaps
sufficiently account for their existence.
" Habitat : Every kind of ground, in all parts of the British
seas, from the shore to the greatest known depths. The first
variety is peculiar to hard ground in the coralline zone, through-
out the Hebrides, Orkneys and Shetland ; it is not common.
Second, among stones and on mud, in the higher part of the
laminarian zone, north of England, as well as Ireland, Scotland,
and Shetland. Third, brackish water at Southampton and Ips-
wich. Fourth, coralline zone of England, Wales and Ireland ;
not common. Fifth, Dogger bank ; Mr. Leckenby has a speci-
men six and one-half inches long. Sixth, soft ground in the deep-
water zone, west of Ireland, outer Hebrides, Orkneys and
Shetland ; I have a specimen of a pure white color. Besides
these, which I regard as the principal varieties, others have been
described by Professor King and Mr. A. "Hancock.
" In horticultural language, the species is very much given to
sporting. Every abnormal growth of the shell can be disting-
uished from those of a specific or varietal sort by examining the
apex or nucleus ; this will be seen to be regular, the malformation
having subsequently taken place, and being in most instances
caused by some injury to the outer edge of the mantle.
"The typical form and variety striatum have been recorded
from every recent geological formation in the northern latitudes
of both hemispheres, and as far back as the Coralline Crag ; Pal-
ermo (Philippi). Mr. James Smith found the monstrosity
carinatum fossil at Bute, and Mr. Grainger at Belfast.

"American specimens of the common sort are smaller than
European ; and Stimpson endeavors to show that they belong to
a distinct species, because of ' a fades difficult to describe.' * If
the supposed difference cannot be defined by any words or delinea-
tion, and the only substitute offered is the nearly exploded idea
of representation of species, it is a pity that naturalists should be
so unnecessarily perplexed.
" In Scotland and Shetland this common shell-fish is called
' Buckle/ in the Isle of Man (according to Forbes) ' mutlag,' in
Holland ' wulk ' (Born), in France ' bouche-aurore ' (Lamarck),
at Brest ' grosse bigorne ' and at Rochelle ' burgau morchon '
(De Montfort), and in La Manche 'ran' (De Gervillej.f The
animal emits a thin and copious slime. From its size and tough-
ness it makes a good subject for anatomical demonstration
although Cuvier has left very little to be known about that part
of its history. J It burrows in the sand like Natica catena ; and
its foot is similarly traversed by numerous canals, which admit
of its being distended by water ; this enters by an orifice at the
upper corner of the mouth of the shell, and finds its way, through
the abdominal cavity, into the vascular system of the foot.
When it burrows, the end of the pallial tube or siphon is either
exposed or but slightly covered by the sand, so as to supply the
gills with water or air as the case may require. Beudant's ex-
periments show that it cannot live in fresh water. The formation
of two opercula by the same individual appears to be congenital,
and not owing to an injury of the opercular lobe, which would
cause an aborted or defective growth ; for in some of these mon-
strous specimens the twin opercula are so large that they are
doubled or folded inwards, side by side, in order to fit the mouth
of the shell. This mollusk is very voracious, and is often caught
* In his Synoptical Table, Stimpson distinguishes the American form
(B. undulatum) by its short columella, and the sinus of the outer lip being
near the suture instead of near the middle. These distinctions usually
hold good, but not always : it is not difficult to find American specimens
with the European characters, and vice-versa.
f The common generic name inEnglish is "whelk."

on the fishermen's hooks. Orsted tells us, in his interesting
treatise ' De regionibus marinis,' that great numbers of B. un-
datum and Fusus antiquus are collected in the Cattegat for fish-
bait, by putting a dead cod into a wicker basket and letting it
down on a muddy bottom ; it is soon taken up half-filled with
whelks. The same method is adopted for their capture on the
English and Irish coasts. The whelk affords an illustration of the
lex talionis ; fishes in their turn devour it with equal greediness.
I have seen between thirty and forty shells of B. undatum ex-
tracted from the stomach of a single cod. After the shell has
been cleared out and ejected by the fish, it makes a convenient
habitation for the hermit-crab. Other nations have not quite so
great a fancy as ours for eating the whelk ; perhaps it is an indige-
nous taste ; for when the Romans were in this country, they
seem to have acquired it being one which they could not gratify
in Italy. Shells of B. undatum, mixed with those of the oyster,
have been noticed among the ruins of a Roman station at Rich-
borough. At the enthronization feast of William Warham,
Archbishop of Canterbury, on the 9th of March, 1504, there
were provided ' 8000 whelks at 5s. per 1000.' In the shell-fish
market at Billingsgate the present species goes by the name of
the ' white ' or ' common ' whelk, in contradistinction to Fusus
antiquus, which is there called the 4 red ' or ' almond ' whelk.
My obliging informant, Mr. Baxter, says, 4 Wilks must be sold
the same day we receive them at market in the summer, being
the day after they are caught ; if the supply is greater than the
demand, we boil them, and they keep good for several days.'
Evidence was given before a select committee of the House of
Commons in the Session of 1866, on the ' Whitstable oyster-
fishery extension Bill,' that the whelk-fishery on a sandy flat in
that bay yielded 12.000 a year, part of the produce being dis-
posed of in the London market for food, and the rest sent to the
cod-fishing banks for bait. They are seldom eaten in the northern
part of our Isles. At Dieppe and Nantes they may occasionally
be seen exposed for sale in the fish-markets. The embryology of
B. undatum has been investigated by Baster and many other
writers. Its curious spawn-cells are figured in Ellis' Corallines
as ' Alcyonium sen Vesicularia marina of Bauhin ;' they are

also called 4 Sea wash-balls,' because of their being used instead
of soap by sailors to wash their hands (fig. 312). Dr. Johnston
compares this vesicular mass to the nest of the humble-bee. It
is composed of numerous cartilaginous pouches, of the shape and
size of a large split pea, piled irregularty one upon another, and
attached by their edges at the base. Cailliaud counted 544 of
these cells in one of the spawn-masses. Each cell contains at
first several hundred eggs, which are afterwards so greatly re-
duced in number that only from fifteen to thirty fry come to
maturity. The process by which this redaction takes place has
been disputed by Scandinavian and English, physiologists, not
less as to Bucdnum than with respect to Purpura. Koren and
Danielssen state that the eggs are first spherical, that they after-
wards separate into distinct portions, and then amalgamate or
agglomerate and assume a different shape. Sir John Lubbock,
on the contrary, ascertained that the more advanced embryos
swallow the other yelks whole, and in such quantities as to
become greatly distended ; his paper in the ' Report of the British
Association ' for 1860 contains a representation of ' a young
embryo in the act of swallowing an egg ' (figs. 306, 307). Dr.
Mclntosh observed two specimens of the variety littoralis, on
the 19th of October, 1863, in the act of depositing spawn under
a stone, about mid-tide, in a rock-pool at St. Andrews. An egg-
case, extruded from one of these whelks which he held in his
hand, was quite soft, and fell into the water like a ball of jelly.
Before the fry leaves its cell, it is furnished with two rounded
and ciliated lobes in front, a proboscis, eyes, foot, gills, heart,
otolites or ear-stones, and other organs, besides a perfectly formed
shell of two whorls and an operculum. The spanning season
takes place according to the latitude and climate, between
October and May ; about two months are required for the devel-
opment of the fry. The shells vary exceedingly in thickness ;
some are solid and coarsely ribbed ; others are thin, and their
sculpture is very delicate. Sometimes the top of the shell is
broken off, and the opening is closed by a plug. In young speci-
mens the nucleus of the operculum is more central than in the
adult, the lateral extension of growth being inwards or towards
the pillar. Mr. Dennis and Mr. Norman believe that the scalari-
form distortion of the whorls, which is not unfrequent, is occa-

sioned by an annelid occupying the suture ; but the epidermis in
such cases may be traced covering that part, and the distinction
between post hoc and propter hoc may apply to the opinion of the
above naturalists, as well as to the arguments of lawyers. The
shell is the i roaring buckie ' of Scotch bairns. Wordsworth
has amplified this idea in the following pretty lines :
' I have seen
A curious child, who dwelt upon a tract
Of inland ground, applying to his ear
The convolutions of a smooth-lipped shell ;
To which, in silence hush'd, his very soul
Listen'd intensely, and his countenance soon
Brightened with joy ; for murmurings from within
Were heard, sonorous cadences, whereby,
To his belief, the monitor express' d
Mysterious union with its native sea.' "
" Whelks are taken in great numbers in wicker baskets baited
with offal. Billingsgate Market is chiefly supplied from Harwich
and Hull ; and some of the steamers from the north bring six or
seven tons at a time. They are sold at Is. 6<Z. to 2s. a measure ;
are in season from August to September, though they are really
good to eat at any time. Whelks are very troublesome to the
lobster-fishers, for they often devour the bait, and I have seen, at
St. Margaret 's-at-Cliffe, on the Kentish coast, the lobster pots
drawn up, one after the other, baitless, and full of these greedy
mollusks ; most trying to the poor fishermen, especially when
bait was scarce, and they had been obliged to walk some miles
in the morning to purchase it. On some parts of the coast the
fishermen use the Buccinum for bait for the long-line fishing, and
they know it by the following names, viz., the conch, buckie,
whelk-tingle, or sting-winkle ; and at Youghal they call whelks
' googawns,' and ' cuckoo shells.' " LovelVs Edible Mollusks,

Mr. Lovell gives the following recipes for preparing whelks
for table-use : I copy them because, notwithstanding its abun-
dance on our northern coast the whelk is rarely eaten in the
United States.

them till they can easily be taken from the shell, and then fry
them with plenty of fat or butter, till they are brown.
Whelk Soup. Take two onions and cut them into small dice,
fry them in a stewpan with some butter ; shake the pan well for
a few minutes, add five heads of celery, two handfuls of spinach,
two cabbage lettuces cut small, and some parsley. Shake the
pan again, put in two quarts of water, some crusts of bread, a
teaspoonful of pepper, and a blade or two of mace. Let this
boil gently for an hour. Boil the whelks, take them out of their
shells and fry them a good brown, then add them to the soup
and let the whole boil a few minutes, then serve.
Another Way of making Whelk Soup. Wash the whelks well,
boil them and pick them out of the shells. Put an ounce of
butter or dripping, with some finely chopped parsley, an onion,
a little pepper and salt, into a saucepan, and fry it until it becomes
brown, adding a little flour. Then to this add a pint of water
or a pint and a half of milk, and when it boils place in the
whelks, and a teaspoonful of anchovy. Let it boil again for half
an hour, then serve.

On a diminutive form of Buccinum undatum <$ : Case of Natural
Selection. By Edw. S. Morse. (Figures 308-311.)
The object in making this communication is to point out some
curious results of natural selection on Buccinum undatum within
limited areas, in which the male scarcely equalled half the length
of the female.
On a ledge in the harbor of Eastport (Maine), just east of the
town, a small variety of Buccinum undatum occurs in great pro-
fusion. At the time of collecting them the sexes were pairing,
and in every case (and hundreds were observed) the male was
much smaller, sometimes not exceeding half the length of the
female. It seemed impossible that the males could be mature,
and yet they were not only found in actual connection, but an
examination of the shell revealed the full number of whorls, and
from other well-known characters indicated the fact that they
were full-grown, though of diminutive size,
BUCCINUM. 181
A glance at the condition of things at once revealed the
mystery of these dwarfed males. The ledge on which these
specimens were found is partly exposed at low tide, and is at all
times washed by impetuous currents, so that it is quite difficult
to land.
A study of the surface features of the ledge indicated the force
of the tidal currents. There were no loose fragments, of rock
upon it, save those which were so tightly wedged in the crevices
of the ledge that they could not be worked out with the hands.
The specimens of Buccinum in every case were found hid away
in nooks, and concealed in the cracks and crevices marking the
ledge. It was clearly obvious that only the smallest males could
work their way into such constricted quarters for the purpose of
uniting with the females, and that the smaller males had the ad-
vantage over the larger males in this respect, there could be no
question. The true state of the case was so instantly seen, that
though hundreds of specimens were collected with the object of
determining whether in any case a large male occurred, not a
single exception was met with in which the female was not being
fertilized by a diminutive male.
The constrained position in which these were found precluded
the possibility of a large male with his cumbrous shell getting
close enough to the female in her narrow quarters to perform the
sexual act. The smaller males having this advantage, have from
generation to generation perpetuated their dwarf characters. It
would seem from these facts that natural selection has worked
in an unusual way in producing secondary sexual characters,
rarely, if ever, seen in gasteropods.
Both males and females presented a wide range of variation in
the characters of the shell, some of them showing very distinctly
the oblique folds so characteristic of the species, while in others
these folds were scarcely visible. The shell of the male is
smoother than that of the female, and is also more slender and
more delicate. The figures represent normal males and females
from this peculiar colony.*

Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a point believed in his da}^ to separate

very distinctly two molluscan faunal provinces, but it has since
been found throughout the waters of the New England States,
and, according to Captain Gedney, off New Jersey, N. lat. 40,
W. long. 73, in 32 fathoms, sandy bottom. It occurs generally
in deep water, and not so numerously, however, south of Cape
Cod. It has been dredged at 100 fathoms in the Bay of Fundy,
but off 'the European coast has been found as deep as 650
fathoms.
Mr. Verrill remarks that " the ordinary American specimens
from shallow water differ considerably in form from the typical
European specimens, but the species is quite variable on both
coasts, and I have examined large specimens from St. George's
Bank and La Have Bank, dredged by Mr. S. I. Smith, which
differ very little from the common European form, and it is easy
to form series connecting these with our common shore specimens.
I am, therefore, unable to agree with Dr. Stimpson, who con-
sidered our species distinct from the European, and adopted the
name undulatum for it."*
In addition to the varieties enumerated in Dr. Jeffrey's descrip-
tion of the species, I have figured others from Sars, Middendorff
and Reeve ; they are possibly none of them really entitled to
varietal names. These are Yar. coerulea (fig. 314), Var. Schanta-
rica (fig. 317), from the Sea of Ochotsk, B. pyramidale, Reeve
(fig. 366), B. Labradorense, Reeve (fig. 322) = the American
form of B. undatum, called B. undulatum, and a representation
of the latter form (fig. 318) from Gould's Invertebrate of Massa-
chusetts. To these synonyms I add B. parvulum, V erk. (fig. 323 ) ,
B. fragile, Verk. (fig. 324), and B. conoideum, Sars (fig. 325) ;
species which can have no place in the genus unless we agree to
a minute discrimination of its variable characters. It is true
that a slight difference exists in the dentition between one of
these forms and the normal dentition of B. undatum (PI. 27,
fig. 29), namely, a variation in the number of tooth-like points
developed on the plates, the formula of B. undatum, B. conoideum
and B. parvulum being 4 6 4, that of B. fragile 3*4*3, accord-
ing to Sars, but Meyer and Mobiusf have shown that the central

teeth vary from 4 to 6, and those on the sides from 2 to 4 in
specimens from a single locality, and that the number on opposite
side-plates of the same individual is sometimes different, so that
but little dependence can be placed upon the secondary charac-
ters of dentition in distinguishing species, at least in this instance.
Dr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys considers B. Belclieri, Reeve, a variety ;
it appears to me to be distinct.
B. ZEALANDICUM, Reeve. PI. 79, fig. 384.
Yellowish, the revolving lines between the ribs brown tinted.
Length, 1*25 inch.
? New Zealand.
This species never came from the locality assigned to it : it is
a true Buccinum and may be a form of undatum, having acci-
dentally deepened color upon the superior revolving lines, or, if
the color is normal, then it is probably a variety of B. cyaneum,
Brug.
B. EFFUSUM, Reeve. PL 79, fig. 376.
Shell ovately conical, thin, inflated, spire rather short but
elevated, whorls obscurely flatly ridged and minutety striated ;
lip simple, effused ; chestnut-brown. Length, 1-5 inches.
Hob. unknown.
The ridges of this species are of quite a superficial character.
The above is a copy of Reeve's description, which does not
mention longitudinal ribs, although they appear to be slightly
indicated in the figure. I do not know whether this may be a
depauperated Buc. undatum or a Cominella.
B. TOTTENII, Stimpson. PI. 76, fig, 326.
White, of a light and thin structure ; spire acute ; suture im-
pressed, whorls seven, regularly convex; longitudinal folds about
twenty-two in number, not large, very regular, straight, not at all
oblique, and about equaling their interspaces in width ; these
folds are prominent on the spire, but usually obsolete on the
body-whorl, except occasionally at the suture ; the revolving
striae are somewhat as in B. undatum, but sharper and more
regular, and the grooves are narrower and more deeply cut.
Length, 1-75 to 2*25 inches.
Banks of Newfoundland.
184 BUCCINUM.
It might be taken for a thin and delicate form of B. undatum,
but is easily distinguished by the number and straightness of the
longitudinal plications of the spire-whorls, the more numerous
and sharply cut transverse ridges and the wider mouth. Occurs
in the pleistocene beds of Montreal,
B. TENUE, Gray. PI. 76, fig. 32 1.
Whorls convex ; with twenty-five to thirty longitudinal ribs,
sometimes interpolated about the middle of the body-whorl ; no
prominent revolving sculpture, but merely crowded minute striae,
sometimes obsolete. Length, 1-T5 to 2*5 inches.
Greenland, southwards to Gulf of St. Lawrence ; Nova Zembla ;
Lapland; Behring's Straits.
This is a circumpolar species, possessing the well-known facies
of such shells ; its occurrence southwards in the Gulf of St. Law-
rence is rare and in deep water. It is a pleistocene fossil in
various localities from Canada northwards. The well-expressed,
very numerous, curved and partially duplicating ribs and the
almost total absence of transverse sculpture are its distinguish-
ing characters. B, scalariforme, Beck, is possibly a synonym,
although it is also referred to Sipho Kroyeri, Holier. Besides
the typical form, Middendortf mentions & forma elatior, in which
the ribs tend towards evanescence. B. tortuosum, Reeve, is con-
sidered a monstrosity of this species by Stimpson, but I think it
more probable that it has that relation to Fusus (Sipho) Kroyeri,
Moller.
B. PLECTRUM, Stimpson.
Shell rather large, thin, elongated, whorls less convex than in
B. tenue, with about nineteen curved longitudinal folds, and deep
cut primary revolving grooves, with depressed intervening ridges.
Length 2-23 to 2-5 inches, diain. 1/2 inches.
Arctic Ocean, north of Behring's Straits ;
20 to 30 fathoms.
It may be described in brief language by saying that it has
nearly the form and plaits of B. tenue, with a striation of the
glaciale type. It evidently approaches nearest to tenue, but
besides the difference in the striation, the much greater regularity
of the longitudinal plaits will serve to distinguish it. I have
among a number of fossil Buccinums kindly loaned by Dr.
BUCCINUM. 185
Packard, two imperfect specimens, probably of this species, from
the pleistocene beds of Portland, Me. The shell is broader and
thicker, with fewer (thirteen) longitudinal folds, none of which
are interrupted, the primary ridges are more convex, and are
alternately wider and narrower. The secondary grooves are
rather less numerous. These diiferences may proove to be spe-
cific, when perfect specimens of both forms can be obtained in
sufficient numbers. If so, I would suggest the name B. Packardi
for the Portland form. It is easily distinguished from B. undu-
latum (= undatum) by the flattening and finer striation of the
primary ridges, which are also much broader than the correspond-
ing grooves. I have also a fragment of the form Packardi from
the pleistocene of New Brunswick.
The above is copied and condensed from Stimpson's descrip-
tion. I am unacquainted with the species. Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys
considers it a variety of B. Totteni, Stimpson.
B. STRIATUM, Sowb. PI. 76, figs. 328, 329.
Shell of moderate size, thick, rather elongated and appressed ;
whorls seven, not convex, not angulated, longitudinal ribs eleven
in number, not at all oblique, rather distant and prominent, espe-
cially at the suture ; spiral ridges flat ; aperture narrow, a little
less than half the length of the shell, columella projecting beyond
the extremity of the outer lip. Length, 2 inches.
Sea of Ochotsk.
Occurs as a pleistocene fossil in Scotland, whence it was first
described. Dr. Stimpson unites with this B. Ochotense, Midden-
dorff (fig. 329), and Dr. Jeffreys makes it a synonym of B. tenue,
Gray.
B. QLACIALE, Linn. PL 76, fig. 345 ; PI. 78, figs. 367-373.
Whorls flattened, spire conic-elevated ; ribs few, obliquely
curved, prominent ; body-whorl with one, two or three prominent
revolving keels, one of which is sometimes visible on the spire ;
revolving ridges coarse, well marked. Length, 2-3 inches.
Behring's Straits; Sea of Ochotsk; Spitsbergen; Greenland.
The typical form, according to Stimpson, has not as yet been
found fossil, but the var. (B. Groenlandicum, Hancock = polar e,
Gra}^) is quite abundant in the pleistocene beds of Montreal.
The living shell reaches a notably larger size in the North Pacific

than in the North Atlantic, and the vicinity of Beh ring's Straits
may be considered the metropolis of the species. It has been
erroneously reported as from the Orkney Islands, but is not
British. Mr. W. H. Dall, to whose enlightened explorations in
Alaska conchology is so greatly indebted, was the first to point
out the protean characters of this species and to assign to it a
numerous s^ynonymy. I have figured the typical glaciale (fig.
345) and a two-carinated form (fig. 367), B. anguloxum, Gray,
evidently not adult (fig. 368), and regarded by Stimpson as a
distinct species, B. carinatum (fig. 372), B. rutilum (fig. 369),
B. Eombergi(fig.31Q), and B. Morchianum (fig. 311), of Dunker's
Novitates. Besides these, B. Stimpsoni and B. Roger si of Gould,
two unfigured species from the vicinity of Behring's Straits, are
referred to this species by Mr. Dall.
Var. POL ARE, Gray.
This form has been described but not figured ; nevertheless,
Stimpson recognizes it as a distinct species differing from B.
glaciale in its thin structure, shouldered whorls and narrower aper-
ture. B. Grcenlandicum of Hancock (fig. 373), which I consider
equivalent to polare, is also treated as distinct by Stimpson, who
says that it is narrower and smaller, without shouldered whorls.
This latter difference depends upon whether one or two carina
are developed on the body-whorl. I think the only reason for
considering polare (including Gramlandicum) as a variety is
the thinness of the shell,
B. MIRANDUM, E. A. Smith.
Shell ovate, thick, pallid, brownish red, irregularly maculated
upon the spiral ribs, invested with a fugacious, thin, light olive
epidermis ; whorls seven, concave and augulated above, concave
below the angle, longitudinally plicate, encircled by two nodose
ribs, and shallow sulcations, minutely graiiosely striate, beneath
the suture somewhat rugose ; aperture light brown; scarcely more
than half the total length, labrum sinuated by the spiral carinae,
canal short, slightly recurved. Length 53, diam. 25 mill.
East Yesso, Japan; 11 fathoms.
The plications which produce nodules on the spiral elevations
become almost obsolete on the last half of the body-whorl. The
nodules number about ten on the penultimate whorl. The entire
BUCCINUM. 187
surface is spirally rather distantly striated, which is plainly
visible to the naked eye, and also very minutely granosely striated,
only apparent with the aid of a lens. I do not know the species,
but it appears to be related to B. glaciale, Linn., some specimens
of which certainly exhibit, though in a less marked degree, per-
haps, the principal characteristics noted above.
B. DONOVANI, Gray. PL 76, fig. 330 ; PI. 78, fig. 374.
More elongated, with much more convex whorls than B. gla-
ciale. Sometimes slighty carinated on the middle of the body-
whorl. Ribs most prominent at the sutures, which they undulate,
soon becoming evanescent upon the body.
Length, 2-25 to 3 inches.
Banks of Newfoundland ; Greenland.
The B. Donovani of Reeve is another species = B. Terrae-
Navae, Beck. B. tubulosum, Reeve (fig. 374), is, however, a syno-
nym. Dr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys makes Donovani a variety of B.
glaciale.
B. CASTANEUM, Dall.
Shell large, clear cjiestnut-brown, with whorls seven in number,
inflated and smooth, except for microscopic, closely crowded,
revolving striae. Suture distinct, not channeled. Apex rather
acute, pointed. Columella straight, with a faint fascicle. Aper-
ture wide, rounded, more than semicircular. A slight glaze on
the columella. Outer lip heavily thickened, expanded and smooth,
not projecting before the column nor waved ; within livid whitish
or purple.
Length 2'5in.,diarn. 1*1 in.; length of aperture 1 in., width *75 in.
Shumagin Islands ( Alaska), 20 fathoms.
A very remarkably distinct form in a genus where distinctness
is the exception and not the rule. I know of no species at all
resembling it. There are rarely faint costse on the junior whorls.
Yar. TRICARINATUM, Dall.
This form, which I now consider to be probably an extreme
race of the foregoing, has a similar color and fine microscopic
sculpture, but grows larger and is furnished with one strong carina
on the junior whorls and three on the last whorl. When the lip
is not formed they are remarkably similar to young Chrysodomus

liratus, and were passed over as such by me, in the field. After-
wards, when the carinse and lip are fully formed, they look like
brown B. glaciale of the carinated form. On examination, the
sculpture was found to be essentially different, and by that alone
its connection with B. castaneum is surmised. It is found in the
Western Aleutians only, and was caught with bait in five fathoms.
No intermediate specimens have been observed. Length S'OS 1
inches, width 1-5 inches ; aperture long, 1'25 inches ; wide, -9 inch.
The lip is less thickened than the typical B. castaneum.
The above is a copy of Dall's description. I am unacquainted
with the species.
B % CYANEUM, Brug. PI. 76, figs. 331-342 ; PL 78, fig. 375. PI.
19, figs. 377-380.
Shell thin, whorls six to eight, not very convex, flattened near the
suture, and generally smoother than in any other species ; longi-
tudinal folds, when they exist, ten to fifteen, straight, extending
very little below the suture ; primary spiral ridges rounded, not
flattened, very narrow and distant, about fourteen on the lower
whorl, often obsolete, but sometimes sufficiently prominent to
form angles rather than ridges ; secondary ridges, when present
about five to each primary ridge and groove taken together.
Colors bright but variable, usually bluish with chestnut-brown
revolving lines or series of spots or patches : sometimes brown
with white spots. Periostraca smooth or short-ciliated.
Length, l-2'3 inches.
Greenland) Norway, Lapland, Behring" 1 s Straits.
An arctic species ; occurs fossil in the pleistocene of Riviere-
du-Loup, Canada. A number of authors apply to this shell the
name Grrcenlandicum, Chemn., which I do not adopt because
Chemnitz was not a binomial writer, and Gf-rcenlandicum is only
a portion of his compound designation of the species.
I figure a variety patula, Sars. (fig. 332), which appears to cor-
respond with the dwarf variety of Stimpson ; also Neptunea
Baerii, Midd. (fig. 377), which is a marked, short, convex
variety. The following species described by Hancock, are all
synonymous with cyaneum, viz. : B. hydrophanum, Hanc. (figs.
BUCCINUM. 189
333, 334, 375), B. sericatum, Hanc. (fig. 335),* B. tenebrosum,
Hanc. (figs. 336-338, 378). Mr. W. H. Dall adds to the syn-
onymy Volutharpa Morchiana, Fischer, a short-spired variety
(fig. 379), and B. perdix, Beck, to which I agree, the latter being
very probably the same as B. Finmarkianum, Verkruzen (figs.
340-342), which is at most a variety. B. Terree-Novae, Beck, is a
large, thin variety, showing traces of plicas, and revolving ano % u-
lations. B. leucostoma. Lischke, an unfignred species from
Japan, is very probably another variety of this protean species :
it is a large shell, 81 mill, in length, like Terrae-Nov&e, but thicker,
with white lip, etc. B. simplex, Midd., from the Sea of Ochotsk,
is also a large shell, the description of which presents no dis-
tinctive peculiarities. B. pulchellum, Sars (fig. 339), does not
appear to be very different from his figure of Grcenlandicum
(= cyaneum, fig. 331). I add a figure of a remarkable shell (PI.
87, fig. 617), which Friele calls var. acuta.
B. JAPONICUM, A. Ad.
Ovate, fusiform, thin, spire produced, epidermis horny brown,
longitudinally plicate and laminate, with acute, revolving lines
(about six in the last whorl), base spirally lirate, lip margin
thickened and reflected. Length, 1 inch.
Okosirij Sea of Japan; 35 fathoms.
Unfigured. Probably nearly related to the preceding species.
B. Jeffreysii, E. A. Smith, is another unfigured Japanese species,
30 mill, in length; it is described from a single specimen, with
the following remarks appended. " This species may eventually
prove but a large and fine variety of B. Japonicum, A. Ad. ; but
at present I distinguish it with a separate name, since there are
several differences which may be regarded as specific. The
whorls are only slightly angulated in the middle by the keel
which encircles them at that part; and this keel is undulated, a
* Mr. E. A. Smith figures the dentition of this form in Ann. Mag. 1ST.
Hist., XX, 134, 1877, and as the side plates have three fangs on one side
and two on the other, and the epidermis differs, he considers it distinct
from B. cyaneum. Mr. Jeffreys, in same magazine, p. 239, calls attention
to the variability of the epidermis in northern shells, and mentions that
he had examined numerous specimens of sericatum, and had no doubt of
their specific identity with cyaneum. The unequal distribution of denti-
cles upon the side plates of the radula, is itself sufficient evidence of the
little value of this character.

character not assigned to B. Japonicum : the red spotting on
the keels is also absent in that species ; and the color of the
epidermis is different. At the base of the cauda in the present
species there is a largish excavation ; biit I am inclined to attri-
bute it to a repaired injury."
B. FISCHERIANUM, Dall.
Shell with four whorls, of which the upper three form less
than one-sixth of the entire length, though acuminated. Epi-
dermis smooth, thin, yellowish, marked with very fine, wavy,
revolving lines, not ciliated. Surface of the whorls smooth, but
marked with rather evident lines of growth, which are raised
into plicate rugosities near the suture, which is appressed.
Whorls inflated, amply rounded, solid, porcellanous and strong.
Aperture elongate-ovate; outer lip thickened, broadly, effusely
arched. Peristome white. Throat of a muddy pink. Inner lip
with a thin callus, thicker on the columella, where it is colored
with a dash of deep pink. Columella twisted, broad, arched.
Canal wide and shallow, very short. Color externally yellowish
pink, upper whorls a little livid, last whorl with a few indistinct
revolving brown lines, frequently interrupted. Traces of obscure
revolving ridges appear in a few places on the last whorl.
Length 1-3 in., lat. '9 in.
St. George's IsL, Behring's Sea.
Described from one perfect specimen and fragments obtained
in 1868. Its nearest ally is that form of B. cyaneum described
by Fischer as Volutharpa Morchiana. From this it is very
doubtfully distinct.
B. PICTURATUM, Dall.
Shell of moderate size, rather slender, with acute apex, sculp-
tured with fine wavy striae, the interspaces between which are
usually flat, but occasionally rise above the general surface as
flattened threads ; junior whorls with seven to nine faint, very
oblique transverse costse, the prominence of which varies in
different specimens ; epidermis very thin, smooth, dehiscent ;
color whitish, painted with oblique, reddish brown flammules,
irregularly distributed in patches transverse to the whorls ;
columella twisted with a strong fasciole, lightly glazed ; outer

Shell small, ovate, strongly ribbed and with fine revolving
stria) ; solid, becoming very thick with age ; aperture elliptical,
elongated and narrow, a little more than half the length of the
shell ; outer lip scarcely at all sinuated ; columella with a dis-
tinct tooth or projection near its lower extremity, corresponding
to the second fold of the columella seen in several other species,
such as B. tenue and B. undatum, but more tooth-like and con-
stituting an important and easily recognized specific character ;
periostraca ciliated. Length. 1*54 in.
Greenland, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland,
Behring Straits, and the Arctic Sea north of it.
" Although B. ciliatum is the most distinct and well-marked
form in the genus, it is by no means a common species, and has
been frequently referred to other quite different species, for want
of attention to its peculiar characters." So says Dr. Stimpson,
but I must confess my inability to separate it satisfactorily from
B. cyaneum. If I rightly understand the specimens before me,
1 think that it will prove to be a dwarf, slow-growing race of the
last-named species. B. ciliatum of Gould and American authors
generally, is a very different shell and is equivalent to B. Hum-
phreyKianum, Bennett. It is the B. Molleri of Reeve's Index,
and B. tenebrosum of Middendorff (fig. 382).
B. FRINGILLUM, Ball.
Shell white, resembling B. sericatum, Hancock (== cyaneum),
on the one hand, and B. ciliatum, Fabr., on the other. It has the
dense fringed epidermis of ciliatum (when the shell is perfect),
with the sculpture of the same, but wanting the tooth on the
columella, and having a number of sharp carinae not found in
192 BUCCINUM.

any specimens of ciliatum which I have seen. The form is much
like that of sericatwn, Hanc., except that the whorls are inflated
and shouldered, and the suture canaliculate. Whorls seven.
Length 1'36 in., width '8 in. ; length of aperture -66 in.
Arctic Ocean, near Icy Cape.
The above is Mr. Dall's description, who, moreover, appends
n. s. ? to the name. It is a very doubtful species, the canaliculate
suture being its only peculiar feature, and that would indicate its
pertinence to the genus Volutliarpa.

figs. 346-352 ; PI. 79, figs. 383, 385.
Shell thin, subtranslucent or nearly opaque, pale brownish or
yellowish, sometimes mottled with fawn or reddish brown, or
irregularly banded with rows of spots or chain-like markings,
frequently without spots or mottlings ; sculpture numerous fine
close-set revolving lines ; no longitudinal ribs, or at most but
faint indications of them upon the spire- whorls ; periostraca
very thin, ciliated. Length, ! 75-3*5 inches.

Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys says that u Dr. Stimpson must have mis-
taken some other species (perhaps B. ciliatum) for. B. Hum-
phrey sianum when he described the latter as having a ciliated
epidermis ; and I therefore cannot recognize the North American
localities indicated by him. B. ventricosum of Kiener (from the
coast of Provence), is closely allied to our shell ; but the whorls
are more tumid and gibbous, and the operculum is not so dispro-
portionately small. They bear the same relation to each other as
Aporrhais Serresiana does to A. Macandrese. The operculum
bears the same proportion to the size of the mouth as that of
Aporrhais ; it seems to be more ornamental than useful, like the
coquettish hats worn by the girls of Tuscany on the crown of
their heads. The opercular lobe covers only the centre of the
operculum, the upper and under sides of which are sometimes
encrusted with sessile Foraminifera. The egg-cases are sepa-
rate and hemispherical. Some of the above characters are so
peculiar as perhaps to warrant the generic separation of B.
Humphrey sianum, under the name of Mada, its surface being
glabrous."
BUCCINUM. 193
Dr. Jeffreys has narrowed his conception of the species in this
instance to suit the British specimens which are, as he says,
glabrous, without epidermis or any traces of ribs ; the species,
however, appears to attain its maximum development in the
waters of the Atlantic coast of British America, and it is from
these that our description is made. The ventricosum of Kiener
does not appear to differ. Colored markings are rare upon
American specimens which are almost invariably invested more
or less with a very thin epidermis. Our Banks specimens (fig.
348) were wrongly identified by Gould and others with B.
ciliatum, Fabr., and still are to be found in most of our collec-
tions under that name. Stimpson was the first to refer them to
B. Humphrey sianum. Of course, there is hardly sufficient
character left in the egg-cases alone to justify the adoption of
Jeffreys' suggested generic name Mada.
The zebra-like striped variety (B. ventricosum, Kiener) is
rarely so highly colored as the original figure which I have
copied (fig. 385). B. fusiforme, Kiener (fig. 347), is the typical
European form (= glabra, Jeffreys), and comes from Provence.
B. ztriatum, Phil. (fig. 349), a Sicilian fossil, is certainly a very
good representation of the typical American form. Among the
sj^nonyms are also to be included B. tumidulum, Sars (figs. 350,
351 ), from Norway, and Tritonium ovum,, Midcl., not Turton (fig.
352) ; and probably B. Morchii, Friele, an unfigured species,
notwithstanding the more central nucleus of the operculum, the
different number of teeth on the middle and side plates of the
lingual, etc.
B. BELCHERT, Reeve. PI. 77, fig. 353.

Like the rest of the genus, this species is subject to great
variation. The type specimen is comparatively smooth and
without plications beneath the suture; others are strongly
plicated, and have the spiral ridging much raised. Dr. J. Gwyn
Jeffreys considers it a variety of B, undatum.

Genus BUCCINOPSIS, Jeffreys.
Mr. Jetfreys, who places his genus in the family Muricidse,
remarks that " the principal difference between this genus and
Buccinum consists in the operculum, the nucleus of which, is in
Buccinopsis terminal, at the inner base of the mouth, the increase
taking place by sernielliptical layers ; while in the other genus it
is placed within the edge, at the outer side of the mouth, the
increase taking place by concentric layers. The egg-cases of
Buccinopsis are separate,* and shaped like a well-filled leather
purse, the opening for the egress of the fry being at the top and
very wide. According to Mr. Alder, 'its tongue (PL 27, fig. 32)
differs from that of Buccinum undatum, as well as from those of
the allied species of the genus Fusus, and makes a slight
approach to that of Mangelia. It has a single plain and slightly
curved tooth on each side, and a very thin, non-denticulated plate
in the centre.' "

slight and delicate spiral striae, and still more close-set lines ot
growth ; these marks are only discernible with a magnifying
power, the surface appearing smooth to the naked eye ; color
ivory-white ; epidermis extremely thin, pale yellowish white,
with a faint tinge of brown. Length 1-15 in., diam. 1 in.
Animal, body pale yellowish-white, with a faint tinge of flesh
color. Egg-cases sometimes deposited on the under side of the
maternal shell.
Ireland and Scotland, Norway, Behring's Straits, Sea of Ochotsk.
Dredged 40 to 160 fathoms. Fossil in the Red and Coralline
Crag, and Antwerp Crag. A specimen from the latter deposit,
in the Brussels Museum, measures 3*75 ins. long by 1*7> ins.
in diam. Among the synonyms may be mentioned B. ovoides,

Shell smaller and thinner, with the spire more produced.
B. NUX, Ball.
Short, very solid, smooth, except for microscopic revolving
striae, with an ivory-like surface, which in. young living speci-
mens is covered with a beautifully reticulated, short, velvety
epidermis, of a brownish color. The adult shell is white or with
a band of livid purple. Suture distinct ; spire very short ;
whorls five, last very much the largest, A^ery rotund. Outer lip
thickened, smooth, projecting beyond the columella, whose
anterior edge is smoothly and widely twisted, so that a glimpse
can be had of the interior axis. Column thickened, short, some-
what arcuated, with no fasciole.
Length 1*28 inches, width -8 inch.
Aleutian Islands; 10 fathoms, rocky bottom.
Differs from B. Dalei in the epidermis, which, in the latter, is
smooth and polished, and in the solidity of the shell. I do not
know the species.
NEOBUCCINUM. VOLUTHARPA. 197
B. CANALICULATA, Ball.
Shell solid, livid white, covered with a strong, dark brown
pilose epidermis; whorls moderately rounded; suture deeply
channelled; surface of the whorls covered with fine, spiral,
thread-like ridges, with still finer ones intervening between them,
lightly decussated by the fine but distinct lines of growth, to
which the epidermis especially adheres ; the coarser ridges are
about seven in number, between the posterior end of the aperture
and the edge of the suture behind it. Whorls five and a half,
aperture half as long as the shell ; internally polished ; outer
edge somewhat thickened ; inner lip callous; columella strongly
twisted ; canal short, rather wide.
Length 1-33 inches, diam. -75 inch.
Cape Expenherij, Alaska. (One specimen, on the beach.)
Much less inflated and proportionally longer than B. Dalei,
which is nearly smooth and has not the channelled suture. I am
not acquainted with this species.

Kerguelen Island, 3-7 fathoms.
Animal (in spirit) uniform buff color; foot broad in front and
somewhat truncated, narrowed posteriorly; head of moderate
size, furnished with two rather short tentacles not adjacent at
their base ; e} r es situated on prominences on the outer side of
the tentacles towards their bases ; proboscis very long ; siphonal
expansion of the mantle thick, of medium length.
Lingual ribbon very long ; rachidiari tooth tricuspidate, uncini

This little group of mollusks is confined in distribution to the
North Pacific Ocean, its metropolis being Japan. Three of the
species were originally described as Bullia, from which genus it

differs in its simple foot and in possessing e3'es as well as in den-
tition. The form and porcellanous texture of the shell are like
Bullia, and serve to separate it from Buccinum. Mr. Arthur
Adams says that the animal is like Buccinum, of a white color
sparsely sprinkled with black on the head, foot and siphon; the
tentacles are broad, close together at the base, and rather short,
with the eyes on the outer side, near the middle ; the siphon is
thick and short, and the foot is fleshy and simple behind.
With regard to the Volutharpa ampullacea,3i very remarkable
fact may be mentioned. The majority of the individuals are
without opercula, even without a trace of the pad-like gland or
area from which the operculuin is secreted. About ten per cent,
of the individuals of the var. acuminata which I have examined
had traces of this gland or area, marked l>y its smooth and
rather whitish surface on the granulous dark slate-colored foot.
About fifteen per cent, had well developed opercula in the proper
position. I have ascertained the same to be the case with regard
to the typical form, from alcoholic specimens, collected by Dr.
William Stimpson in Behring's Strait. There is no mistake
about this, strange as it may and must appear, that different
individuals of the same species are indifferently operculate or
inoperculate.
A careful examination of this appendage reveals some singu-
larities in it worthy of note. At first the operculum is of an
ovoid form, with the nucleus near the edge at the larger end, and
increases by additions around the edge, but principally upon the
smaller or upper end. However, at some late period of its
growth it takes a new start, and, seemingly, a new operculum is
commenced underneath the old one, with a central nucleus
which increases by annular additions, and finally has its edges
very much thickened and turned upward, giving it a saucer-like
appearance, while the old operculum seems as if laying upon the
saucer, with its nucleus and some of the adjacent portion pro-
jecting over the edge anteriorly. It has in all a diameter of
1 inch. That its form is not due to an individual abnormality
is evident from the fact that all the specimens examined were
similar.*
* W. H. Dall, Am. Jour. Conch., VII, 106.
VOLUTHARPA. 199
Mr. Gwyn Jeffreys, in his excellent " British Conchology,"
records the occurrence, upon the Kentish and Sussex Coasts, of
Buccinum undatum, having two or three opercula. " In a bi-
operculate specimen, procured by Mr. Rich, one of the opercula
is conical and borne on a cylindrical, stalk-like lobe, the other
being of the usual shape ; in a second specimen, one operculum
is longitudinally oval, with the nucleus nearly terminal (as in
Fusus), the fellow operculum being placed at a right angle
to it."
" The above facts," says Dr. Paul Fischer,* " modify con-
siderably our confidence in specific and generic characters fur-
nished by the operculum. 'They at least demonstrate that the
absence of an operculum will not suffice for the exclusion of
mollusks from families the other genera of which are provided
with them."
I have inserted in a former volume of the Manual an account
of abnormal opercula observed in Fusus and Pleurotoma^ and
it is well known that some species of the latter genus as well
as of the nearly related genus Conus are provided with opercula,
whilst others have them not. The duplication of opercula in
Buccinum undatum appears to meet a parallel in the case of the
Cephalopod genus Loligo, in the duplication of the internal car-
tilaginous pens or shells. |
After all, the operculum furnishes generic characters of con-
siderable value in classification ; we can by no means afford to
dismiss its evidence as unreliable because it sometimes, ab-
normally, unsettles our long cherished (and perhaps erroneous)
convictions of the stability of generic and specific characters.
" The ovicapsules of Volutharpa are not at all like those of
Buccinum, but rather like those of Busy con ( Fulgur), though
smaller, consisting of disk-like capsules, united by one edge to a
ribbon or stalk. They contain from eight to twelve embryos,
which attain the length of a half inch, and a shell of two whorls,
which, except in the absence of epidermis, essentially resembles
the adult. The first whorl, however, is whitish and amorphous,

and very fragile ; it is large for the size of the embryo, and is
invariably lost in shells which have attained maturity. The
remainder of the embryonic shell is translucent purplish red, or
wine-color, with revolving lines. I found the embryos on the
point of escaping from the ovicapsules in September. The disks
of the capsules are three-quarters of an inch in diameter and two-
tenths of an inch thick, with the edges perpendicular to the top
and bottom, and the angles serrate or furnished with slight
coriaceous projecting- points.*

V. DESHAYESIANA, Fischer (fig. 390), is generally considered

Mr. Dall lias described a var. acuminata, from Sitka ; it has a
narrower, less rounded form, with a thicker and stronger, almost
pilose epidermis.
In perfect, fresh specimens of the typical form the thin " epi-
dermis is covered with minute, very short cilia, caused by the
elevation of minute threads of the epidermis at the intersection
of the crowded fine revolving strire which cover the whorl, with
the lines of growth. In some apparently perfect specimens,
however, the epidermis appears perfectly smooth and even
polished, "f
It is very doubtful whether V. Perryi, Jay, is distinct from tliis

larger. I do not detect any other difference between them than
that of size.

Genus COMINELLA, Gray.
Kobelt has recently published a systematic catalogue of the
species of this genus, in which they are carefully arranged in
accordance with their inter-relationships. I have followed it ;
merely reducing the number of species which he admits, and
adding a few which appear to have escaped his notice. The
genus is confined in its distribution to the Southern hemisphere,
the metropolis of the typical species being New Zealand ;
although a few are found at the Cape of Good Hope, etc.
Martens' subgenus Ghlanidota does not appear to me to be very
closely related to Cominella, and I have preferred to treat that
shell as a genus. Kobelt includes the species of Amphissa, but
the thickening and dentition of the outer lip, the absence of the
posterior constriction and general facies, as well as lingual
ribbon, indicate a closer relationship with Columbella. I have

included as a subgenus Tenison-Woods' new genus Josepha,
although its principal character, the plait on the columella,
appears to ally it to Plios. also.

Yellowish to chestnut-brown, the revolving ribs whitish, macu-
lated with chestnut-brown ; sometimes unicolored with revolving
ribs or simply fine striae. Length, 1*25-1 -75 inches.

I fear that this will prove to be a well-marked variety only of
C. porcata. Typically the color is uniform dark brown ; without

Shell with revolving ribs, which are usually white, spotted with

Another immature shell, described as a Fusus, and by Kiister
placed in Buccinum ; where, the specific name being pre-occupied
by Lamarck, he calls it B. Dunkeri (figs. 408, 409). It is a
doubtful species ; even its pertinence to the genus is problematical,
as well as the identity of Krister's shell with that of Dunker.
Schrenck reports it from the Bay of Hakodadi,but certainly has
mistaken the species.

C. cataracta, Chemn. (fig. 415), is a mere color-variety of this

I unite the three, finding the surface painting inconstant, and
consider them very distinct from C. testudinea : the latter being
much wider, with less exserted spire and without ribs. C. alveo-
lata, Kiener (fig. 420), has sometimes incised revolving lines,
between which the revolving dark spots take the form of oblong
tesselations ; but these lines are frequently absent, and the mark-
ings vary all the way to uninterrupted bands.

A very variable species, differing from forms of C. lineolata
only in the ribs being developed on the body-whorl : more ex-
tensive collections may prove that this is not only synonymous
with that species, but that the two following species (C. acuti/io-
dosa and filicea) should be referred to it also. The list of
synonyms is already sufficiently extensive : C. Anyasi, Crosse
(fig. 432), C. Adelaidenxix, Crosse (fig. 433), C. eburnea, Reeve

Genus CLEA, A. Adams.
First proposed as a genus of the family Melanidtt, which the
shell resembles in its form, epidermis and habitat in fresh waters,
especially reminding one of the genus Hemisinus. The operculum
with its apical nucleus, no less than the lingual dentition, whereof
the formula is Tl-l in Clea, instead of 3'1*3 as in Melania,
induced Brot to remove the species to Buccinidse ; and really
CANIDIA.
the form and sculpture of the shell do not contravene such a dis-
position of Clea, its fluviatile distribution being actually the
strongest argument for considering it a Melania. As to the
genus Canidea, the differential characters are slight and of
specific value only, except that the margin of the aperture is
sinuated in front in all the species, and this may serve as a con-
venient means of dividing the genus Clea into two groups, one
of which may bear the name of Ganidea as a subgenus. The
differences in operculum and dentition pointed out by Brot are
unimportant. The geographical distribution of the genus com-
prises the Malaysian Peninsula and Archipelago. It would be
interesting to ascertain whether the waters inhabited are really
fresh, or perhaps brackish.
For the species, I follow the monograph by Dr. A. Brot, pub-
lished in the " Journal de Conchy liologie," 1876.

thin, dark brown epidermis, sometimes translucent, covers the
living shell, but cabinet specimens are usually denuded of this,
exhibiting upon an ivory-white surface, spots arid maculations
of orange-red. The aperture is usually white, sometimes tinged
with violet upon the columella. This pattern of coloring is most
uniform throughout the genus ; but the species are distinguished
by modifications of the arrangement of these color spots, as well
as by the differences of shoulder and umbilicus. None of the
species are strictly banded, although in some the coloring coal-
lesces into irregular revolving masses. The coloring reminds
one strongly of Phasianella* whilst the shell, except for the want
of its characteristic groove and tooth recalls the genus Pseudo-
liva one of the species of which was formerly erroneously
referred to this group. The surface of the shell is invariably
smooth, devoid of the sculpture of ribs, strhe,.tuberculations, etc.
The operculum is ample, filling the aperture. The Eburnae are
natives of the tropical seas of the Eastern hemisphere.
If we observe the rule of taking the first species as the type of
a genus, Eburna, Lamarck must become a synonym of Ancillaria,
his first species being A. glabrata: Lamarck's assemblage of
species, however, clearly indicate his intention. Naturalists have
done much to render science and themselves contemptible by
expending their time upon the nomenclature, instead of the
structure and habits of animals. Ebunio. Lamarck is well under-
stood and will answer my purpose.
I commence with those species showing the least, shoulder,
ending with those in which it is most strongly defined. My
illustrations are mainty derived from'Sowerby's Thesaurus Con-
chyliorum : Reeve has also monographed the genus is his Con-
chologia Iconica.

umbilical region narrow, covered. Length, T75 inches.
Cape of Good Hope.
A rare species.
E. ZEYLANICA, Brug. PI. 82, figs. 461, 462.
Painted with oblique blotches below the sutures, and in a
revolving series near the base; other spots smaller; shoulder
rounded, scarcely apparent; umbilicus open, its margin some-
times tuberculated and tinged with violet.
Length, 2-2'f 5 inches.

more numerous. Length. 2-2*5 inches.
Japan.
Mr. Arthur Adams has described the animal of this species.*
He says : The tentacles are ringed with red brown, and speckled
with light yellow ; and the siphon is spotted with yellowish white,
and irregularly banded with red brown lines. The foot (long,
large, thick, and flesh}', like that of Buccinurn), is transversely
banded with irregular red brown lines and minutely spotted with
pale yellow. The sole is also edged with pale yellow. At the
caudal extremity of the foot there is a single conspicuous cylin-
drical terminal filament. He obtained living specimens from 35
fathoms, off Tsu-saki, in Japan.
E. FORMOSA, Sowb. PL 82, fig. 475.
Coloring, large brown blotches, more or less confluent into
longitudinal zigzag markings ; no spots. Length, 1*5 inches.
Island of Formosa.
E. LUTOSA, Lam. PL 82, fig. 465.
Blotches of color pale and irregular, rarely in spots, usually
arranged in an upper broad, and two inferior and narrower re-
volving series, separated by narrow white spaces. The epidermis,
usually orange-brown, is more persistent upon this than on any
other species except E. spirata. Length, 2-2'5 inches.

E. AREOLATA, Lam. PI. 82, fig. 476 ; PL 83, fig. 525.
Shell thinner than E. lutosa, with shoulder more marked and
slightly channelled ; umbilicus wider, open ; same pattern of
markings as E. lutosa, but color much darker, blotches more
regular, quadrangular, the three revolving series more widely
separated by intervening white spaces.
Length, 2-25-3-5 inches.
Ceylon ; China Sea, 14 fathoms.
E. spirata, Linn., included this species, as well as the one which
now bears that name. Lamarck separated and defined the two
forms.
E. SPIRATA, Lam. PL 82, figs. 466-468 ; PL 84, fig. 526.
Shoulder sharp-edged, deeply channelled ; umbilicus narrow,
perforated or closed ; epidermis frequently adhering, dark brown ;
coloring a well-defined series of blotches superiorly, below which
are numerous, rather large transverse or oblique oval spots ;
some of the latter frequently become confluent into an inferior
revolving series of irregular or cuneiform markings.
Length, 2-3 inches.

E. CHRYSOSTOMA, Sowb. PL 82, fig. 469.
The blotches and spots are both smaller and more numerous
than in E. spirata, the form is more oval, the coloring brighter,
including a carneous aperture and columella.
Ceylon.
I separate this from E. spirata with some hesitation. Sowerby
considers his Fig. 3 of E. spirata to represent this species ; it has
the coloration, but the form and markings are of the charcteristic
spirata pattern. Perhaps it would bo better regarded as a
variety of spirata.
E. BORNEENSTS, Sowb. PL 82, fig. 464.
Spots large, dark chestnut, distributed over the surface with
no arrangement into revolving series. Length, 2 inches.

Peculiar in the coloring and leopard-like arrangement of the
spots.
ZEMIRA. 213
E. SEMIPICTA, Sowb. PL 82, fig. 470.
Epidermis yellowish. The two-banded arrangement of the
spots and absence of superior row of blotches will 'serve to dis-
tinguish this species. Length, 1'7 inches.
Habitat unknown.
E. PERFORATA, Sowb. PI. 82, fig. 471.
The deep, wide channel, short rounded whorls, turbinate spire,
very wide umbilicus, with tuberculate margin and central callus
deposit, and above all the peculiar zebra-like coloring, will serve
to distinguish this species. Length, 2 inches.
Habitat unknown.
E. AMBULACRUM, Sowb. PI. 82, tig. 472.
Very deeply channelled, with short whorls, somewhat flattened
upon the upper half;, color darker than in the other species in
consequence of the color blotches and spots nearly covering the
entire surface. Length. 1*5 inch.
Island of Mindanao, Philippines.
E. YALENTJNIANA, Swains. PL 82, fig. 473.
Shell ovate-globose, heavy, shoulder channelled; spire very
short ; umbilicus narrow, covered with callus. Color like that of
E. spirata. Length, 1'75 to 2-25 inches.
Persian Gulf ; Red Sea.
Von Martens considers this merely a short form of E. spirata,
and it is quite possible that such is the case, although the three
figures which he gives I would refer without doubt to Valentini-
ana. I cannot adopt the Chemnitziaii name Molliana, because
he was not a binomial author.
Rubgfmis ZEMIRA, H. :m<l A. Adam.-.
The revolving channel near the base of the shell, ending in a
tooth-like projection on the outer lip, has induced Sowerby to
class this species in the genus Pseudolivai it seems nearly
related to Eburna, however.
E. AUSTRALIS, Sowb. PL 82, fig. 474.
Shell covered by revolving incised lines ; epidermis very thin,
yellowish ; irregularly brown spotted, spots usually more promi-
nent on the shoulder border, Length, -66 inch.
Port Jackson, Australia ; 10 fathoms.
214 MACRON.
Genus MACRON, H. and A. Adams.
This was originally described as a subgenus of Pseudoliva,
which it resembles in having an inferior revolving groove ter-
minating in a small tooth-like projection of the outer lip ; the
operculum, however, is unguiculate like that of the Eburna 1 ,
whilst that of Pseudoliva is purpuroid. The more decided canal
and absence of sutural channel, and the rather persistent black-
ish brown epidermis, will distinguish it from the subgenus Zemira
of Eburna. Its locality, West Coast of North America, is also
a distinctive character ; Eburna being East Indian, and Pseudo-
liva African in distribution. The species are partly included in
Sowerby's monograph of Pseutfolwa in Thesaurus Conch.,
Vol. III.
M. KELLETTII, A. Adams. PL 82, fig. 477.
Epidermis blackish or dark brown, under which the shell is

rounded ribs, sometimes only apparent on the lower part of the
body whorl, sometimes obsolete. Length, 1*75 to 3 inches.
Sun Diego, Cal.; Gulf of California.
Buccinum JEthiops, Reeve, has been confounded with this
species, but is a very different shell, entirety distinct in its over-
hanging ribs, broad flat shoulder, want of tooth on the lip, etc. ;
in fact is a synonym of Purpuru cingulttta. Linn. M. KelieUii.

Mr. Stearns thinks this will prove to be a small form of M.
Kellettii, dwarfed by reason of its northern liabitat. Its perfect
growth, narrower form, much smaller size, and thick lip indicate
to me adult specimens of a "distinct species.

PHOS. 215
Sub-Family
Uenus PHOS, Montfurt.
The animal of P/?ox has a small head, with the tentacles ap-
proximating or connate at their base, and eyes near their tips ;
foot dilated, forming an auriculate, shield-like lobe in front, and
terminating behind in a long, tapering filament.
The species of / J /i0x bear some resemblance to Nassa, and
were originally placed in the family Xassidre; from which, how-
ever, they are distinguished by certain good conchological and
malacological characters. The turreted form, cancellated sur-
face and grooved interior of aperture are common to Nassa also,
but the oblique basal fold of the columella is characteristic of
this genus. The animal differs from Buccinum in the foot,
ending in a filament behind : Naxsa has a bifid posterior termina-
tion, The genus is widely diffused, the species however, as far
as known, being rather local in distribution. Plios has been
monographed b}' Sowerby in Thesaurus Conch yiiorum, Vol. III.
An inspection of his plates suggests the probable identity of
many of the species there figured as distinct. No allowance is
made by most describers for individual variation in form, sculp-
ture and coloring; yet. where a number of specimens of a species
from a single locality are compared, there will usually be found
to exist much difference in the number and prominence of ribs
and stria', coloring, etc. Even the augulated (or shouldered)
body whorl appears to be a variable character; some specimens
of a single lot of P. Gu&daloupensi* being broadly shouldered
as described ; others entirely without shoulder or angulation. I
am convinced that March's submenus Strongyloc&rte, comprising
the species with nngulated whorls has no title to distinction, and
I have suppressed it according!} 7 . I have allowed some species
to stand provisionally which, judging from the ascertained range
of variation in other forms, will probably eventually be con-
sidered synonyms.

I am compelled to refer to this form a considerable number of
species which do not appear to me to have distinctive characters :
I have figured them all, however, and those who suppose that I
am too conservative, will be able thereby to form their own con-
clusions. P. muricatulus, Gould (fig. 484), from Japan; P. an-

PH. ADAMSI, Petit. PL 83, fig. 491.
Whitish, obscurely fasciated with brown ; regularly cancellated,
and prickly nodose. Length, 1 inch.
Habitat unknown.
This appears to be less pyramidal in form, and differs also from
senticosus in its equally prominent longitudinal and revolving
sculpture ; still, it may be only a variety. It was described by
A. Adams as P. cancellatus, which name being preoccupied,
Petit changed it to Ph. Adamsi.
P. PLICOSUS, Bunker. PI. 83, tigs. 523, 522, 524.
Ribs rather distant, tubercled at the shoulder of the whorls,
encircled by close, sharp revolving stri;e; white, middle of outer
lip and base of shell chestnut-brown. Length, 1*2 inches.
Cape of Good Hope.
The type is b:tdly figured (tig. 523), yet the description identi-
fies it with the subsequently published P. speciosas. A. Ad. (fig.
524) and P. Morrlssii, I) linker (fig. 522 j. The ribs are somewhat
closer and the shoulder angle not so marked as in P. pallidus,
the revolving strite are inuch finer, and the chestnut coloring
appears to be a constant distinctive character.

Philippines ; Indian Ocean ; Andaman Men.
The richly colored interior is the best character by which to
distinguish this species. It has several synonyms : P.pyrostoma,
Reeve (fig. 501); P. cancellatus, Quoy (fig. 498); P. varians,
Sowb. (figs. 503, 504); P. spinicostatux, A. Ad. (fig.. 505); P.
BlainriUei, Desh. (fig. 500). The last name is adopted by
Sowerby for this species, although Deshayes himself considers
it a synonym of P. textum in his edition of Lamarck, published
3f> years ago. P. cyanostoma, A. Ad. (fig. 507), as illustrated by
Sowerby in his " Thesaurus.' 1 is also a synonym ; but Mr. E. A.
Smith says that this is a mistake in identification, the true
cyanostoma being different. Adams never published a figure.
PH. ROSEATUS, Hinds. PI. 83, figs. 508-511.

Panama ; Philippines f
A stout, ovate, rugose species, with prominent nodulated
shoulder and Nassa-like form. Ph. pallidus is known to come
from Panama, yet it is recorded " Philippines " in Sowertty's

and I do not think the locality can be correct in either case.

PHOS. 219
Hinds described this species from a young shell (fig. 527),
which, however, agrees well enough with Ph. Gumingii, Reeve
(fig. 519). The figures given in Sowerby's Thesaurus (fig. 518,
gaudens, fig. 528, Cumingii), differ somewhat, but evidently
belong to the same species. I am very doubtful of the propriety
of separating this from Ph, articulatus, Hinds ; from which typi-
cally it differs in the smaller number of ribs.
PH, VERAGUENSIS, Hinds. PL 84, figs. 529-532, 534.
Shell without shoulder, closely covered with narrow, elevated,
longitudinal ribs, crossed by narrow, raised revolving lines,
forming prickly tubercles at the intersections. Yellowish or
brownish, sometimes faintly banded. Length, 1-1'25 inches.
Veragua, W. Coast of Central America ; West Indies ; Senegal.
I cannot detect any difference between the West Coast and
West Indian specimens, and accordingly place in the synonymy
the following species from the latter area : Ph. Antillarum, Petit
(fig. 531) and Ph. Candei, d'Orb. (fig. 534). Ph. Grateloupiana,
Petit (fig. 532), said to come from Senegal, may also be placed
here.
PH. BEAUII, Fischer. PL 84, fig. 533.

most important differential character.

great individual variation. I unite with this species P. textilinus,
Morch. Nassa unicincta, Say (fig. 512), is an unidentified species
which may possibly equal Guadeloupensis ; if so, it will have
priority.
Doubtful and Undetermined Species.

PH. CANCELLARE, Menke, PH. DUMALE. Phil, Marquesas Is.
PH.. FUSOIDES, C. B. Ad. Panama.
A single specimen described as a Triton, having varices upon
the whorls. P. P. Carpenter, who has examined it, says that it
is not a Triton however, that the aperture has an anterior sinus
of the lip, and that it may be an Euthria. The lip sinus and
other characters, however, agree well enough with Phos.
PH. BIPLICATUS, Carpenter. Panama.
Not figured ; described from a single specimen. The diagnosis
fairl}' applies to Ph. Veraguensis, Hinds.
(ienus ENGINA, (iniy.
A group of Columbelloid shells, nodulously, longitudinally
ribbed. The dentition of one species, E. mendicaria, has been
published (PL 27, fig.36), and exhibits the characteristic features
of the Photinte. There must always be some doubt as to identifi-
cation of species in a case where, like the present one, a single
character antagonizes all the others ; and, on consideration, I
prefer to continue to include Engina among the Columbellidae
until the weight of evidence shall be more decisively against it.
than it is at present. Even if no mistake has been made, and
the lingual examined was that of E. mendicaria, it by no
means follows that the other species possess similar armature.
So decidedly is the shell Columbelloid that to separate the genus
on account of the dentition of a single species would be, I think,
unphilosophical and undesirable.
Genus NASSARIA (Link), H. <fe A. Adams.
Animal with the tentacles connate at the base ; with the eyes
near their distal ends; foot anteriorly produced, ending behind
in a simple tail without filament.
N ASS ART A. 221
This genus partakes of the characters of several recognized
forms. Its animal, however, differs from that of Triton in the
approximated tentacles, with the eyes near their ends, and the
anteriorly produced foot ; from that of Nassa in the tail not being
bifurcated. In its shell it may be known from Phos by its
recurved canal ; from Nassa by its circumscribed inner lip and
elongated canal ; and from Triton by its want of irregular varices.
The first attempt at a monograph of this interesting little genus
was made by Mr. Arthur Adams, in the Zool. Proc. for 1853, in
connection with the publication of the generic diagnosis. Subse-
quently, illustrated monographs have been published by Sowerby
in his Thesaurus Conchyliorum and by Kobelt in the Conchylien
Cabinet of Kiister. The few species are all inhabitants of the
tropical Asiatic coasts and contiguous seas.
N. NIVEA, Gmel. PL 84, figs. 535-538.
Whitish, sometimes with a rosy tinge. Length, 22 mill.
Tranquebar ; Singapore ; Malacca.
I consider Triton carduus, Reeve (fig. 537), a synonym of this
species ; Kobelt being very much mistaken in referring it to the
genus Trophon. In N. multiplicata, Sowb. (fig. 538), I am also
unable to find distinctive characters.
N. SOPHIA, Benoit. Manual II, t, ti<5, f. 381.
Yellowish brown. Length, 34 mill.
Mediterranean, Coralline zone.
A single specimen in the collection of Benoit. I have described
and figured this species under Coralliophila in Vol. II, p. 211 ;
its generic position being somewhat doubtful. ATI European
conchologist has referred it to Naxsaria nivea, and there is, of.
course, a possibility that it is a specimen of that species intro-
duced accidentally into the Mediterranean Sea.
N. ACUMINATA, Reeve. PL 84', figs. 539-546, 548.
Whitish, indistinctly fasciate with reddish brown.
Length, 39 mill.
China tiea ; Indian Ocean.
With this species I unite N. bitubercularis, A. Ad. (fig. 541),
from the Philippine Islands ; N. suturalis, A. Ad. (fig. 542), from
Malacca; N. recurva, Sowb. (fig. 543), from Ceylon; N. vari-
222 NASSARIA.
cifera, A. Ad. (tig. 544), China Sea, distinguished only by having
an occasional varix ; N. nodicostata, A. Ad. (fig. 545), habitat

Sowb. (fig. 548).
N. FUSIFORMIS, Sowb. PI. 84, fig. 547.
Light reddish, slightly fasciated. Length, 19-26 mill.
China Sea ; Malacca .
Kobelt remarks upon the resemblance of N. turrita, Sowb.
(fig. 548), to N. fusiformis, and that the more slender form and
higher spire alone distinguish them from N. nivea: I think,
however, that the resemblance to N. acuminata is still more
striking.
N. NASSOIDES, Gray. PI. 84, figs. 549, 550.
Yellowish white, ribs faintly tinged with brown.
Length, 23 mill.
Philippines.
Distinguished from its congeners by the peculiar expansion of
the outer lip.
N. MAGNIFICA, Lischke. PL 84, figs. 551, 552.
Reddish brown, with one or two white bands. Length, 2 in.
Southern Japan.
I figure, from Kobelt (fig. 552). a non-tuberculate variety of
this fine species.
N. EGREGIA, Reeve. PL 84, fig. 553.
Yellowish white, ribs crossed by narrow, close, brown bands.
Length, 1*4 in.
Isle of Masbate, Philippines ; under stones at low water.
Described as a Triton and excluded by Kobelt from Nassaria
and referred to T. eximius, Reeve. It is certainly not that
species, although possibly a Triton. The want of varices and
form of the shell certainly indicate close relationship with
N. nivea.
N. CLATHRATA, Reeve. PL 84, fig. 554.
Whitish, apex pale pink. Length, 1-25 in.
Habitat unknown.
CYLLENE. 223
I know nothing of this shell. It ma}- be a distorted Nassaria,
and is equally likely to be a Cor alii ophila. It was described as
a Murex which it certainly is not.
N. CUBTA, Gould (unfigured). Port Jackson (W. Stimpson).
N. PAGODA, Reeve described as a Triton, and referred by Kobelt
to this genus, is a true Nassa from Panama.
N. ANGICOSTATA. Pease (= Buccinum farinosum Gould), is an
Engina.
N. AMBOYNENSIS, Watson. Amboyna.
Not figured. It is said to resemble "N. acuminata, Rve., but
is shorter, squatter, coarser, with more ribs, is deeper in suture ;
the canal is shorter, more recurved, and more twisted."
Genus CYLLENJE, (irav.
The species of Cyllene inhabit the intertropical coasts of
Africa, the Malaysian Archipelago, etc. They live with the
Nassas along shore lines and do not appear to inhabit great
depths. The animal which is unknown, is supposed, from the
sutural slit which characterizes the shell, to possess a mantle
provided with a prolongation or fold occupying this slit, some-
what analogous perhaps, with that of Oliva. The operculum of
C. lyrata is elongated, rhomboidal, with terminal nucleus, exter-
nally concave, internalty convex.
The genus has been monographed by Sowerb}^, in his u The-
saurus." Specimens are rare in collections, and the want of
material prevents me from proving or disproving the suspicion
which I strongly entertain that all the forms described are mere
variations of a single protean species. It is certain that neither
coloring nor sculpture present reliable characters, and even
Sowerby places together ribbed and plain specimens in his
C. plumbea.
C. LYRATA, Lam. PL 84, figs. 555-5(>0.
Whitish, sometimes with interrupted bands, or a single band.
Length, -75 in.
W, Africa.
224 CTLLENE.
C. sulcaia, A. Ad. (fig. 559), is certainly identical, and C. uni-
maculata, A. Ad. (fig. 560), is merely less sculptured, with a
brown spot on the shoulder.
C. LUGUBRIS, Ad. and Reeve. PI. 84, figs. 561-563.
Yellowish, light brown or chocolate, with sometimes two or
three revolving series of reddish brown spots.
Length, '50--75 in.
Sooloo Isles ; Singapore, 6 fathoms, mud; Malacca,
6 fathoms, sand. Cuming. . W. Africa ? Japan.
C. fuscata, A. Ad. (fig. 562), from Malacca and Singapore,
and C. pallida, A. Ad. (fig. 563), from W. Africa ? are certainly
the same. The variation of this type from C. lyrata, consists in
the smaller, more numerous ribs, and is probably not a good
distinctive character.
C. OWENI, Gray. PI. 84, figs. 564-566.
Yellowish brown, maculated or blotched with red-brown,
Japan ; Senegal.
The rather close ribs are not prominent, and are crossed by
pretty strong revolving lines, giving a closely cancellated appear-
ance. C. Senegalensis, Petit (fig. 566), and G. Orientalis, A.
Ad, (fig. 565), appear to be synonymous with this form.
C. PULCHELLA, Ad. and Reeve. PI. 84,. figs. 567-571.
Flesh- or ash-color, sometimes banded or spotted in revolving-
series, or blotched with reddish brown.
Borneo ; Japan.
Ribs and revolving striae both obsolete, except a few impressed
revolving lines at base ; almost positively a smooth state of C.
lyrata. I unite with this C. Grayi, Reeve (fig. 568), C.glabrata,
A. Ad. (fig. 569), G. striata, A. Ad. (fig. 570), and G. Guillaini,
Petit (fig. 571).
C. CONCINNA, Soland. PI. 84, fig. 572.
Fusiform, pale, blotched with brown, smooth. Length, *5 inch.
Hob. unknown.
Probably only a depauperate form of the last.
C. PLUMBEA, Sowb. PI, 84, figs. 573, 574.
Chocolate-brown, ribbed or smooth.
Hab. unknown.

TRITONIUJE.
EPIDROMUS BEDNALLI, Brazier. P. 32, t. 85, lig. 576.
Through the kindness of Mr. Brazier I am enabled to figure a
specimen of this species.
TRITON PHILOMELA, Watson. Nightingale I. Tristaoda Cunha.
RANELLA FIJIENSIS, Watson. Fiji Islands.
The first dredged at 100-150 fathoms, the last at 315 fathoms.
No figures have been published.
FUSIIXE.
PERISTERNIINJ;.
Genus MAZZALINA, Conrad. Not characterized. The type
appears to be very similar to Lagena, Schum., if not identical
with that genus. I figure it from the original specimen.
M. PYRULA, Conrad. PL 85, lig. 577. Eocene, Alabama.
LATIRUS NAGASAKIENSIS, E. A. Smith. PL 85, fig. 578. Japan.
The large chocolate plic^are twice the width of the pale inter-
mediate spaces.
LATIRUS. (Fusus) CANALICULATUS, Gray. China.
Described as a Fusus, but has oblique coluniellar plaits. It
has never been figured, nor mentioned by the monographers,
and I suppose that, like many of Gray's species, the type is lost.

LEUCOZONIA CINGULATA, Lam.
On page 96 I have given Florida as a locality, on the authority
of Mr. W. W. Calkins, who informs me that the name is a mis-
print in his Catalogue ; L. cingulifera being the species which
he intended to mention, as collected there.
TURBINELLA INTERMEDIA, Koch. Habitat unknoirii.
The figure given in Kiister is that of a very much water-worn
shell, so that its characters cannot be certainly made out ; it
appears to me to be very like T. filamentosa, Koch (t. 69, f. 151).
a synonym of Latirus brevicaudatus. Reeve.
Luigi Bellardi, in his " Molluschi dei Terreni Terziarii del
Piemonte e della Liguria," makes the following fossil genera :
Genus JANI A, Bellardi. Shell subfusiform ; spire elongate;
mouth scarcely canaliculate behind ; lip marginate, nodose or
plicate within ; columella uniplicate anteriorly and posteriorly ;
canal short, recurved.
1. ANGULOSA, Brocchi. PI. 85, fig. 579.
Genus MAYERIA , Bellardi. Ovate. fusiform, spire short, but
slightly acute ; whorls very sharply carinate in the middle ;
columella smooth, rather straight in front, canal moderate.
M. ACUTISSIMA, Bellardi. PL 85, tig. 583.
Genus ANTJRA, Bellardi. Shell tuirreted, ovate vrntricosi- :
whorls convex ; mouth orbicular or suborbicular ; lip somewhat
arcuate, exteriorly subvaricose in the adult, interiorly margined
and smooth; canal scarcely produced; columella slightly con-
torted, smooth.
A. INPLATA, Brocchi. PL 85, fig. 581.
Genus MITRJEFUSUS, Bellardi. Elongated, mitrjeform ;
spire very long and acute ; whorls numerous, the last scarcely
depressed in front ; mouth narrow, long ; lip simple ; canal long,
produced in the axis of the shell.
M. ORDITUS, Bell, et Mich. PL 85, fig. 580.
APPENDIX. 221
Genus GENEA, Bellardi. Shell subfusiform, long, narrow ;
spire long, very acute ; mouth long, narrow ; lip simple ; colu-
mella smooth, but slightly arcuate ; canal very short, wide,
straight.
G. BONELLTT, Gene. PI. 85, fig. 582.
FTJSUS.
A monograph of this genus has been published by Mr. G. B.
Sowerby in the " Thesaurus Conchyliorum," since the appear-
Mnce of the pages comprising the Fusidre in the present volume.
The " Fusus " of Mr. Sowerby is an assemblage of shells belong-
ing to a number of genera, omitting many species and misinter-
preting others, and (inevitable under such circumstances)
describing as new, a number of forms which scarcely present
sufficient claims to novelty. The figures are superb in their life-
like delineation of the shells ; indeed, in this respect Mr.
Sowerby is without a rival, for to great technical skill he unites
a scientific knowledge of the subjects he delineates. I give
below the names, localities and copies of the figures of the sup-
posed new species, together with opinions and suggestions con-
cerning them.
F. PERCY ANUS, Sowb. PL 85, fig. 586. Habitat unknown.
Appears to be a fine F. polygonmdes, Lain., a very variable
species.
F. SAND VTCHEN sis, Sowb. PI. 85, fig. 51)1. Sandwich Is.
= F, spectrum, Ads. and Reeve, var. No-vse-Hollandix, Reeve.
F. SPIRALIS, A. Adams. PI, 85, fig. 593. New Zealand.
F. spectrum. Ads. and Reeve.
F. DILECTUS, A. Ad. PL 85, fig. 590. Habitat unknown.
= F. distans. Lam. (versicolor, Gmel. ?), young.
F. L^BVIGATUS, Sowb. PL 85, fig. 588. Australia.
= F. Australia, Quo} r (F. marmoratns, Phil.).
F. RUDICOSTATUS, Sowb. PL 86, fig. 594. Australia.
= F. AustraHsj Quoy (F. marmaratus, Phil.).
228 , APPENDIX.
F. NODICINCTUS, A. .Ad. PI. 86, fig. 595. Australia.
= F. Australia Quoy (F. marmoratus, Phil.).
F. BIANGULATUS, Desh. PI. 86, 'fig. 596. Habitat unknown.
= F. polygonoides, Lam.
F. SUBQUADRATUS, Sowb. PI. 86, fig. 597. Habitat unknown.
Very close to F. leptorhynclms, Tapparone-Canefri.
F. ACUTICOSTATUS, Sowb. PI. 85, fig. 584. Habitat unknown.
Appears to = F. caelatus, Reeve.
F. ARTICULATUS, Sowb. PL 86, fig. 602. Habitat unknown.
= F. australis, Quoy (F. marmoratus, Phil.).
F. ASSIMTLIS, A. Adams. PI. 86, fig. 601. Habitat unknown.
Perhaps a variety of F. turricula, Kiener.
F. VULPICOLOR, Sowb. PL 85. fig. 585. Falkland Is.
F. GRAOILIFORMIS, Sowb. PL 85, fig. 592. Japan.
F. RUBROLINEATUS, Sowb. PL 86, fig. 604.
Agulhas Bank, So. Africa.
Evidently an immature shell.
F. REEVEANUS, Petit. PL 86, fig. 600. . New Zealand.
This is not Petit 's species, which I have figured under Siphon -
alia. PL 56, fig. 383. If the localit}' of the specimen is correct,
it is possibly one of the southern Trophons, allied to T. Stan-
geri, Gray.
F. ROBUSTIOR, Sowb. PL 86, fig. 603. Gape of Good Hope.
Is allied to F. ocelli ferus. but has a more distinct shoulder and
tubercles. This is one of those species which combines the
characters of more than one genus : it may be considered either
a Fusus, Hemifusns or Siplionalia.
F. CRENULATUS, Sowb, PL 87, fig. 623. Cape of Good Hope.
This perhaps, is also a Siplionalia.
F. DEPICTUS, Sowb. PL 85, fig. 589. Habitat unknown.
S. G. Sinistralia. A quite young shell : I do not recognize it.
APPENDIX. 229
F. ALBINUS, A. Adams. PI. 86, fig. 599. W. Africa.
Yery closely allied to, if not identical with, F. tistulatus.
Reeve.
F. FILOSUS, Schubert and Wagner.
Sowerby remarks that F. filosus, Lam., is a Latirus ; but this
is the same species, the plicae frequently becoming obsolete on
the columella of the adult. I have figured it as Latirus.
P. EXCAVATUS, Sowb. PI. 86, fig. 598. Habitat unknown.
F..TENUISTRIATUS, Sowb. PL 86, fig. 608. Habitat unknown.
This is not a Fusus: it may be a Trophon or Siphon alia.
F. FUSCONODOSUS, Sowb. PI. 86, fig. 605. Habitat unknown.
F. L^TUS, Sowb. PL 86, fig. 606. Habitat unknown.
F. TESSELLATUS, Sowb. PL 86, fig. 607. Habitat unknown.
Closely allied species, or three forms of one species.
F. OAUDATTJS, Qiioy. PI. 85, fig. 581. Habitat unknown.
This does not correspond with Quoy's species (t. 34, f. 119).
It is probably immature, and not readily determinate.
MELONGENA.
M. ANGULATA. Sowb. (Fusus). Australia.
= Melongena pallida, Brod. and Sowb., p. 109.
Substituted for Fusus lignarius, Reeve, preoccupied in that
genus. The shell is a Melongena, however, and is a synonym,
besides.
M. ANCEPS, A, Ad. (Fusus\ PL 8t, fig. 609. Australia.
Probably a var. of M. pallida, Brod. and Sowb., p. 109.
M. PYRULOIDES, DeKay (Fusus). N. America.
Sowerby's figure, which he says is copied from that in the
Nat. Hist., of New York, varies in several important particulars :
he has evidently tried to improve it from the description. It
was found adhering to the bottom of a vessel, and is supposed to
have come from the South. Yery probably a depauperate M.
corona, Gmelin, with the spines suppressed.
230 APPENDIX.
NEPTUNEA.
X. TORNATA, Gould (Fusus). PI. 87, fig. 616. Mas*a,ch-u&eM#.
This is not Gould's species ; the latter I have figured (t. 46, f.
261). Is it possibty au extreme form of N. decemcostata, Say ?
X. INCISA, Gould (Fusus). PL 87, fig. 611. Northern Seas.
This also is an erroneous determination. No such shell in-
habits our coast. The true F. incisus, Gould = Euthrio dira,
Reeve (PI. 72, fig. 233), and is from New Zealand.
N. T^ENIATA, Sowb. (Fusus). PI. 87, fig, 614. Japan.
This is probably a var. of Neptunea despecta, var. arfh.ri/ira.
X. BOREALIS, Sowb. PL 87, fig. 615. British Coaxfx.
= N. despecta, var. saturnus, Mart.
