MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


CONUS. 


Iy the following arrangement of species, | have endeavoured to 
bring together those most nearly resembling each other, to facili- 
tate comparison. In doing this I have found the gradations so 
subtle as almost to defy any systematic division into defined 
groups. ‘There are no single characters which can be depended 
upon with any certainty in determining the affinities and distine- 
tions either of groups or species. It is more by the eye, taking 
in an assemblage of characters, and regarding the general appear- 
ance, that they can be appreciated. Thus, although for conveni- 
ence I have followed a prevailing custom in placing by themselves 
in groups nearly all the coronated species, yet there still remain 
some coronated species whose general characters forced me to 
place them in widely different groups, while some generally coro- 
nated species present varieties in which the whorls are smooth. 
This is only one instance of what occurs with regard to almost 
any character that can be named, such as length of spine, granu- 
lation, ete. Under these circumstances it is impossible to main- 
tain perfect consistency as to retaining and proposing some spe- 
cies and rejecting others. As the collector’s great object however 
is to know the shells, I have preferred in most cases giving the 
species as they stand, stating the alleged differences, and leaving 
the final decision to individual taste. Thus, some eight or ten so- 
called species of the ¢ewti/e group, are, to the best of my belief, 
mere variations of one type; yet I have admitted them in the cata- 
logue, simply stating the points in which they are said to differ. 


a. Coronated, turbinated, straight-sided. 


1. mperraris, Linn.—C. oblongus, tuberculis magnis corona- 
tus, medio subcontractus, versus basin attenuatus; albus, czeruleo 
VOL. It. B 


2 


tinctus, castaneo bifasciatus, punctis et lineis interruptis cinctus 
(Plate I. f. 2).—The interrupted lines are coincident in downward 
flashes, and united by two chestnut bands; coronal tubercles 
large. 

2. guscatus, Born.—C. C. imperiali similis, sed flammis cas- 
taneis longitudinalibus magnis ornatus (f. 3).—In this species 
the downward flashes are large, dark, and defined, while the inter- 
rupted cross-lines are less prominent. 


3. viripuLus, Lamk.—C. C. imperiali similis sed brevior, 
flammis longitudinalibus subviridibus angustatis (f. 1).—Rather 
shorter than the two preceding, with the downward flashes narrow 
and greenish. 

4. marmornus, Linn.—C. oblongus, tuberculis magnis coro- 
natus, medio subcontractus, albus, roseo tinctus ; lineis nigrescen- 
tibus semicircularibus pictus, interstitiis cordiformibus (f. 5).— 
The ground is tinged with rose-colour, and the whole surface is 
reticulated with semicircular lines, leaving heart-shaped interstices. 


5. Banpanus, Brug.—C. C. marmoreo similis, sed maculis tri- 
gonis castaneis reticulatus, medio leviter bifasciatus (f. $).—The 
shell is generally straighter, and the chestnut markings broader, 
particularly in two central zones. Probably only a variety of C. 
MAT MOVEUS. 


6. nocrurnus, Brug.—C. C. marmoreo similis, sed colore ni- 
grescenti pictus, interstitiis cordiformibus, albis, paucis (f. 4)— 
Probably another var. of C. marmoreus, in which the dark colour- 
ing nearly covers the shell. 


7. Desurcutm, Sowb.—C. subyentricosus, versus basin angus- 
tatus, nodulis contractis coronatus, albus, roseo tinctus, fasciis latis 
duabus castaneis et lineis cordiformibus pictus; variat granulatus 
(f. 6, 7).—Coloured like C. nocturnus, and usually considered as 
a variety, but it is bottle-shaped, and the crowning nodules are 
contracted into rounded nipples. The smooth variety (f. 7) is in 
the collection of Mrs. Deburgh, who first remarked it as a distinct 
species. 

8. vipua, Reeve-—C. quam C. marmoreus brevior, ad angu- 
lum rotundatus, ad basin contractus; fusco angulatim minuté 
reticulatus (f. 9, 10).—Shorter and more contracted at the base 
than C. marmoreus, with the angular reticulations more numerous 
and fine. 


9. Nicosarscus, Bray.—C. oblongus, lateribus rectis; spira 


DSs| 


3 


concavi, nodulis acutis coronati; albus, luteo tinctus, lineis et 
maculis nigrescentibus reticulatus (f. 11, 12).—The depressed 
spire and sharp coronal tubercles, with the dark and sharp reti- 
culated markings, distinguish this shell from C. vzdua on one side 
and C. Nicobaricus on the other. 


10. aracHNorpeus, Gme/.—C. oblongus, lateribus paululum 
inflatis, roseo tinctus, rubro-nigrescente minuté reticulatim linea- 
tus, medio plus minusve bifasciatus (f. 14).—Minutely reticulated 
with dark reddish lines. 


11. Pertum, Chemn.—C. quam C. arachnoideus brevior, ma- 
culis trigonis angulatis castaneis minuté seriatim pictus; variat 
bifasciatus (f. 13; f. 390).—A shorter shell than C. arachnoideus, 
with close-set camp-like markings. The banded variety (f. 390) 
assists the identification with Chemnitz’s shell. 


12. zonatus, Brug.—C. oblongus, corond obtus4; spira brevi, 
ceruleo maculata et bifasciaté, nigro lineat& (Plate Il. f. 15).— 
This species is distinguished by the regular cross-lines and the 
tessellated bluish markings and bands between. 


13. aLpicans, Sows.—C. oblongus, lateribus rectis, ad basin 
angustus, albus, ad basin fusco tinctus, corona indistineta (f. 98). 
—A small, straight-sided, white shell, tipped with brown. 


14. tenuis, Sowb.—C. oblongus, tenuis, albus, ceruleo tinc- 
tus, ad basin castaneo tinctus, ad angulum spire et in medio cas- 
taneo punctatus; spird elevaté, nodulis momiliformibus coronata 
(f. 314).—A light, thin, bluish-white shell, with bead-lke crown, 
and two rows of chestnut spots. 

15. Rectuzranus, Bernhardi.—C. elongatus, tenuis, medio 
subcontractus, ad basin subattenuatus, pallide luteus seu roseus, 
maculis evanidis bifasciatim cinctus; spiri acuta, leviter coronata 
(f. 88, 39).—A light shell, with sharp angle and elegantly taper- 
ing form. 

16. Carntanp1, Kien.—C. solidus, oblongus, ad basin attenua- 
tus; spird depress’, tuberculis paucis coronata, inter nodulos cas- 
taned; fulvus, lineis castaneis cinctus (f. 34).—The flat top, 
cross-lines, and attenuated form of this rare shell distinguish it 
sufficiently from all others. 


17. Motiuccensts, Chemn.—C. solidus, subpyriformis, luteus, 
castaneo maculatus, seriatim granulatus ; spiri convex4, tuberculis 
magnis coronata (f. 46).—A rather pyriform shell, with convex, 
coronated spire, and granulated surface. 


4 


18, unicotor, Sowd.—C. elongatus, purpureo tinctus, inferne 
substriatus; spiri convex4, anfractu ultimo distanter coronata 
(f. 83).—A peculiar shell, of a fawn-colour tinged with purple, 
spire convex, crowned with distant nodules. 


19. murtouzatus, Sowd.—C. oblongus, solidus, seriatim gra- 
nulatus; spiri convexd, maculaté, obtuse coronata; albus, ad ba- 
sin ceruleo tinctus, medio castaneo laté bifasciatus (f. 89)—With 
a spotted, obtuse spire, granulated surface, light chestnut broad 
bands in the middle, and blue at the base. 


20. caLatus, 4. dd.—C. parvus, transversim sulcatus, sulcis 
longitudinaliter striatus; albus, aurantiaco laté reticulatus; spira 
depressii, apice acuté elevato, anfractibus minuté coronatis (f. 107). 
—Marked lke the Marmoreus group, but encircled with deep 
grooves, striated across. 


21. tivipus, Brug.—C. solidus, fulvus, interné et ad basin 
ceruleus, medio et ad angulum pallidus; spird convex’ mediocri- 
ter coronaté, apicé acuto (f. 27).—The well-known blue-tipped 
obtuse species. 


22. suerniatus, Reeve.—C. C. livido similis, sed spira castaned, 
subeanaliculata, test fasciati (f. 50).—Although the banding 
is more distinct and the whorls of the spire more canaliculated, 
I think this is but a variety of C. Zividus in a young state. Ina 
series of specimens the distinctions are lost by gradation. 


23. crrrinus, Gme/.—C. subpyriformis, breviusculus, medio et 
ad basin distanter granulatus, mterne et ad basin purpureus; 
spird obtusé coronata (f. 70).—I think the young of C. dividus 
is straighter than this shell, and Quoy, who names it C. sanguino- 
lentus, describes the animal as of a bright red colour. 


24. optus, Reeve.—C. angustatus, levis, luteo-olivaceus, su- 
perne ceruleo-albi, medio fascia pallidi cimctus; spird convexa, 
minute coronati; fauce et basi violaceis (f. 37, discoloured, and 
f. 100).—The narrowed form and minute coronation distinguish 
this from C. fividus. 


25. pisrans, Brug.—C. elongatus, medio subcontractus, basi 
attenuatus, fulvus, pallidé zonatus, versus basin leviter elevatim 
striatus, violaceo-nigrescente tinctus; spird convexd, nodulis ob- 
tusis albidis coronati, interstitiis fuscis, apice truncato; fauce 
grisei (f. 28, 29).—Remarkable for the peculiar depression of 
the apex and the white nodules of the spire interlined with dark- 
brown. 


5 


26. BaLTEATUS, Sows.—C. breviusculus, subtrigonus, fulvus, 
minuté striatus; ad basin et interne violaceus (f. 71).—Resem- 
bling C. citrinus or C. lividus, but finely striated. 


27. TaBrpus, Reeve.—C. subpyriformis, tenuis, minute sulca- 
tus, ad basin sulcis fortioribus, distantibus; colore pallido (f. 108). 
—A\ pale, rather pyriform shell, finely striated above and distantly 
suleated below. 


28. crepuscuLuM, Reeve.—C. fulvus, ad basin ceruleo tinc- 
tus, superné levis, infra minuté granulatus; spird acuminata, an- 
gulo minutissimé nodulifero (f. 96).—Like C, Zivédus in the blue 
tip, but a lighter and more angular shell. 


29. cranirer, Feeve.—C. subfusiformis, granosus, pallidus ; 
spird subcanaliculataé, apice fusco (f. 109, 110).—Our second 
figure is too darkly coloured. The shell is granulated in every 
part, and towards the base in ridges. 


30. arcuirHaLassus, D2d/w.—C. solidus, vix ventricosus, 
albus, flavido minutissimé reticulatus, castaneo fasciatus, fasctis 
et interstitiis maculis cordiformibus albis inspersis; variat granu- 
latus (f. 24, 25).—This is the “crowned admiral” of collectors, 
and although slightly more ventricose and shouldered, I have 
great hesitation in admitting its separation from C. ammiralis. 


31. princeres, Zinn.—C. solidus, turbinatus, irregulariter coro- 
natus, aurantius, lineis undulatis longitudinalibus tenuibus vel 
magnis ornatus (f. 31, 32, 33).—The shorter variety (f. 33) 
with minute lines is C. Zineolatus of Valenciennes. 


32. ruvitus, Menke.—C. tenuis, turbinatus, levis, roseus, mi- 
nute coronatus (f. 323).—I should have expected the young of 
C. princeps to present the appearance of this smooth, pink, turbi- 
nated, lightly coronated and thin shell, but am assured by Mr. 
Cuming that those collected by him are quite different. 


33. Ruvrtiu, Leeve.—C. solidus, versus basin granulatim 
striatus; spird obtusd, nodulis coronalibus obtusis ; ad spiram et in 
medio albus, fusco maculatus, omnino lineis fuscis cinctus (f. 143). 
—White at the top, and in a middle band speckled with brown ; 
the other parts chestnut, encircled with dark lines, which from the 
middle to the base are raised and granulated. 


34. Tanerrensis, Brvg.—C. subpyriformis, fusco-purpurascens, 
maculis albis vel czeruleis fluctuatis ad spiram et in medio ornatus, 
omnino leviter striatus; spird obtuse coronati (f. 26).—This 
purplish-brown shell is slightly striated, and is more pyriform 


6 . 
than C. Rattus, of which some collectors consider it a variety. 
The latter is a more turbinated shell. 


35. etapraror, Brod.—C. breviusculus, striatus, fuscus, flam- 
mis longitudinalibus fuscis seu nigris flexuosis pictus, medio pal- 
lid’ fasciatus; spird brevi, nodulis obtusis (f. 59, 60).—Distin- 
guished by flexuous downward flashes of brown. It is finely 
striated, and differs from C. drwnneus by being straighter at the 
sides. 


36. BrunNeus, M/awe.—C. subpyriformis, castaneus seu ful- 
vus, fusco maculatus, versus basin striatus; spird plus minusve 
elevatA, nodulis albis coronatd (f. 47, 48, 49).—Rather pyri- 
form, brown, with a pale band, or white or fawn, with chestnut 
bands or markings. 


37. punctatus, Chemn.—C. solidus, striatus, fulvus seu gri- 
seus medio et ad angulum albo fasciatus; punctis lineatim dispo- 
sitis ornatus; variat flammis-longitudinalibus nigrescentibus ; 
spira obtusi fusco maculata (f. 91, 92, 203).—The latter figure 
probably represents C. pedlis-hyene of Chemnitz, a variety of 
this. 


38. primuta, Reeve.—C. subpyriformis, levigater versus basin 
liratus, pallidé fulvus; spird obtusi, nodulis obtusis (f. 76).— 
A nankeen-coloured shell, rather short, solid, obtuse and smooth, 
with raised ridges near the narrow base. 


39. pramenratus, Reeve.—C. subovali-conicus, obsoleté stri- 
atus, albus, violaceo tinctus, maculis subviridibus bifasciatim dis- 
positis; spira obtusi, apice roseo (f. 101).—A purplish-white 
shell, prettily painted with touches of olive-green arrayed in two 


bands. 


40. Macrrtanicus, Brug.—C. turbinatus, parvus, solidus, pal- 
lidus, fasciis duabus latis, maculis trigonis inspersis pictus (f. 77, 
390).—In the variety represented by the latter figure the white 
bands in the centre and on the angle are prettily marked with 
reddish lines and spots. It is C. cidaris of Kiener. 


41. macuirerus, Sowh.—C. brevis, solidus, turbinatus, ma- 
culis junctis castaneis fasciatim dispositis (f. 74, 75).—More 
turbinated at the top and narrowed at the base than C. Magedla- 
nicus. The markings are more separated into patches and are 
dark chestnut. 


42. sPHACELATUS, Sowl.—C. C. maculifero similis, sed granu- 
latim sulcatus, spird exserta (f. 105, 106).—This small shell re- 


7 


sembles C. maculiferus, but it is not so smooth, and the spire is 
elevated. 


43. cppo-NuLLI, Bruy.—C. solidus, turbinatus, levigatus seu 
lineatim granulatus, fasciis latis castaneis seu aurantiis seu nigris 
irregulariter fasciatim interruptis cinctus, maculis angulatis albis 
et lineis interruptis ornatus ; spird elevaté, obtusé coronata (f. 64 
to 68).—This celebrated species is remarkable for several varia- 
tions in pattern and colouring, but the interrupted dotted dark 
and white limes are constant. 


_ 44. NeBuLosus, Solander.—C. laté turbinatus, C. cedo-nulli 
similis sed superné latior (f. 61, 62).—Broader at the top and 
less neatly coloured than C. cedo-nulli, and the dotted or granu- 
lated lines are almost entirely wanting. 


45. Leucostictus, Gmel.—C. C. cedo-nulli similis, sed valdé 
angustatus, apice obtuso (f. 35, 36).—Like C. cedo-nulli, but 
much narrower, with the angular patches of white broader. 


46. varius, Zinn.—C. elongatus, lateribus paululim ventri- 
cosis, granosus, albus seu luteus, maculis castaneis ornatus ; spira 
elevata, nodulis moniliformibus coronaté (f. 40 to 42).—White, 
granulated with patches of chestnut-colour, 


47. invERRUPTUS, Mawe.—C. C. vario similis, sed leevior, late- 
ribus rectiusculis (f. 43, 44).—Smoother and with straighter 
sides than C. varius. 


48. pLumBEUS, Reeve-—C. subpyriformis, lineis elevatis gra- 
nulatis cinctus, ceeruleus, castaneo maculatus, versus basin purpu- 
reus; spiri convexd, obtusé nodulifera (f. 131, 132).—Like C. 
varius in form, leaden and purplish in colour, granulated, and in 
the var. f. 131, named C. /iratus by Mr. Reeve, with elevated 
ridges between the grains. 


49. aLBomacuLatus, Sowd.—C. oblongus, minuté coronatus, 
granulatus, aurantius, maculis albis magnis versus spiram et infra 
medium ornatus (f. 113).—Straight-sided, granulated, orange- 
coloured, with large white spots. 


50. spectosissimus, Reeve-—C. oblongus, minuté coronatus, 
lateribus rectis; roseus, rubro late interruptim fasciatus; fasciis 
irregularibus (f. 123, 124).—Of a delicate rose-colour, with red, 
irregular, jagged bands. 


51. sprcrosus, Sowd.—C. breviusculus, turbinatus, minuté co- 
ronatus, albo rufoque irregulariter fluctuatus, flammis rufis linea- 
tim marginatis (f. 138)—More turbinated than C. speciosus, 


8 


with irregular jagged broad markings of reddish colour, bordered 
by darker lines. 

52. carprnais, Brug.—C. subpyriformis, obsoleté granulatus, 
coccineus, in medio albo fasciatus; fascid fusco maculaté; spira 
convexd, nodulis moniliferis coronaté (f. 117, 118).—Pyriform, 
coronated with minute nodules, granulated, bright-red, with a 
central white band, interrupted by brown markings. 


b. Swelled near the upper angle and base.

articulato-lineatis (f. 498, 499).—The former is characteristic of 
the species, the latter a rare variety. 


324. victor, Brod.—C. C. nobili similis, sed minor; lineis 
punctatis crebris distinctis bifasciatim pictus (f. 524).—-The arti- 
culated lines collected in two strong bands; it is also a smaller 
and straighter shell than C. nodidis, of which however it may be 
only a variety.

specimen of this magnificent species. 


326. aurtstacus, Linn.—C. oblongus, subcylindricus, solidus, 
roseo et aurantio fasciatus, inter fascias albo nigro-maculato linea- 
tus; supra prope angulum convexus; spira subelevata, nigro ma-

tus, lineis elevatis punctatis striatus, fusco interruptim bifasciatus ; 
spird depress, striata; apice acuminato (f. 503).—Striated with

solidus, ceruleus, castaneo sparsim maculatus, lineis nigris albo 
interruptis cinctus; spird obtusd, ad angulum seriatim mgro- 
punctata ; anfractibus depressis (f. 342).—More cylindrical than 
C. Adansoni, and characterized by well defined square spots on 
the angle of the whorls, and interrupted dark lines on the body.

infra granoso-liratus ; spird convex; anfractibus striatis, depressis 
(f. 277-280).—C. Adansoni stands halfway between this species 
and C. nigro-punctatus. 


334. acHatinus, Chemn.—C. oblongo-ventricosus, subceru- 
leus, articulato-lineatus, fusco-nigrescente late fasciatus seu flam- 
mulis longitudinalibus pictus (f. 335, 336; var. 343).—I cannot 
separate the latter variety, as proposed by A. Adams, under the 
name C. vinctus. 


335. asstmitis, 4. Ad.—C. C. achatino similis, sed maculis dis- 
ruptis pictus; apice roseo (f. 505).—This may be only a variety 
of C. achatinus, with the markings broken up instead of forming 
regular patches or bands. 


336. MonacHus, Jimn.—C. subovalis, subventricosus, nebu- 
losus, subezruleus, flammis nigrescentibus fluctuatim pictus, infra 
hiratus ; spira obtusi, striaté (f. 506, 507).—Of a more oval form 
than C. achatinus, and without the cross-lines. 

337. macus, Linn.—C. oblongus, infra plus minusve liratus, 
varie fasciis et flammis pictus, prope basin subangustatus; spird 


39 


suocarinata (f. 508-512).—Although subject to great variation, 
not difficult to distinguish. 


3388. circa, Chem.—C. C. monacho similis, sed ap prope 
angulum convexus, medio contractus (f. 513, 514; var. 525). 
—lam glad to recognize in this shell one of Chemnitz’s s species, 
differing from C. magus in beg more solid, swelled near the 
upper angle, and contracted at the centre. 


339. spistomium, Reeve—C. quam C. magus multo magis 
elongatus, aurantio bifasciatus et flammulatus (f. 515).—I find 
great difficulty in separating this from C. magus, although much 
more elongated in form. 


340. usruLatus, Reeve.—C. oblongus, supra subinflatus, lineis 
elevatis ubique cinctus, aurantio fasciatus, medio albo unifasciatus ; 
spird convex’; anfractibus depressis, bisulcatis (f. 516), and var. 
C. striolatus (f. 327, 328).—I think these are identical.

tanter sulcatus; albus, coloribus variegatis flammis et fasciis in- 
terruptis pictus; spira depressé ; anfractibus carinatis, valdé cana- 
liferis (f. 519-522).—In the older and larger specimens the swell- 
ing near the angle of the spire is more conspicuous; the whorls 
of the spire are deeply hollowed, with a ridge at the angle. 


342. Trmorensts, Brug.—C. elongatus, levis, pallidé roseus, 
lineis albo rubroque tzeniatus, ad basin leviter liratus; spird 
levi, anfractibus paululum excavatis (f. 517, 518).—A beautiful 
shell, coloured something in the manner of C. auwrisiacus, but 
much more delicately. 


343. TERMINUS, Reeve.—C. quam C. gubernator magis eequali- 
ter ventricosus, spire anfractibus haud tantum excavatis ; pallidé

—Of a more oval form than C. gubernator; of a delicate violet- 
colour, with large brown markings.

k. Cylindrical, inflated, sometimes coronated. 


346. arocrapnus, Linn.—C. ventricosus, inflatus, levis, pal- 
lidé roseus, ceruleo-nebulosus, lateribus rectiusculis; flammis

The well-known map-coloured, large, coronated shell. 


347. vutiea, Linn.—C. C. geographo similis, sed medio ven- 
tricosus, spird angustiore vix coronata; lineis articulatis cinctus ; 
flammis undatis (f. 551, 552).—The centre is ventricose, and 
the spire narrower than in C. geographus, scarcely coronated ; it 
is encircled with articulated lines.

obliquus, angustior, medio inflatus; spird elevata, angusta, tuber- 
culis mediocribus coronata (f. 549).—Marked in the manner of C.

angustior, spiré levigatai; czeruleus, castaneo fasciatim obscuré 
nebulosus (f. 526).—It is small, narrow, obscurely coloured with 
brown, and has a smooth spire.

niegatus et tessellatus; aperturd alba; spird subdepressi, angu- 
lata; anfractibus latis, planulatis (f.548).—Resembling C. dudlatus, 
but with a more angular top, and more tapering below; the deli- 
cate fawn-tint and tessellated markings further distinguish this 
elegant and extremely rare species. 


351. Buttatus, Linn.—C. solidus, ventricosus, levis, roseo et 
aurantio nebulosus, fusco irregulariter variegatus; spird parva, 
depressd ; anfractibus paucis, canaliferis (f. 550).—Beautifully

tus, infra sulcatus, supra angulatus, ubique fulvo-grisescente pal- 
hide nebulosus (f. 546).—From its light fawn-colour, mistaken 
by us formerly for the C. cervus. 


4) 


353. MELANCHOLICUs, Zamk.—C. oblongus, inflatus, infra sul- 
catus, attenuatus, ubique tenuissimé striatus, aurantius, infra 
medium maculis albis unifasciatus; spird alba, angulata (f. 547),— 
This shell, evidently belonging to the same group with the pre- 
ceding, is nevertheless of a very distinguished form. 


l. Cylindrical, reticulated. 


354, textitE, Jinmn.—C. cylindricus, subventricosus, lineis ru- 
bris reticulatus, laté aurantio interruptim fasciatus; fasciis lineis 
articulatis transversis et strigis longitudinalibus pictis; spira py- 
ramidali, levigataé, maculis aurantiis et lineis rubris flexuosis or- 
nata (f. 567).—The typical C. textile is a rather ventricose shell, 
reticulated with reddish lines. Interrupted by white spots and 
reticulated lines are orange bands of different widths; these bands 
are marked with downward stripes and cross-lines. The follow- 
ing shells, described by authors under different names, many of 
which I think really belong to this species, are separated, princi- 
pally on the ground of variations in the relative proportions in 
the different parts of colouring above described, and partly on 
variations of form; but the characters of the shells are very un- 
certain, and the intentions of the authors still more so. Without 
attempting to take in all the variations, I have endeavoured to 
chose the best representative of each so-called species. 


355. TIeRINUS, Sowb.—C. quam C. textile angustior, luteus, 
strigis nigrescentibus magnis ; spird prominula (f. 568; var. 579).

356. vicartus, Lamk.—C. quam C. textile magis conicus, la- 
teribus medio contractis, maculis albis magnis (f. 565).—More 
straight-sided than C. tertile, or even a little contracted in the 
middle, more white and less orange in the colouring. 


357. scriptus, Sows.—C. cylindricus, inflatus, albus, lineis te- 
nuissimis angulatis scriptus (f. 563).—A very light cylindrical 
shell, finely reticulated with very thin lines. 


358. verRicuLum, Reeve.—C. quam C. textile brevior, magis 
ventricosus, maculis albis majoribus, fasciis aurantiis disruptis 
(f. 570).—Short and stout, with a larger proportion of white 
than in C. textile. 


359. Lecatus, Lamk.—C. solidus, roseus, angustus, subangu- 
latus, tenuiter rubro reticulatus; aureo interruptim fasciatus et 
VOL. III. G 


42 


longitudinaliter fusco strigatus (f. 566).—LKasily distinguished by 
its solidity, its narrower form, and roseate hue. 


360. canonicus, Brug.—C. solidus, ceruleus, angustus, mi- 
nuté reticulatus, laté fusco-nigrescente fasciatus (f. 56$).—This 
and the following species are more solid than C. teati/e, with 
closer and darker markings. The varieties of each have been 
much confounded; some distinguish them by the roseate hue in 
the aperture of C. canonicus, but I believe M. Bruguiére meant 
C. canonicus to be a narrow, straight-sided shell, aud C. archiepis- 
copus a broader one; and he even remarks that there is a pink- 
mouthed variety of the latter. 


361. arcuriepiscopus, Brug.—C. solidus, ceruleus, ventricosus, 
minute reticulatus, fusco-nigrescente fasciatus (f. 571, 572).— 
See note on C. canonicus. 


362. pannicutus, Lamk.—C. subturbinatus, spird obtusa, 
minuté reticulatus, aurantio equaliter trifasciatus, fasciis nigro- 
lineatis ; fauce purpured (f. 574.).—Distinguished from C. textile 
and others by its more turbinated form and closer colouring. It 
is purple within. 


363. aBBas, Brug.—C. C. panniculo similis, sed fasciarum in- 
terstitiis minuté et concinné reticulatis (f. 575).—The reticulated 
lines are remarkably neat and lace-like between the bands, the 
marks being rounded and equal. 


364. See p. 47. 


865. corpuLa, Sowb.—C. cylindricus, ventricosus, tenuiter 
striatus, lineis fulvis minute reticulatus, lineis et maculis fusco- 
aurantiis trifasciatus; spiri striatd, anfractibus subexcavatis 
(f. 573).—Of the typical form of C. tertile, but finely striated 
and more solid. The colouring is also different. 


366. victort®, Reeve.—C. tenuis, subinflatus, tenuiter trans- 
verse striatus, ceruleo nebulosus, fusco-rubescente reticulatus, 
maculis magnis aurantiis fusco-virgatis marginatis seriatim pictus ;

shell, distinguishable at a glance from all the preceding species of 
the same group. 


367. reLATUS, Reeve.—C. oblongus, subfusiformis, angulatus, 
lateribus rectiusculis ; fulvo tenuiter angulatim reticulatus, macu- 
lis magnis aurantiis, fusco-rubescente strigatus, laté bifasciatus ; 
spird pyramidali, acuta; anfractibus depressiusculis (f. 584).—A 


48 


very rare shell, approaching C. gloria-maris rather than C. textile 
in form, and in the light sandy character of its reticulation. It is 
much shorter, however, and has two broad bands of orange patches. 


368. GrortA-maRis, Chemn.—C. tenuis, elongato-fusiformis, 
minutissimé fulvo reticulatus, maculis angustis rubro-strigatis 
fasciatim ornatus; spiri elevatd, leviter gradaté (f. 586).—Hle- 
gantly fusiform and delicately reticulated, this shell is not only 
one of the rarest but also one of the most beautiful of Cones. 


369. rETIFER, MJenke.—C. solidus, brevis, obtusus, roseus, 
fasciis aurantiis longitudinalibus et transversis rubro-nigrescente 
strigatis ornatus, interstitiis rubro reticulatis; spird pyramidal, 
anfractu ultimo rotundato (f. 580).—A short, thick, solid shell, 
richly coloured. 


370. Luctpus, Jawe.—C. subcylindricus, solidus, obtusus, in- 
fra sulcatus, transversé rubro lineatus, interstitiis longitudinaliter 
divisis; maculis nigrescentibus et albis triseriatim ornatus; spira

(f. 581).—Distinguished by the regular red lines across the shell. 


371. Mapacascariensis, Sows.—C. subventricosus, oblongus, 
levis, lineis rubris minuté reticulatus; maculis magnis albo fusco- 
que articulato-lineatis bifasciatim ornatus; spird brevi, angulata ; 
anfractibus depressiusculis, apice acuto (f. 583).—The markings 
resemble those of C. omaria, but it is a short shell, with sharp 
apex. 


372. pratatus, Brug.—C. oblongus, obtusus, levis, roseus, 
ceruleo partim suffusus, ineequaliter reticulato-maculatus, macu- 
lis albis uno latere subczeruleis ornatus; spird brevi, obtusa (f. 585). 
The white and pink spots are shaded with blue. 


373. Evizm, Kien.—C. solidus, subturbinatus, castaneus, ni- 
gro alboque articulatim lineatus, maculis albis cordiformibus et 
Ineis reticulatis fasciatim variegatus ; spird obtus4; anfractu ulti- 
mo rotundato, convexo (f. 578).—In the specimen originally de- 
scribed, the brown colour occupies a larger proportionate space 
than in the specimen represented. Like C. episcopus and others, 
the species has a very thick brown spire. 


374. Cotusrinus, Lamk.—C. solidus, subcylindricus, castaneus, 
maculis albis longitudinalibus irregulariter ornatus ; spiri obtusa, 
angulo rotundato (f. 587).—Another obtusely spired solid shell, 
marked with irregular oblong white spots, longitudinally arranged 
on a dark-brown ground. 


44 


375. ruprainosus, Lamk.—C. C. Coluébrino similis, sed maculis 
albis minoribus, numerosis, interstitiis articulato-lineatis (f. 590). 
—Although the spots are smaller, and the interstices marked with 
articulated lines, | doubt the propriety of separating this from the 
preceding. 

376. crocatus, Lamk.—C. oblongus, transverse leviter striatus, 
supra convexus, medio subcontractus, infra subattenuatus ; auran- 
tius, albo sparsim maculatus (f. 588, 589).—In one variety the 
white is more plentiful, but the species is not difficult to identify. 


377. pEeNNAcEUS, Lamk.—C. solidus, subcylindricus, albus vel 
roseus, rubro reticulatus, maculis aurantiis rubro alboque articula- 
tis pictus, prope angulum convexus, infra liratus ; spird brevi,

able species. 


378. wptscorus, Lamk.—C. elongatus, cylindricus, maculis 
magnis fluctuatis pictus; interstitiis laté reticulatis; spira brevi, 
obtusissima (f. 596-598).—More lengthened and cylindrical than 
C. pennaceus, with large, fluctuating, dark, reddish-brown patches, 
which are not marked with articulated lines, and the interstices 
reticulated with large meshes. 


379. omarta, Brug.—C. elongatus, cylindricus, tenuiter stria- 
tus, lineis rubescentibus minute reticulatus, maculis magmis arti- 
culato-lineatis latis fuscis bifasciatus ; spiri brevi ; apice subacuto, 
roseo (f. 594, 595).—The markings are finer than in C. penna- 
ceus, the shape more lengthened and cylindrical. 


380. convoLutus, Sowb.—C. quam C. omaria magis angusta- 
tus; spiri elevaté, acuminat&i; roseus, minute et tenuiter roseus, 
fauce pallidé aurantius (f. 564).—This very distinct species has 
an affinity with C. omaria, but it has an elevated sharp spire, and 
is narrower, the whorls being as it were more closely rolled up. 
I venture to draw from Mr. Cuming’s specimen, and colour from 
that of Mrs. Deburgh. 


381. avuxicus, Linn.—C. cylindricus, subventricosus, leviter 
striatus, albus, areis magnis castaneis irregulariter angulatis pictus ; 
interstitiis angulatim lineatis; spiré pyramidali (f. 593).

aureo aut roseo tinctus ; maculis plus minusve punctisa lbis linea- 
tis (f. 591).—Of a more narrowed cylindrical form than C. audi- 
cus, with rows of small white specks on the brown marks. The 
golden-tinted var. (not figured) is the most common. 


45 


383. maoniricus, Reeve.—C. C. aurato similis, sed brevior, 
magis solidus, supra magis convexus; spird obtusd (f. 592).— 
Shorter, thicker, and more convex at the upper part of the body- 
whorl than C. auratus, of which it is perhaps a variety.

versé striatus, fasciis longitudinalibus magnis aurantiis lineis ru- 
bris nigrescentibus strigatis pictus, interstitiis tenuiter reticulatus ;

fasciis latis fuscis pictus (f. 561).—Like C. aureus, but with close 
reticulations and cross-bands of brown.

whorls. 


387. nussaTeLLa, Zinn.—C. angustatus, cylindricus, striatus, 
lineatim punctatus, fusco seu aurantio maculatus et fasciatus 
(f. 553, 554).—I feel almost tempted to distinguish the latter as 
a species. 

388. TENELLUS, Chemn.—C. quam C. nussatel/a magis angu- 
latus, lateribus rectiusculis ; spird brevi, obtusi; anfractibus pau- 
lulum undulatis ; striis minuté punctatis (f. 566).—Straighter than 
C. nussatella, with the upper part of the whorl more angular, and 
the spire short and obtuse ; the sculpture and colouring are finer. 
Tt has been thrice named, 

389. pacryLosus, Kier.—C. elongato-cylindricus, levis, auran- 
tius, maculis parvis trigonis albis sparsim ornatus ; spira prominula, 
lateribus convexis, apice acuto, anfractu ultimo angulato (f. 536). 
—A very characteristic species.

tinguished by the beautiful colour, and the white band in the centre 
bordered by black markings.

verse liratus ; liris subgranulosis, infra duplicatis ; coccineus, medio 
fascia albé fusco-maculatai cinctus; spird alba, fusco maculata ;

by granulated ridges, and quite unlike any other species. The 
white variety (C. verulosus, Kien.) is figured from Miss Saul’s 
specimen. 


393. cyLinpRraceus, Brod.—C. cylindricus, angustus, levis, 
aurantius vel fuscus, strigis interruptis fluctuatis longitudinalibus 
ornatus ; spira elongati, obtus4; anfractibus rectis (f. 527, 528). 
—In this species the spire is drawn out, so as to reach a third of 
the entire length. 


394. TEREBELLUM, Mart.—C. elongatus, cylindricus, solidus, 
ineequaliter liratus, supra convexus, infra subattenuatus, pallidus, 
fulvo pallidé fasciatus, exruleo tinctus; spird valdé convex4 (f. 
559).—Transversely ridged, swelled near the angle of the spire, 
which is very convex. 


395. cians, Brug.—C. cylindricus, granoso-liratus, purpureo

MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


ANCILLARIA, Lamb. 


Char. Gen. Testa polita, ovata vel oblonga, ad basin balteo in- 
crassato marginata; supra balteum suturd nonnunquam celata, 
plerumque ad terminum dentiferd cincta; spird pyramidali, su- 
turd tegmine calloso, polito celaté; columella varice calloso, 
plerumque striato, ad basin terminante; apertura magna, anticé 
effusi, plerumque unidentata, ad basin emarginatd; operculo 
corneo, concentrico, subovali. 

Although Lamarck first published this genus under the name 
of “ Ancitua,” I cannot admit the justice or convenience of re- 
fusing to adopt the alteration which he subsequently made. That 
alteration appeared in all his more matured works, and has been 
almost universally adopted. The species have increased in num- 
ber from four described in the ‘ Animaux sans Vertébres,’ to 
forty-four contained in the present monograph. This includes 
“ Buccinum glabratum” of Linneus, which is unfortunately 
placed at the head of Lamarck’s genus “ Hburna,’ but which 
has no connection with the other species enumerated under that 
title. It is admitted here, with two allied species, by general 
consent, the most advanced of modern conchologists making 
only a subgenus of the group. The Ancillarie are polished, 
olive-shaped shells, with the spiral suture covered by a coating of 
enamel, having an oblique, thickened belt at the base, which is 
sometimes double ; above this belt is a suture, generally ending 
in a tooth near the base of the outer lip, but which is some- 
times covered and hidden by enamel, and a tortuous triangular 
varix at the lower part of the columella. The operculum is 
horny, oval, and concentric. The species may be thus arranged : 
—Section I., Sp. 1 to 21, in which the spire-covering enamel 
is continued downwards as far as, and sometimes over, the basal 
suture. Section IL., Sp. 22 to 41, in which the said enamel 

VOL. Ul. r 


58 ANCILLARIA. 2. 


ceases at various distances above that suture, in most cases form- 
ing a marginal band on the upper part of the last whorl.  Sec- 
tion THES Sp. 42 to 44, A. glabrata and its two allied species, 
which, agreeing with the last group as to the enamel, present. the 
pauitianal characters of a divided varix, and an oblique umbilicus 
between the body-whorl and the columellar callus. 

Subg. Dipsaceus, Klein. 


Sect. I. Spire-covering enamel extended over the body-whort. 


1. torosa, Meusch.—Mauritiana, Sowb. Sp. Con.—A. subcy- 
lindrica, longitudinaliter striata, castanea, seu pallide fulva, seu 
alba; spird brevi; anfractibus subquadratis, balteo inferiori sim- 
plice ; aperturdé magnd, ad basin lati, vix emarginati; varice 
albo, leviter striato, elongato (f. 30, 31, 32)—This now well- 
known species is remarkable for the width and length of the 
aperture in proportion to its very short spire. The three varie- 
ties are common in collections. 


2. aperta, Sowd. Sp. Con.—A. subcylindrica, levis, aurantio- 
rubra; spird brevissim&; anfractibus rotundis, balteo inferiori 
simplice ; apertura magna, ad basin vix emarginata; varice albo, 
leviter striato, elongato (f. 27, 28).—This species, which differs 
from A. Mauritiana in being smooth and having rounded whorls, 
is very rare. [ am indebted to the kindness of Mrs. De Burgh 
for the use of the beautiful specimen figured. 


3. scapHELLA, Sows. Th.—A. cylindrica, alba; spira brevi ; 
aperturi magna, ad basin vix emarginatd; varice levi, elongato, 
balteo inferiori vix distincto; suturd inferiori elevatd (f. 37, 38). 
—Resembling the two preceding in form, but more cylindrical, 
white, and smooth. The basal suture, which is obsolete in 
Sp. 1 and 2, is here distinct, giving an angularity to the lines of 
growth, and ending in a scarcely perceptible projection. Unique 
as far as known. 


4, cytinprica, Sow). Th.—A. cylindrica, parva, alba, 4. sca- 
phelle similis, sed magis augustata et recta (f. 18, 19).—A small 
white shell, more cylindrical, straight, and narrow than A. sca- 
phella. Unique as far as known. 


5. Tronsoni, Sows. Th.— A. subovalis, politissima, alba ; 
spird brevi; apertura elongata; suturd inferior subcallosa, balteo 
inferiori simplice ; varice brevi, striato, canali post varicem posi- 
to (f. 20, 21).—Having something of the form of A. scaphella, 


ANCILLARIA. 3. 59 


yet approaching 4. ampla, with a much shorter varix than either. 
Unique as far as known. 


6. ampta, Gmel.—candida, Lamk.—A. elongata, alba seu 
pallidé cinnamomea; spird acuminati; apertura ad basin lata, 
effusi; suturd inferiori dentifer’, balteo inferiori simplice ; varice 
elongato, obliqué striato (f. 26, 29).—With a more produced 
spire than either of the preceding, but with the aperture wide at 
the base. Both varieties common. 


7. atBisuLcata, Sowd. Sp.—Caffra, Horsch. ?—A. oblonga, 
cinnamomea, ad spiram lineis albis cincta; spiri brevi, etate 
yaldé calloso-rotundataé ; suturdi inferiori dentiferd, albo margina- 
ti, balteo imferiori simplice; varice tortuoso, sulcato (f. 39, 40, 
41).—The spire is sometimes rendered obtuse and rounded by a 
thick deposit of enamel. The spiral and basal sutures are white. 
Common. 


8. crinnamomeEa, Lamk.—A. oblonga, castanea seu pallidé cin- 
namomea, supra albo-fasciati; spiri subproductd, ad suturam 
rufo-cincté ; aperturé oblonga, infra unidentata, effusi, ad basin 
emarginaté ; suturd inferior’ alb&; varice columellari tortuoso, 
crasso, striato, fulvo (f. 33, 34, 35).—This shell, to which Mr. 
Swainson applied the name A. effusa, and which is figured under 
that name in the ‘Species Conchyliorum,’ seems to me to agree 
perfectly well with Lamarck’s description of cinnamomea, the 
brown varix mentioned by Lamarck not beimg found in the shells 
figured for 4. cinnamomea in the “ Species.” 


9, atBorascrata, Swains.—A. oblonga, ventricosa, A. cinna- 
mome@ similis sed fulvo-aurantia, magis ventricosa; varice albo (f. 
36).—The A. cinnamomea is more straight-sided than this species, 
which is of a light orange-colour, and has a white varix. It is 
not without hesitation, however, that I admit the specific value of 
these distinctions. 


10. acuminata, Sows. Th.—A. elongata, cimmamomea seu alba, 
intis pallide fulva ; spira exserté, acuminata ; suturd callos4; ulti- 
mo anfractu subangulato; suturd inferior’ alba, balteo inferiori 
simplice, castaneo; varice crasso, tortuoso, striato ; aperturd ob- 
longa, infra unidentat!i (f. 66, 67).—An angle in the last. whorl 
gives a pyramidal form to the spire, which is also characterized 
by a slight rising round the whorls at the suture. The sides of 
the shell are rather straight. In other respects it is like the 
more acuminated specimens of A. albisulcata. 


60 ANCILLARIA. 4. 


11. Desnayrsu, 4. Adams ?— A. elongata, sub-ventricosa, 
pallidé cinnamomea ; spira exserta, acuminata ; anfractibus rotun- 
datis ; varice albo, levi, brevi; apertura oblonga, anticé leviter 
unidentata (f. 68, 69).—Of a uniform pale cinnamon-colour, re- 
sembling Sp. 10, but with more produced spire, rounded whorls, 
and depressed suture. It is also less straight-sided. I find the 
species named as above in Mr. Cuming’s collection, probably by 
Mr. A. Adams. 


12. tivgoxata, A. Adams.—A. parva, oblonga, pallidé fulva, 
longitudinaliter lineata, ad suturas albo-cincta; apertura elonga- 
ta, anticé unidentatd ; varice columellari parvo, striato (f. 22, 23). 
—It is like a miniature representation of A. albisulcata, but be- 
sides being a thin shell with more produced spire, it has a very 
small narrow columellar varix. 


13. srriotata, Sows. Th.—A. parva, A. lineolate similis, sed 
magis ventricosa ; spird breviusculd ; test& minute lineata ; varice 
parvo (f. 24, 25).—This species might be a dwarf, pale, and line- 
ated variety of A. albisulcata, but for the smallness of its varix. 
It is more obtuse, solid, and ventricose than A. dineolata. The 
fine longitudinal lines are not always visible. 


14. casranna, Sowd, Sp.—aA. solida, ventricosa, castanea, alba 
seu pallidé rosea, intis fulva; spird pyramidali, mediocri; aper- 
turi ampla, anticé unidentatd; varice columellari albo, polito, 
leviter sulcato ; balteo inferiori simplice (f. 76 to 79).—Mr. Swain- 
son considered this shell as representing Lamarck’s A. ventricosa, 
but the author of ‘Species Conchyliorum’ points out that no 
tooth in the outer lip is mentioned in the description of that spe- 
cies, while it is a distinguishing character in this. Our varieties 
(f. 77, 78) are so much more angular in general form than the 
others, that I felt almost inclined to separate them. 


15. crassa, Sowb. Th.—A. aurantia, seu albido, A. castanee 
similis, sed crassa; apertura breviori, area inter balteum inferi- 
orem et suturam dentiferam angustiori (f. 86, 90, 91).—Best 
described by comparison with 4. castanea; it is thicker and 
smaller, with shorter aperture. The area between the basal groove 
and the basal belt is very narrow. 


16. ovatis, Sows. Th.—A. ovalis, alba, ventricosa; spird pro- 
duct ; apertura breviusculf, anticé unidentata ; varice columellari 
parvo, sulcato, balteo inferiori indistincto (f. 82, 83).—A small, 
white, ventricose shell, resembling A. castanea, but with much 
shorter mouth and very small varix, the basal belt indistinct. 


ANCILLARIA. 5. 61 


17. EpurNEA? Desh.—A. parva, pallida; spiri acuminata, py- 
ramidali; apertura anticé unidentatd; varice columellari minuto, 
canali valido post varicem posito (f. 84, 85).—It is like the more 
angular form of A. castanea, but the colour and small size of the 
full-grown shell, with the extreme smallness of the varix, will 
sufficiently distinguish it. I am not certain of the identity of this 
species with the one so named by Deshayes, but it is partly cor- 
roborated by a little callus which is observable at the angle of the 
aperture. 


18. ventricosa, Lamk.—A. ovalis, ventricosa, politissima, 
castanea, seu aurantia, seu rubro fasciata ; spiri acuminata, sub- 
producté; sutura inferiori celati, balteo inferiori simplice ; aper- 
turd subovali, edentula ; varice albo, polito, sulcato (f. 87, 88, 59). 
—This species resembles the more oval form of A. castanea, the 
difference being that the basal groove is covered by the enamel, 
and becomes obsolete at the margin of the aperture, so that there 
is no tooth. One of the commonest species, 


19. Futva, Swains.—A crassa, ovali, infra lata, fulva seu alba, 
seu fasciis pallidis roseis albis et fulvis variegata ; sutura inferiori 
celaté; apertura infra effusd, edentuld; varice crasso, sulcato (f. 
72 to 75).—Much more thickened and oblique than 4. ventri- 
cosa, with the lower part peculiarly widened and the aperture sub- 
trigonal. Rather common. 


20. varteGaTa, Swains.—A. latior quam A. ventricosa, magis 
cylindrica et solida, pallidé fulva, fasciis albis et roseis variegata 
(f. 70, 71).—This species and the preceding are admitted as va- 
rieties of A. ventricosa in the ‘Species Conchyliorum;’ but I think 
the broad base of 4. fu/va, and the wider and more cylindrical 
form of A. variegata, being constant characters, are sufficient to 
distinguish them. 


21. exiaua, Sowd. Sp.—A. parva, alba seu pallidé fulva, ovalis ; 
spira producta, acuté; apertura parva, edentula, infra effusd ; co- 
lumella varice parvo, trigono, striato et prope angulum aperture 
callo acuté producto; suturad inferiori celata (f. 80, 81).—This 
pretty little species is remarkable for a notch in the columella, 
produced by the projection of an angular callosity, which is not 
observed in any other species. 


Sect. Il. Spire-covering enamel not reaching the basal suture. 


22. TankeRvILu, Swains.—A. ovali-elongata, aurantio-flavida ; 


62 ANCILLARIA. 6. 


spird producti; anfractibus supri rotundis, sutura varice spirali 
tecta, tegmine calloso versus suturam fnieecen extenso, suturam 
gradatim appropinquante, balteo inferiori medio diviso ; varice co- 
Jumellari trigono, oblique uni-suleato ; apertura subovali, infra 
validé emarginati, labio externo unidentifero (f. 4, 5). "—'The 
texture and colour of this species resembles that of the beautiful 
A. glabrata. 'The spire-covering enamel reaches over two-thirds 
of the body-whorl in front, whence it gradually widens and de- 
scends very near the inferior suture, towards the outer margin, 
so that the uncovered bell becomes narrower as the shell grows 
older. 


23. pimrprata, Sows. Th.—A. tenuis, elongata, alba, fulvo 
supra suturam tincta; spird elevati; anfractibus subrotundis ; 
tegmine calloso, ad medium anfractu ultimo producto, balteo in- 
feriori duplicato, labio externo unidentato ; varice elongato, an- 
gustato, sulcato (f. 55, 56).—This thin, pale species presents a 
medium in respect of the extension of the spire-covering enamel, 
which reaches nearly halfway down on the body-whorl. The two 
specimens in Mr. Cuming’s collection are the only ones I have 
seen. 


24. BLoNGATA, Gray.—A. tenuis, elongata, alba, tenuissimé 
cancellata ; anfractibus tegmine spirali late marginatis ; ; spira elon- 
gata, gradata, spiraliter rata; suturd inferiori pené oblita, balteo 
inferior] medio divisi; varice columellari lneari; aperturd ampla, 
basi emarginata, labio externo vix unidentato (f. 52, 53).—This 
thin, white, elongated shell has the spiral enamel forming a broad 
band over the upper part of the whorls. The uncovered surface is 
finely striated in both directions. 


25. cinauLaTa.—A. tenuis, ovalis, supra purpurea, infra fulva; 
fascié fuscd ; spird elongati, obtusd; anfractibus ventricosis, balteo 
albo angusto marginatis, lined elevaté supra suturam cinctis; bal- 
teo inferior! supra fusco, infra albo, medio lined elevati diviso ; 
varice columellari tortuoso; apertura ampla, infra validé emarginata. 
—In this elegant species there is no trace of the basal tooth- 
bearing groove. A specimen has lately come into the possession 
of M. Vernéde which is twice the size of our figure, so that, with 
the splendid “ Vernede?,” that gentleman has the two largest An- 
cillari@ in existence. 


26. oprusa, Swaims.—A. ovata; spird brevi, obtusa, crassa 
obtect’; ultimo anfractu tegmine spirali marginato; infra lined 
impress, alba, balteo inferiori duplicato, varice columellari trigono, 
albo, unisuleato ; aperturi ovali, mfr’ emarginatd; labio externo 


ANCILLARIA. 7. 63 


infra uniplicato (f. 15, 16).—The spire is thickened and rendered 
obtuse by a thick coating of enamel, ending in a narrow belt over 
the last whorl. 


27. austraLts, Sowb.—A. oblonga, solida, fusca seu plumbea ; 
spira pyramidali, obtecta, albo et fulvo spiraliter fasciata ; tegmine 
incrassato super ¢ ‘anfractum ultimum albo- marginato ; sutura infe- 
riori distineta ; balteo inferiori crasso triplicato, supra fusco, infra 
albescente; aperturd subovali, emarginati, labio externo uniden- 
tato; varice columellari sulcato, ad tegmen crassum laté super an- 
fractum ultimum depositum juncto (f. 1, 2).—Over the dark- 
brown colour of the body-whorl there is a leaden whiteness almost 
peculiar to the species. The columellar side of the mouth has a 
thickened callus, which spreads over part of the whorl and spine. 


28. pupressa, Sowd. Th.—A. A. australi simili, sed spird magis 
depress’, tegmine calloso valdé incrassato (f. 3).—The spire 1s 
shorter than in A. australis, and the thickened callus of the co- 
lumella and spire gives greater width to the top. I am neverthe- 
less doubtful whether it is right to separate the species. 


29. TRIcoLoR, Gray.—A. minuta, ovalis, acuta, A. australi 
similis, sed magis angusta, tenuior ; spird vix obtecta (f. 9, 10).— 
These pretty little shells may possibly be the young of A. australis. 
In specimens of that species which are not much thickened by 
callus, we observe the reddish-brown and white bands on the 
spire, which are so conspicuous in A. tricolor. 


30. mucronata, Sow). Sp.—A. ovali-oblonga, pallidé brun- 
nea; spiri tegmine fulvo incrassaté, apice mucronata, ultimo an- 
fractu supra tegmine marginato, infra balteis duobus cincto ; balteo 
superiori medio cortato, inferiore albo; varice columellari trigono, 
albo, sulcato; aperturaé unidentatd (f. 11, 12, 14).—A species 
whose characters place it halfway between 4. australis and A. ru- 
biginosa. The spire is thickened with callus, but has a small point 
at the apex. 


31. ANGUSTATA, Sowb. Th.—A. A. mucronate similis, sed parva, 
angustata; spird obtus4 (f. 13).—Had this been an Australian in- 
stead of a Chinese shell, I should have considered the absence of 
a pointed apex, and the greater narrowness of the figure, as mere 
accidental variations in the preceding species. 


32. VeERNEDEL, Sows. Th.—A. fusiformis, ventricosa, aurantio- 
fulva; spird elongata, acuminata, gradati; anfractibus balteo 
calloso aurantio marginatis, infra sulcum inferiorem fascid alba ; 
balteis inferioribus duobus, uno aurantio in medio plicato, altero

albo ; aperturi ampla, supra rosed, infra alba, unidentata, emar- 
ginat’; varice columellari obliqué trigono, ad basin truncato, su- 
perné unisulcato (f. 7).—This Queen of Ancillaria is nearly twice 
as long as any other species. Two specimens of it have been 
many years in the possession of H. Vernéde, Esq., who originally 
received them as Chinese shells. The nearest resemblance in 
form and structure is 4. rubiginosa, which, although a large An- 
cillaria, is small, compared to these giants. 4. Vernedei is much 
lighter. It is of an orange-yellow colour, instead of brown ; it 
has no columellar callus, and is not thickened at the spire; its 
varix is thin, and comparatively smooth and flat. 


33. ruBIGINosA, Swain.—A. fusiformis, solida, subventricosa, 
fusco-rubiginosa; spird oblonga, obtusi, tegmine calloso obtecta, 
incrassatd, anfractibus balteo aurantio-fulvo marginatis, infra su- 
turam inferiorem balteo medio plicato, et infra balteo simplice ; 
columella callosi, supri incrassati et expansi; varice crasso, 
albo, unisuleato; apertura unidentata (f. 6).—A solid, fusiform, 
reddish-brown shell, with marginated whorls and thickened spire. 
From China; very rare. 


34. mami“tata, Hinds—A. A. rubiginose similis, sed an- 
fractu ultimo magis ventricoso, callo spire et columell albo- 
roseo; varice quadriplicato; spird spiraliter lirata (f. 8).—The 
columellar callus and that which covers the spire is of a pale pink 
colour and waxy appearance. ‘The last whorl is more prominent 
at the shoulder than in A. rudiginosa, and the varix has several 
distinct ridges. 


35. srurtis, Sows. Th.—A. ovato-oblonga, alba; spira et co- 
lumella callosis, fusco tinctis; spird producté; anfractu ultimo 
marginato, infra suturam inferiorem balteis tribus, quorum medio 
acuté elevato; apertura elongata, supra angulata, infra uniden- 
tata, basi emaginata; varice angusto, obliqué triplicato (f. 17).— 
In A. rubiginosa the aperture is very little longer than the spire ; 
in this it occupies two-thirds of the length. The lower part of 
the body-whorl has three belts, the middle one being elevated 
into a sharp ridge at the back. The shape of the aperture is 
different, being angulated above ; I cannot, therefore, admit this 
as a variety of the preceding species. 


36. marcinata, Lamk.—A. ovalis, pallida; spira pyramidali, 
spiraliter liraté; anfractibus ventricosis, balteo seu albo, seu 
fusco variegato, marginatis; ultimo anfractu infra suturam 1n- 
feriorem balteis duobus crassis; varice rotundato, brevi, oblique 


ANCILLARIA. 9, 65 


quadriplicata; labio externo uniplicato, infrd profundé emarginato 
(f. 46, 47).—Of an oval form, with a distinct band on the whorls, 
typically variegated, but sometimes white. On each whorl of the 
spire are several ridges. The spire and mouth nearly equal in 
length. 


37. Stnensis, Sowb. Th.—A. alba, parva, A. marginate si- 
milis, sed magis angustata, varice angustiori et magis obliqua (f. 
50, 51).—A small white shell, resembling 4. marginata, but 
much narrower, and with the varix narrower and more obliquely 
plicated. 


38. oBLONGA, Sowb. Sp.—A. ovalis, elongata, A. marginate 
similis, sed anfractibus rectiusculis; ultimo anfractu et balteis 
inferioribus variegatis ; varice parvo, triangulari; spird levigata, 
pyramidali (f. 42, 43).—The shape is narrower, the aperture 
wider at the base, the spire more pyramidal, and the varix much 
smaller than in 4. marginata, and besides, it has no ribs on the 
spire. If, as I suppose, this is the true A. oblonga of the Sp. 
Conch., it is more distinct from A. marginata than the fol- 
lowing. 

39. tineatTA, Kien.—A. A. marginate similis, sed magis elon- 
gata; spird pyramidali, levigati; anfractu ultimo lineatim va- 
riegato ; varice parvo (f. 57, 58).—More like 4. marginata than 
the preceding, but much narrower, with a smaller varix, and 
without the spiral ridges. It ditlers from 4. oblonga in not 
having the aperture so wide at the base. 


40. Nova-Zeranpi1a, Sow). Th.—A. parva, alba, A. marginate 
similis, sed magis angusta ; spird levigatd, pyramidali; apertura 
brevi (f. 48, 49).—Like 4. ineata and A. oblonga, it differs 
from A. marginata in having no ridges on the spire; from A. 
lineata, which it otherwise most nearly resembles, in the short- 
ness of the aperture. 


41. opnsa, Sowd. Th.—A. ovalis, ventricosa, pallida, fusco va- 
riegata, medio fusco unifasciata; spird brevi, pyramidali; anfrac- 
tibus marginatis; apertura magna, unidentati; varice parvo, 
albo (f. 44, 45).—More obese than A. oblonga, with a shorter 
spire. The middle of the body-whorl has a broad brown band, 
above and below which are rows of brown spots; the margination 
is also variegated.

Sect. III. The columellar callus separated from the body-whort, 
leaving an umbilicus behind tt. 


42. auasrava, Linn. (Buccinum).—A. fusiformis, polita, au- 
rantio-flavida; spira acuminata; anfractibus gradatis; tegmine 
calloso tenuiter prope suturam inferiorem extenso, infra suturam 
fascid impressi alba; balteis inferioribus duobus, planis, subs- 
qualibus; columella callosi, superné incrassaté, super anfractum 
ultimum expansi, medio profundé et oblique umbilicata, infra ob- 
liqué costa elongata, post varicem posita; varice trigono, sub- 
planato ; apertura infra laté emarginata, unidentata (f. 62, 63).— 
In this beautiful, although now common shell, the spiral enamel 
is spread downwards to within a line’s breath of the lower suture. 
A white dwarf variety is not uncommon. 


43. BauTEaTA, Swains.—A. ovalis, alba seu aurantia; spird 
obtusi, callo incrassati; anfractibus paucis, supra angulatim va- 
ricosis; tegmine spirali infra medium extenso; balteis inferioribus 
crassis, vix distinctis ; costA post varicem brevi; umbilico parvo, 
haud profundo (f. 59-61).—A sort of rib or shoulder gives an- 
gularity to the whorls of this species ; and the enamel does not 
descend so near to the suture as in A. glabrata. The species is 
distinguished by Mr. Swainson, and in the ‘Species Conchyliorum,’ 
principally by the narrowness and want of depth in the umbi- 
licus. In the younger specimen it is wanting altogether ; and 
my own impression is that the umbilicus increases in depth with 
the age of the individual, 


44. nivpa, Swains.—A. ovalis, alba seu aurantia; spird ob- 
tusi, callo incrassatd ; anfractibus paucis, supra angulatim varico- 
sis; tegmine spirali infra medium extenso, gradatim expanso ; 
balteis inferioribus crassis, vix distinctis; cost& post varicem 
brevi; umbilico magno, profundo (f. 64, 65).-—The band left un- 
covered by the descending enamel becomes narrower towards the 
outer margin. The umbilicus is deep.

Authors having generally agreed to remove from this genus 
the Buccinum glabratum of Linneeus, which is an Ancil/aria, and 
the Monoceros plumbewm of Chemnitz, and Hburna australis of 
Sowerby, which belong to Psewdoliva, the remaining species form 
a very compact and well-defined genus.

sulco ad terminum vix dentifero incisa; apertura ovali, posticé 
canalifera, anticé emarginata; labio interno plerumque incrassato, 
operculum corneum, nucleo laterali. 

The following species present a pretty natural group of Buc- 
cinoid shells, which have a groove encircling the lower part of the 
whorls, and generally terminating at the edge of the outer lip in 
a sort of obtuse tooth. A canal is formed at the upper angle of 
the aperture by the swelling of the outer lip, and a kind of callus 
on the columella, and the anterior part of the aperture is, in 
nearly all the species, deeply notched. The columellar lip is 
thickened over the body-whorl. Operculum horny, with lateral 
nucleus.

epidermide subviridi induta; spira brevi, sutura canaliculata ; aper- 
turaé magna, labio externo validé unidentato, ad basin profundé 
emarginato; labio interno levi, lato, posticé calloso.—This well- 
known smooth oval shell was placed by my late father in the genus 
Hburna, with which it has some affinity, but the groove at the 
lower part of the last whorl will distinguish it, and the genus 
Eburna is better without it.

the general similarity in form, and the deep fosse of the suture, 
M. Deshayes conjectures that this species is identical with Can- 
cellaria spirata of Lamarck, and accuses me of having figured 
the same shell in two characters, putting columellar folds when t 
wanted it for a Cancellaria, and leaving them out for the Lburna. 
It is impossible that M. Deshayes can have seen the two shells, 
which are generically and specifically quite distinct. 


3. ZEBRINA (pl. cexvi. f. 13, 14), 4. Adams, Pro. Zool. Soc.

ducto,—A triangular hole is produced at the upper angle of the 
mouth by the meeting of a kind of fold or rib in the outer lip, 
and a stronger one on the inner lip. Of a dull grey colour 
generally ; the shell is ornamented by a deep chestnut-brown 
margin to the columella, and a tint of the same colour in the

My late father suggested the true position of this genus long 
before the discovery of the animal made it certain. Mr, Adams 
has figured and described the animal in the ‘Voyage of the Sama- 
rang,’ and very properly places it among the Strombide.

These pretty little shells are like Marginel/e in form, but their 
essential characters indicate an animal of the family of Cypreide. 
They have not regular plicee on the columella as in Warginella, 
although the columellar lip is slightly thickened and crenated ; the 
outer lip is inflected, thickened, and crenated.

Mr. Adams, in describmg this genus under the name of 
Hindsia, has the following observations :—“ This genus partakes 
of the characters of several recognized forms. Its animal, how- 
ever, differs from that of Triton in the approximated tentacles, 
with the eyes near their end, and the anteriorly produced foot ; 
from that of Nassa in the tail not being bifurcated; and from 
Phos in the absence of the long, single caudal filament. 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 Zriton from its want of regular varices.”

MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


DENTALIUM. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum corpore oblongo, testi elongati, tubu- 
losi, conicd, arcuati, ad apicem perforati; apertura circular, 
simplici; operculo nullo. 

The shells of this genus are regularly conical curved tubes, open 
at the apex, circular at the basal aperture. The worm-cases which 
have the generic name Ditrupa, and which, of course, are not in- 
cluded in this monograph, are distinguished from Dentalium by 
being swelled and contracted near the aperture, instead of being 
gradually conical. 

Many species of Dentalium have a fissure at the dorsal edge 
of the apical perforation. This being a somewhat irregular cha- 
racter, even in individuals of the same species, and the fissure not 
being formed in the growth of the shells, as in Emarginula, but 
merely by subsequent “absorption or wearing, I cannot see in it a 
sufficient indication of organic difference to justify the proposed 
separation of the fissured species under the generic name “ AN- 
TALIS.” 


1. D. entare, Dinn., f. 50, 51. 52.—Testa levi, solidd, alba, 
versus apicem rapidé crescenti et arcuati, deinde rectiusculd et 
magis cylindricd; fissurd parva. —White, smooth, solid, at first 
acuminated and curved ; afterwards cylindrical and nearly straight. 
Fissure only seen in young specimens. 


2. D. preriosum, Nuttall, f. 57.—Testa D. entali simillima, 
sed angustiore, versus apicem haud tantiim arcuaté.—Less curved 
and tapering near the apex than D. enfale, and altogether more 
cylindrical. The distinctness of the species is doubtful. 


3. D. tupricatum, Sows. Th. , f. 56.—Testa politi, elongata, 
alba, subpellucida, leviter arcuata, vix fissurata, gradatim crescente. 
—Certainly a narrower shell, less solid, andof more gradual increase 
than either of the preceding.

98 DENTALIUM. 


4. D. ruspuscens, Desh., f. 89.—Testa levi, rubescente, fasciis 
rubris transversis variegati, gradatim crescente, leviter arcuatd, vix 
fissurati.—A smooth: shell, of rather interrupted growth, of a red 
colour, with darkish bands. 


5. D. nesutosum, Desh., f. 58.—Testa politd, angusta, tenui, 
alba, fasciis acuté angulatis pellucidis versus. apicem variegata ; 
fissurd apicali lateralii—Besides the zigzag pellucid markings 
near the small end of the shell, M. Deshayes has pointed out 
that the fissure is not dorsal, but lateral, in position. This, how- 
ever, is possibly accidental. 


6. D. nacrrum, Desh., f. 48.—Testa levi, polita, tenui, lacted, 
angusta, apice integro—Smooth, thin, narrow, and milky-white. 
No fissure. 


7. D. rranstucipum, Desh., f. 47.—Testd hyalina, subaureo- 
flavescente, polita, tenui, subcylindrici, leviter arcuat4, apice ob- 
tuso; fissura plus minusve elongat’.—Of a transparent amber-co- 
lour. The slit, which is a mere linear crack, is in some istances 
lengthened indefinitely. 


8. D. sptenpipum, Sowd., f. 41.—Testi polita, versus apicem 
attenuata, carned, deinde lactea, ad apicem fissuris duabus, altera 
dorsali, alter’ ventraliimGenerally reddish near the apex and white 
towards the base. In some specimens there are two fissures, one 
dorsal and the other ventral. 


9. D. rissura, Lamh., f. 43.—Testa polita, rubescente vel fla- 
vida, gracili, subpellucida ; fissurd dorsali nonnunquam elongata, 
nomnunquam fissurd brevi ventralii—This shell agrees better with 
Lamarck’s description than the fossil figured in the genera. It is 
more gracefully tapering and less transparent than D. ¢ransluci- 
dum. 


10. D. ronerrrorsum, Fve., f. 59, 60.—Testa polita, subaureo- 
flavescente, elongata, validé arcuata, fissurd dorsali_ brevissim’i.— 
A large, elongated, strongly bent, amber-coloured shell, with very 
slight dorsal fissure. 

11. D. epurneum, Zinn., £. 53.—Testd politd, pallidé fulva, 
elongata, rectiuscula, annulis concentricis elevatis numerosis cinc- 
ti; apice attenuata, vix fissurati.—The name has been wrongly 
applied to the species with incised lines, which Linnzeus described 
under the name of D. politum. T. eburneum is distinguished by 
raised rings of circumference. 


12. D. Puiierinarum, Sows. Th., f. 54.—Testé quam D. 
ehurneo angustiore, magis diaphand, colore rubescente.—This is a

brightly coloured, transparent shell, much narrower in proportion 
than D. eburneum. 

13. D. erecrum, Sowd. Th., f. 55.—Testé polité, angusta, vix 
arcuati, medio et versus apicem rubescente, prope marginem alba, 
utraque fissuraté.—This tapering shell is very little curved, the 
narrow end is strongly coloured, the larger end white. ‘There is 
a slit on each side of the apex. 


14. D. rversum, Desh., f. 42.—Testd tenui, levi, angusta, 
leviter arcuati, ad apicem rubescente ; fissurd apicali ventrali.— 
The shell is narrower than J. splendiduwm, but similarly coloured. 
Tt has a fissure on the inner or ventral side of the apex. 


15. D. arrenvatum, Sow. Thes., f. 40.—Testd tenui, fulva, 
polita, paululum arcuata, quam preecedentes angustiore ; apicé vix 
emarginatd.—A shining, pointed, very narrow species, with a very 
slight notch at the apex. It is nearly straight. 


16. D. vistuta, Sowd. Thes., f. 62.—Testé subhyalina, an- 
gusta, rectiusculd, apice integro.—The little fossil which M. Des- 
hayes names D. duplex, is very much like the specimen here 
figured from Mr. Hanley’s collection. Specimens in the British 
Museum exhibit the character upon which the name is founded, 
namely, the formation of a second tube where the original apex 
has been broken off, and Mr. Hanley’s specimen shows a second 
tube formed at the other end. The first being a habit common 
to many other species, and the second being accidental, T should 
decline using the name for its inapplicability, even if sure of the 
identity of the species. 


17. D. rrtum, Sowd. Thes., f. 45.—Testa tenui, angustissima, 
levi, acuminata, pallidé fulva, apice integro.—We have specimens 
of this, dredged by Mr. M‘Andrew, at Gibraltar, and others col- 
lected at the Philippines, by Mr. Cuming. Notwithstanding the 
difference of locality we can find no characters of specific import- 
ance by which to distinguish them. They are of thread-like nar- 
rowness, smooth, and without fissures. 

18. D. sucrum, Desh., f. 35.—Testa angusta, lacted, polita, 
subrecta, ad apicem obliqué sect, prope apicem tenuissimé striata. 
—White, cylindrical, polished, nearly straight, with an oblique 
cut across the apex, on the dorsal side. 

19. D. porirum, Linn., f. 46.—Testa politd, leviter arcuata, 
pallidé fulva, angusté, gradatim crescente, striis incisis obliquis 
numerosis concentricis cinct’i; fissurd apicali elongatéi.—Mr. 
Hanley, in his ‘Jpsa Linnei Conchylia,’ has rectified the long-

standing error of applying Linnzeus’s name of eburneum to this 
species, and that of podz¢wm to the shell to which Linneeus evi- 
dently meant to apply the name eburneum. T. politum is distin- 
guished from all other species by the incised lines which divide its 
whole length into oblique rings. It is excessively rare in a recent 
state, but well known among the fossils of the Paris basin. The 
figure is from Mr. Hanley’s recent specimen. 


20. D. topatum, Sowd. Thes., f. 44.—Testd subhyalina, validé 
arcuati, curti, levi, alba, seu partim pallidé fulva; apice obtuso, 
truneato, in lobis quatuor diviso.—This curious shell is smooth, 
short, and strongly curved in proportion to its length. The apex 
is divided into four lobes, the dorsal and ventral ones being each 
slightly subdivided. This peculiarity may possibly indicate an 
important difference in the animal structure, and until that is 
known, we cannot be certain even of its generic position. 


21. D. Tarentinum, Lamk., f. 19, 20, 49.—Testa solida, va- 
lidé arcuaté, laté, albi, nonnunquam roseo-tineti, versus apicem 
longitudinaliter striaté ; apice acuminato, plerumque integro.— 
Unless much worn, specimens of this shell always show striz near 
the apex, which, with the less cylindrical forms, distinguish them 
from D. entale. The two species have, by some authors, been even 
generically separated, on account of the absence of apical notch 
in D. Tarentinum. In a numerous series of both species now 
before us, however, we meet with cases where the notch is want- 
ing in the former and quite traceable in the latter. 


22. D. acutuatum, Sowd., f.63.—TestA alba, validé arcuata, 
ineequaliter striat’ ; apice attenuaté, acuminata, integr.—Not un- 
like the very young of PD. Zurentinum, but more acuminated, and 
with unequal instead of equal strie.

cylindrical, numerously ribbed at the apex, with additional strice 
afterwards, with a tendency to become smooth near the margin.

apex, but at various lengths their number is increased by inter- 
mediate ones, so as, in some specimens, to become numerous and 
equal. They are spotted or articulated. It is much more narrow 
and cylindrical than D. Belcheri. 


31. D. zetanpicum, Sowd. Jun., f. 13.—Testd alba, pallidé 
griseo et fulvo fasciatd, vix arcuati, pyramidal, lata ; costis nume-

unevenly ribbed, and has a backward curve in the centre, from 
ee bending forward at the apex.

pallidé fulva seu subviridi; costis octo, angulatis ; mterstitiis latis, 
planulatis ; fissuré apicali parva.—Differing from D. aprinum, in 
having eight instead of ten ribs, with broad flat surfaces between. 

40. D. novem-costatum, Desh., f. 24, 25, 26, 27, 38.—Testa

MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY 


NUCULIDA, 


FORMING THE LAMARCKIAN GENUS NUCULA. 


By Sytvanus Hantey, F.L.S., ere. 
YY , 


Tue essential ideal of a Lamarckian Nucu/a—1 do not mean 
the genus according to the precise definition of Lamarck, for that 
would scarcely include even the few shel!s he has indicated, but 
Nucula so extended as to comprehend all the species which that 
author, when he finally elaborated his system, would have lnked 
together, had he known them—is a bivalve hinged by a series of 
comb-like teeth. ‘hus simply characterized, its members form an 
easily recognizable assemblage, which, however, the exigence of 
modern classification compels us to subdivide as naturally as may 
be. 

The empirical school of conchologists, which prefers the arbi- 
trary selection of a strongly characterized type, and the grouping 
around it of such shells as resemble it in general aspect, to a strict 
generic definition (in default of which a species may be adjudged, 
even by an adept, to more groups than one), has distributed the 
pristine Nueu/z into six genera or subgenera (Nucla proper, Leda, 
Voldia, Portlandia, Solenella, Netto), placed far apart by D’Or- 
bigny, and certain other naturalists, in different families. Without 
arrogating to myself the skill to decide upon the rank, position, 
and value of these sections, I have preferred to follow the more 
moderate views of Woodward, because, while nothing is easier 
than to discriminate between a nacreous Nueula proper, a porcel- 
lanous Leda without a prominent ligament, and a porcellanous 
Solenella with one, no adequate and universal characters by which 
all the Yoldie and Portlandi@ may be indisputably distinguished 
from all the Lede have ever been indicated. The published de- 
finitions are either inapplicable to all, or would comprehend several 
undoubted Lede. 

VOL. IIT. M 


106 NUCULIDA. 


LEDA, Schumacher. 


Gen. Char. More or less elongated, usually peaked behind, almost 
always clothed with an epidermis, not nacreous within; margin 
never crenated. Teeth pectinated, on both sides of an internal 
cartilage. Pallhial line sinuated. 


Sect. I. Lupa, proper.—Often strong, usually with an umbo- 
nal ridge and concentric sculpture, only gaping at the posterior 
tip, sometimes without an epidermis, which, if present, is more 
often unpolished. Both dorsal areas usually impressed or defined, 
almost always sculptured. Pallial situs small or moderate.-—The 
four final species (especially the last two), Micobarica, serotina, 
lenidula, and tenella, are intermediate in character between this 
and the next section. 

Sect. II. Youpra, MWé//er.—Gaping at both ends, rarely with 
an umbonal ridge, usually fragile, usually with an epidermis, if so 
always a polished one (except, perhaps, in 7Zraci@formis), never 
ribbed, nor radiatingly sculptured, Dorsal areas rarely, if ever, 
sculptured, their lips usually pouting ; front dorsal area rarely im- 
pressed or defined. Cartilage-pit usually large, cochleariform, or 
broadly triangular, shelvingly projecting: inwards. Pallial sinus 
usually large. 

Sect. Ul. Porrtanpia, Mérch.—Resembling the last, but 
closed at both ends. 


Sect. I. Lepa, proper. 


1. L. nnoneara, Sowd., f. 39.—T. cymbeeformis, utrinque hians 
et obverse subcuneiformis, equilateralis, compressa, semipellucida, 
striis pertenuibus et anticé remotioribus longitudinaliter scalpta, 
postice leevigata, cute mitidi tenuissima fulva vel olivaceo-cinered 
induta. Extremitas antica aliquantulum latior, magisque rotun- 
data ; postica subbiangulata. Margo dorsalis horizontalis ; ventra- 
lis in medio rectiusculus vel subretusus, utrinque convexiter accli- 
vis.— Boat-shaped, thin, semitransparent, more or less compressed, 
gaping at both ends (more so in front), white under an excessively 
thin epidermis, which in aged examples is olivaceous ash-coloured, 
but in less matured ones is shining, bright fulvous, and only 
conspicuous near the margins; posteriorly smooth, elsewhere 
scratched lengthways with shelving strie, which are so fine above 
as to appear obsolete, are close, fine, and regular in the middle, 
more remote and concentric in front. No umbonal ridge, but an 
indistinct shallow indented ray in front. Sides equal, or very 


NUCULID&. 107 


nearly so, obversely subcuneiform, almost similar, but the front one 
is slightly the broader and more rounded, the hinder slightly the 
more tapering, and subbiangulated at its extrennty. Dorsal edge 
horizontal, very slightly flexuous (plano-convex in front, plano- 
retuse behind). Ventral margin subarcuated, the arch usually < 
little straightened or even subretuse in the middle, convexly rising 
at both ends, yet with a slight retusion in front, and in a straight- 
ened line behind. Beaks not at all elevated. Dorsal areas in- 
conspicuous, the hinder one flattened. Teeth most numerous on 
both sides ; pit shallow, broadly triangular, sunken. 


2. L. Sowrrsiana, D’Ord., f. 33.—T. L. elongate simillima, 
sed nivea, angustior, utrinque acutior, et fere usque ad extremi- 
tatem posticam scalpta strus arctioribus, quarum anticé et con-~ 
centrice sunt etiamque obliqué longitudinales. Arez dorsales trans- 
versim costulatee.—Iridescent, snow-white, most closely resem- 
bling elongata, yet rather narrower, and with more taper extremi- 
ties. The stri, also, which are still finer and closer, and just in 
front are both concentric and obliquely longitudinal, extend as far 
as the ordinary site of an umbonal ridge. Dorsal areas more or 
less distinctly cross-barred. In adult examples the fine central 
striz (at least in one of the valves) seem raised, and the lines of 
growth cut the somewhat slanting longitudinal ones before the 
smooth site of an umbonal ridge. In the young the escutcheon 
is excavated, and its edges crenulated: the hinder extremity of 
the valves, moreover (as may be seen in the nuclear portion of the 
full-grown shell), is, also, subobliquely striolate. D’Orbigny, 
aware that the South American /anceolata of Sowerby was not 
identical with the Lamarckian one (a species without adequate 
definition, either verbal or pictorial), termed it (Voy. Amér. 
Mérid. Moll., p. 544) Sowerdyana, but with his usual carelessness 
referred to the figure in the ‘Genera’ (edecfa), instead of that in 
the ‘ Illustrations.’ 


3. L. Pataconica, D’ Orbigny, f. 49, 50.—T. angusté oblongo- 
rostrata, compressa, albida, equilateralis, undique longitudinaliter 
striata ; strize anticé remotiores. Hxtremitas rostri attenuati re- 
curvata, suboblique truncata. Margo dorsalis anticus rectiuscu- 
lus, vix declivis; posticus valde incurvatus, paululum declivis. 
Area magna excavata, carina plicee umbonalis simplici circum- 
scripta.—Of a much-produced beaked-oblong shape, rather thin, 
compressed, whitish, with a very shallow radiating indentation 
anteriorly, before which the close-set shelving subcoucentric striz 
that elsewhere traverse the entire surface become more distant, 


108 NUCULID&. 


and are cross-hatched, as it were, by true concentric ones. Sides 
equal, or very nearly so. The front extremity bluntly rounded ; 
the beaked hinder side gradually attenuated to a very narrow, 
rather oblique, truncated, recurved tip. Front dorsal edge straight- 
ish, nearly horizontal; hinder dorsal slope slight, much incurved. 
Ventral margin arched in front, much and convexly rising behind, 
neither retuse in front nor centrally. Escutcheon excavated, 
large, carinately defined by the projecting, nearly simple (7. e. not 
distinctly crenulated) edge of the umbonal ridge, which latter is 
planalate, and inconspicuous. Lunule narrow, not well defined. 
Cartilage-pit broadly triangular. ‘Teeth very numerous on both 
sides. 


4, L. Trxtinormes, Sowerby, f. 36.—T. lanceolato-elliptica, 
antice rotundato-acuminata, flexuosa, subeequilateralis, nivea, com- 
pressa, nisi posticé undique striata: striz anticee longitudinales ; 
medi oblique curvatee. Margo dorsalis uterque vix declivis, an- 
ticus plano-convexus, posticus vix retusus. Areze dorsales incon- 
spicue.—Hlongated, lanceolated-elliptic, slightly flexuous, bend- 
ing down a little in front, and inclining upwards a little behind ; 
thin, glossy, snow-white, compressed ; smooth behind, elsewhere 
striated : striz curved and slanting in the middle, almost concen- 
tric in front. Sides very nearly equal, gradually and nearly equally 
tapering to either extremity; anterior end rotundately peaked ; 
posterior end angular above, rounded below. Dorsal slopes very 
slight ; the front one plano-convex, the hinder one barely subre- 
tuse. Ventral margin subarcuated throughout, with an extremely 
slight anterior, and no posterior, retusion. Dorsal areas incon- 
spicuous ; the hinder one impressed, its edges minutely crenulated. 
Teeth very numerous on both sides.—Besides the longitudinal 
strie, a few symmetrical lines of growth may be discerned beneath 
the front dorsal edge, and a few still more indistinct ones (but no 
striz) on the opposite side. In mature examples similar lines are 
likewise manifest in the middle, near the lower margin. 


5. L. etortosa, 4. Adams, f. 42, 43.—T. angusté lanceolata, 
nivea, in medio tanttim inferne compressa, ante radium impressum 
anticum plicis planulatis latis, et pone eum stris inclinatis arctio- 
ribus, concentrice sculpta; posticé multiim longior, obtuse acu- 
minata, Mcurvatione utriusque margimis coarctata. Margo dorsalis 
anticus plano-convexus vix declivis; ventralis anticé arcuatus.— 
Elongated lanceolate, snow-white, shining, gaping at both ends 
(especially below anteriorly), convex or subventricose, retusely 
compressed below in the middle, with an indented ray in front ; 


NUCULIDA. 109 


the ordinary site of an umbonal ridge not elevated, but convex 
and smooth, elsewhere regularly and concentrically sculptured, by 
broad imbricated flattened folds before the indentation, by twice 
as numerous close shelving striz behind it. Front side much the 
shorter, unsymmetrically rounded at the extremity. Hinder side 
rapidly contracted by the incurvation, behind the beaks, of both 
upper and lower edges, then gradually acuminated to a bluntly 
oblique extremity, the tip being more prominent dorsally. Front 
dorsal edge scarcely sloping, plano-convex ; hinder dorsal slope 
rather slight, much produced, plano-retuse. Ventral margin 
arcuated in front, rising, after the central retusion, with little 
convexity. Hscutcheon carinately defined, rather broad. Lunule 
just perceptible. Cartilage-pit small, triangular. Teeth numerous, 
particularly behind.—The epidermis is of a yellowish ash-colour. 


6. L. nxecra, 4. Adams, f. 40, 41.—T. anguste lanceolato- 
rostrata, utrinque attenuata, eequilateralis, nivea, compressa, un- 
dique longitudinaliter striolata: striole anticee minus conspicue ; 
postice arctiores, magisque oblique. Hxtremitas postica obliqué 
subtruncata. Margo dorsalis posticus incurvatus, vix declivis ; 
ventralis in medio arcuatus. Area impressa, crenato-marginata. 
—Hlongated, beaked-lanceolate, thin, compressed, shining white, 
everywhere minutely yet distinctly sculptured; shelvingly scratched 
lengthways by fine strize, which in front (where they are crossed 
by the wrinkles of growth) are more distant and less manifest, 
and become closer and more slanting posteriorly ; the scarcely 
raised extreme posterior ridge is smooth to the eye, yet is barred 
with raised concentric wrinkles. Sides equal or very nearly so ; 
the anterior one gradually tapering to a narrow rounded tip; the 
posterior one beaked and still more attenuated, the extreme tip 
obliquely subtruncated and angulated above. Front dorsal slope 
moderate, convex ; hinder dorsal slope, slight, incurved. Ventral 
margin arched in the middle, rising at both ends, barely subretuse 
in front. Beaks minute, sharp, perceptibly projecting. Escutcheon 
sunken, crenately margined. Lunule perceptible. 


7. L. Taytor1, Hanley, f.35.—T. elongata, anticé aliquantum 
brevior et rotundato-lanceolata, posticé attenuata et subrostrata ;

white, striated lengthways throughout (except a small triangular 
space in the lower corner of the left valve just adjacent to the 
planulate umbonal ridge, which latter is also somewhat smoothish 
near its termination) ; striz: very close (rather less so in the front 
of the right valve), raised and concentric in front, then shelving 
and (at least im the left valve) more or less slanting. Dorsal edge 
but little sloping on either side, plano-convex in front, plano- 
retuse behind. Ventral margin much arched, rising almost 
equally at both ends. Beaks little promiment. Escutcheon nar- 
row, flattened, well defined by the very prominent crenulated edge 
of the umbonal ridge. Front dorsal area less conspicuous, con- 
centrically striated. Cartilage-pit broadly triangular, subemargi-

strie for the most part extremely fine and close, less so on the 
narrow and scarcely elevated umbonal ridge (where they become 
shelving), and just after a narrow fold that bounds the large and 
flattened front dorsal area. Sides nearly equal: the front ex-

its tip nearly central, very small and subtruncated. Front dorsal 
slope very slight, plano-convex ; hinder dorsal slope moderate, 
retuse. Ventral margin arched in front, retuse before the hinder tip. 
Escutcheon large, smooth, well defined by the crenated edge of

from the nuclear portion, which is somewhat remotely lamellated, 
and by no means elongated, the fry may readily be mistaken for a 
distinct species.

beyond the middle, and just before its hinder termination.

the lower margin with a few very obsolete radiating grooves. 
General surface (polished, fide Hinds) traversed by shelving some- 
what slantingly longitudinal sulci, which are fainter in front and 
on the somewhat depressed umboes, and cease suddenly near the 
posterior end, leaving a planulate narrow strip, which is crowded 
with concentric wrinkles or striz. Hinder triangle smoothish or 
finely wrinkled concentrically, and divided into three areas by a 
carinated line, which bounds the escutcheon (which is concavely 
impressed, but with pouting lips) by a very abrupt sinking of the 
surface which angularly limits the lowest ared in front, and by a 
slightly raised radiating line, which stands halfway between these 
two. Extremity of the slightly shorter anterior side attenuatedly 
rounded ; posterior side not beaked, sinuously subtruncated, being 
angulated by the triple projection of the radiations. Front dorsal 
slope decided, plano-convex ; hinder dorsal slope rather slight, 
incurved. Ventral margin merely convex in front, straightish 
and without indentation behind. No defined front dorsal area. 
Teeth very, and nearly equally, numerous on either side of the 
rather large, shelving, triangular cartilage-pit. Mr. Metcalfe 
possesses two dead left valves. As the central keel does not 
extend to the umboes, it is probably wholly absent in the fry.

ridge occupied by a kind of lattice-work formed by several ra- 
diating linear keels and rather distant, transverse, raised strive ; 
ivory-white (sometimes very pale tawny), rather glossy, everywhere 
(dorsal areas excepted) waved with flexuous, closely disposed,

Ventral margin much arcuated, rising obliquely in front, not re- 
tuse behind. Escutcheon large, defined, finely grooved length- 
ways. Lunule inconspicuous. Teeth numerous on both sides. 
Judging from the nucleus, the fry may readily be mistaken for a 
distinct species. Montagu described the species as new, and not 
as of Gmelin, whose rostrata was identical with pernula.

closely resembling crassa, but is peaked-ovate ; the slopes are con- 
sequently more decided, and the ventral margin more arched ; the 
peak is rather more acuminated, and higher seated ; the lyre, too, 
are scarcely so prominent, and the arched ones on the umbonal 
ridge become, occasionally, almost obsolete at the lower extremity.

be discerned at the commencement of the retusion which precedes 
the posterior ridge.*

much in different individuals: the posterior smoothness seems a 
constant character. 


43. L. micans, A. Adams, f. 100.—T. ovali-acuta, posticé re- 
penté rostrata, equilateralis, subventricosa, ante plicam umbonalem 
obsoletam superneé retusa, cute nitidd cinerea induta, undique con-

tralis. Margo dorsalis anticé satis declivis ; posticé rectiusculus, 
demum incurvatus; ventralis valde arcuatus, utrinque, posticé 
preesertim, multum acclivis. Area magna, ovali-lanceolata, longi- 
tudinaliter crassé rugosa. Lunula acute definita, satis magna, 
transversim porcata.—Peaked-oval, convex or subventricose, 
scarcely gaping, with a vlossy, somewhat iridescent, cinereous 
epidermis, graven throughout (dorsal areas excepted) with con- 
centric sulci, which are shelving in front, and whose intervals be- 
come coste at the umboes and posteriorly: umbonal ridge region 
not elevated. Sides equal or very nearly so: front extremity 
attenuatedly rounded; hinder end abruptly beaked, the tip re- 
curved, angular, subcentral. Front dorsal slope moderate, plano- 
convex: hinder dorsal slope decided, straightish, incurved at the 
end. Ventral margin much arcuated, much rising at both ends, 
especially behind. Escutcheon large, oval-lanceolate, coarsely 
wrinkled lengthways, defined by the projection of the umbonal 
ridge, pouting. Lunule sharply defined, rather large, barred 
across with short ridges.—The posterior ridge is preceded near 
the beaks by a marked retusion, and there is an obsolete narrow 
indented ray in front of the valves. 


44, L. Conrant, Hanley, f. 101.—T. subovato-acuta, postict 
longior et acutissimé acuminata, valde inequilateralis, radii im- 
pressi expers, cute subolivaceo-flava mduta, costis crassis concen-

Peaked-subovate, very inequilateral, subventricose (very gradually 
dimimishing im convexity behind), devoid of any trace of an in- 
dented ray, clothed with a scarcely lustrous subolivaceous-yellow 
epidermis, concentrically ribbed throughout. Ribs coarse, with 
smooth intervals that above are as broad as the ribs, below are 
mere sulci, peculiarly crowded by the addition of interstitial ones 
on the angular margin of the posterior ridge. Anterior side short, 
tapering and rounded at the extremity: posterior side gradually,

simply, and very sharply acuminated, the tip subcentral, rather 
below than above the middle. Front dorsal slope short, rather 
slight, plano-convex: hinder dorsal slope produced, moderate, 
straightish, Ventral margin more or less arcuated in front, rising 
with less convexity and without terminal indentation behind. No 
defined dorsal area in front: hinder one large, angularly defined, 
plicately wrinkled at the circumference, smoothish in the middle. 
—A single specimen, without known locality, is present in Mr. 
Taylor’s fine collection. The form reminds one of Conrad’s edorea, 
but the sculpture differs. The ribs on the posterior ridge form 
obtuse angles with the concentric ones.

subretusus ; ventralis arcuatus, utrinque multum acclivis. Area 
magna, ovali-lanceolata; inferné concaviuscula, longitudinaliter 
crenata. Lunula minima, inconspicua.—Small, peaked-ovate 
(often a little elongated), subventricose, whitish, with a radiating 
fold near the front extremity, closely and concentrically lyrated 
throughout; the interstitial sulci broader and unsculptured. Ex- 
tremity of the slightly shorter anterior side contracted and rounded. 
Posterior side rapidly acuminated; the sharp subrostrated tip 
nearly subcentral. Front dorsal slope very moderate, convex or 
plano-convex ; hinder dorsal slope straightish or subretuse. Ven- 
tral margin arched, much rising at both ends, straighter behind, 
scarcely, if at all, retuse before the obsolete or planulate umbonal 
ridge. Hscutcheon large, oval-lanceolate, near its subcrenated keel- 
like limits more concave and longitudinally crenated. Lunule 
more or less conspicuous, very small, merely wrinkled.*—This tiny 
species was apparently comprehended by Chemnitz in his Area 
Sragilis (Conch. Cab. vii. p. 199), but his figure (f. 546) repre- 
sents a much larger shell.

transversim costellata.—Very small, peaked-ovate, more or less 
ventricose, white (without epidermis?), devoid of indented ray, 
everywhere coarsely ribbed (dorsal areas excepted). Ribs longi- 
tudinal (not concentric) ; their intervals, which are quite as broad 
as the ribs, and in front, where the latter are somewhat divergent, 
rather broader, everywhere adorned with radiating lyre. Sides 
equal or very nearly so; anterior end somewhat narrowed and 
rounded. Posterior side acuminated, the tip bluntly acutangular, 
subcentral, scarcely upturned. Dorsal slopes moderate; front 
one convex ; hinder one at first straightish, then convex, eventually 
incurved. Ventral margin arcuated, rising at both ends. Lunule 
narrow, barred across ; escutcheon rather large, lanceolated-elliptic, 
deeply and abruptly impressed, almost double, wrinkled length- 
ways in the middle, costellated across at the circumference. 
Hinge-margin very broad: cartilage-pit minute, perpendicular, 
triangular.

umbonali depressd creno-costati definita. Lunula sublevigata, 
sulco circumscripta.—Minute, rounded ovate-conic, tumid or ven- 
tricose, glossy ivory-white, barely gaping even posteriorly, devoid 
of indented ray or raised umbonal ridge, concentrically ribbed 
throughout (dorsal areas excepted) ; ribs narrow, prominent, nu- 
merous, only as broad as the intervals, which are smooth in the 
middle and rather obscurely creno-lyrated at each extremity. 
Sides very nearly equal; anterior one the shorter, peculiarly broad, 
rounded ; posterior one abruptly and sharply acuminated, its tip 
very short, subcentral, scarcely, if at all, recurved. Front dorsal 
slope short, plano-convex, rather decided: hinder dorsal decided, 
straightish. Ventral margin peculiarly arcuated, straighter and 
much rising behind. Lunule defined by a sulcus, either smooth, 
or with only fine raised wrinkles: escutcheon large, defined by 
the creno-costated projection of the posterior ridge. Teeth rather 
uumerous on either side.—Of this little Leda I have seen but

two perfect individuals (Mus. Cuming), which I have carefully 
compared with the larger known species from suspicion of their 
being immature. In the larger and apparently adult one, the 
front dorsal area is traversed by a kind of interrupted flexuous 
continuation of the ribs: this sculpture is not perceptible on the 
younger example. The dorsal lips protrude. 


48. L. virrna, D’Orbigny, f. 170.—T. perparva, ovali-acuta, 
posticé repenté acuminata, subzquilateralis, alba, radii impressi

definita, longitudinaliter lamelloso-rugosa. Lunula transversim 
costellata, aliter inconspicua. Dentes magni, utrinque satis sub- 
eequaliterque pauci.—Peaked-oval, more or less ventricose, scarcely 
at all gaping, snow-white, glossy, not pellucid, without anterior 
indented ray or marked umbonal ridge. General surface most 
closely, evenly, and prominently costellated throughout ; the costal 
interstices mere simple sulci. Sides very nearly equal: the ante- 
rior, if either, the longer, shghtly tapering to a rounded extremity : 
posterior side quickly and simply acuminated, its tip sharp and 
subcentral. Front dorsal slope slight, convex: hinder dorsal slope 
decided, nearly straight, eventually incurved. Ventral margin, 
for the most part, much arcuated, yet straightish and rising con- 
siderably behind, without marked posterior retusion. Hscutcheon 
large, rather excavated, lamellately wrinkled lengthways, sharply 
angulated at its circumference. Lunule transversely costellated, 
otherwise ill-defined. Hinge-margin broad ; the large teeth nearly 
equally (and but moderately) numerous on either side of the ex- 
tremely minute cartilage-pit—D’Orbigny’s types in our national 
collection have been the source of this description.

retusion. General surface concentrically wrinkled throughout ; 
the ribs even, and narrower than their intervals. Sides equal or 
nearly so; front one attenuately rounded at its extremity ; hinder 
one rapidly beaked, its peculiarly prominent tip very acutangular, 
and rather below than above the middle. Dorsal slopes moderate, 
at first straightish ; the hinder one eventually incurved and more 
decided. Ventral margin arcuated, straighter behind, sinuated 
by the two retusions. Escutcheon large, almost longitudinally 
wrinkled in the middle, concave at the circumference (where it is 
lamellately ribbed), and carinately defined by the umbonal ridge, 
which is subimbricated by the flattened ribs. Hinge-margin 
broad: teeth not very numerous, rather more in front than behind 
the extremely minute triangular cartilage-pit.—The types of this 
very small, yet distinct, species are preserved in our national col- 
lection. In one of them the costal intervals exhibit manifest traces 
of radiating sculpture. ‘The lunule we cannot clearly distinguish.

cumscripta, transversim costellata——Beaked-subovate, ventricose, 
gaping at the posterior tip, with a conspicuous broad indented 
ray in front, and, after a fine interrupted radiating lyra, a fang- 
shaped abrupt sinking of the surface posteriorly, the concavity of 
which gives prominence to the umbonal ridge. General surface 
concentrically costellated throughout ; the riblets somewhat shel- 
ving, about as broad as their intervals, which are radiatingly ly- 
rated at the posterior end. Sides equal or very nearly so : anterior 
extremity tapering, rounded : posterior side beaked, the tip bluntly 
peaked, recurved, subcentral. Front dorsal slope slight, plano- 
convex : hinder dorsal slope moderate, at first straightish, abruptly 
incurved at the termination. Ventral margin arcuated and ex- 
ternally crenulated in the front and middle, straighter and rising 
behind, indented before the posterior ridge. Lunule narrow, 
linearly defined, cross-barred : escutcheon large, with close con- 
centric flexuous costellar wrinkles, double, the exterior being 
broadly and deeply excavated.—The only specimen known to me, 
which now belongs to Mr. Metcalfe, who purchased Mr. Hinds’s 
collection when he quitted England, has no epidermis; its ribs

become finer and peculiarly approximate near the ventral margin. 
The specimen referred to in the ‘ Zoological Proceedings’ as in 
Mr. Cuming’s Museum, proves essentially distinct. 


51. L. Hinpsu, Hanley, f. 102.—T. parva, subzequilateralis,

Area magna, concava, arcté longitudinaliter costellato-striata ; in- 
terstitia impressa punctulata. Lunula parva, transversim tuber- 
culata.—Very small, subequilateral, pointed, ovate-oblong, more 
or less ventricose, only gaping at the hinder tip, with a conspi- 
cuous broad anterior indented ray and fold, white, concentrically 
costellated, except a smooth upper space before the keeled or 
sharply angulated umbonal ridge; riblets regular and numerous, 
scarcely as broad as their intervals, which are everywhere traversed 
by minute radiating lyree. Anterior extremity attenuatedly rounded: 
posterior side, if either, the longer, simply and sharply acuminated, 
the tip subcentral, acutangular, scarcely, if at all, recurved. Dor- 
sal slopes moderate ; front one convex; hinder one straightish or 
subretuse. Ventral margin arcuated in the front and middle, 
rising at both ends, straighter behind. Lunule small, narrow, 
subgranosely cross-barred: escutcheon large, concave, crowded 
with longitudinal costellar strize, whose intervals appear punctulate 
from the minute transverse sculpture. About a dozen teeth on 
either side of the minute cartilage-pit—Mr. Hinds had confused 
this rare little shell (of which Mr. Cuming, Mr. Metcalfe, and 
myself, each possess asingle individual) with his WV. crispa, which 
name has been retained for the delineated species. An incipient 
ridge almost renders the larger dorsal area a double one. I have 
seen no epidermis.

which is crossed by the numerous regularly disposed sublamellar 
concentric ribs that evenly traverse the entire surface except the 
dorsal areas, and a smooth nuclear region: their intervals, which 
are rather broader than the ribs, unsculptured, except where a 
few raised lines indistinctly and partially margin the broad shallow 
rudimentary anterior indented ray. Sides nearly equal: front 
extremity broadly and bluntly rounded; hinder side abruptly 
beaked, the tip very narrow, remarkably cocked-up, bluntly acu- 
minated, above the middle. Front dorsal slope rather slight, 
short, plano-convex; hinder dorsal slope decided, incurved. 
Ventral margin much arcuated in front, straighter and much 
rising behind, retuse before its posterior termination. Lunule 
well defined, cross-barred by riblets: escutcheon very large, ex- 
cavated, smooth at the circumference, costellated lengthways near 
the beaks. Hinge-margin very broad, teeth numerous, especially 
in front. Cartilage-pit extremely minute, triangular. Hpidermis 
unknown. 


53. L. Nicoparica, Chemn. amended by Bruguiere, f. 7.—T.

formis, pallidé fulva, striis densis subobliquis (nisi posticé superné) 
undique sculpta. Margines dorsales vix declives. Are dorsales 
anguste, definitee, dentes utrinque permultii—Oblong convex or 
subventricose, devoid of umbonal ridge, pale-tawny, closely graven 
with obliquely concentric striz, which do not extend to the hinder 
triangle. Extvemity of the anterior side, which occupies nearly 
three-sevenths of the total length, unsymmetrically rounded. 
Posterior side rather tapering, bluntly obversely subcuneiform ; 
the extremity broad, convex, and above the middle, with a long 
shallow dorsal notch. Dorsal slopes very slight, nearly straight. 
Ventral margin archmg up in front, then convex or subarcuated, 
straighter behind: posterior edge oblique, somewhat convex, yet 
a little retuse in the middle. Dorsal areas narrow, but well de- 
fined. Cartilage-pit broadly triangular: teeth numerous on both 
sides.—Although long known and often described, I have never 
met with this species in good condition. The teeth seem to 
average about eighteen on one side and twenty on the other. Of 
the three names bestowed by Chemnitz I have preferred WVico- 
barica, because the other two are deceptive ; for the shell is neither 
smooth nor transparent. I doubt whether Spengler ever really 
published his Illustrated Catalogue. 


54. L. serorina, Hinds, f. 19-21.—T. subineequilateralis, ven-

dorsalis uterque vix declivis, anticé convexiusculus, posticé recti- 
usculus ; ventralis ad extremitatem posticam subito acclivis. Area 
lanceolata, acuté definita, subleevigata.—Hlongated-oblong, more 
or less ventricose, only compressed on the convex-surfaced posterior 
triangle, which (as well as, occasionally, the hinder umbonal region) 
is devoid of the distant concentric subimbricating sulci which else- 
where traverse the highly polished pale mud-yellow exterior. An- 
terior side rather short, filling about three-sevenths of the total 
length, unsymmetrically rounded. Posterior side gradually at- 
tenuated, not beaked, angulated and more prominent above, with 
a slight dorsal notch or sinus: posterior edge convex, oblique. 
Dorsal slopes trifling; front one convex, or plano-convex ; hinder 
one straight or subretuse. Ventral margin arching obliquely up- 
wards in front, convex behind, bending abruptly up at its termi- 
nation. Escutcheon lanceolate, carinately defined, more or less 
smooth. Cartilage-pit sunken, triangular. ‘Teeth numerous.— 
In the variety Zepzda, the hinder side is more gradually attenuated 
to a slightly more slanting tip, and the sulci are partially absent : 
in the form serotina the latter traverse the whole middle area, and 
the lunular region is slightly more prominent.

tem convexus. Arez dorsales inconspicue. Dentes utrinque 
permulti.—Most closely resembling ¢ened/a, but larger, rather less 
inequilateral, more spread and less ventricose in proportion. The 
valves are thin, and gape at both extremities, the epidermis is of 
a very pale olivaceous ash-colour ; the ventral margin, in the adult, 
sweeps almost uninterruptedly, without central retusion, to the 
hinder extremity, which is blunter and less oblique than in fene//a. 
There is not the least trace of an umbonal ridge. The front dorsal 
edge is decidedly convex at the extremity. The beaks are pecu- 
liarly small, and not all prominent. Dorsal areas inconspicuous. 
Inside bluish-white, subiridescent : cartilage-pit small, triangular : 
teeth very numerous on both sides, peculiarly narrow-based, and 
elevated.

small, subventricose at the umbonal region, gradually compressed 
behind, ivory-white (sometimes of a yellow cast), glossy, smooth 
to the eye, but under a powerful glass most minutely and closely 
striolate; the extreme front strivle nearly concentric, the next 
sloping downwards and backwards, the hinder, which do not, 
however, extend to the extreme verge, radiating, and, if possible, 
still finer. Extremity of the anterior side, which occupies about 
two-fifths of the total length, and gapes considerably below, un- 
symmetrically rounded. Posterior side neither beaked, nor much 
attenuated, but with a rounded-off angle above; the hinder tri- 
angle not defined by a distinct umbonal ridge, but well marked 
near the umboes by the sudden decrease of the general convexity. 
Front dorsal slope slight, short, plano-convex : hinder dorsal edge 
scarcely sloping, at first subretuse, eventually plano-convex. Ven- 
tral margin obliquely arching upwards in front, subretuse in the 
middle, then convex and meeting the dorsal edge in an oblique 
and straightish line. Escutcheon peculiarly narrow (obscurely 
grooved 2). Lunule larger, well defined, finely striolate length- 
ways.—The epidermis is extremely thin, and somewhat iridescent.

gaping at both ends, covered by a strong glossy (often dark) olive 
cuticle, marked lengthways with moderately distant flexuously 
slanting strize, which join some remote concentric striz, that run 
from the front dorsal edge, along the obscure and very shallow 
anterior indented ray, and cease posteriorly at the broad smooth 
site of an umbonal ridge. Front side slightly, yet decidedly, the 
longer, semiclliptical (the upper and lower slopes being almost 
symmetrical) ; hinder side bluntly beaked, the almost subtruncated 
tip (which in the adult shell is Ingher than the middle) broad, 
slightly upturned, more prominent above. Hinder dorsal slope 
moderate, at first convex, then incurved. Ventral margin arched 
in front, merely convex but much rising behind, not retuse pos-

pouting, although so abruptly impressed at its circumference that 
it seems angularly defined by the higher level of the general sur- 
face. No lunule. Cartilage-pit very large, broad, cochleariform. 

Front teeth much the more numerous.—The ‘Mineral Conchology’ 

was published before the ‘Animaux s. Vertebres,’ and long before 
the ‘ Zoological Journal.’

yet longer in front, gaping a both extremities, with a shallow in- 
dentation radiating from the acute beaks (which are reflected and 
by no means prominent) to both ends of the ventral margin, and 
obsoletely sinuating them, narrowly rounded in front, subtruncately 
beaked behind (posterior lip convex), covered with a polished 
cuticle which is brownish-olive, greenish-olive, or pure olive, in 
rather broad lighter and darker zones, smooth, except ventrally, 
where the surface is coarsely and remotely wrimkled concentrically. 
Dorsal edges little sloping; the front one convex, the hinder one 
barely retuse. Ventral edge retusely straightened in the middle, 
much arcuated in front, convexly rising behind. Escutcheon 
lanceolate, not sunken, nor sharply defined, merely indicated by 
a cessation of the convexity, its edges pouting: lunule wholly 
obsolete. Interior bluish-white: teeth very numerous.

broadly rounded, the ventral margin more rising posteriorly. 
Escutcheon sharply defined by the very abrupt cessation of the 
general convexity. Lunule linear, perceptible. Teeth numerous 
on both sides (often 28-20).

margin, and less so posteriorly, with an almost imperceptible um- 
bonal ridge, clothed by a highly polished olive epidermis, whose

The lunule, too, though indistinct, is wrinkled by sulci. ‘There

less peaked and more truncated, the extreme projection is, for the 
most part, above the middle. ‘The epidermis, which ranges from 
yellowish-olive in the young to dusky-olive in the adult, is less 
polished. The front dorsal edge is straighter: the ventral margin 
rather less arched, and the retusions are still less apparent. The 


cartilage-pit is broadly triangular ; the teeth numerous on either

the latter much rising, almost symmetrical; its tip (in the adult) 
narrower and less rounded than the broad extremity of the slightly 
beaked hinder side. Posterior dorsal slope decided, eventually

me (belonging to Mr. Metcalfe) there is present in one of the 
valves, towards the lower margin, a pencil of regular closely dis- 
posed radiating striz, and in the other of interrupted grain-like

region, gradually declining in convexity beyond the gradually 
developed umbonal ridge that parts off, in the adult, nearly three- 
sevenths of the entire surface, much gaping at both extremities, 
reddish-white under a rather dull fugacious epidermis, that ranges 
in colour from olivaceous-ash to (more rarely) olivaceous-brown ; 
coarsely and remotely wrinkled concentrically towards the outer 
margin. Anterior side a little the shorter, unsymmetrically 
rounded, its dorsal edge short, slightly convex, and a little 
sloping. Hinder dorsal edge incurved, horizontal, forming a 
blunt angle with the posterior edge, which is arched above but 
more rectilinear and obliquely sloping inwards below, so that the 
upper corner is far more prominent than the rounded lower extre- 
mity. Ventral margin somewhat convex in the middle, obliquely 
arcuated and much rising in front, with an occasional sinus before 
the umbonal ridge. Lips of the escutcheon, which is concave and 
linear-lanceolate, pouting. Cartilage-pit very large: pallial sinus 
profound, and very large. Teeth not numerous (often fifteen to 
seventeen).—The chief lateral projection is rather below the dorsal

to dusky-olive (in the broader individuals) ; most closely and 
finely shagreened by raised concentric undulated subgranular 
wrinkles. Sides equal; the front unsymmetrically semielliptical, 
the hinder obversely wedge-shaped, its broad extremity being 
subtruncated from above inwards. Front dorsal edge just at first 
horizontal, then more or less arched and sloping: hinder dorsal 
edge but little sloping, at first somewhat retuse, then convex. 
Ventral margin arching up in front, subretuse behind the middle, 
subangular at its junction with the retuse posterior margin. No 
defined lunule or lozenge, but a wide and large concave hinder 
dorsal region marked out by an obscure rounded umbonal ridge, 
the surface before which is somewhat planulate. Cartilage-pit 
almost perpendicular, not large, triangular (with an arched base). 
Teeth moderately numerous (ten or twelve) on either side.—The 
typical or earlier known form is five-sixths of an inch long, and 
seven lines broad: the elongated variety Portlandica averages 
eleven-sixteenths of an inch in length and hardly more than three-

consider that side the posterior which contains the larger portion of the eartilage, and 
that the anterior towards which the beaks incline. The position of the animal in

covered by a thin greenish oil-coloured epidermis, everywhere 
(near the slopes excepted) conspicuously decussated by irregularly 
concentric costellar or lamellar wrinkles, pairs of which often be- 
come confluent anteriorly, and close-set radiating raised lines. 
Anterior extremity somewhat tapering, chiefly projecting below 
the middle, rounded; posterior end rotundately subangulated 
below, its dorsal slope very decided. Ventral margin closely cre- 
nated within, more rising in front, at times much arcuated in the 
middle, at times (in the very inequilateral specimens) only slightly 
so. Lunular area rather large, pouting, more or less angularly 
defined, for the most part subgranosely wrinkled near the cir- 
cumference, smoothish in the middle: opposite dorsal area rather 
flattened, usually obscurely barred with wavy pliciform wrinkles, 
which generally become obsolete with age. ‘Teeth about twelve 
on the shorter side, and twice as many on the longer.—There 
are three known variations. The North British form, where 
the wrinkles are almost lamellar, and the shape is somewhat more 
ovate; the N. African form, where the wrinkles are costellar 
and shelving, and the shape triangular; and the Mediterranean 
form, where the sculpture is comparatively undeveloped and the 
form intermediate between the two previously indicated. Mr. 
Cuming possesses an aged example (seven-eighths of an inch in 
length) in which the radiating lines appear incised near the lower 
margin, and the smooth lunular area is devoid of the ordinary 
sculpture, projection, or definement.

and rather prominent below. Ventral margin rather finely crenated 
within, arched, rising posteriorly. Beaks prominent. Lunular 
area shining, rather obscurely, yet impressly defined, somewhat 
pouting, concentrically wrinkled, without radiating lines or granules. 
Opposite dorsal area smoothish or concentrically wrinkled. About 
twenty teeth on one side, and ten on the other.—The northern and 
southern forms differ to some considerable extent; the surface in 
the former is comparatively smooth, and its epidermis is yellowish ; 
in the latter (or at least in the Mediterranean examples*) the 
epidermis is of a dusky-olive, the sculpture is much more decided, 
and the radiating lines often pervade the central portion likewise. 
Bruguiére’s description of his 4. margaritucea (Hist. Nat. Vers, 
109), for which Arca nucleus of Linnzeus is indicated as a probable 
synonym, is rather generic than specific; he admitted but a single 
species of wacreous Arca, which he ascribed to St. Domingo, but 
referred likewise to England as a habitat, on the authority of Da 
Costa. As Petiver’s rude figure (Gaz. pl. 17, f. 9) of the present 
species is cited by him as the most characteristic, we may fairly 
regard his margaritacea as, in the main, identical with the com- 
monest of our known Nucule.

behind. More or less compressed, and under a not quite dull 
epidermis, that ranges in tint from olivaceous-yellow in the young 
to deep-olive in the mature, colour-rayed ; rays for the most part 
narrow and smoke-coloured, sometimes (especially in the young) 
orange-red, and broader; sometimes painted with both colours. 
The lunule is elongated, but less prominent than in xweleus.— 
There is more posterior projection in the fry, but at that stage the

elongatus. Latus posticum fere nullum, inferné acclivitate repen- 
tind marginis ventralis multum arcuati et arguté crenulati obliqué 
excisum. Lunula valde prominens, bene definita.—Peculiarly 
oblique, about as broad as long, compressed, invested with a rather 
glossy, yellowish-chestnut epidermis, not colour-rayed, everywhere 
almost smooth, merely obscurely wrinkled concentrically, devoid 
of radiating or divergent sculpture. Anterior extremity narrowed, 
yet well rounded ; front dorsal edge peculiarly elongated and arched. 
Posterior side scarcely any, obliquely cut off below by the abrupt 
ascent of the much arcuated ventral margin, which is finely crenu- 
lated within : lunular region peculiarly prominent and well defined. 
—Mr. Cuming and Mr. Metcalfe each possess a single specimen. 


6. N. nrrmua, 4. Adams, f. 142.—T. obliqua, ovato-conoi- 
dalis, eequé lata ac longa, haud ventricosa, valde inzequilateralis ; 
cute polita pallidé olivacei, zonisque nigro-cinereis cincti, induta,

prominentes. Lunula subangulatim definita, multum eminens.— 
Oblique, ovate-conoidal, as broad as long, by no means ventricose, 
extremely inequilateral, with a polished pale olive-coloured epi- 
dermis, and dark grey zones, everywhere smooth. Ventral mar- 
gin crenulated within, much arcuated, rismg behind so as to 
obliquely round off the posterior corner. Extremity of the sub- 
cuneiform anterior side rounded, front dorsal slope very decided, 
much produced. Beaks acute, prominent, touching. Lunular 
area much projecting, subangularly defined. 


7. N. nrrmpa, Sowd., f. 120.—T. ovato-trigona, satis ventri-

crenulatus multum arcuatus, posticé satis repenté acclivis. Areze 
dorsales tantum lineis incrementi rudé corrugate ; lunula haud 
definita, haud prominens. Margo cardinalis subangustus.—Ovate- 
trigonal, subventricose (compressed when young), clothed with a 
highly polished ashy-olive epidermis, occasionally marked with 
smoke-coloured linear rays: with concentric subpliciform corru- 
gations and very faint radiating stric at the broader end, rather 
less manifest ones on the narrower end; intermediate surface 
nearly smooth to the eye, but under the lens (the epidermis being 
removed) marked with radiating incised lines. Lower extremity 
of the peculiarly short hinder side angularly prominent, dorsal 
slope abrupt. Anterior end subangulately rounded. Ventral 
margin crenulated within, much arcuated, rather suddenly rising 
behind. Beaks sharply prominent. Lunular area undefined, not 
prominent, and as well as the simple, somewhat flattened front 
dorsal region merely coarsely wrinkled by the lines of growth. 
Hinge-margin rather narrow: teeth as in xucleus.—The N. ar- 
gentea of Brown (Lllust. Conch. G. B., p. 85, pl. 33, f. 14, 15) is 
probably the fry of this species. 


8. N. proxima, Say, f. 118, 119.—T. subtrigona, valde in- 
eequilateralis et obliqua, latitudine longitudinem fere equante,

Margo dorsalis anticus valde declivis, rectiusculus. Nates erose. 
Lunula haud prominens, sulco tenui (in adultis) circumscripta, 
haud divaricatim insculpta. Margo cardinalis latus—Var. T. 
perobliqua, cute olivacea, lunula haud circumscripta.—Subtrian- 
gular, very oblique, nearly if not quite as broad as long, ventricose, 
clothed with a thin glossy olivaceous ash-coloured epidermis, when 
adult smooth except for the pliciform wrinkles of increase, which 
are often conspicuous on the dorsal regions, and some very faint 
radiating strie, which are most perceptible below posteriorly. 
Ventral margin crenated, much arcuated, much rising behind, so 
as to cut off without angularity the posterior corner. Front 
dorsal slope straightish, produced, very decided. Beaks almost 
terminal, peculiarly inflected, always eroded. Lunular region not 
prominent, defined by a thin groove (in the adult only), not diver- 
gently sculptured. Front dorsal area rather sunken. Hinge-margin 
broad ; teeth remarkably high, curved, and sharp.—Var. More 
olive-coloured, peculiarly oblique; lunular region undefined.— 


152 NUCULIDA. 


The surface, on the removal of the epidermis, appears faintly ra- 
diatingly striated, and the teeth, in the adult, are about twenty- 
two on one side and eleven on the other; these strie are much 
more manifest in the fry, which are provided, as usual, with a 
much smaller number of teeth. AJl the specimens I have seen 
named “ radiata, Dekay,” appear to be the young of this species, 
but the furrow represented in his figure I have never descried (ex- 
cept as an accident of growth) m any Nucula. 


9. N. pautiuna, 4. Adams, f. 131, 132.—T. minuta, perob- 
liqua, subovata, longitudine latitudinem paululum superante, valde 
ineeqnilateralis, ventricosa, cute pallidé olivaced induta, undique 
sublevigata. Hxtremitas lateris antici producti subattenuati ro- 
tundata; latus posticum, acclivitate obliqué marginis ventralis 
crenati et arcuati, inferné rotundato-excisum.—Minute, very ob- 
lique, subovate, not quite so broad as long, ventricose, mode- 
rately strong, very inequilateral, with a polished pale olive-coloured 
epidermis, everywhere smoothish, yet with irregular concentric 
incremental sulci: extremity of the produced and tapering an- 
terior side rounded. Ventral margin crenated within, arched, 
rising behind so as to obliquely round off the posterior corner.— 
The same poor specimen has served Mr. Adams and myself for 
description, and no definite characters can be derived from it. Its 
beaks are eroded, but apparently much reflected: the lunular area 
is not either decidedly prominent or clearly defined. 


10. N. mirrauis, Hinds, f.144.—T. conoidalis, valida, ventri- 
cosa (in exemplis adultis), levis, cute nitidissimé flava induta,

volute, eminentes. Area tuberculis transversim costellata. Lu- 
nula haud prominens, concavé definita. Cartilago perobliqua.— 
Longitudinally conoidal, ventricose when adult, with a polished 
olivaceous-yellow epidermis, smooth. Anterior side greatly pro- 
duced, its extremity rotundately subcuneiform ; ventral margin 
arched, crenated, and rising behind so as to obliquely round off the 
corner of the very short and nearly straight posterior side. Beaks 
very acute, prominent, involute, not touching. Front dorsal region 
barred across by short costellar tubercles that do not extend far 
from the but little curved margin. Lunular region excavately 
defined, not prominent : cartilage very oblique.—The typical form 
of métralis is rather sharper at the beaks and more slender at the 
anterior tip than in the more swollen gzda.

—Oblique, somewhat ovate, for the most part longer than broad, 
very strong, evenly ventricose, clothed with an unpolished oliva- 
ceous ash-coloured epidermis, grooved throughout ; grooves con- 
centric, shelving, rather close. Ventral margin more or less 
arcuated, crenated within, rising behind so as to rotundately cut 
off the posterior corner. Grooves of the dorsal regions somewhat 
obsolete ; their intervals densely marked with most minute diver- 
gent striz ; lunular area much projecting. Beaks usually eroded. 
—The cartilage-support protrudes greatly, and slants but little. 
The teeth seem to average about sixteen and ten. Hven the dorsal 
edges are crenulated, yet very delicately. 


13. N. putcura, Hinds, f. 146.—“ T. elliptica, solida, sulcata ;

—It is said by Mr. Hinds, from whose works both figure and 
description have been copied, to resemble the fossil Duchaste/ii, but 
to differ by its striated lanule and uninterrupted lamellae. 


14. N. eisum, Sowerby, f. 183.—T. minima, valde inzequila-

moderately ventricose, clothed with a rather glossy yet not polished 
pale or cinereous-olive epidermis, rather obliquely oval. General 
surface (the umbonal region excepted) densely wrinkled concen- 
trically ; the corrugations raised, narrower than their intervals, 
which (under a powerful lens) are, on the shorter side at least, 
obscurely and finely lyrated across; when highly magnified, too,

both the front dorsal region and the lunular area are manifestly 
though faintly and minutely marked with divergent strie. Hx-~ 
tremity of the produced anterior side rounded, its slope moderate. 
Posterior side excessively short, not angulated below, but cut off, 
as it were, in an oblique curve, by the much arcuated ventral 
margin, which rises behind and is finely crenulated within. Lu- 
nular area undefined, rather prominent. 


15. N. pecuivis, Hinds, f. 147.—*T. parva, obliqué elliptica,

Paytensis. Sculptura nonnunquam ad umbones obsoleta ; lire 
radiantes, conspicue ; lunula inferné paululum eminentior, aliquan- 
tumque angulariter planulata——Resembling eagua, but larger, 
rather more tapering at the front extremity, and more rounded off 
at the posterior ventral corner; the epidermis olivaceous ; the 
grooves much closer, the radiating sculpture almost obsolete ; the 
ventral margin less arcuated.—The type (a single individual) looks 
like a large exigua, but is more compressed in proportion, and the 
sulci are much closer on its nuclear portion than upon that shell. 
The lunular area is neither impressed nor groove-defined.— Var. ? 
NV. Paytensis, Adams, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1856, p. 51. Sculpture 
sometimes obsolete on the umboes, the radiating lyre very dis- 
tinct ; lunular area rather more angularly depressed, and slightly 
more projecting below (f. 160, 161). 


17. N. extaua, Sowerby, f. 186.—T. minuta, obliqueé ovata,

decidedly longer than broad, ventricose, of a rather glossy yellowish- 
white: disks marked throughout with regular coarse concentric 
grooves, which are distant, shelving, and radiatingly decussated by 
finer strie: dorsal regions barred across; the front costelle dis-

angulo circumscripta: angulus divaricatim sculptus.—Truncated- 
oval, subventricose, with a dull dirty-yellow epidermis, everywhere 
finely and somewhat arcuatedly ribbed : the front and hinder ribs, 
which are rounded and narrower than their intervals, diverging 
from each other at acute angles just behind the middle of the 
shell ; a similar double divergence along the angular circumference 
of the large and strongly impressed lunule, which latter is barred 
across by much denser and smaller ribs. Anterior side produced, 
somewhat tapering, and well rounded at its extremity ; its dorsal 
slope rather slight, convex. Posterior side short, obliquely rec- 
tangular below (in the adult). Ventral margin much arched in 
its anterior ascent, more or less retuse (with age) just before the 
end of its posterior ascent. No defined front dorsal area, but the 
ribs are there denser and more numerous. Umboes rather pro- 
minent ; beaks obliquely coiled, recurved. 


20. N. prvartcata, Hinds, f. 151.—T. elliptica, anticé (i.e.

gular above (the dorsal slopes being straight and decided), glossy, 
everywhere concentrically costellated ; the interstitial sulci, except 
perhaps on the undefined and inconspicuous dorsal areas, adorned 
with fine an‘d numerous radiating lyre. Hinder side not so short 
as usual, subangular and prominent at its extremity. Ventral 
margin regularly arcuated, not sinuated, coarsely crenated within. 
Beaks peculiarly high, and laterally compressed. Hinge-margin 
broad: teeth few (ten and six) ; pit minute, perpendicular.—Pos-

margin arcuated, entire, much and somewhat more straightly 
rising behind, without posterior retusion. Beaks elevated, acute. 
Lunule rather large, impressed, angularly defined, scarcely pouting. 
Front dorsal region undefined. Cartilage not horizontal. Teeth 
numerous.—D’Orbigny’s types of this species, which remind us 
of nitida and convewa, are in sorry condition, without epidermis, 
and worn smooth. ‘There seem some close lamellar wrinkles upon 
the lunule, but of this I am not sure.

postico rectiusculo angulum valde obtusum formans. Nates 
parvee, acute, haud prominentes. Lunula magna, concentricé 
subrugosa, planulata, angulo definita. Area inconspicua.—Var. 
Extremitas antica tantum rotundata; postica aliquantum promi- 
nens magisque angulata.—Very oblique, truncated-elliptic, strong, 
subyentricose, smooth, with a pale-yellowish or ashy-olive shining 
epidermis. Anterior side tapering from above to a rounded ex- 
tremity ; its convex dorsal edge at first but little, subsequently 
decidedly sloping. Posterior margin almost perpendicular, form- 
ing a very obtuse angle with the arcuated and entire ventral edge, 
which rises without sinuation, more peculiarly behind. Beaks 
small, acute, not projecting. Lunule large, more or less wrinkled 
concentrically, angular at its circumference from its flatness. No 
marked escutcheon. Hinge-margin, teeth, and cartilage not re- 
markable. Nacre silvery-white—/Var. Anterior end well rounded, 
not tapering from above only: posterior end more angulately pro- 
minent.—This may possibly be the oddiqua of the ‘ Voyage de la 
Venus,’

Superficies interna albo-margaritacea. Dentes circiter 15-6.— 
Closely resembling convera, but decidedly thin, less ventricose, 
only faintly (rather remotely) wrinkled concentrically ; the lunule 
rather larger, subangulately defined. Epidermis polished, greenish 
ash-coloured: ventral margin not indented near the hinder end. 
Umboes not prominent. Cartilage not horizontal: nacre white ; 
teeth about fifteen and six, sharp, vaulted, moderately high. 


31. N. Aierensts, Forbes, f. 154.—“T. ovata, subdepressa, 
levi, ineequilaterali, anticé rotundata, postice angulaté, marginibus 
internis levibus.’—-A single valve (the only specimen now at- 
tainable) was given to the author by Professor Forbes, and from 
it can only be gleaned as an addition to his most inadequate de- 
scription, that the shell is subventricose at the umboes, the epi- 
dermis of a polished oil-yellow, the dorsal areas wholly unsculp- 
tured, the lunule concavely defined, the beaks very prominent, 
and the ventral margin much arcuated. For other details of shape

(certainly not strictly ovate, and by no means inequilateral for its 
genus,) the reader is referred to our engraving of that example, 
which closely resembles ¢enuis and inflata, but appears distinct. 


32. N. M‘Anprar, Hanley, f. 143.—T. angusté subovata, in

haud circumscripte ; lunule labiis carinato-protrusis.— Produced 
subovate, very thin, much compressed, except on the umboes, with 
a polished cinereous epidermis, everywhere smooth. Anterior side 
rotundately obtusangular above, the dorsal edge being horizontal 
and straightish, well rounded below ; posterior side long for the 
genus, rotundately acutangular, the peak subcentral, the dorsal 
slope straightish, not abrupt: chief breadth subcentral. Ventral 
margin entire, much arcuated, much rising behind. Beaks not 
much projecting, yet conspicuous from their acuteness. Dorsal 
areas undefined, yet somewhat concavely impressed. Lunular 
lips carinately pouting.—The hinge resembles that of ¢enwis, but 
the teeth seem scarcely so numerous. I doubt, however, the ma- 
turity of the examples.

citer 15—7.—Very thin, compressed (even at the umboes), about 
half as long again as broad, chiefly expanded anteriorly at about 
one-third the entire length, semioval in front, rotundately biangu- 
lated behind, with a polished epidermis, that ranges in tint from 

* The WN. tenuis of Gould (Invert. Massach. p. 105, f. 64.—Dekay, N. York Moll. 
181), described from scarcely matured examples, is exactly intermediate in characters 
between the typical ¢evwis and the boreal inflata. It is more produced lengthways, 
less swollen, and usually greener than the latter; more trapezoidal, less arcuated 
ventrally, and less rising and projecting at the lower posterior corner than the former. 
Gould states that the manuscript name /wcida was attached to the specimens in the 


Philadelphia Museum, and it is doubtful whether it should be regarded as a distinct 
species, or as a mere varietal link with tnflata.

olivaceous-yellow to ashy-olive, smooth, yet with strongly marked 
wrinkles of increase. Ventral margin entire, arcuated (the arch 
very prominent just before the middle), rising somewhat more 
straightly behind, so as to form a rounded-off obtuse angle with 
the straightish or somewhat convex, rather abrupt posterior edge. 
Front dorsal edge just at first straightish, and subhorizontal, then 
much curved and descending. Posterior side very short, projec- 
ting below. Dorsal areas wholly undefined ; lunular lips pouting. 
Beaks very small, bent much forward, scarcely prominent, yet 
conspicuous from their acuteness. Front hinge-margin sunken 
internally. Teeth (in the adult) about fifteen and seven or sixteen 
and eight ; the front ones scarcely vaulted, and near the extremity 
compressed and seated on the inner edge. When not quite mature 
a rounded off, very obtuse, angle is exhibited at the front dorsal 
corner.

—Closely resembling éenwis, but more trapeziform, ventricose or 
tumid, swollen and projecting at the umboes, usually only one- 
fourth longer than broad; the epidermis ranging from dirty yel- 
lowish-green to olive-brown. Ventral margin neither particularly 
swollen before the middle, nor peculiarly rising behind. Posterior 
side abruptly truncated, not projecting below. Lunular region 
not strictly defined, but flattened at the circumference. Teeth 
and hinge-margin not peculiar. 


35. N. Betuoriu, A. Adams, f. 128.—T. tenuis, subventricosa,

pansa, aliquantum subimpressa.—Anterior half obliquely semi- 
elliptic, posterior half subrectangular above, rotundately broadly 
subangulated below; thin, subventricose, with a very highly 
polished epidermis, which is yellow dorsally, posteriorly, and, for 
the most part, ventrally, before the middle, and is greenish-olive

elsewhere, smooth on the umboes, but elsewhere with puckered 
wrinkles of increase, which are very conspicuous below. Front 
dorsal edge horizontal or rising, at first almost straight. Posterior 
side almost excised, the hinder edge being almost perpendicular, 
and the beaks, which, when not eroded, are acute and prominent, 
being almost terminal. Ventral margin entire, subarcuated in 
the middle, rising convexly at both ends. Lunular region much 
and closely puckered, not strictly defined, yet concavely impressed 
at its circuinference, and often marked with a few irregular radi- 
ating incised lines. Front dorsal region expanded, disposed to 
be indented.—The hinge appears to resemble that of fenuis, but 
T have not examined any example which was uninjured in that 
respect. 


36. N. putparnoponta,* Mighels, f. 138, 139.—T. minima,

integer, modic’ arcuatus. Nates valde prominentes, seepius erosee. 
Lunula vix definita, rudé et concentricé corrugata, valde prominens. 
Area inconspicua.—Muinute, of a rather oblique abbreviated ovate- 
triangular shape, ventricose, especially behind, clothed with a po- 
lished olivaceous-green or olivaceous-yellow epidermis, concentri- 
cally divided near the lower margin by broad shallow sulci into 
flattened and somewhat shelving folds: the sulci here and there 
perceptible (but not regular) on the umbonal region likewise. 
Anterior extremity subangulately rounded below: posterior edge 
almost perpendicular. Ventral margin entire, moderately arcuated, 
rising behind so as to obliquely round off the posterior corner. 
Beaks much elevated, usually eroded. Lunular region very pro- 
minent, undefined (at most a little impressed at its margin), 
coarsely wrinkled concentrically. Front dorsal area undefined. 
Hinge-margin broad: cartilage not at all horizontal: teeth three 
or four, and seven to ten.

come from the Philippines, and described from Mr. Cuming’s collection, must, I 
suspect, have been lost ; for the three specimens named in that cabinet (f. 156) belong 
to this species, and do not agree with their description. As Mr. Hinds omitted to 
figure it, and the definition is wholly inadequate, the species may be regarded as too 
uncertain to be retained.

SOLENELLA, Sowerby. 


Gen. Char. Longer than broad, not nacreous, gaping at both 
ends, with a prominent external ligament, and a distinct pallial 
sinus. Hinge with numerous sharp high teeth on one or both 
sides. 

Sect. I. SoneneLta proper. Species 1 and 2.—Oval, thin, 
unsculptured, with a polished epidermis; dorsal margin excised 
for the ligament: pallial simus very large. Anterior side with 
very few teeth, but a blade-like continuation of the inner margin. 

Sect. IL. Nutio, Adams. Species 3.—Sculptured, the epidermis 
unpolished. Anterior gape shght. Teeth ina straight line, nearly 
equally numerous on both sides. 


1. S. Norrisu, Sowerby, f. 1, 2.—T. subovata, subeequilateralis, 
subcompressa, cute nitidissima olivacea induta, sublevigata, posticé

mitas lateris antici brevioris angustiorisque, in medio retusa, 
superné rotundato-subangulata, inferné oblique rotundata. Margo 
dorsalis uterque vix declivis, antice convexiusculus ; ventralis con- 
vexus, anticé magis acclivis. Are dorsales nulla. Dentes an- 
tici permultii—Var. Latior, brevior, rugis incrementi conspicuis ; 
extremitas antica tantum attenuato-rotundata: margo dorsalis 
utrinque magis declivis—Subovate, somewhat compressed, gaping 
very much at both ends, with a polished olivaceous epidermis that 
ranges in tint from yellowish to cinereous, merely marked by 
concentric wrinkles of increase, which in aged examples become 
almost fold-like near the lower margin; devoid of umbonal ridge 
or defined dorsal areas; marked, in the adult, with an almost 
obsolete shallow broad indented ray behind, and a still fainter one 
in front, at whose terminations the ventral margin is indented. 
Extremity of the anterior side, which is rather, yet decidedly, the 
shorter and narrower, retuse in the middle, subangularly rounded 
above, obliquely rounded-off below : posterior end unsymmetrically 
rounded. Dorsal slopes slight; front one plano-convyex, rather 
the more decided: hinder one excavated for the ligament. 
Ventral margin convex, more rising in front. Teeth extremely 
fine, very numerous in front, scarcely any behind.—V/ar. drevior. 
Shorter, broader, and with the slopes consequently rather more 
decided ; wrinkles of growth numerous and conspicuous : anterior 
extremity merely attenuatedly rounded.

lata, vel rotundato-subrhomboidalis. Margo dorsalis anticus con- 
vexus satisque declivis: posticus brevis vixque declivis. Dentes 
postici permultii—Suboval, rather compressed, much gaping at 
both ends, white under a polished yellowish olive-coloured epi- 
dermis, devoid of umbonal ridge or defined dorsal areas, merely 
marked with concentric wrinkles of increase, with the indented 
rays and their terminal retusions almost imperceptible. Anterior 
side very decidedly the longer, tapering to a symmetrically rounded 
extremity: posterior extremity broadish, either rotundately sub- 
biangulated or faintly rhomboidally rounded, the hinder end being 
the more projecting. Front dorsal slope convex, moderately de- 
cided; hinder one very slight and short, excavated for the liga- 
ment. Ventral margin convex, curving up moderately in front. 
Teeth rather fine, numerous behind, scarcely any in front.—The 
most striking peculiarity is, that the anterior side, which is the 
shorter in Worrisiz, is in this species the longer. 

8. S. ausrratis, Quoy and Gaim., {. 32.—T. subrhombea, 
subineequilateralis, ad umbones ventricosa, inferné compressiuscula,

spicuam) tertiam superficiei implens, in medio retusa. Extremitas 
lateris antici brevioris superné angulata, inferné oblique rotundata ; 
postica superné angulata, in medio incurvata, inferné rotundata. 
Margo dorsalis anticé rectiusculus vixque declivis ; posticé con- 
caviusculus et acclivis; ventralis in medio subretusus.—Sub- 
rhombic, more or less ventricose at the umbonal region, plano- 
convex below it, obliquely divided into two areas by an umbonal 
ridge, which parts off a posterior triangle that occupies a full 
third of the entire surface, and is retuse in the middle, gaping 
considerably at the hinder extremity: dull-white under a rather 
dull yellowish ash-coloured fugacious epidermis, everywhere (the 
dorsal areas excepted) roughened by rather distant concentric 
raised striz, otherwise unsculptured. Anterior side scarcely three- 
sevenths of the entire length, angulated above by the almost ho- 
rizontal straightish dorsal edge, obliquely rounded below. Pos- 
terior dorsal edge concavely elevated, and so produced that the 
angulated upper termination projects far beyond the rounded hinder 
ventral extremity : posterior edge incurved in the middle. Ventral 
margin subparallel to the dorsal, convex or subarcuated, except 
in the centre, where it is somewhat retuse. Lips of the escutcheon, 
which is sublinear and plano-concave, pouting. Lunule very 
narrow, if any.

+ As the engraving of this shell would hardly warrant this synonym, I subjoin a 
description of D’Orbigny’s types, which now rest in our national Museum.— 

N. semrornata, D’ Orb. Amér. Mérid. 624. pl. 84. f. 27, 28, 29.—Somewhat ob- 
liquely ovate, much longer than broad, subventricose, with a shining ashy-olive epi- 
dermis, concentrically traversed, towards the ventral margin, especially in front, by 
somewhat wavy and rather irregular riblets, and adorned on the dorsal regions with 
divergent curved close costellar strie ; otherwise unsculptured, yet with traces of the 
radiating crenulz near the shorter end. Anterior side much produced, its tip well 
rounded and slightly tapering; its dorsal edge convex. Posterior side extremely 
short, its lower corner cut off by the oblique rise of the arched and finely crenulated 
ventral margin. Posterior edge almost perpendicular, convex. Dorsal areas unde- 
fined. +. San Blas, N. Patagonia. 


MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


HARPA. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum gasteropodum, testa subcanalifera, ventri- 
cosa, ovali, costis longitudinalibus reflexis plus minusve regularibus 
superné angulatis et acuminatis ornata; columella et spire parte 
encaustis ; spiri brevi, coronata, apice mammillati; apertura 
magna, anticé emarginata, labio externo reflexo, labio interno 
tenuiter expanso; columella planulaté, anticé acuta, plica cana- 
lifera costata ad dorsum reflexa. 

The peculiar form and reflected ribs of the Harps distinguish 
them from the shells of every other genus. In early stages of 
growth the shells are striated, but the strie become obliterated 
with age. 


Species. 


1. H. cosrata, Linn., f. 4, 5, 23.—H. inflata, rosea, super 
costas albo-fasciaté, inter costas longitudinaliter striata, fusco 
sparsim picta; costis crebris, superné vix trilobatis, ad angulum 
acuté productis, tunc depressis, ad spiram in culmine plicato ele- 
vatis ; apertura lata, flavida, labio interno incrassato, prope me- 
dium castaneo maculato.—Linneus having described a species 
resembling the “ Buccinum Harpa,’ but with crowded ribs, I 
agree with the author of ‘Ipsa Linnei Conchylia’ that we may 
conclude this shell, usually known as ZH. imperialis, to be the one 
intended. 


2. H. venrricosa, Lamés., f. 18-22, 25.—H. testa inflata, 
subquadrata, inter costas longitudinaliter striata, strigis undulatis 
acutis castaneis laqueata ; costis extantibus, fusco et albo fasciatis, 
superne angulatis, plerumque laté reflexis, prope angulum subtri- 
lobatis, acuté carinatis; spird anfractibus nigro encaustis ; apertur’ 
magna, superné subquadrata ; labio interno supra, medio et infra 
fusco-nigrescente maculato.—This common but beautiful species 
is distinguished from others by a certain squareness of outline in 

VOL. III. U 


170 HARPA. 


the upper part of the whorls, and by the square and pointed flu- 
tings of colour between the ribs. Fig. 21 is a close-ribbed variety 
of this species, and in fig. 18 the markings have become irregular 
and zebra-like. Tig. 25 represents the young shell. 


3. H. nosis, Rumph.,f. 1, 2, 3.—H. testa subcylindrica, inter 
costas levigati, maculis fuscis et rubris seriatim picta; costis pla- 
nulatis, latis, pallidé roseis, transversé nigro-lineatis, ad angulum 
acutis, infra crenulatis ; apertura mediocri, labio externo infra 
crenulato.—Narrower and more cylindrical than H. ventricosa, 
with no dividing points at the upper part of the ribs. Aperture 
rather narrowing towards the base. The ribs and outer lip of the 
aperture are crenulated at the lower part. 


4. H. nasiium, Mart., f. 14-17, and 24.—H. testa solida, 
obliqué ovali, superné declivi, carnea, rubro et fusco fasciata, inter 
costas strigis undulatis laqueaté; costis crassis, decumbentibus, 
plerumque ineequalibus, fasciatis, nonnunquam lineis nigris quasi- 
articulatis ; spira elevata, encausta, declivi, levi; columella maculis 
spadiceis magnis pict’.—Our distinct and almost specific variety, 
f. 16, of which we have only seen two specimens, namely, Mr. 
Juming’s and our own, is the same as figured in the third volume 
of Martini, under the name H. nabliwm. Chemnitz afterwards 
figured a bad specimen of the ordinary variety as “ Buccinum 
Harpa antiquata.” There are many beautiful varieties of H. na- 
blium (known as H. conoidalis) which pass into each other by in- 
finite gradations. The slope of the spire, the more obliquely oval 
form, and other points distinguish them all from /. ventricosa. 


5. H. arricunaris, Lamh., f.9, 10, 11.—H. testa inflata, 
ovali-ventricosi, inter costas grisescente pallidé maculis undulatis 
ornati ; costis regularibus, pallidé fulvis, lineis latis transversis 
duplicatis quasi articulatis ; aperturd magné, labio interno colore 
castaneo nigricante laté infuso; spira breviuscula, acute coronata. 
—This shell is hghter, more ventricose, and less oblique than any 
of the varieties of H. nablium ; it is of a greyish colour, the spire 
is shorter, less enamelled, and more sharply crowned with rib- 
points. ‘The markings between the ribs are pale, while those upon 
them are very strong, and the colour in front of the shell is uni- 
formly spread, instead of being in patches, as in the last species. 


6. H. cancetnata, Chemn., f. 26.—H. testa parva, pallida, 
transversé lineis elevatis duplicatim striati; costis distantibus 
tenuibus superné acutis ; spira brevi, apice elevato acuto.—<As the 
young of all the species of Harpa are spirally striated, I am not 
certain of this being a distinct species, but more than half suspect 


HARPA. wal 


it may be the young of H. articularis, in very early whorls of 
which may be observed a similar duplicate striation. I am glad 
of an opportunity of figuring this unique specimen in Mr. Hanley’s 
collection, which might have been the very original of Chemnitz’s 
figure. 

7. H. Rivortana, Lesson, f. 12, 18.—H. testi subangulata, 
paululum turbinata, grised, inter costas minuté fasciatim et undu- 
Jatim fusco strigaté ; costis decumbentibus, angustis, interruptim 
longitudinaliter nigro-lineatis, superné triangulatis, ad angulum 
supremum acuminatis, anticé undulatim crenatis; spira brevi, an- 
fractu ultimo solum encausto.—This species, /Z. crenata of Swain- 
son, Is unquestionably distinct from H. rosea, which, besides the 
difference in colour, is not at all angular or turbinated above, and 
has the spire much more produced. 


8. H. roswa, AZein, f. 6, 7, 8.—H. testa ovali, subangustata, 
rose, inter costas minute fasciatim et undulatim fusco strigata et 
maculis magnis rubro pict; costis decumbentibus, angustis, in- 
terruptim longitudinaliter fusco-lineatis, superné subspinosis, anticé 
undulatim crenulatis ; spira elevata, anfractibus rotundis ; labio in- 
terno tenuissimé encausto.—More oval than H. Rivoliana (Cre- 
nata, Sw.) and more rounded at the upper part of the whorls and 
ribs. The pinky tint and rosy patches between the ribs are 
constant, although the dark bands in var. f. 6 give a rich purplish 
aspect to the shell. 


9. H. minor, Rumph., Mart., f. 27, 28, 29.—H. testA angusta, 
fulva seu pallidé grisea, inter costas fusco seu purpureo undulatim 
minute strigata; costis plerumque inequalibus, superné acute 
nodosis, transverse creberrimé fusco-lineatis ; spird elevata, anfracti- 
bus coronatis ;—variat costis crebris.—The more volutiform variety 
with numerous ribs is regarded as distinct by some collectors, but 
the varieties are so numerous and the gradations so subtle that I 
cannot by any means adopt the separation. I am even doubtful 
as to the propriety of separating the next. 


10. H. crassa, Mérch, f. 30, 31.—H. testa H. minori simili, 
sed crassiore ; costis superné angulatis.—The only tangible dif- 
ference between this and the last is the angle or shoulder formed 
on the upper part of the ribs. It is rather conventionally than 
scientifically that I should adopt a distinct name for this variety 
or possibly “ incipient species.” 

ll. H. cracitis, Brod., f. 32, 33.—H. testé H. minori simili, 
sed tenuiore, pallida, elongata, transversé minutissimé striat4, pos- 
ticé angulata ; spird vix coronaté.—This probable species departs 


172 HARPA. 


from the typical form of /7. minor in the opposite direction to that 
of H. crassa, being elongated, thin, and narrow, with the aperture 
slightly contracted towards the spire and widened in front. 


12. H. virernatts, J. Gray, f. 34, 35.—H. testa alba, 77. crass 
simili, sed spird breviore et magis declivi ; costis obtusis, superné 
angulatis, interstitiis unicostatis—I am indebted for a drawing of 
this unique shell, which I have seen, to the kindness of J. Gray, 
Ksq., of Glasgow, who has had it in his collection for some years. 
It may quite possibly prove a variety of ZZ. crassa, but the penulti- 
mate whorl is less elevated, and an intercostal riblet, which occurs 
accidentally and irregularly in some species, assumes a rather re- 
gular and formal aspect in the more advanced part of this interest- 
ing shell.

MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


GALEOMMA, Turton. 


Genus.—Molluscum acephalum, bimusculosum ; testi bivalvi, 
transversim ovata, terminibus subacutis omnino divaricatim striata, 
striis dorsalibus divaricatim adscendentibus; valvis ad marginem 
ventralem laté hiantibus ; cardine edentulo seu dentibus utraque 
valva duobus parvis, quorum und nonnunquam duplicaté; lga- 
mento parvo, lineari, interno; pall impressione integra. 

In distinguishing between the species of this genus and those of 
Scrntitta, | have thought the best guide would be the presence 
of sculpture in the former and its absence in the latter, and have 
therefore displaced the four species included by M. Deshayes in 
his division of Galeomma, described as “lisses et brillantes a 
ouverture médiocre,” namely, ambigua, splendida, polita, and Lay- 
ardi. The Galeomme lie in mud and sand under stones, with 
their valves spread open. 

In the following descriptions, I have chosen rather to attend to 
comparative characters than to repeat these which are more pos?- 
five. I adopt this method in concurrence with the following sen- 
iments expressed by Buffon :— 

“Tt is only by comparing that we can judge, and our know- 
ledge turns entirely on the relation that things bear to those which 
resemble them.” 


Species of Galeomma. 
Plate 234. 


1. G. Turront (f. 1, 2, 3, 4), Sows.—Testa oblonga, alba, ad 
latera oblique subtruncata, terminis acutis, striis elevatis duplicatis 
et divaricatis moniliferis sculpta, striis ad marginem dorsalem ad- 
scendentibus, margine ventrali validé hiante; cardine edentulo. 
Obs. The pointed ends and wide hiatus of this white British shell 
are wellknown. The sculpture consists of beaded strie diverging 
in pairs and rising upwards towards the dorsal edge. 

VOL, III. x 


174 GALEOMMA. 


2. G. macrocuisma (f.7, 8), Desh.—Testa pallidé fulvaé, quam 
G. Turtoni breviore ; terminis magis obtusis; valvis medio coare- 
tatis; dentibus nullis. Ods. This is the Philippine analogue of 
our British species, but shorter and more truncated in form. 


3. G. arcentea (f. 13, 14), Deskh.—TestA mimuté striata, quam 
G. Turtoni magis compressi et ad terminos truncata, dentibus 
minutis; intus quasi-argented. Ods. Much flattened and more 
truncated at the ends than G. Turton, with the inside shining 
like silver, and the outside very minutely striated. 


4, G. rormosa (f. 11), Dess.—Testa ovali, oblonga, aurantio- 
fulva, subcompressd ; terminis acutis; striis medio evamidis, ad 
marginem dorsalem adscendentibus ; dentibus parvis. Ods. This 
species also approaches the typical form, but the strise are very 
faint on the body of the shell, which is of an orange-brown tint. 


5. G. iviata (f. 5, 6), Desh.—Testd fulva, inflata ; terminis 
rotundatis, medio coarctato ; latere postico majore, striis minutis 
medio subevanidis ; dentibus parvis. 


6. G. paucistriata (f. 9), Desh.—Testd albidd, subinflata, 
subovali, medio coarctata; terminis obtusis, stris numerosis di- 
vergentibus, ad marginem dorsalem adscendentibus. Ods, The 
sculpture is regular but much more close than in G. Turtoni. It 
is a thin shell, obtuse at the edges. 


7. G.inpecora (f. 15), Desh.—Testa albida, tenui, subinflata ; 
striis distantibus, subevanidis. Ods. This is like the preceding, 
but is rather more equilateral, the sculpture far less distinct, and 
the valves not so much inflated. 


8. G. aneusra (f. 10), Desh.—Testi quam G. paucicostata 
angustiore. Oés. In sculpture similar to G. paucicostata, but 
more straight and narrow. 


9. G. cunoroteuca (f. 12), Desh.—Testa pallidé aurantia, 
ovali, medio coarctata; hiatu angusto; striis subevanidis. Oés. 
The melon tint and general proportions of this species bring it 
very near to Secntilla ambigua, but on careful examination, it 1s 
found to be striated. 


MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


SCINTILLA. 


Genus.—Molluscum acephalum, bimusculosum ; test bivalvi, 
polita, transversim subovataé ; terminis rotundis seu subtruncatis ; 
margine ventrali clauso vel paululum hiante, margine dorsali non- 
nunquam hiante ; cardine dentibus utrique valvd duobus, quorum 
postico nonnunquam duplicato, ligamento parvo, lineari, interno ; 
pallii impressione integra. Ods. Very few of the species gape in 
front, and none so widely as in the true Galeomme. Some of 
them are open at the ends and dorsal margin. When living, the 
valves lie spread open, with the mantle turned back over the edges 
and often a great part of the surface, which probably gives them 
the brilliant polish by which they are distinguished from Galeomme. 


Species of Scintilla. 
Plates 234, 235. 
Sect. I. Species with an hiatus in the ventral margin. 


1. Sc. Layarot (f. 20), Desh.—Testa tenuissima, alba, com- 
pressi, subequilatera ; terminis snbtruncatis ; margine ventrali 
hiante. Ods. It is like a true Galeomma, excepting that it has no 
sculpture. 


2. Sc. sprenpipa (f. 14, 15).—Testd politissima, quam Se. 
Layardi altiore ; latere antico subtruncato. O43. Much wider from 
apex to base than Se. Layard’, which otherwise it resembles. 

3. Sc. pourra (f. 19), Desh.—Testi alba, compressi, tenui, 
oblonga, subquadrata, concentricé undulata; latere antico breviore, 
truneato. Ods. A rather flat, thin white shell, truncated at both 
extremities, slightly open in front. 


175 SCINTILLA. 


4. Sc. ampieua (f. 1, 2, 8, 4).—Testa pallidé aurantia, tenui, 
oblong’, depresso punctulato, prismatici, subdiaphana, subin- 
flata ; latere antico subtruncato, postico rotundato, majore ; margine 
ventrali hiatu mediocri; dente antico in valva simistra bifida. 
Obs. The substance of this shell is so far diaphanous that the 
muscular impressions can be seen on the outside. ‘The ventral 
opening is not large. 


5. Sc. auranwraca (f. 5), Desh.—Testa aurantid, quam Se. am- 
digua magis elongata ; hiatu parvo. Ods. The narrowness of this 
shell is hardly sufficient to distinguish it from the preceding. 
The hiatus is, however, smaller. 


6. Sc. patiiputa (f. 6), Desh.—Testd pallidi, Se. ambigue 
simili, sed margine ventrali vix hiante. Os. The very small ven- 
tral opening is the principal difference between this and Se. 
ambigua. 


7. Sc. Forsusir (f. 7, 8), Des4.—Testi inflata, ovali, pallidé 
aurantid; latere antico paululum breviore ; subtruncato margine 
ventrali arcuato, vix hiante. Ods. A little more regularly oval, 
and a little more equilateral than Se. ambigua. 


8. Sc. Bornugnsis (f. 10), Desh.—Testi albidd, concentrice 
substriata, subinflata, latere postico majore, latere antico obliqué 
subtruncato; margine ventrali subcontracto. Ods. Like Sc. 
Adamsii, but more inflated, slightly contracted at the ventral edge, 
and faintly striated or undulated concentrically on the surface. 


9. Sc. rospa (f. 11), Dest.—Testa rosea, polita, inflata, clausa, 
oblonga; latere postico longiore et latiore, latere antico parvo, 
declivi. Obs. Of a beautiful rose tint; this shell is also remark- 
able for the smallness of its anterior as compared with its poste- 
rior side. 


10. Sc. puptca (f. 12), Desh.—Testi Se. rosee@ simili, sed 
latere antico subquadrato; margine ventrali paululum aperto. 
Obs. More square and truncated than Se. rosea, with a very shght 
opening in the ventral margin. 


11. Se. Ruecruzrana (f. 13). Desh.—Testd tenui, rosei-purpu- 
rescente, oblonga, latere antico truncato ; margine ventrali recto, 
clauso. Obs. A thinner and more purple shell, more straight at 
the ventral margin and truncated on the anterior side than Se. 
pudica. 


SCINTILLA. 177 


Sect. II. Species with no hiatus. 


12. Sc. Apamsi (f. 9), Desh.—Testa pallida, oblong’, com- 
press’; latere antico breviore, truncato; margine ventrali clauso, 
recto. Oss. A pale oblong species, with the margins quite closed. 


13. Sc. Owrnrr (f. 18), Desh.—Testa diaphana, alba, clausd 
fasciis concentricis opacis, oblong’, quam Sc. Borneensis breviore ; 
latere antico paulo breviore, truncato. O4s. A transparent. shell 
with opaque bands, shorter and more truncated than Se. Borneensis, 
and closed. 


14. Sc. Srraneur (f. 16), Desh— Quam Se. Owenii magis 
opaci ; margine dorsali posticé magis declivi, anticé magis elevato. 
Ods. A more opaque-white shell than Se. Oweniz, with the dorsal 


margin more sloping on the posterior, and more elevated on the 
anterior side. 


15. Sc. rapa (f. 17), Desh.—Testa lacted, ovali, inflata, postice 
rotundata, anticé vix truncata. Ods. More inflated and rounded 
than the preceding, not so truncated at the anterior side. 


16. Sc. vorutosa (f. 21), Desh.—Testa pallidissimé roseé, 
compressa, oblonga, concentricé vix undulata; latere antico breviore, 
subtruncato. Os. Flatter and more straight than the preceding 
species. 


17. Sc. canpipa (f. 33), Desh.—Testd lacted, ovali, clausa, 
subinflata ; margine ventrali subrotundo; latere postico subde- 
clivi, latere antico brevi, declivi. Ods. A milk-white oval shell, 
closed all round. 


18. Sc. renuts (f. 34), Desh.—Testé quam Se. candida lon- 
giore, rectiuscula, tenuiore, anticeé magis truncata. Ods. Slightly 


straighter, longer, thinner, and more truncated anteriorly than 
Se. candida. 


19. Sc. Juxesn (f. 42, 43), Desh.—Testa ovali-oblonga, alba, 
subdiaphana, fasctis opacioribus, subzquilateré, utrinque sub- 
truncata, paululum lhiante; margine ventrali clauso, recto. 
Obs. This fine shell is shghtly open at the extremities and dorsal 
margin. 


20. Sc. Cuminent (f. 36, 37, 38), Desh.—Testa. solida, ovali, 
alba, partim minutissimé granulati, clausi; margine undulatim 
crenulato; cardine laminato; latere antico paululum minore. 


178 SCINTILLA. 


Obs. A very curious, white, oval shell, which, although to the eye 
smooth, is minutely granulated and striated near the margin, and 
has its inner edges crenulated or undulated in a singular manner. 


21. Sc. scrntinuans (f. 44), Desh.—Testi ovali-subquadrata, 
nitente, clausi, apice et medio semipellucida, cceruled, prope mar- 
ginem opaci, crassiore, lutei; latere antico breviore; margine 
dorsali utrinque declivi. Ods. Bluish and half-transparent at the 
apex and in the centre, thicker, more opaque and yellowish to- 
wards the margin. 


22. Sc. soripuLa (f. 48, 49), Desh.—Testa ovali-subquad- 
rata, solida, pallidé fulva ; latere antico breviore ; terminis obli- 
qué subtruncatis. Ods. Similar in form to S. scintidlans, but 
not so glassy or shining, more truncated, and of the same thick- 
ness and colour throughout. 


23. Sc. ovurina (f. 47), Desh.—Testa quam Se. solidula 
magis tumida, angusté et truncata. Ods. A rather narrower, 
more tumid and more truncated shell than Se. solidula. 


24. Sc. rurcescens (f. 45, 46), Desh.—Testa alba, solida, ovali- 
subquadrata, valde inflata; margine ventrali recto; margine dorsali 
declivi; terminis truncatis; apice tumido. Ods. A very tumid 
white shell, with straight ventral margin and truncated extremities. 


25. Sc. rurema (f. 51, 52), Desh.—Testa alba, tenui, inflata ; 
latere antico brevi, truncato, latere postico tumido, rotundo; mar- 
gine dorsali elevato; margine ventrali posticé inflato, anticé con- 
tracto. Ods. This differs from Se. ¢wrgescens in being thinner and 
having the posterior side much more inflated than the anterior.

MONOGRAPH OF THE FAMILY 


FISSURELLID A. 


Genus FISSURELLA. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum gasteropodum ; test externa, patelle- 
formi, dorsum tegente, «tate ad apicem perforata, cicatrice mus- 
culari, submarginali, crescentiformi, antice interrupta. 

In the very earliest stage of growth, the shell in all Fissuredlide 
is subspiral with the margin entire. Then a passage is made for 
the anal tube by a notch or sinus in the margin. In Seutus, or 
Parmophorus, the sinus continues slightly marked to the margin 
of the adult shell. In Hmarginula it is continued in the form of 
a distinct marginal notch. In Cemoria, the margin closes round 
the notch, leaving a hole near the apex, which is left entire; in 
Rimula, the hole is left half-way towards the margin; and in 
Fissurella and the four following genera the spiral nucleus alto- 
gether disappears, leaving a hole at the apex in its place more 
or less enlarged by absorption. I adopt the proposed separation 
from Fissurella,—lst. Of Fissurellidea, because the shell is 
covered by the animal ; 2nd. Of C/ypidelia, because it is peculiar 
in form and only covers part of the animal; 3rd. Of Macrochisma 
for the last two reasons, besides the peculiar form and position of 
the foramen ; and 4th. Of Pupil/ea, on account of the insertional 
ridge of the margin. I cannot agree to separate the larger num- 
ber of remaining species under the generic name of Lucapina as 
proposed, because the crenulated margin, the forward inclination 
of the apex, the truncated internal callus and slight differences in 
the fringes of the animal’s mantle, are so much questions of degree 
that it 1s practically impossible to divide the species so as to pre- 
serve consistency in all the characters. 


184 FISSURELLID®. 


Species of Fissurella. 
Sect. I. Shells with distinct internal marginal border. 


1. nrera (f. 14), Lesson.—Testé magna, elevata, ovali, ni- 
grescente, sublievigata, striis evanidis radiata, foramine albo, mar- 
ginata, subcentrali, antice depressa, intis alb&’; margine ceruleo, 
subcrenulato, ad apicem callo interno laté crenulato. Ods. A 
broad, smooth, nearly oval species, of a dark inky colour. 


9 


2. tmBarTa (f. 25, 24), Sowb.—Ovali, conicd, anticé vix at- 
tenuata, levi, radiis rubris vel spadiceis latis radiata; aperture 
margine intis violaceo; foramine oblongo, subcentrali, intis vix 
calloso. Oés. Not so elevated as the preceding, and very brightly 
rayed with purple bands. 


3. Bripeusy (f. 21, 22, 34), Reeve.—Crassi, depressd, ob- 
onga, sublevigati fulvo-grisescente, anticé attenuata, intus alba ; 
margine lato, purpureo, levi; foramine ovali paululum infra 
medium posito, marginibus elevatis, intts calloso. Ods. Rather 
flat, attenuated in front, and of a greyish-brown colour. A very 
curious specimen in Mr. Cuming’s collection is represented (f. 22), 
in which the foramen has been completely filled up with callus, 
which usually surrounds it. The same phenomenon has very nearly 
occurred with the specimen of 7. maxima represented at f. 9. In 
both cases, the anal tube must have been bent round so as to pass 
under the side of the basal aperture. TF. 34 is a narrower variety. 


4. FULVESCENS (f. 386), Sowb.—-F. Bridgesii simili, sed flavida, 
rubro radiaté; termimibus paululum elevatis. Ods. Very like the 
preceding, but yellow, with purplish-red rays, and the ends a 
little elevated. 


5. erispa (f. 85), Reeve.—F. Bridgesii simi, sed magis 
ovali et elevaté ; foramine magis centrali. Ods. This may be an 
abnormal form of Bridgesii, more oval and elevated, with the 
foramen more central. 


6. crassa (f. 16, 17), Zamb.—Oblonga, crassi, depressa, oli- 
vaceo-fulva, obscuré radiata, leevigata concentricé et ad marginem 
undulata ; intis callosd, radiatim rugat&; area mediana rosea ; 
foramine elongato, in medium contracto, intts validé calloso. 
Obs. A peculiarly flattened oblong species, thickened within. 

7. putcura (f. 31), Sows.—Ovali, levi, depressa, anticé 
paululum attenuata, fulvo-grisescente, prope medium fasciis ra- 
diataé et maculis rubris mgris et albis variegata; foramine sub- 
centrali, oblongo medio contracto. Oés. Shorter than /. Bridgesii, 
with delicately variegated rays. 


FISSURELLID. 185 


8. Beta (f. 25), Ave.—Ovali, radiatim leviter striata, anticé 
contracta, subacuminata, concentricé griseo fasciata, fasciis pur- 
pureis radiata, inthis albA; margine purpareo maculato, angusto ; 
foramine oblongo, vix infra medium posito. Oés. This pretty 
species is rather pointed in front, it has purple rays and almost 
obsolete striz. 


9. LaTIMARGINATA (f.6, 7,12), Soed.—Subovali, anticé attenuata, 
fulvo-purpureo radiatim striati, intis alba; margine purpureo 
lato, vix crenato ; foramine subcentrali. Ods. In form resembling 
Bridgesii and hella, but radiately striated, and having a remark- 
ably broad purple border. I. 12 represents a narrower form. 


10. Brraprata (f. 1, 2, 3), Frembley.—Subovali, depressa, 
anticé attenuata, subacuminata, radiatim striata, cinerea, radiis 
binis albis lateralibus apice decurrente ; intis albi; margine sub- 
purpureo lato; foramime subcentrali, medio contracto. Ods. In 
form resembling /”. 4ed/a, but of a uniform colour, excepting the 
white rays, which are lost in adult specimens, and having a broad 
margin instead of a narrow one. Fig. 3 represents /. galericulum, 
which is only a contracted form of this species. 


11. Prruviana (f. 38—41), Zamb.—Plus minusve ovata, pos- 
tice subcontracti, plerumque elevata, purpureo plus minusve 
radiaté, striis elevatis graniferis radiati; foramine subcentrali, 
rotundo ; marginibus elevatis. Ods. Amidst the variations to 
which this species is subject, there is a strong tendency to purple 
radiation, granular striation, and a form elevated near the apex. 
F. 39 is abnormally conical. After some doubt and consideration, 
T have concluded that the more oblong and flattened form may be 
distinguished as follows. 


12. arrinis (f. 42, 179), Gray, Sowb., Con. Ill.—F’. Peruviane 
similis, sed magis oblonga et depressd. Ods. This less conical 
and more oblong form is separated to avoid the extreme inconve- 
nience of including opposite characters under the same name, al- 
though the gradations are perplexing. 


13. ciypgus (f. 63).—Ovali, depressa, costellis subnoduliferis 
radiata, lutea rufescente, fasciis albis duabus lateralibus et fasctis 
16 mgrescentibus interruptim sagittatis radiatim picta, intis alba; 
margine luteo maculis purpureis interrupto ; foramine ovali, supra 
medium posito. Ods. In colouring and marginal character so much 
like var. f. 40 of F. Peruviana, that it might be almost taken for 
a specimen of that species unnaturally depressed. 


186 FISSURELLID. 


14. muricara (f. 68), Rve.—F. Peruviane simili, sed cos- 
tellis nonnullis majoribus imbricatis, colore purpureo-nigrescente 
prope foramen annulatd. Ods. I am strongly inclined to believe 
this another variety of Perwviana, with some of the ribs enlarged 
and imbricated. 


15. Mexicana (f. 26, 27, 28, 78), Sowb.—Oblongi, depressi, 
tenui, radiatim striaté, rubra, purpureo radiat&i seu nigra, intis 
albi; margine purpureo vel nigro, angusto; foramine magno, 
albo marginato. Os. Oblong, striated thin shell, either black or 
beautifully rayed with purple or red. Foramen large, edged with 
white. 


16. Puiniperana (f. 30), Rve-—Mevicane similis, sed costellis 
nonuullis extantibus subimbricatis; foramine magis angusto et con- 
tracto. Ods. It is more imbricated than /. Mexicana, with more con- 
tracted fissure. 


17. arrara (f. 71), Rve.—F. Philippiane simili, sed parva, 
sublevigata, late marginaté; costellis nonnullis prope marginem 
undulatim imbricatis. Obs. It is hike #. Philippiana, but with a 
comparatively smooth surface, stellated with white near the apex, 
with some of the ribs imbricated with peculiar undulations near 
the margin. 


18. exquisita (f. 32, 128), Ave.—Oblonga, subdepressi, an- 
ticé paululum attenuata, tenui, alba’, griseo concinné 18-radiata- 
radiatim eequaliter costellaté ; costellis subnoduliferis ; foramine 
oblongo; margine utrinque bilobato. Ods. Neatly rayed with 
eighteen grey bands, and sculptured with numerous equal, granu- 
lated, fine ribs. 


19. orrens (f. 19, 20), Sowd.—Oblonga, depress, solida, 
leviter radiatim striaté, luted seu grisea concentricé fasciata, fasciis 
griseis vel rubris radiaté; intts albo margine griseo, angusto. 
Obs. A much more solid and broader shell than /. Mexicana. 


20. prora (10, 11, 35), Gmel., Lamb.—Ovali, subconica, so- 
lida, subleevigata, costellis leviter granulatis, luted vel nigrescente, 
purpureo vel nigro radiatim fasciata, tus albo, griseo laté mar- 
ginato ; foramine oblongo, intis calloso, circumscripto. OZs. One 
of the larger species with broad margin of an inky colour, or 
whitish with inky rays. J. Darwini (f. 35), Rve., seems to me 
only a variety of this. 


21. poryGona (f. 187,177), Sowd., G. B. 2.—Ovali, angulata, 


FISSURELLIDE. 187 


anticé attenuata, alba, purpureo interruptim radiata, striis scabris 
numerosis et costellis catenzeformibus rarioribus extantibus radiata, 
intus alba; margine maculato. Ods. This beautiful shell is dis- 
tinguished by scabrous striz with noduliferous or chain-like ribs 
at intervals. 


22. maxima (f. 8, 9), Sowd.—Magna, ovali, anticé paululum 
attenuata, crass4, costis levibus undulatim nodosis radiata, fulva, 
purpureo radiatim fasciaté ; margine undulatim crenulato, intus 
albo, calloso; foramine ovali, centrali, intts calloso. Os. A large 
well-known shell, broadly rayed with purple bands and thick undu- 
lated nibs. F. 9 is a singular specimen, in which the fissure is 
nearly closed by shelly deposit. See #. Bridgesii for a case of 
entire closure. 


23. concrnna (f. 4, 178, 206), Philippi.—P. mazime simili, 
sed multo magis angusté; costis nonnunquam magis nodosis. 
Obs. Very probably a variety of F. maxima, but so constantly 
narrower in all stages of growth as perhaps to merit distinction. 
The smaller specimens are much more rugose, and the surface un- 
dulated. M. Hanley’s larger specimen is as smooth as 7. maxima. 
T cannot doubt the identity of Mr. Reeve’s Hondurasensis. 


24. sretiava (f. 82), Rve.—F. mazime@ simili sed parva; 
radiis prope apicem interruptis et sagittatis. Obs. Although this 
little shell appears full grown, it presents a very close miniature re- 
semblance to its gigantic ally. Near the apex, the purple rays 
are interrupted and arrow-headed. 


25. Cumrnett (f. 5, 182), Rve—Lata, ovali, depressd, anticé 
paulo attenuata, purpureo, vel rubro radiata, lineis elevatis scabris 
costellata, intts alba, purpureo laté marginaté; foramine ovali. 
Obs. Broad, depressed, brownish, purple or purple-rayed, with 
scabrous strie; a very broad purple margin. The young speci- 
men, f. 132, is Mr. Hanley’s. 


26. tava (f. 13), Sow.—Lateé ovali, elevata, luted, fasciis pur- 
pureis et costellis moniliferis radiaté; foramine ovali. Ods. A 
much more elevated shell than the last, with beaded riblets. 


27. costata (f. 15, 205), Lesson.—Latissima, pallidé fulva 
obscuré radiatim fasciata, depressd, anticé paululum attenuata, 
costellis irregularibus moniliferis radiata, intus alba; margine lato, 
pallidi subviridi; foramine parvo, ovali. Ods. The irregularity 
of the nodules, and the less conical form, independently of colour 
distinguish this from the preceding. /. rudis of Deshayes, may

probably belong to either. I. 205 is a remarkably wide and nodu- 
lose specimen procured during progress. 


Sect. II. Without defined internal border. 


28. niGro-puncrata (f. 33).—Crassi, conicd, subrotunda, ir- 
regulari sordidé fulva, costellis nigris moniliferis irregularibus 
alternatim minoribus radiata, intis viridi, prope apicem incrassata, 
ad marginem aperture crenulaté, nigro punctati; foramine magno, 
medio contracto. Ods. A rough, rather round, irregular shell, 
green within and radiated without by black beaded ribs. 


29. coarcrata (f.60), King.—P.nigro-punctate simili, sed magis 
levigati ; foramime medio yalidé contracto. Ods. It is doubtful 
whether the contraction of the aperture be not merely accidental ; 
and varieties of the last species occur which are almost as smooth as 
this; but, although I should have been unwilling to found a species 
from so worn a specimen, I am willing to adopt it as founded 
by others. 


30. virescens (f. 87), Sows.—Ovali-rotunda, conicd, viride- 
scens, costis rotundis alternatim majoribus radiata, intus viridi ; 
margine crenulato ; foramine subovali, medio angusto. Obs. 
Green, with alternately large and small rounded ribs. 


31. monitirera (f.175), Sowd., G. B. 2.—Ovali, conica, rugosa, 
costellis alternatim nigris et fulvis moniliferis radiata ; foramine 
magno, ovali, medio subangusto, intus calloso, rubro lineato. 
Obs. This must have been a beautiful shell when in living con- 
dition, the alternate ribs consisting of minute regular black beads. 
A pink line defines the inner callus. The worn but still pretty 
specimen is in M. Hanley’s collection. 


32. ata (f. 88, 89), Carpenter.—Ovali, tenui, conicd, cos- 
tellis irregulariter noduliferis alternatim minoribus nonnunquam 
nigrescentibus radiat&é; foramine oblongo, medio subangusto, 
paulo supra medium posito. Os. Were it not a rather thin 
white shell, it might be taken for a variety of /. nzgropunctata; but 
the ribs are more regularly alternate, and the nodules upon them 
are larger and longer. The fissure is placed a little towards the 
anterior. 


33. ALABASTRITES (f. 43, 44), Ave.—Crassd, ovali, alba, rugosa, 
costis crassis, ineequalibus, irregulariter nodosis ; foramine oblongo, 
magno, medio contracto. Ods. A coarsely-ribbed, thick, white shell. 


34. Guaucorts (f. 45), Rve—Subviridi, /. alabastriti simili 
sed foramine parvo, ceruleo marginato. Ods. The smallness of 


FISSURELLID®. 189 


the foramen, which is bordered with blue, presents a striking pecu- 
liarity in this shell, which otherwise resembles /. aladastrites. 


35. novosa (f. 59), Born.—Ovali-subrotunda, elevata, pallida, 
lateribus convexis, costis elevatis nodulosmagnos ferentibus radiata ; 
foramine subcentrali, ovali, medio contracto. Ods. The well- 
known species with large nodules on the ribs. 


36. Humpureyti (f. 61), Rve.—F. nodose simili, sed costis no- 
duliferis, minoribus, alternatim minimis, interstitiis ccruleis. 
Obts. The nodulous nbs much less prominent and alternating in 
size. 


37. conorpes (f.51), Rve.—Ovali, crassa, rugos4, irregulariter 
costata, alb4, intus viridi; foramine oval, nigro marginato, Ods. A 
conical white species, green within, and having a black ring round 
the fissure. 


38. oprusa (f. 75, 76), Sowb.—Ovali, convexa, leviter costatia, 
costis albis distantibus et interstitiis striatis roseis vel rubris radi- 
até; intus viridi; foramine parvo, paulo supra medium posito. 
Obs. Has the sides convex like Humphreyi, with distant white ribs 
and red striated interstices; the inside is green, and the foramen 
small. 


39. Barpapensis (f. 49, 144-146), Gmel.— Ovali, posticé 
paululum attenuata, alba vel pallidé fulva, fasciis nigris vel rubris 
plus minusve interruptis variegata, costis crassis imbricatis rugosis 
inequalibus radiata; inttis viridi; margine laqueato ; foramine paulo 
supra medium posito, parvo, subquadrato. Os. The ribs on this 
species are irregular and unequal, imbricated with little exfolia- 
tions, colouring and markings variable, but always green inside. 
F. editia, Rwe. (f. 49), is slightly more depressed, attenuated in 
front, and characterized by smaller ribs. 


40. naprata (f. 48, 50), Lamk., Sowb.—Quam PF. Barbadensis 
mavis depress&, postice attenuata; costis minimé imbricatis. Ods. 
Variety f. 49 of Baréadensis approaches this species in the form, 
which is more depressed and attenuated in front; but in this 
species the ribs are not imbricated. It is better to adopt the 
late G. B. Sowerby’s identification of this Lamarckian species, with 
the description of which it agrees pretty accurately, than to give 
it a new name, as Mr. Reeve has done. 


41. rugosa (f. 46, 47), Sows.—Ovali, validé compressa, posticé 
attenuata, costis rugosis ineequalibus quarum tribus anticis maximis 
VOL. Ill. Z 


190 FISSURELLID&. 


radiata, pallideé fulva albé et rubra radiatim fasciata ; intis viridi; 
foramine paulo supra medium posito, subquadrato. Ods. Very 
much depressed, with three front ribs largely developed. 


42. aspERELLa (f. 56), Sows. —F. rugose simili, sed costis multo 
magis depressis et minutis. O4s. In this species the three promi- 
nent ribs are depressed, although shown prominently by being left 
white. The shell is more finely striated. 


43. microTREMA (f. 54, 55), Sows.—Ovali, anticé paulo at- 
tenuatd, subangulataé, compressi, castaneo rubescente vel olivacea, 
costis minutis irregularibus scabris; intus viridi; margine crenu- 
lato ; foramine parvo, nigro-marginato, supra medium posito, ntis 
callos so; callo albo, nigro- marginato. Obs. Like F. asperella, but 
with the minute ribs imbricated ; ; Inside green, foramen very small. 


44. Navatensts (f.69), Avauss.—Ovali-oblonga, subelevata, 
anticé angustata, alba fusco-nigrescente variegata, costis rugosis in- 
zqualibus rotundis radiat&é; intis alba; foramine oblongo, magno, 
tripartito. Ods. Rather narrow in front, with irregular rounded 
ribs; a long, divided foramen. 


45. NUBECULA (f. 73). Linné.—Ovali, anticé angustatd et 
magis quam postice elevatd, alba, fusco- ona dl alti, radiis 
snbyiridibus griseo maculatis radiatim fasciaté, costis subplanulatis 
interstriatis radiaté; intis albo- viridescente ; foramine oblongo, 
medio paulum contracto. Ods. The specimen, figured from Mr. 
Cuming’s collection agrees very well with the description in the 
‘Systema’ with which it has been identified. It is more elevated than 
the following, with a much more elongated foramen. 


46. noska (f. 91, 92, 150), Lamk.—F. nubecule simili, sed 
magis depress, costis nonnullis exstantibus, rubro radiata et varie- 
gata ; intis viridi; foramine ovali, brevi. 


47. osrrina (f. 84), Zve.—Ovali depress, purpurea, albo 
prope apicem radiata, costellis parvis striatis depressis radiata ; 
jntis viridi; foramine oblongo. Ods. This obscure little shell is 
oval depressed, finely ribbed, green within. 


48. muraBiuis (f. 70, 74, 79, 98), Sowb.—Ovali, anticé an- 
gustata, lateribus subeompresssis, grisea vel rose, irregulariter 
planulatim costata et striata, intts albi; callo interno circum- 
scripto ; foramine oval, mediG coarctato. Ods. The front of this 
shell is narrowed by the compression of the sides; its surface is 
radiated by impressed strie dividing the flattened unequal ribs, 


FISSURELLID®. 191 


and lighter ones upon them. Var. f. 74 is the F. éncarnata of 
Krauss, and is the original of the ‘ Conchological Illustrations.’ 


49. catittus (f. 81), Rve.—Parva, FP. mutabili simili, sed 
minute «qualiter striata, fasciis latis rubris prope apicem radiata. 
Obs. More evenly striated than F. mufadilis, and radiated with 
brown bands, which near the margin are suddenly interrupted. 


50. rentata (f. 77), Sows. G. B. 2.—F. mutabili simili, 
sed levigata, fasciis fuscis duplicatis 11 radiata. Oés. In form 
resembling the preceding, but without stri#, and marked by 
eleven pairs of brown rays. 


51. nora (f. 72), Rve.—Ovalis, anticé angustaté et depressa, 
fulva, fasciis fuscis et costis depressis radiata ; foramine ovali, sub- 
centrali, anticé subinclinato. Ods. A pretty little brown-rayed 
species, with ribs divided by impressed striae. The fore part is 
narrow and depressed. 


52. macrotremMa (f. 86, 90), Sowé.—Ovali, crassa, lateribus 
convexiusculis, subviridi, purpureo-nigrescente radiata vel omnino 
picta, costis depressis striatis ineequalibus subrotundis radiata ; 
intis viridi, propé apicem plurimum tinctéi; foramine magno, 
profundo, medio validé contracto. 


53. Lonatrissa (f. 66), Sowd. G. B. 2.—F. macrotreme simi- 
li sed vividé rubro radiata ; foramine eclongato, angusto, tripartito; 
intiis callo roseo-marginato. Ods. The fissure of this brightly- 
rayed shell is so peculiarly long and narrow as to distinguish it 
from the preceding, which it otherwise resembles. 


54. opscura (f. 80), Sowd.—Ovali depress, irregulariter 
convexA, subviridi, et purpurea lineis roseis striata, costis distan- 
tibus inzequalibus subnodosis radiat&é; ints viridi; foramine 
oblongo, viridi, medio contracto. O%s. Distinguished from the 
two preceding by the distant compressed ribs, which are some- 
what nodulous. 


55. nicrocinera (f. 64, 65), Carpenter.—Ovali, convexa, vix 
anticé attenuata, impresso-striaté, fasciculis lmearum nigrarum 
radiatim fasciatd, interstitiis nigro-punctatis; intis alba; callo 
nigro-marginato; aperture margine acuté denticulato interstitiis 
nigris. O%s. A pretty little shell, striated with depressed lines, 
and radiated by black lines in bunches of three. The margin is 
sharply denticulated with black interstices. The internal callus is 
defined by a sharp black line. 


192 FISSURELLID&. 


56. Tenezrosa (f. 67), Sows. G. B. 2.—F. nigrocinete simili, 
sed magis rotunda; radiis nigris, nebulosis; costellis vix elevatis, sub- 
nodosis; margine aperturee vix crenulato. Os. A more rounded 
shell, more loosely ribbed and cloudily black-rayed than the pre- 
ceding, only slightly crenulated at the margin of the aperture. 


57. Batanorpss (f. 94), ARve.—Ovali, conica, subviridi, fusco 
vel olivaceo radiatim fasciatd, costellis depressis subevanidis radi- 
até; intus viridi; margine leviter crenulato. Ods. This shell re- 
sembles in general appearance a smooth variety of Patella vulgata, 
plus the fissure. 


58. nimBosa (f. 136), Linn.— Ovali, anticé subattenuata, 
conic, elevatd, subviridi, inter costas lineis mgris et viridibus radi- 
atim fasciata; costellis albis, subnodulosis; foramine ovali, pro- 
fundo, medio contracto; intis viridi; margine crenulato-nigro, 
punctato. 


59. vorcano (f. 87), Ave.—Ovali, conic’, prope foramen 
elevatd, costellis seabris rotundis inequalibus radiata, fasciculis 
rubris nigro-punctatis radiatim fasciat&é; foramine alto; intis 
alba’; margine crenato, maculato. 


Margin denticulated. Apex leaning forward. (Gen. “ Lucapina.”) 


60. nuctecra (f. 1389), Desh.—Lati, prope margines depressa, 
prope apicem elevata, anticé subattenuaté, postice dilatata, lateri- 
bus medio areuatis concentricé undulatim striaté, fulvo-grisescente ; 
costis rotundis, striatis, alteris distantibus exstantibus, alteris inter- 
mediis numerosis depressiusculis; intis alba; margine duplicatim 
denticulato, prope apicem calloso; callo postice truncato ; foramine 
anticé declivi. Ods. ‘he ribs are peculiarly festooned with striz 
arching upwards; about every fourth rib is more prominent than 
the intermediate. 


61. Mercauret (f. 140, 141, 142), Rve-—Quam FP. neglecta 
angustiore, costellis magis equalibus. O%s, Although narrower and 
more finely sculptured, this species, which includes F. viminea of 
the same anthor, exhibits the same festooned striation over the 
ribs, and otherwise resembles 7’. neglecta. 


62. suBrosrrava (f. 215), Guild., Sowb.—Irregulariter ovali, 
posticé attenuata, depress4, marginibus ad terminos elevatis, fusca, 
scabrosa, costis acuté imbricatis subangulatis radiata ; ints alba ; 


FISSURELLIDA. 193 


margine laqeuato; foramine parvo, rotundo, supra medium posito. 
Obs. This rough shell was distinctly figured in ‘Conchological Illus- 
trations,’ f. 75, under the above name, which has the priority over 
FL. salebrosa. 


63. punta (f. 208), Ave.—lrregulariter oblong, depressi, ter- 
minis elevatis, fusca, griseo obscuré radiatim fasciata, irregu- 
lariter costis rotundis scabris imbricatis radiata; foramine oblongo, 
infra medium posito. Ods. I have some difficulty in placing this 
and the preceding species. It has been suggested to place them 
with /. pustula and fascicularis under the genus Clypidella, but, 
although they resemble those shells slightly in form, perhaps acci- 
dentally so, the other characters do not correspond. 


64. JuKest (f. 147, 148, 149), Rve.—Ovali, subelevata, albida, 
striis elevatis concentricis et costis angulatis acuté imbricatis 
radiantibus cancellata ; costis nonnullis exstantibus ; intts alba ; 
margine duplicatim dentato; callo griseo posticé subtruncato ; 
foramine quadrato; margine griseo, anticé declinato, supra medium 
posito. Ods. This species is subject to considerable variations 
in elevation, sculpture, etc. ; but the characters pass from one va- 
riety to another interchangeably. The foramen is square, edged 
with black, and placed considerably above the middle. F. 147 is 
F, Jukesii of Reeve; f. 148 is F. fimbriata of the same author ; 
f. 149 is named in the same work as /. australis of Krauss, 
but it is quite distinct from that species. 


65. Stusotpir (f. 138), Rve.—F. Jukesit simili, sed costis 
quinque posticis, distantibus, validé exstantibus. Ods. A variety of 
F. Jukesix oceurs, which has some of the front ribs very prominent, 
and that variety presents an approach to this species, in which the 
five principal ones are very prominent indeed and strongly imbri- 
cated. This being a Chinese shell, is an additional reason for dis- 
tinguishing it from its Australian analogue. 


66. catycuLata (f. 126, 127), Sows.—Oblonga, posticé ex- 
pansa, anticé lateribus compressis, apice elevato, costellis tribus mag- 
nis imbricatis posticis alteris minoribus et interstitialibus minimis 
radiata, liris concentricis cancellata ; intts albi; foramine subro- 
tundo, multo ante medium posito, inttis callo septum formante 
marginato. Ods. Remarkable for the internal callus near the 
apex, which forms a kind of septum with a pit behind it, and the 
three prominent notched ribs. 


67. varicosa (f. 52, 53), Sows. G. B. 2.—Oblonga, conica, 


194 FISSURELLID.® 


apice elevato, costis tribus maximis validé nodulosis posticis, sex 
anticis magnis, cum minoribus interstitialibus radiata, lineis ele- 
vatis distantibus concentricis cancellaté ; intis callo vix septiformi ; 
foramine parvo, rotundo, anticé posito et declinato, Obs. It is 
not internally chambered as in 7. calyeulata. The three poste- 
rior prominent ribs are very coarsely knobbed. 


68. uxcetsa (f. 154, 155, 156), Rve.—Ovali, elevata, liris 
concentricis et costis elevatis ineequalibus acuté imbricatis cancel- 
lata; apice elevato; foramine parvo, subrotundo, antice posito. 
Obs. F. alta, of C. B. Adams, has the cancellation a little coarser ; 
but there are scarcely two specimens alike. 


69. nrcRo-oceLiata (f. 160, 161), Rve—F. excelse simil, 
sed maculis nigris, inter costis prope marginem positis. Ods. In 
form scarcely differing from 7. excedsa, but with a minute black 
spot between each of the principal ribs near the margin. 


70. ocracona (f. 159). Rve. L. excelse simili, sed costis tribus 
magnis posticis validé nodosis. Os. The specimens so named in 
Mr. Cuming’s coliection, which most nearly resemble the figure of 
this species, do not appear much more “ octagonal” than LZ. ex- 
celsa; but the three prominent ribs in front are singularly 


knobbed. 


71. cyatnutum (f. 152, 153), Rve.—Ovali, elevata, liris dis- 
tantibus concentricis et costis distantibus acutis angulatim nodu- 
losis radiantibus cancellatd, fusco variegaté ; foramine parvo, ro- 
tundo ; apice elevato. Oss. This species, by the coarseness and 
sharpness of its cancellations, holds a middle position between the 
F, excelsa group and the next species. 


72. mmpricata (f. 162), Sow. G. B. 2.—Ovali, depressa, 
sordide alba, fusco radiatim fasciatd, liris concentricis et costis 
alternatim ineequalibus acute imbricatis cancellaté ; foramine parvo, 
subcentrali. Ods. An ordinary patelleform species, but cancel- 
lated by concentric ridges and imbricated ribs. 

73. Lisvert (f. 130,131), D’Ord.—Ovali, depress, liris con- 
centricis et costis 20 principalibus cum alteris interstitialibus ro- 
tundis obtusé noduliferis cancellatd, fusea, alba, vel viridi radiatim 
fasciata; intus albi; callo prope apicem subtruncato ; foramine 
ceruleo marginato, supra medium posito, antice declinato, angus- 
tato. Ods. This is the most coarsely cancellated among those 


shells which have been included in the designation /. Greca. It is 
West Indian. 


74. stutmts (f. 148), Sows. G. B. 2.—F. Insteri simili, sed 


FISSURELLID®. 195 


multo magis elevaté; costis tenuioribus. Oés. The ribs are thinner 
and the shell more elevated and conical than /. Listeri ; these 
with the Australian habitat may justify the distinction. 


75. revicutata (f. 112), Donov.—Oblonga, anticé attenuata, 
depressi, costis parvis moniliferis ineequalibus et liris concentricis 
ceancellata, pallidé fulva, viridi vel fusco radiat&; intus albi; mar- 
gine denticulato; lateribus arcuatis; foramine parvo, multo supra 
medium posito, declinato. O4s. This cancellated species has some 
of the front ribs more prominent than the others. The basal 
margin is arched at the sides. 


76. cosraria (f. 117), Desh.—F. reticulate simili, sed costis 
et liris minoribus, magis eequalibus ; margine basali ad latera recto. 
Obs. The sculpture is finer than in F. reticulata, the ribs more 
regular, and the basal margin not arched. 


77. Stvcavorensis (f. 118, 119).—Oblongo-ovali, depressa, 
albA vel pallidé fulva, interruptim fusco seu griseo radiatim fas- 
ciaté, subarcuata, regulariter cancellata; foramine ovali, multo 
supra medium posito, anticé declinato. Ods. Like F. reticulata, 
but of a more oval form and more regular cancellation. 


78. Latiora (f. — omitted), Sows. G. B. 2.—Quam F. Sin- 
gaporensis multo latiore. Oss. I omitted a figure of this, not 
intending to distinguish it from the preceding, than which, how- 
ever, it is much broader. 


79. ausrrauis (f. 158), Avavss.—Oblongo-ovali, depressi, pos- 
tice convexd, costellis eequalibus moniliferis cum alteris mino- 
ribus intermediis et liris minutis concentricis cancellaté. Ods. 
The cancellation is much more close and regular than in /. Singa- 
porensis, and besides the long radiate ribs, there are others inter- 
mediate which, beginning later, are shorter. 


80. trvgata (f. 134, 135), Sows.—Ovali, anticé subattenuata, 
declivi posticé convexa, regulariter cancellaté ; costellis nonnullis, 
moniliferis, rubris; intus albA; margine duplicatim denticulato ; 
foramine ovali, anticé posito declivi. Ods. Although first figured 
from a smaller specimen, there can be no doubt of the identity of 
this shell, to which the name subsequently given by Mr. Reeve 
was therefore unnecessary. A few of the beaded ribs are a little 
prominent and coloured red, and although this is not the case with 
the larger variety which is obscurely rayed with clouded green, 
yet the more prominent ribs are present undistinguished by the 
red line. 


81. penstctaTHRata (f. 157), Rve.—Ovali, subdepressi, co- 


196 FISSURELLID &. 


nici, omnino equaliter cancellatd, sordidé alba viridi-grisescente 
laté fasciatd ; apice elevato; foramine subcentrali, rotundo. Oés. 
A patelleeform species, evenly cancellated, with the foramen near 
the centre, painted by obscure greenish or greyish bands, 


82. venusta (f. 109), Ave.—Ovali, depressi, alba, costellis 
levibus cum alteris intermediis radiantibus et liris concentricis 
regulariter cancellata ; foramine paulo supra medium posito. Ods. 
A beautifully cancellated, white, patellaform species. 


83. Bompayana (f. 166), Sowd. G. B. 2.—Ovali, depressi, 
liris concentricis et costis acutis scabris equaliter cancellata, 
fulva, fusco radiatim fasciata ; intts alba; marginé crenulato ; fora- 
mine rotundo, supra medium posito. Oés. A pretty species, re- 
sembling /, venusta, but delicately ranged with brown bands and 
with the costell scabrous. 


84. runicuLata (f. 100, 129), Rve.—Ovali, posticé vix atte- 
nuata, subconica, concentricé tenuiter striata, costis rotundis scabris 
numerosis quarum nonnullis majoribus exstantibus imbricatis ra- 
diata, albi, fulvo-radiatim fasciaté, nonnunquam costis majoribus 
fusco-lineatis; foramine ovali, declinato, multo ante medium posito. 
Obs. The original variety, f. 129, has its delicate radiate bands 
bordered by rather prominent brown ribs, forming beaded lines 
in pairs; and although the var. subsequently named /. dacty- 
dosa has not these ribs coloured, it presents the same sculpture and 
is no doubt identical. 


85. niariraprata (f. 167), Rve.—Parva, oval, conica, alba, 
liris concentricis et costis moniliferis validis radiantibus quarum 
9 interruptim nigris cancellaté; foramine subrotundo, simplice. 
Obs. A small, coarsely cancellated species, 9 of whose beaded ribs 
are interruptedly black. 


86. Panamensts (f. 128). Sowd.—Parva, elevata, alba, conica, 
fusco prope marginem fasciatim variegata, lineis fuscis angulatis 
ornata, omnino minute cancellati, costellis albis paulo exstantibus 
radiata ; apice elevato; foramine circulari, simplice, longé ante 
medium posito. Ods. In the ‘Conchological Illustrations,’ this 
very distinct shell is united with the one which Mr. Reeve has 
since named F, excelsa: see f. 154, 155, 156. 


87. tarva (f. 102, 103, 104), Rve.—Oblonga, depressa, fusco- 
subviridi, albo radiata yel alba, nigro vel griseo radiatim fasciata, 
concentricé liraté, costis 18 exstantibus rotundis valde imbricatis 
et interstitiis tricostatis radiata, intis albA; margine duplicatim 
denticulato ; callo prope apicem posticé truncato; foramine decli- 


PISSURELLID. 197 


nato, anticé angustato, supra medium posito. Oés. Of an oblong 
depressed form, with eighteen imbricated rounded ribs, and three 
smaller ones in the interstices. he fissure is singularly nar- 
rowed anteriorly. 

88. Dysonr (f. 105, 106), Rve.—F. darve simili, sed magis 
conica ; costis magis angulatis, acuté imbricatis. Ods. More coni- 
cal than /. darva, with the ribs and imbrications more angular. 


89. rumata (f. 95, 96, 97), Rve—Ovali, conicd, anticé an- 
gustatd, alba vel griseo-nebulosa, post foramen angulatim elevata, 
concentricé lirati; costellis rotundis crebris, quarum 18 majori- 
bus radiatis ; foramine declinato, anticé angustato, ceruleo mar- 
ginato, ante medium posito. Oés. The variety figured in Reeve’s 
work appears to be an unusual one ; the smoky tints of our figures 
are more natural to it. The apex is elevated into a point behind 
the anteriorly-narrowed fissure. 


90. atrernata (f. 98, 99), Say.—Oblonga, quam 7. fumata 
magis angusta, fusco-subviridi fasciatim variegata; costis majoribus 
acuté imbricatis. Oés. Narrower than £. /umata, with the more 
prominent ribs sharply imbricated, and the colouring variegated. 


91. Rupwxutt (f. 107, 108), Sows.—Ovali, anticé subincurva, 
posticé convexd, alba, fasctis quatuor vel octo nigrescentibus, vel 
fulva vel prope marginem rufescente-nigro radiata, costis validis 
rotundis moniliferis et liris concentricis parvis cancellata ; intis 
albo, margine minute denticulato; foramine declivi, ovali, sim- 
plice, supra medium posito. Ods. The rounded and beaded large 
ribs distinguish this species from others. 

92. Ticaonica (f. 110), Ave.—Oblonga, posticé gibbosa, an- 
ticé valde declinata, concentricé leviter lrata, costis scabris radiata, 
alb& viridi tincté, nonnunquam viridi interruptim radiata ; fora- 
mine angustato, tripartito, prope marginem anticum posito. Ods. 
The tripartite fissure, the fine and rather sharp cancellation, and 
the nearness of the apex to the ventral margin, serve to distinguish 
this species. 


93. proxima (f. 115), Sows. G. B. 2.—F. Ticaonice simili, 
sed posticé haud tantum gibbosa, anticé haud tantum declinata. 
Obs. Less gibbous posteriorly and less suddenly inclined than 
F’. Ticaoniea, which it nearly resembles. The variety figured is 
marked by green lines.

20 albis extantibus, et alteris intermediis fuscis vel viridis minori- 
bus; intis albo margine crenulato, prope apicem subceruleo ; callo 
nigro-marginato; foramine angusto, medio coarctato. Obs. A 
beautiful species, with radiating white ribs and three ribbed green 
or greyish-brown interstices. 


96. recuLa (f. 57), Rve.—Parva, oblonga, crassi, posticé ar- 
cuatéi, anticé brevi, declivi, grisedé, nigro radiat&; inter radios 
nigros costis depressis, quarum posticis majoribus radiatis ; 
intis pallidé griseo, aperturee margine minuté denticulato nigro, 
eallo nigro-marginato ; foramine oblongo. Ods. Small, narrow, 
arched, grey with black rays between smooth depressed ribs. 


97. Lincotnt (f. 133), Grey, Sowb.—Ovali, alba, arcuatim 
elevatd, anticé paulo angustiore, marginibus laqueatis extantibus 
concentricé lirata, costis scabris et fasciis purpureis radiaté ; intus 
albo, callo circulari, tumido ; aperture margine denticulato, macu- 
lato ; foramine rotundo, antico profundo, margine postico elevato. 
Obs. A whitish shell with purple rays, rendered scabrous by the 
fluted edges of former stages of growth, and radiating ribs rough- 
ened by the crossing of these lines. 


98. aspera (f. 125), Sow.— Ovali-subrotunda, conica, ele- 
vata, fusco-nigricante, vel obscuré fasciata ; liris elevatis, fimbriatis ;

tim denticulato; foramine rotundo, supra medium posito, antice 
declinato. Ods. A darkly-coloured shell roughened by concentric 
fringes and angularly-knobbed ribs. 


99. ura (f. 124), Sows. G. B. 2.—F. aspere simili, sed liris 
concentricis et costis radiantibus wulto minoribus; foramine 
parvo, oblongo. Ods. The sculpture is so much finer than F. 
aspera as to compel the separation; the foramen is also small and 
narrow. 


100. prerraLe (f. 122), Rve.—Ovali-subrotunda, obliqué ele- 
vata, striis minutis scabris radiata; apice validé versus marginem 
anticum inclinato; olivaced, prope apicem subceerulea, intus alba, 
versus callum griseA; margine olivaceo; foramine parvo. (ds. 
Finely reticulated, greyish-olive, much inclined anteriorly, with a 
small rounded fissure. 


FISSURELLID®. 199 


101. renursrriata (f. 111), Rve.—Oblonga, gibba, alba, 
apice versus marginem anticum inclinat&, prope apicem minuté 
cancellata, versus marginem minuté radiatim scabroso-striata ; 
foramine magno, rotundo. Oés. An oblong gibbous white shell, 
very short, anteriorly cancellated near the apex, the radiate ribs 
thinning out into even striz near the basal margin. The foramen 
is very large and round. 


102. pinzopsipgs (f. 120, 121), Rve.—Obliqué gibbosa ; apice 
ultra marginem basalem incurvato; pallidé fulva, prope apicem 
rubro tincta; costis crenulatis, rotundis, quarum alternis depressis 
radiata; foramine elongato, declinato. Ods. The name is happily 
chosen to express the curving of the apex and its leaning beyond 
the front basal margin. 


103. crppa (f. 114, 168), Phzdippi.—Oblonga, alba, convex, 
liris concentricis et costis noduliferis radiantibus cancellata ; fora- 
mine oblongo; variat subolivaced, fasciis viridis radiata. Obs. 
Distinguished by Philippi from the following by the greater con- 
vexity of its back and sides. F. candida, of the ‘Con. Ill” pro- 
bably belongs to this. 


104. crpperuLa (f. 113, 117), Zamf.—Oblongi, posticé at- 
tenuati, alba vel variegata, cancellata ; lateribus depressis; margine 
basali arcuato; foramine oblongo. Oés. This species has the 
sides and back more depressed, the basal margin more arched, and 
the anterior more narrowed than the preceding. 


105. Grantrera (f. 165), Pease—F. gitbe simili, sed multo 
breviore. Ods. Much shorter than 7. gisda. 


106. arcuata (f. 168, 164), Sows. G. B. 2.—Parva, alba, 
fulvo radiata, radiatim minuté striata, antice angusti; apice versus 
marginem anticum declinato; dorso gibboso, arcuato ; margine 
ventrali arecuato; foramine parvo. Ods. Small, white, with fawn- 
coloured rays, much inclining forward, and having a curiously- 
arched and gibbous back. 


107. minvuta (f. 169), Sows. G. B. 2.—Parva, elongata, dorso 
arcuata, fulvo-virescente, radiatim lmearum fasciculis fasciata, con- 
centricé lirata, costellis crebris minuté noduliferis radiata; intus 
griseo; margine crenulato; foramine parvo, uigro-marginato, prope 
marginem anticum posito. Oés. This little shell was figured in 
the ‘ Conchological Illustrations,’ and agrees well with Lamarck’s 
description of the species. Mr. Reeve’s subsequently-imposed 
name, /. gemmulata, must therefore be dropped. 


200 FISSURELLID. 


108. vartreatTa (f. 172, 173), Sows. G. B. 2.—Quam F. 
minuta magis depressa, cancellata, alba, fasciis interruptis radianti- 
bus variegata; foramine oblongo, margine albo. Ods. This species 
is variegated with interrupted radiating bands; it is flatter than 
F. minuta, and has not the arched back nor the black-edged 
foramen of that species. 


109. aneustata (f. 170, 171), Sows. G. B. 2.—Hlongata, 
angustata, dorso arcuato, alb’, nonnunquam fulvo radiatim fas- 
ciaté, minuté cancellaté; foramine parvo, circulari. Ods. Differ-

gulatim olivaceo variegata, costis scabris numerosis et alteris mino- 
ribus alternis radiaté; intts pallidé ceeruleo; margine denticulato, 
ad latera elevato, arcuato ; foramine rotundo, validé antico. Ods. An 
elongated arched species, variegated by angular broad patches of 
olive-green. The foramen is round. 

111. imevatis (f. 183, 184), Sows—F. pice simili, sed 
coloribus suffusis ; foramine elongato, tripartito. O4s. The colours 
in this species are radiated and suffused, the back is less arched 
than in the preceding, and above all, the fissure, instead of being 
rounded, is long, narrow and lobed. 


112. corsicuta (f. 180), Sows. G. B. 2—Quam F. pica et 
F. inequalis magis depressa, patelleformi, valide cancellata. Ods. 
Less arched than the preceding, with coarser cancellation. 

113. tancrorata (f. 182), Sowd., G. B., 2—Quam F. pica 
et F. inequalis anticé multo magis angustata. Oss. The sud- 
den narrowing of the front part distinguishes this from the two 
preceding species, besides the cancellation being a little more 
depressed. 

114. arricunata (f. 176), Sows. G. B. 2.—Hlongata, com- 
pressa, fulva, fusco fasciatim variegata, liris concentricis et costis 
radiantibus moniliferis alternatim majoribus, quarum nonnullis 
nigro articulatis, cancellaté; foramine elongato, longé supra medium 
posito. Ods. A beautifully sculptured and figured species in the 
collection of Mr. Hanley, in which some of the most prominent ribs 
at regular intervals are articulated with black. 


115. canceizara (f. 187, 189), So/ander.—Oblonga, depressi, 
roseii-grisescente, plerumque griseo in fasciis radiantibus variegata ; 
liris concentricis et costis radiantibus rotundis noduliferis alter-

FISSURELLID&. 201 


distincto; margine aperture minuté denticulato ; foramine magno, 
circulari, longé ante medium posito. Ods. Lf. suffusa, Rve., is 
only a variety of this without the variegated bands. 


116. mets (f. 188), Rve-—F. cancellate simili, sed magis de- 
pressd; fasciis distantibus; costis magis distantibus et acute angus- 
tatis ; foramine oblongo. Ods. Flatter than F. cancellata, with 
narrower, more distant, and sharper ribs. 


117. enoneata (f. 185), Philippi Quam F. egis multo an- 
gustiore. Ods. Although much narrower than F. e@gis, this 
shell is not very distinct from that species. 


118. cructata (f. 191), Avawss—Quam F. @gis ad apicem 
magis elevata, costis radiantibus haud tantum extantibus, alba, 
fasciis fuscis quatuor cruciatim radiata. Os. The apex is more 
elevated and the ribs sharper and closer than (although not so 
prominent as) in F. @gis. Obs. It is white, radiated by four 
brown bands. 


119. tentrerosa (f. 190), Rve.—Ovali-oblongé, subdepressa, 
costis scabris alternatis crebris radiata, alba, griseo fasciatim macu- 
lata et variegati; intis grised; margine denticulato; foramine 
magno, rotundo. Ods. Rather more gibbous than the three pre- 
ceding species, with the ribs sharp and close as in F. erwciata. 
Oés. It is white, speckled with grey in radiating bands. 


120. crentrera (fig. omitted)—Oblongd, validé depressa, 
alba, fasciis rubris sex latis picta, costis distantibus nodosis ra- 
diaté; intis albo margine crasso, crenulato; foramine oblongo, 
prope medium posito. Ods. A figure of this has been inadver- 
tently omitted; it is flat and oblong with nodulous ribs, and a 
nearly central oblong foramen. 


121. acurmara (f. 186), Rve-—F. crenifere simili, sed alba, 
costis alternis acuté imbricatis. Ods. Differmg from F. erenifera 
in the sharp imbrications of the more prominent ribs. 


122. sacrrrata (f. 83).—Oblongé, depressa, radiatim stri- 
at, alba, fasciis roseis 11 et maculis angulatis fasciata, intis alba ; 
marginibus terminalibus paulo elevatis; foramine oblongo, paulo 
supra medium posito. Ods. Prettily radiated with pink bands, 
between which are angular brown spots. 


123. crenutava (f. 18), Sows.—Magni, expansi, ovali-ob- 
longa, posticé depressd, anticé gibba, fulva-grisescente, striis impres- 
sis radiata ; striis concentricis crenulatis ; ints alba; callo apicali

A large shield-like species. 


124. Hantnyana (f. 174), Sowb. G. B. 2.—Parva, alba, sub- 
depress, anticé angustaté, minuté cancellata, intis alba, mar- 
gine leviter crenulaté; foramine subtrigono, lateribus aculeatis, 
prope medium posito. Ods. The triangular fissure in this species 
has a little elevated point at each side. 


Genus FISSURELLIDEA. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum gasteropodum, testa patellaeformi, dorsali 
pallio tecta ad apicem, fissuraé magna perforata, margine aperture 
ad extremitates elevato. 

The characters of the shells alone are not sufficient to distin- 
guish this genus from the preceding, although the fissure is larger 
than in Fisswred/a,and the basal margin is elevated at both ends ; 
but in F. Aiantula the shell is covered almost entirely by a lobe 
of the mantle, and although the animals of the other species are 
not all known, I have placed together those whose shell would ap- 
pear probably to belong to the same type. 


Species of Fissurellidea. 


1. utantuxa (f. 193, 194, 195), Zamk.—Testa oblonga, antice 
subangustata ; lateribus compressis, terminis elevatis; i1mpresso- 
striaté griseo, olivaceo vel rubro varié radiata et picta, intts alba ; 
callo valido, margine leviter crenulato ; foramine magno, ovali, 
paululum infra’ medium posito. Oés. Rather narrower anteriorly, 
and, by being as it were pinched in at the sides, the basal margin 
is open at both ends. 


2. Cuemnirzi (f. 29, 192), Sowb.—Ovali, crassi, anticé an- 
gustata, lateribus compressis, roseo radiata, concentricé undulatim 
striata, costis complanatis et interstitiis minoribus radiata, intis

apicale roseo marginato ; foramine magno, paululum infra medium 


FISSURELLID®. 203 


posito. Oés. A very pretty shell in Mr. Hanley’s collection, in 
some respects resembling F. Chemnitzii, but much thinner, and 
not so much pinched at the sides or elevated at the ends. 


4. incarnata (f. 199), Krawss.—Oblonga, rosea, albo radiata, 
tenuissimé radiatim striata, anticé angustaté; terminis paululum 
elevatis; foramine centrali, magno. Ods. Rose-coloured with 
whitish rays very finely striated, the ends a little turned up, but 
not so much so as F. hiantula: 


5. sEtta (f. 197), Sows. G. B. 2.—Brevi, anticé angustata ; 
lateribus paulo compressis, terminis validé elevatis ; fulva-rubes- 
cente, minuté striata, intis grised; margine levi, callo purpureo 
circumscripto. O%s. An interesting saddle-shaped shell, which 
has the peculiar pinched-up character of /. hiantula, etc., but 
is much shorter. It has the ends raised more than any other 
species. 

6. scuTELLA (f. 207), Sowd. G. B. 2.—Subquadrata, depressa, 
levi, concentricé minutissimé striaté; terminis elevatis ; fulva, 
fuscis fasciis inequalibus radiata; foramine magno, medio sub- 
angustato. Os. The upturned edges of this almost square species 
seem to place it in this genus or group. 


7. nicriva (f. 196), Sowb.—Oblonga, depressa ; lateribus com- 
pressis, terminis elevatis; radiatim striata, migrA; foramine 
maximo, ovali, centrali. Ods. Black, finely striated, with the ends 
raised, and very large central fissure.

trali. Obs. A thick shell with ends slightly elevated, and very 
large fissure. 


9. tiraruta (f. 204), Rve—Oblonga, depress, striis impressis

griseis 6 ineequalibus radiaté, intts alba; callo apicali cireum- 
scripto; margine incrassato, minuté crenulato ; foramine magno, 
ovali. Radiated with impressed lines, which are striated by fes- 
tooned or crenulated lines of growth. 


10. xquauis (f. 200), Sows. G. B. 2.—Oblonga, depressa, 
levi, griseé, albo 12 radiata, terminis vix elevatis; margine 
postico undulato ; intts albi'; foramine magno, centrali. Obs. 
Although the ends are scarcely raised, the general form of this 
shell seems to place it near /. nigrita, ete. 


204 FISSURELLIDA. 


Genus PUPILLAVA. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum gasteropodum, testa patelleeformi, dorsali 
interna; testee foramine maximo, ovali; margine basal, ared de- 
pressi. cincto. Obs. The species upon which this genus is 
founded, has the peculiarity of a depressed insertional rim, re- 
sembling that by which the valves of a Ciiton are inserted into 
the surrounding integument. ‘The shell is covered by the mantle. 


PurinnHa aperra (f. 228, 229), Sows.—Oblonga, s subconica, 
crassi, anticé magis gibbi, posticé magis depressi, grisea, ina- 
qualiter nigro fasciata et punctatéi ; margine impresso, albo, tenui ; 
foramine maximo, ovali. Oés. The nearest shell to this in fend 
is Fissurellidea migrata, but neither that nor any other has a 
similar insertional rim at the base. 


Genus CLYPIDELLA. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum gasteropodum, testé patelleeformi, dorsi 
partem tegente ; teste foramine parvo, subcruciformi; margine 
antico elevato. Obs. The flat saddle-shaped character of the shell, 
and its small size compared with the animal, and the different 
appearance of the animal itself, are perhaps sufficient to justify 
the separation of the two known species composing this genus 
from the other Fissureliida. 


Species of Clypidella. 


1. pustuta (f. 209, 210, 211), Lamk.—Testa subcireulari, de- 
pressi, antice paululum angustata, margine elevato; emarginate 
alba seu rosed, seu roseo radiatim fasciati, costis depressis, crebris, 
concentricé striatis et interstitiis lmearibus radiata ; intts alba, 
margine crenulato ; foramme subcruciformi roseo marginato 
prope marginem anticum posito. Ods. The ribs are depressed 
and close together, and the anterior margin is a little sinuous and 
elevated. 


2. FascrcuLanis {f. 212, 213, 214), ZLamk.— Sub-pyriformi, 
gibbosa, anticé silboounineteeve radiis rugosis, elevatis radiata ; 
foramine subcruciformi, prope medium posito. Ods. Peaked in 
front, not emarginated, with the ribs more rugose and rounded 
than in C. pustuda, and the fissure placed nearer to the centre. 


FISSURELLIDE. 205 


Genus MACROCHISMA. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum gasteropodum; testa patelleeformi, oblonga, 
dorsali, versus extremitatem posita; teste foramine maximo, elon- 
gato, prope marginem anticum posito, terminis elevatis. Ods. Mr. 
Cuming remarks that the animal of this genus is very large and 
elongated, with the shell placed near the hinder extremity. The 
shell has the compressed sides and elevated extremities of the 
genus /sswrellidea, but it is much prolonged backwards; and the 
foramen is very long, narrowed behind, widened in front, where it 
is placed close to the anterior margin of the siiell, which is de- 
pressed immediately in front of it. 


Species of Macrochisma. 


1. maxima (f. 216, 217), 4. Adams.—Testa oblonga, radiatim 
striata, fusco et rubro radiatim fasciataé, posticé subdepressa, 
obsolete bicostati; margine antico validé elevato, sinuato, intis 
margine incrassato ; foramine anticé angustato. Ods. This, and 
not I. hiatula, is the species figured in the ‘Conch. Illust. as 
F. macrochisma. 


2. Srvensts (f. 219), 4. dd.— J. maxime simili, sed tenuiore,

diatim striata; anticé margine vix elevato, posticé margine de- 
presso subrostrato; costa postici elongata, depressa, striata, fora-

maximo, elongato, medio expanso. Ods. The foramen occupies 
two-thirds the length of the entire shell, which ends abruptly at 
the posterior end. 


7. cuspipara (f. 226), A. dd.— Parva, minuté striaté, griseo 
variegati, tenui, posticé attenuata, subacuminata; foramine maximo, 
posticé acuminato. Oés. Differing from the last in its greyish 
colour, in the narrowness and pointedness of the foramen and pos- 
terior margin. ‘These last two species may prove to be the young 
of some other species. 


8. niatuLA (f. 198), Swaznas.—Oblongo- subquadrata, radiatim 
striata, fuscé; anticé margine validé slernia, posticé margine pau- 
lulum elevato; foramine oblongo, magno, prope medium posito. 
Ovs. A wide species, in which the fissure is not placed so near 
the front edge, and in which the space between the fissure and 
margin Js scarcely depressed. It forms almost a link between 
this genus and Misswredlidea. 


9. pinatata (f. 220), 4. dd.—Oblonga, striata, subquadrata, 
depressa, rubra ; anticé margine elevato vix sinuato, posticé paulu-

Ovs. A more regularly oval species than the preceding, and of a 
speckled reddish colour. 


MONOGRAPHS OF THE GENERA 


CEMORIA, CRANOPSIS, ZEIDORA, RIMULA, 
EMARGINULA, SCUTUS, & TUGALIA. 


By ARTHUR ADAMS anv G. B. SOWERBY. 


Note.—Owing to engagements interfering to prevent the completion of Mr. Adams’s 
manuscript, the arrangement of these monographs and final decision respecting many 
species has fallen into the hands of G. B. S. 

The specimens are nearly all from Mr. Cuming’s collection. 


Genus CEMORIA, Leach. 
Pirate X. 


Char. Gen. Conica, radiatim costata, apice centrali; fissura ad 
apicem posita, fornice interno arcuato. 

In this genus, which is Sipho of Brown, Puncturella of Lowe,

This species, figured from a specimen in Mr. Cuming’s collection, 
is of quite a different form to C./astigiata, and seems to approach 
more nearly to C. xoachina in specific characters.

young individuals, however, the foramen is entire. 4. Adams. 

(I do not find it possible to distinguish satisfactorily the sub- 
genera “ Subemarginula”’ and “ Clypidina’’ The notch, upon 
which the division principally depends, graduates from a great 
depth in some species to being scarcely perceptible in others, but 
no line of demarkation can be drawn. In most species the depth 
of notch depends on the age of the specimen, being deeper in the 
young. G. B. 8.)

distantibus, inzequalibus, subaculeatis, ornata; apertura margine 
crenato-denticulato, posticé recto, anticé rotundato, sinuato, sinu 
intis m canalem producto. 


44, Cuminert (f. 76), Sowd.—Oblonga, irregulariter polygona, 
lata, valde depressa, subviridis, costis angulatis rugosis ineequa- 
libus radiata, apice paululim anticé posito; fissura subquadrata. 
Ols. Much more depressed and wide than Z. scutellata, and the 
sculpture less deeply cut and rugose. 


45. scureniata (f. 53), Deshayes.—Oblonga, irregulariter poly- 
gona, angusta, depressa, subviridis, costis rotundis elevatis, rugo- 
sis, valde ineequalibus radiatis et liris irregularibus concentricis 
cancellata; apice acuto, paululim versus marginem posticum in- 
clinato ; fissura subquadrata, cicatrice in carinam elevata. Obs. 
Besides the points enumerated in the description of 2. Cumingii, 
this species differs from it in having the apex nearest to the pos- 
terior side. 


46. tava (f. 81), Quoy.—Hlongato-ovalis, valde depressa, ver- 
tice vix elevato, posticé inclinato, costis radiantibus nodulosis, 
crassis, et lineis incrementi transversis, ornata; aperturee margine 
irregulari, crenulato, intUs calloso, anticé valde sinuato. 


47. mmpricata (70,71), A. ddams,—Ovato-oblonga, subquad- 
rangularis, cinereo-albida, vertice parvo, centrali, posticé incli- 
nato, costis radiantibus imbricato-asperis, ineequalibus, et lineis 
crassis irregularibus incrementi decussata ; aperturee margine den- 
tato, anticé valde sinuato, sinu subquadrato, intts in canalem 
producto. 


48. australis (f. 67, 94), Quoy.—Ovalis, brevis, pallide fulva 
vel cinerea, elevato-conica, costis radiantibus scabris, inzequalibus 
et lineis elevatis decussata ; costis tribus anticis majoribus, apice 
submediano, paululim recurvo; sinu parvo, extis in costam, in- 
tus in canalem producto. Ods. In this species the sides are less 
compressed and the sculpture less coarse than in &. imbricata. 
Fig. 94 is a flattened variety. 


218 FISSURELLID&. 


49. Tasmant% (f. 72), Sowd.—Hlevato-conica, pallidé fulva, 
costis distantibus magnis, rugosis, et alternis minoribus radiata, 
posticé expansa, antice angustata, costis duabus prominentibus du- 
plicatis, et cicatrice in costam validam producta ; fissura brevis, 
apice acuto, obliqué recurvo. Oés., The two prominent anterior 
ribs are not so much produced as in #. australis, while the mb 
formed by the cicatrix is more so; the apex is very acute and 
turned backwards slightly on one side. 


50. Panuiensts (f. 73, 74, 75), Quoy. —Griseo-rufescens, ele- 
vato-conica, tenuis, vertice subcentrali, posticé inclinato; costis 
tuberculosis, radiantibus, albidis, et lineis transversis, elevatis, 
subclathratis, costa antica prominente ; aperture margine dentato, 
anticé valde sinuato, sinu intis in canalem producto. 


51. noputosa (f. 77), 4. Adams.—Ovata, obliqué conica, al- 
bido-rufescens, vertice subcentrali, posticé declinato, costis lon- 
gitudinalibus nodosis, radiantibus, duabus latere anterioribus per- 
magnis, liris irregularibus transversis decussata ; aperturee margine 
irregulari posticé acuminato, anticé truncato, sinuato, sinu inthis 
in canalem producto. O%s. It is ike #. Panhiensis, but the ru- 
gosities are swelled into large bosses on the large ribs. 


52. scurprius (f. 89), dA. Adams.—Ovalis, obliqué conica, 
albida, viridi radiatim maculata, vertice subcentrali, posticé valde 
declinato ; costis radiantibus, longitudinalibus corrugatis ; inter- 
stitiis pulcherrime punctato-clathratis; costd antic’ prominente 
crenulata; apertures margine undulato et crenulato, postice rotun- 
dato, anticé truncato et sinuato, sinu intts in canalem producto. 
Oés. Clathrated as in &. Panhiensis, but not so elevated and 
more compressed at the sides, with a brown marginal spot be- 
tween each of the larger ribs. 


53, atveorata (f. 82, 83), 4. Adams.—Tenuis, alba, subpel- 
lucida, depresso-conica, vertice subcentrali, posticé inclinato, 
costis radiantibus lirisque transversis irregulariter alveolata ; costis 
ad liras nodulosis ; alveolis pellucidis ; aperture margine dentato, 
antice sinuato, sinu intts in canalem producto. 


54. cravitra (f. 91), 4. Adams.—Ovata, conica, albida, vertice 
obtuso, central, posticé haud inchnato, costis radiantibus distanti- 
bus, nodulosis; interstitiis costellis duabus longitudinalibus, et 
lineis elevatis, transversis eleganter cancellatis ; aperture margine 
crenulato antice simuato, sinu quadrato, itis in canalem producto. 
Obs. Only the formation of the fissure and cicatrix distinguish 
this from F. viminea. 


FISSURELLID. 219 


55. Guapatoupensis (f. 69), Sows.—Ovata, depressa, irregu- 
laris, rugosa, apice subcentrali, costis radiantibus magmis quarum 
tribus posticis majoribus, duabus anticis maximis, cum alteris in- 
termediis et parvis; costis concentricis irregularibus ; interstitis 
foveolatis ; fissura parva, cicatrice in costam elevatam producta. 
Obs. Tf such a shell as #. Panhiensis were flattened, it would 
present an appearance resembling this species. 

56. ocronaptata (f. 66), Gme/.—Ovata, conica, patelliformis, 
costata, alba vel albo-virescente, anticé intis canaliculata, margine 
subemarginato, costis octo eminentioribus. Ods. The eighth ray 
is formed by the cicatrix- of the fissure, which ends in a shght 
notch at the margin. 


57. peprussa (f. 64, 65, 68), B/aznv.—Patelliformis, alba, 
ovato-oblonga, lateraliter depressa, costata, costis novem eminen- 
tioribus; striis transversis clathratis. 


58. RuGosa (f. 92, 93, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102), 
Quoy.—Hlongato-ovalis, oblique conica, costis radiantibus, ele- 
yatis, distantibus, asperulatis, interstitiis costellis longitudinalibus 
et lineis scabriusculis valde cancellata; vertice subcentrali, posticé 
inclinato ; aperturee margine dentato-crenulato, incisurd profunda, 
ints in canalem producté. Ods. In the whole of the varieties 
figured, which have received so many names, we see only the 
same general characters with different degrees in the asperity of 
the ribs, resulting from the age of individuals saa other modifying 
circumstances. 


59. putcura (f. 50, 51), 4. ddams.—Depresso-conica, viridis, 
albo pulcherrimé radiatim picta, vertice subcentrali, postice in- 
clinato, costis radiantibus, ineequalibus aculeato-asperis, intersti- 
tis lineis elevatis transversis clathratis; apertures margine denti- 

DEAS Ce 3G A : A Mh 
culato, anticé inciso, fissuri brevi subquadrata. Ods. This re- 
sembles the sharper aud younger specimens of /. rugosa, but all 
the radiating ribs in the anterior half of the shell are equal. 


60. sretuata (f. 103), 4. ddams.—Solidula, albida, elliptica, 
depresso-conica, apice subcentrali ; costis elevatis, subspinulosis, 
radiantibus ; interstitiis costellis et striis crebris decussantibus, 
exasperatis ; aperturee margine dentato, sinu sublaterali, intts in 
canalem apicem versus producto. Oés. This differs from any 
of the varieties of #. rugosa in the production of the ribs at their 
marginal termination, and the greater coarseness of the sculpture 
generally. 


61. suncrrpra (f. 84, $5), 4. ddams.—Ovalis, depresso-conica, 


220 FISSURELLID&. 


viridescens, vertice obtuso, ad partem posteriorem posito ; costellis 
radiantibus, interstitiis haud eequantibus, et striis incrementi or- 
natis, basi arcuati; aperture margine crenulato, incisura haud 
profunda sublaterali, intis in canalem producti. Ods. In the 
one-sided position of the notch in this ove species G. B. 8. does 
not see a sufficient reason for the erection of a separate genus. 


62. norata (f. 86, 87, 88), Zinz.—Ovalis, depressa, cinerea, 
nigro lineata et maculata; apice postico, obtuso; costis radianti- 
bus nigris, rugosis, inequalibus ; margine antico vix emarginato, 
intis cicatrice inconspicud. Ods. In this species the fissure has 
been filled up almost or quite to the margin, and is only percep- 
tible by a shght notch and an inconspicuous cicatrix. 


Genus SCUTUS, Montfort. 


Parmophorus, Scutellites, Dascinum, etc. 
Puates XIII, XIV. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum gasteropodum ; capite proboscidiformi ; 
tentaculis crassis et subulatis; oculis in tuberculis ad bases ex- 
ternas positis; pallio super testam reflexo; pedum latera cirro- 
rum serie instructis ; testa oblonga, suleiformi, depress 4, apice 
dorsali oblique posticé inclinato ; aperture margine anticé sinuato ; 
impressione musculari oblonga, posticé semicirculari. 


1. nLroneatus (f. 1, 2, 10, 21), Lamk.—Tenuis, elongata, an- 
terlus integra, striis exiguis radiata; marginibus acutis. Obs. 
The concentric lines are scarcely waved. The surface is slightly 
striated. 


2. uneuis (f. 19), Zimz.—Solida, glabra, utrinque subtrun- 
cata, striis concentricis ineequalibus impressa, dorsi animalis lon- 
gitudinem equante, marginibus incrassatis. Ods. Very straight, 
oblong, square at the anterior end, with straight lines of growth. 


3. BREvICULUS (f. 6), Blaine.—Solida, glabra, dorso convexo 
animalis longitudinem non eequante. Ods, This shell is very 
much shorter in front than the other species. 


4. corrueatus (f. 4, 7), Reeve.—Hlongata, utrinque subro- 
tundata, dorso plano, striis concentricis validis corrugatis instructo. 
Obs. Shaped like S. edongatus, but with the concentric lines waved 
strongly so as to form a corrugated surface. 


FISSURELLID&. 221 


5. eranutatus (f. 3, 20).— Testa superne tuberculis parvis 
granulata.” Ods. The concentric lines are waved and thickened 
into little knots or tubercles. These are not so conspicuous in 
the variety termed S. imbricatus, Quoy et Gaim. The shell is 
narrowed in front, with an arched back. 


Subgenus Tueatia, Gray. 
Prats XIV. 


Char. Gen. Testa patelliformis, oblonga, anticé angustata, 
dorso elevato, arcuato; apice postico et recurvo ; aperture mar- 
gine crenulato et anticé profunde sinuato. 

The narrowness of the shell in front, the arched character of 
the back, the decussated structure of the outer surface, and the 
crenulated margin of the aperture, will be thought to distinguish 
this sufficiently from Parmophorus. 


1. parmMopHoripEa (f. 5, 11, 16), Quoy.— Ovato-oblonga, 
convexa et arcuata, margine denticulato, luteo-virescente, striis 
tenuissimis asperis atque confertis cancellata; vertice obtuso, 
rimd fere nullA. Ods. This is convex and rather narrow at the 
anterior end, the radiating ribs strongest. 


2. ossga (f. 18), Gou/d.—Crassa, rudis, albida, quadrangu- 
lari-elliptica, costis radiantibus numerosis inequalibus acutis et 
strils incrementi decussata, basi arcuaté; margine crenulato, cica- 
trice musculari bene impressd, incisurd haud profunda, intis vix 
in canalem producté. Os. Much like 7. cinerea, but not so 
long nor so tapering in front. 


3. crneREA (f. 15, 17), Gow/d.—Cinerea, F. osseo similis sed 
tenuior, altior, magis disposité et delicaté clathrata, cicatrice muscu- 
lari inconspicua ; incisurad minimé profunda, in canalem interiorem 
valde insignem producté. Ods. The rays are imbricated, and the 
form is more elongated and depressed than in 2. parmophoridea. 
7’. ossea 1s a shorter and thicker shell. 


4, carinata (f. 13), 4. ddams.—Hlongato-ovalis, dorso cari- 
nata, costis longitudinalibus, radiantibus, confertis et striis trans- 
versis, concentricis, decussata ; apice posticé declinato, basi ar- 
cuata ; aperture: margine crenulato, extremitate anteriore sinuata, 
sinu intts in canalem producto. Os. The anterior sinus is conti- 
nued to the apex as a keel without and a groove within the shell. 


222 FISSURELLID®. 


5. pecussata (f. 12), A. Adams.—Elongato-ovalis, albida, 
planulata, dorso carinata, costellis longitudinalibus, radiantibus, 
et lineis elevatis concentricis eleganter clathrata, vertice acuto, 
postico; aperture margine crenulato, anticé sinuato, sinu intus 
in canalem producto. Ods. With a regularly cancellated sculp- 
ture and a keel from the anterior margin to the apex. 


6. crcatrosa (f. 14), 4. Adams.— Elongato-ovalis, alba, dorso 
valde depressa, costellis radiantibus et lineis concentricis elevatis 
decussata, vertice subpostico depresso excavato quasi cicatricoso, 
subpellucido, basi arcuat&é; apertures margine crenulato, extre- 
mitate anteriore sinuatd, simu intus in canalem producto. Obs. 
The sinus and cicatrix as in Z. carinata, but the shell flat and 
strongly cancellated. 


7. scuretiaris (f. 8, 9), 4. Adams.—Elongato-ovalis, virido- 
fusca, tenuis, dorso planulata, vertice postico, acuto, vix elevato, 
costellis radiantibus subdistantibus, et striis concentricis incre-

MONOGRAPH 


OF THE RECENT SPECIES OF THE GENUS 
SOLARIUM of Lamarck. 


By SYLVANUS HANLEY, B.A., F.L.S., etc. 


Char. Gen. More or less conoidal or disciform, with a large 
umbilical cavity, which, for the most part, is denticulately crenated 
within ; periphery more or less angular in general; mouth never 
pearly ; operculum horny ; spiral, oval, or circular. 


Section A. (Architectoniea, Bolten.) —Periphery angular; 
mouth rhombic; whorls belted above, usually with radiating 
sculpture ; inner lip straight, or nearly so, with a single canalicu- 
lated notch at the termination of the umbilical cord, which latter 
is always creno-dentated ; umbilicus never ribbed spirally ; oper- 
culum suboval, flattened, quickly spiral at one end; internal 
nucleus circular-based, composed of very numerous erect scales. 


Section B. (Philippia, Gray.)—Shell as in the last, but the 
whorls not belted posteriorly, and devoid of radiating sculpture ; 
operculum circular-based, multispiral, concave externally, inter- 
nally with a small abrupt central mammillary apex. 

Suction ©. (Zorinia, Gray.) —Surface corded throughout ; peri- 
phery bluntly biangulated or even rounded, more rarely angular ; 
mouth more frequently suborbicular; umbilicus in the typical 
species relatively narrow, and encircled by one or more spiral 
ridges; operculum circular-based, multispiral, composed of nu- 
merous membranaceous layers, either forming a peak or truncated. 

My aim in adopting these sections is to enable the conchologists 
of both the Lamarckian, and the more modern English school, to 
arrange their cabinets according to their several predilections. 


228 SOLARIUM. 


Otherwise I should have preferred for divisional purposes, the selec- 
tion of characters wholly based upon the shell, and independent 
of the rarely obtained opercula. 1 am inclined to think that such 
species as S. infundibuliforme are quite as far removed from 
Torinia as Philippia is from Architectonica, and that the loosely 
coiled Bifrontia is scarcely within the limits of the genus. 


* Sect. A. ARCHIVECTONICA. 


1. persrectivum (f. 36, 37, 38), Linn.—T. depresso-conica, 
sulcis remotis validis (corpore levi excepto) radiatim sculpta. 
Anfractus spiraliter unisulcati, infra suturam angustam brunnei 
et deinde candidi (varius subarticulati), infra sulcum spiralem 
zona fusca ornati, deinde laté fulvi seu cinerei; cingulum supra- 
suturale rufum seu fuscum, nonnunquam albo anguste articulatum. 
Carina angusta, fulvo remote articulata. Sulcus peripherie superior 
perangustus et seepius (etiamque inferior) unifilesus ; are basalis 
medium sulcis radiatum, maculis lineisve interruptis intus margi- 
natum. Crenz umbilici latioris brunnez, permulte.— Var. (incisa, 
Phil.). T. pallida ; anfractuum zona superior, nisi in corpore, fere 
albida ; zona infra suleum angusta, in corpore articulata; cingu- 
lum suprasuturale brunneo et albo articulatum. Carina angusta, 
acuta. Macule articulationesque basales seepius pauciores et. re- 
motiores : cingulum album basale haud erasse crenatum.—Vanr. 
(Australis, Plul.). T. pallidé cinerea; zona anfractuum superior 
fere ut in var. precedente ; zona angusta, infra suleum spiralem 
continua. Sulci radiantes crassi et valde remoti. Cimgulum su- 
prasuturale brunneo-rufescente articulatum. Carina obtusa. Area 
basalis media sulcis, plicisve, crassis radiata. Umbilici parvi 
crene rufe, satisque magne. Ods. Not only the Linnean type 
of Trochus perspectivus, but the great majority of the synonyms 
in the tenth edition of the ‘Systema’ indicate this common species. 
Var. S. incisa, Phil., is very pale in colour, with the crenated edge 
of the umbilicus white with light brown spots: the peculiarities 
of his Australe are most perceptible in young specimens. 

2. TROCHLEARE (f. 19, 20), Hinds.—'T. S. perspectivo persimilis, 
sed major, carneo-fulva; differt etiam apice nunquam cinereo- 
nigrescente, sulcis radiantibus magis contiguis, vittd infra suleum 
spiralem angustiore (quartam partem latitudinis illius areee tantum 
implente), et semper in anfractu ultimo articulata, sulco spirali, 
sulco peripheriz et sulco cingulum suprasuturale precedente latis ; 
articulationibus carine acutissime brunneis, latisque; maculis in 
media area disci inferioris magis irregularibus, flammasque simu- 


SOLARIUM. 229 


lantibus. Ods. This common shell has been generally accepted as 
the Zrochus perspectivus of Linneus. Of the many figures cited 
by that author in the tenth or standard edition of his ‘Systema,’ 
not one represents it; and in the twelfth, or final edition only one 
(Seba, ii. pl. 40, f. 1, 2). Hinds, whose ideal of the Linnzan 
species was the S. maximum, described this species from a rather 
elevated abnormal specimen. 


3. Maximum, (f. 5, 6), PZ2/.—T. depresso-conica, sulcis confertis 
obliquis (corpore levi excepto) radiata. Anfractus, infra suturam 
latam, suleis profundis 2 (quorum superior est latior), et super 
cingulum suprasuturale, quod (etiamque carina, basis cingula, 
zonaque superior) fusco-rufescente et albido est articulatum, altis 
tenuioribus obscuris instructi. Aree medi fulvee ; apicem versus 
cinere, pallido violaceo tincte. Sulcus peripheria superior 
latus, filis 1-2 divisus; inferior filosus, satisque latus. Basis 
area media plerumque marginem exteriorem versus subretusa ; 
interiorem versus maculis subremotis brunneis notatum subpla- 
nulata, et seepius radiatim crassé suleo-plicata. Crenze umbilici 
amplissimi permulte, vix pergrandes, albe seu pallida, aliquando 
sparsim maculate. O4s. The deeper the spiral sulci, the more 
elevated are the belts. The second zone is never articulated. 


4. mopustum, (f. 11, 12, 27, 28), P&cd.—T. depresso-conica, 
radiatim sulcata (corpore levi excepto). Anfractus superne bis 
longitudinaliter sulcati; vitta superior angusta, alba, vel brunneo 
remote maculata, vel brunneo pallidiore confertius nebulosa ; vitta 
inferior brunnea, et aliquantulum latior. Area media lata, fulva ; 
cingulum super suturam angustam vel brunneum (aliquando su- 
perne tantum), vel brunneo pallidiore et saturatiore subarticu- 
latum. Carina albida, vel strigis fulvis perangustis ornata, vel 
brunneo remotissimé subarticulata. Sulcus peripheralis angustus 
unifilosus. Basis vel tota immaculata, vel cingula ejus brunneo 
remotissimé articulata, et margo interior areee medie levigatee 
(aut sulcis obsoletis radiates) maculis linearibus brunneis pictus. 
Sulcus inter carinam et cingulum proximum basale satis latus, 
anifilosus. Umbilicus (et crene ejus albe satisque multee) hand 
permagnus. Ods. Mr. Taylor possesses an example which is devoid 
of the second spiral groove. 


5. quapricups (f. 3, 4, 25, 26), Hinds.—T. depresso-conica ; 
sutura conspicué canaliculata. Anfractus omnes sulcis 3 spiralibus 
crassis (infimo presertim) divisi, et sulcis subcontiguis radiantibus 
(nisi in anfractu ultimo) crassé decussati. Vitta prima et quarta 
brunneo et albido (vel pallidé fulvo) subremote articulate ; vitta 


230 SOLARIUM. 


secunda et tertia (omnium latissima) cmruleo-cinerex, livido- 
carne, aut rubro-fulvee. Sulcus, inter cingula gemina peripherie 
lata eequalia similiterque maculata, multo angustior quam cingula 
ipsa et in adultis filosus. Basis area media sulcis rudibus ra- 
diata, et umbilicum versus (tantum in senioribus amplum et 
multidentatum) maculis remotis marginata. Crenee umbilici (in 
junioribus ampli) rufee vel livido-fuscee. Ods. This species, 
although named only a few years, was probably known to the 
older conchologists. Both Gualtier (pl. 65, f. O, outer) and 
Chemnitz (Conch. Cab. v. f. 1691-2, copied as 8. granulatum ? in 
Kuster’s Chemnitz) have figured So/aria, which closely resemble 
the more mature examples. 


6. Taytort (f. 31, 32), Hanley.—T. depresso-conica, solida, 
fulva; sutura laté canaliculata, Anfractus im cingula 4, fusco- 
rufescente articulatim picta (tertio, quod duo preecedentia fere 
eequat, excepto) et sulcis radiantibus (nisi in anfractu ultimo) 
rudibus subremotis in rhombos latiores (¢. 3 excepto) quam altos 
diffracta, sulcis latiusculis (tertio praesertim) eximie divisi. Sulcus 
preecedens peripheriz cingula gemina, subzequalia, similiterque 
picta, valde latus, profundus; intervallum in adultis filosum, aque 
latum. Area basis media maculis brunneis perparvis tantum 
juxta marginem interiorem ornata; alibi magis minusve levis. 
Sulcus carine declivi proximus latiusculus, vix filosus. Cin- 
gulum inter suleos latos umbilico vicinos, conspicué angustum. 
Umbilici subangusti crene satis magne, carneo-rufescentes. Obs. 
In the only examples known to me, the articulation is not deve- 
loped upon the earlier turns; the first belt, however, is paler 
than the rest. The coarser sculpture, and the articulation of the 
second zone, alike distinguish it from maximum and quadriceps. 


7. Nosite (f. 35), Bolten.—T. valida, depresso-conica, albo- 
violascens ; sutura caniculata. Anfractus cingulis 4, granoso- 
crenatis (nisi in anfractu ultimo adultarum, ubi levia fiunt), et 
quinto (vel potius filo suturali) ,minore, minusque elevato,instructi : 
c. primum, sepius in adultis pallidius, et deinde quartum, ma- 
culis subremotis fulvis vel castaneis, quarum series minores sen- 
sim in ¢. secundo, et postremo in omnibus apparent, ornatum ; c. 
tertium ac. precedente (utrumque in adultis postremo vix emi- 
nens) strid mera, a ¢. sequente, et prominente, sulco lato, divisum. 
Carina satis magna utrinque filo, quorum superius (a sulco satis 
lato preecessum) crassius est, circumsepta. Basis area media (non- 
nunquam pallide fulva) cing. 3-4 granosis punctisque pietis, quie 
raro Marginem ejus exteriorem pertingunt, munita. Crene um- 


SOLARIUM. 231 


bihei coarctati pauce, permagne, in adultis albidee. Oss. Our 
figure of the adult (f. 35) does not adequately represent the most 
striking characteristics, the twin central belt and the broad groove 
which succeeds it. Figure 2 is a fair representation of the young 
of both this and the succeeding species, which greatly resemble 
each other in that immature state which best displays the granular 
sculpture. 


8. aranutatum (f. 1, 2), Deshayes (as of Lamarck).—T. 
valida, depresso-conica, violaceo-albida, vel pallidé ceruleo-viola- 
cea: sutura modicé canaliculata. Anfractus cingulis 4 granoso- 
crenatis (vel potius subgranosis), ultimo in adultis, ubi levia, 
semper, autem eminentia, fiunt, excepto, et preeterea, filo suturali, 
in primis subgranoso, instructi: c. superius, latiusque, maculis 
brunneis magnis, satisque proximis, conspicué ornatum; c. cetera 
subzequalia, et in anf. inferioribus (etiamque in basi) adultorum 
maculis minoribus confertim picta; intervalla omnia sulcis latis 
equalibus profundeé exarata. Carina, basis, etc., sicut in S. zodile, 
nisi, fortasse, dentes plures et vix albidi. Ods. The only adult 
specimen known to me did not arrive in time for delineation. 
The broad separation of its second and third belts, which do not 
become depressed as in zodi/is, easily distinguish it from the ma- 
ture of that earlier-known shell. The tints are likewise deeper, 
and the spots more numerous. Lamarck’s too briefly described 
granulatum, as defined by the synonyms, should rather be the 
previous species. 


9. Barrpir (f. 48, 49), Handey.—T. depresso-conica, pallidé 
fulva; cingula (primo, ultimoque albo, exceptis) maculis obscuris 
remotis picta : : sutura perangusta. Anfractus in cingula 5, 
sulcis radiata, divisi; 2 prima subzequalia (secundum fortasse pau- 
lulum minus) ; tertium ambobus precedentibus simul equum ; 
quartum, sulco precessum, primo aliquantum latius; quintum, 
sulco lato preecessum, manifesté angustum. Peripherize carina 
secunda (suleum satis angustum ? sequens) adeo eminens ut peri- 
pheria acutangularis videtur. Crene umbilici magne. Obs. 
The umique example of our national museum is not mature, but 
has too salient characters to be passed over. 


10. prorum (f. 33, 34), Plil.—T. §. purpurato persimilis, sed 
pallidé fulva; suture nives et maximé canaliculate ; macule lon- 
ginque ; sulci radiantes rudiores ; peripherize sulcus inferior haud 
filosus; disci basalis medium Alin serie macularum fulvo- 
brunnearum versus umbilicum (cujus crenze candid nonnun- 
quam sunt sparsim maculate) tantum ornatum.  Sculptura

basalis in junioribus fere pliciformis. Os. The acquisition, by 
Mr. Taylor, of all the original specimens of Sodaria, described by 
Hinds, from Sir K. Belcher’s collection, has enabled me to identify, 
by a long chain of connecting links, the immature fragilis of that 
naturalist with the adult pictum of Philippi. The type of the 
former was sharply carinated, nearly white, with the fourth belt 
continuously and the first interruptedly brown; the prominent 
radiating riblets of the white lower disk are obscurely cut towards 
the umbilicus by a faint spiral groove; the umbilical teeth are 
smaller and more numerous. ‘The mere fry are not unlike the 
top of 8. quadriceps, but the great length of the third row of 
grains distinguishes them. The adult appears to have been known 
to both Seba (iii. pl. 40, f. 41, 42) and Chemnitz (f. 1694, 
copied in Kuster’s edition, Sol. pl. 2, f. 4), although I dare not 
positively pronounce upon their somewhat rough drawings. 


11. Cuminetr (f. 44, 45), Hanley.—T. subdepresso-conica, 
albida seu pallidé fulva, infra suleum spiralem zon lata subma- 
culosd picta: dimidium inferius anfractuum majorum seriebus 3 
macularum linearium brunnearum ornatum. Anfractus sulcis 
(nisi labrum versus) subconfertis radiati, et suleo unico spirali

rior spiral sulci of the lower disk are almost cancellated in imma- 
ture examples.

Reever (f. 9, 10), Handey.—T. fulvo-carnea, vel livido- 
carnea, in utroque anfractu maculis parvis saturate fulvis in serie- 
bus 5-6, ordinatis, cincta; striis, denique obsoletis, contiguis

Anfractus haud celeriter expansi, cingulo suprasuturali (nonnun- 
quam duobus) quod seepius est albidum et fulvo-brunneo remote 
articulatum, infra sulcum spiralem latum minimé profundum ornati, 
alibi inconspicue (sulco infra zonam primam excepto) spiraliter 
sculpti. Basis et peripheria fere ut in S. /evigato, sed cingulum 
proxumbilicale (cum crenis parvis permultisque umbilici coarctati) 
confertim maculosum. Os. The upper disk of this shell, whose 
apex is of a dark liver colour, reminds one a littie of Zrochus 
zizyphinus; upon the lower there is an obsolete spiral sulcus 
beyond that which bounds the proxumbilical belt. The only 
specimen known to me is an elevated abnormal form, and I think 
both the conoidal shape and the lower suprasutural belt result 
from the coiling of the (7) whorls upon the carial belt instead 
of, as usual, upon the groove above it. The central rows of 
spots are somewhat linear. 8. Zevigatum and S. purpuratum are 
its nearest congeners. 


17. ruticrnosum (f. 13, 14), Hinds.—T. depresso-conica, 
sulcis subremotis (in ultimo anfractu obsoletis) radiata; sutura

suturale angustum ; sulcus inter c. peripherale latum et carinam 
angustam fulvo-maculatam perangustus et crassé unililosus. 
Basis planulata: sulcus perangustus, infra carinam filosus : area 
media pallida versus umbilicum satis amplum (cujus crene per- 
multee sunt et rufo-fuscee) maculis subrhombeis subcontiguis 
brunneis satis arcté ornata. O/s. In the only mature individual 
I have yet seen, the umbilical wall is adorned with spiral brown 
lines, and the characteristic streaks, which do not reach to the 
encircling sulcus, are converted into two interrupted zones on the 
earlier volutions.

Area media crebré rugosa, prope umbilicum fusco minute macu- 
lata, tum cara parva monilifera albi cineta. Umbilici margo 
nodulis magnis fuscis ornata. Ods. The most distinguishing 
features of this beautiful shell are the brown-reddish flashes of 
colour, in which it resembles S. fuliginosum, and the rounded 
lenticular base, in which it differs from all species of the Architec- 
tonica section.” Possibly an abnormal form of 17.

mediocrem valde crenatum cingente, sculpta.” Os. Unknown to 
me. Philippi adds that the colourless specimen sent lim by 
Seacchi,in tolerable condition, exhibited two scarcely raised threads 
between the belts; that its keel, although acute and very de- 
pressed, was rounded off at the angle; that its convex base (a 
little concave, however, before the extreme margin), rayed with 
dichotomous folds, a continuation of the umbilical teeth, was 
otherwise smooth (the specified sculpture excepted) ; that its um- 
bilical ridge projected considerably inwards; and that its mouth 
was very depressed, and very sharply angulated at the outer lip. 


20. PLACENTULA (f. 23, 24), Hinds. —T. discoidea, fulva; cin- 
gulum marginale rufo maculatum, carinam unicam latam obtusam

licum versus satis amplum pallidum multidentatum, convexa vel

secondary keels, and of an infrasutural sulcus.

translucent in texture) of this beautiful fossil at present known, 
the keel protrudes downwards, the ribbed portion of the base is 
convex, and the belted area is somewhat concave. ‘The absence 
of an umbilical belt is a striking peculiarity.

* A shell which, if not identical, must be nearly allied, is thus described by Valen- 
ciennes in the Zoology to Humboldt and Bonpland’s Voyage (vol. ii. p. 270) :— 

5. BICANALICULATUM.—T. conica, subgranulosa, albida, flammulis (multis) rubro- 
fuscis eleganter picta ; apertura rotundata, umbilicum versus canaliculis 2 angulosis. 
—Acapuleo, 6-4 lin. 

The author remarks that the description of Hebert: would mostly apply to it, but 
that shell appears to have a coarser granulation, and three umbilical channels. The 
belts, of which there are 4 upon each turn, and 6 upon the almost flat base, are but 
slightly granulated. The mouth is rounded by the obsoleteness of the keel. There 
are 2 ridges in the open umbilicus, the outer of which is the spiral keel whose white 
grains gleam so conspicuously within it. 

Menke, erudite, but ever obscure, has quoted two figures of perspectiviunculus 
(Geve, f. 275, and Chemn. f. 2708, 9) for his Euomphalus radiatus (Zeit. Malak. 1850, 
p- 170), ashell referred to that species by Carpenter, yet whose umbilicus suits not the 
following description :—‘'l’. orbiculata, convexo-depressa, spira planiuscula ; fusco- 
nigra, albo radiata ; anfractibus 5, liris conspicuis densé granulato-crenatis, confertis

gulum primum, et cingula 2 circa umbilicum alba, immaculata. 
Obs. A very long series of specimens has induced me to unite 
forms that at first I should scarcely have hesitated to rank as dis- 
tinct. ‘The species varies greatly as to shape, breadth of sulci, 
prominence of the belt, and diversity of colour and pattern: the 
umbilicus is always more contracted in the Trochoid than in the 
Rotelliform examples. In one specimen only have I descried 
two umbilical ridges. As a general rule the depressed specimens, 
if dark, come from the Sandwich Isles, if with much white from 
Annaa; the latter when conoid from Borneo, the former if conoid 
from the Society Isles: the flammular are chiefly from the Philip- 
pines and the Red Sea. Pdanulata (f. 63) is perhaps distinct. 


27. Bisutcatum (f. 71, 72), D’Ordigny.—tT. perparva, orbi-

margine ejus dentato amplectans. Porca umbilicalis inter sulcos 
profundos 2, in apertura costas simulantes, unica, valida, angusta. 


29. cyctosroma (f. 65, 66, 67), Menke.—T. conica, nigro- 
fumosa, ad peripheriam albo articulata. Anfractus spire superné 
declives, in cingula 4, quorum inferiora 2, caeteris majora, albo 
(nonnunquam, autem, ultimum solum) sunt articulata, sulcis 
latius divisi : cingula et intervalla sulcis radiantibus confertis validis 
erenolirata. Cingula corporis 10, distincta. Basis pallidior, ro- 
tundata ; sulcorum ejus sculptura magis obscura. Umbilici pal- 
lidé coaretati crenze yalidz ; porcee ejus spirales 2-3.—Var. cylin-

cingulum anf. ultimi a proximis laté segregatum.—Var. datior. 
Intervalla costarum unifilosa ; sulcus peripheriz Jatus ; basis magis 
explanata; umbilicus magis coarctatus. 

Obs. In the more characteristic examples, the bands upon the 
base are pale, and the sulci chestnut; the intervals between the belts, 
too, are not threaded: other specimens, however, show a very 
narrow thread beneath the fourth, fifth (which with the ninth, are 
the broadest), and the sixth belt. 

Menke has so imperfectly described both this and Athiops, 
that it would have been impossible to have determined his species, 
had it not been for their republication by his friend Philippi. 

The 8. xubilum of Menke (MSS.), founded on a single worn 
specimen, was not improbably a variety of this polymorphous 
species. It is said to differ in being much smaller, having an ad- 
ditional umbilical ridge, and in the sulci being narrower, pricked, 
and more shallow. Philippi thus describes it (Zeitschrift Malak. 
1848, p. 170 ):— 

“'T’. eloboso-conica, albida, in mediis anfractibus fusco macu- 
lata seu tessellata; anfractibus convexiusculis, sulcis 3 seu 4 1m- 
presso-punctatis exaratis, ultimo anfractu terete sulcis 10 exarato ; 
umbilico angusto, margine obsoleté crenulato, intus cingulis spi- 
ralibus 4 munito.” 3-35 lm. Cape Haiti. 

The shell is figured in Philippi’s monograph (Kuster, Sol. 
pl. 4, f. 2).

specimen | have ever seen, and is apparently adult, has only three 
turns beyond the smooth nucleus; its want of colour may result 
from its not having been taken alive.

Conch. Rudolstadt (pl. 11, f. 1). In characteristic specimens 
there are 3 peripherial belts, of which the second is the smallest. 
Mr. Hinds drew up his description from a very young shell now 
in the collection of Mr. Taylor. According to Philippi, canadicu- 
Jatum of Lamarck is the fossil analogue.

The mouth, from the slow volutional increase, is very small. In 
the variety (?) sérzgata (f. 94) there are 3 approximate narrower, 
and 3 broader belts under the lower peripherial one ; the threads, 
if any, are most minute: there are 4 or 5 ridges on the umbilical 
wall.

* Jn the ‘ Zeitschrift fiir Malakozoologie,’ 1850 (p. 171), Menke has described as 
nearly related to this species a Mazatlan shell which, if not this doubtful variety, is 
entirely unknown to me. The somewhat rude figures he refers to (Chemnitz, v. f. 
1708, 9; Geve, f. 275) as illustrative, which are almost universally accepted as repre- 
sentations of perspectiviunculus, do not exhibit the patulous umbilicus he especially 
indicates. His generic allocation is, likewise, peculiar. ‘‘ EuOMPHALUS RADIATUS. 
B. testa orbiculata, convexo-depressa, spira planiuscula; fusco-nigra, albo radiata;

Of the following species, ascribed rightly or wrongly to this 
genus, I am unable to procure examples. 


rricinctum, Phil. in Kuster, ed. Chemn. Solar. p. 36.—“ T. mi- 
nima, albida, fusco radiata ; anfractibus teretibus, sutura profunda 
divisis, transversim corrugatis ; cingulis 2 in anfractibus superiori- 
bus, 3 in anfractu ultimo, supremo striis elevatis a sutura radian- 
tibus secto; umbilico aperto, pervio, marginato, striis elevatis ra- 
diantibus, sulcisque concentricis granulato-decussato. Gabon, in 
Guined. 13 lin.” The unfigured specimen was in the collection 
which M. Llargilliert bequeathed to the city of Rouen. From 
its minuteness and the peculiarity of its umbilicus its generic lo- 
cation may be doubted. 

impLexuM, Mighels, Proc. Bost. N. H. ii. p. 22 (copied by 
Phil. in Kust. ed. Chemn. Solar. p. 37).— Depressed, subdiscoid, 
greyish-white, with a few brown spots; whorls 3, flattened, with 
5 rounded revolving ridges on each, intersected by numerous, 
impressed, transverse strie; aperture circular; umbilicus large 
and deep. 4; inch. Oahu.” The description (in English only) 
is too brief for the determination of a species : it would tolerably 
suit a young dorsuosum. 

pELPHINULOIDES, LD’ Orb. Moll. Cuba, p. 67 (copied in Phil. 
Kuster, Solar. p. 35), pl. 19, f. 21-24.—“ T. trochoidea, trans- 
versim costata, alba; spira elevata, conica; anfractibus convexis, 
supra 4 costatis, subtis 8 (costatis) ; umbilico lato, non canali- 
culato, costato, interné subcrenulato; apertura rotundata. 4 


* In the Zoology to Humboldt and Bonpland’s Voyage (ii. p. 269), I find a spe- 
cies described (said to be almost the living analogue of the fossil mil/egranum) which 
probably belongs to this section. 

S. eranosum, Valence. ‘‘'T. conoidea, subdepressa, infra rotundata, gibbosa, peni- 
tus ubique granosa, rufo variegata: umbilico coarctato, dentato. Acapuleo. 9-4 
lin.” The shape is said to be less conic than in granulatum, and the whorls, each 
having 5 or 6 granulated belts, the keel alone being smooth, to be more convex ; 
the colouring to be reddish with conspicuous chestnut spots along the course of the 
spire, and red spots, paler than the others, near the white keel ; the base, which is 
granulated throughout, to be encircled by 5 rows of slightly rounded tubercles: the 
umbilical teeth to be strong and white.

mill.” The figure neither displays the trochoid shape nor the 
elevated spire attributed to the species. If a Solarium, it is an 
abnormal one. ‘The type is not recorded as present in the British 
Museum catalogue of D’Orbigny’s collection. 

pLaNnorsis, Blainy. Dict. Sc. Nat. xlix. p. 411.— “Small, white, 
nearly flat, discoid, with scarcely tuberculated spirai sulci and trans- 
verse striz. The very open umbilicus with a row of tubercles, the 
last of which is notched. Mouth rounded.” I cannot pretend 
to identify a species from so inadequate a definition, the original 
of which is in the French language. 

EGENUM, Gould, Proc. Bost. N. H. i. p. 84; i Wilkes 
Eaploring Expedition —“T. parva, ovato-conica, exalbida, sub- 
margaritacea; spira anfractibus 6 convexis, liris acutis 4 cinc- 
tis, posterioribus granulatis ; basis convexiuscula, perforata ; um- 
bilico scalariformi, ad ambitum acuto, crenulato ; apertura cir- 
cularis, labiis fere continuis. ;2;-+ inch.” Gould remarks that it is 
not strictly a Solarium; yet nearer one in aspect than a Zrochus, 
closely resembles S. deadbatwm, and in size, form, and colour, re- 
minds one of Margarita obscura. 

BICARINATUM, Phil. in Kust. ed. Chemn. Sol. p. 23, pl. 3, f. 14. 
—“ TT. depressa, strigis albis et nigris alternantibus picta: an- 
fractibus levissimis, superius carinato-angulatis, supra carinam 
planis, infra eam plano-declivibus; ultimo in peripherii acuté 
carinato : umbilico laté infundibuliformi, striis elevatis radiantibus 
concentricisque cancellato, in ambitu crenulato: apertura exacteé 
rhombea. 1-14 lin. Chinese seas.” Judging from the figure, I 
much doubt its bemg a member of this genus. 

nanum, Koch, Zeit. Mal. 1851, teste Philippi, in Kust. Chemn. 
Sol. pl. 4, f. 5.—“T. depresso-globosa, alba, strigis radiantibus 
rufis picta; anfractibus rotundatis, superius angulatis, cingulis 
elevatis subgranulatis cirea 4 in anfractibus superioribus; basi 
levi; umbilico mediocri, infundibuliformi, margine crenato, intus 
striis elevatis radiantibus et concentricis granulato-decussato ; 
apertura subrhombea. 23-3} lin. Chili?” 

Arcutra, Costa, Mem. Acad. Napoli, \844.—“'T. orbiculato- 
plana, albo-flavidula, longitudinaliter sulcata, transversim crenu- 
lata; anfractibus supra carinatis; umbilico amplissimo, denticu- 
lato.” 74 mill. Tarentum. It is further said to be flat and 
angular above, with a rounded mouth, and only fine denticulations 
at its umbilicus. Possibly a form of séramineun. 

The Zrochus perspeculatus of Meuschen was a Solarium: it is 
thus inadequately described in the ‘ Zoophylaceum Gronovianum ” 


246 SOLARIUM. 

(p. 823, n. 1485) :—* Testa crenato-umbilicata, convexa, obtusa, 
marginata, longitudinaliter crenato-striata.” It is said to come from 
the Indian seas, and only to differ from his perspectivus (the syno- 
nymy of which includes ¢roch/eare, and almost all the then known 
allied species) by its contiguous, longitudinal, crenated striz. 


Genus BIFRONTIA, Desh. 


Gen. Char. Discoidal, planorbular, paucispiral, keeled above 
and below ; body-whorl slightly detached; apex sunken; mouth 
squarish; no umbilicus; operculum externally conical, truncated at 
the top. 


1. Zancima (Bif. f. 1, 2), PAid.—T. parva, tenuis, discoidea, 
fulva (seepius colore saturatiore et pallidiore alterné nebulosa), 
supra plano-concava, infra concava. Anfractus pauci, laxati 
(plerumque ad aperturam, apicemque, disjuncti), cingulo confertim 
squamoso-granoso, superne et inferné utrinque marginati; alibi 
leves, nitidi, et (are& latissimé subpland inter peripheric carinas 
2 except) convexi. Cingulum interius multo minus; c. exte- 
rius, in anfractu ultimo carinam valde eminentem simulans. 
Apertura subquadrata; labium continuum, haud reflexum, sculp- 
ture expers. Obs, None of my specimens exhibit the peripheral 
threads delineated (pl. 28, f. 11a), but not described, by Philippi. 
The operculum is of a truncated conic shape and subconcentri- 
cally lamellar; it is very like that of Zorinza. ‘The entire shell is 
enveloped by a dull epidermis, which at times is so wrinkled, that 
the periphery seems spirally striated. One or both of the keels 
is here and there obscurely cloven.

MONOGRAPHS OF THE GENERA 
CYCLOSTREMA, ADEORBIS, ann TEINOSTOMA. 


By Artnur Anpams, R.N., F.L.S., erc. 


Genus CYCLOSTREMA, Warryatt. 


Shell orbicular depressed, widely umbilicated; spire small; 
whorls rounded, spirally ridged, radiately ribbed or cancellated. 
Aperture not pearly within, orbicular; peritreme continuous, 
acute. 

This genus with its allies, which we have here, for the sake of 
convenience, considered in the light of subgenera, together with 
the genus Adeordis, appear to constitute a peculiar group of Zro- 
chids, the shells of which may at once be distinguished by the 
absence of pearly nacre in the interior of their apertures. The 
genus V2trined/a, of C. B. Adams, seems more nearly related to 
the Seisswrel/a race than to Adeorbis. 

1. cancetnata (pl. 255, f. 5, 6), Marryatt.—Testa alba, lineis 
longitudinalibus et transversis elevatis decussantibus inde cancel- 
lata; apertura labiis cancellatis; cancellis transversim striatis. 
Obs. This beautiful shell, procured by Captain Marryatt from 
West Indies, and made the type of a peculiar genus at the sug- 
gestion of Dr. Leach, differs from the other species of the genus 
im being plicate above and below a peripheral keel ; the specific 
name is hardly characteristic. We have reproduced the original 
description. 

2. tavis (pl. 255, f. 3, 4), Kien.—Testa orbicularis, nivea ; 
spird depressi; anfractibus transversim costellatis; costellis re- 
gularibus, superis, distantioribus ; interstitiis leviter concavis ; su- 
turis profundis subcanaliculatis ; labro simplici; umbilico per- 
amplo. Obs. The Cyclostrema diatretum, Gould, is the same as 
this species, which has been considered by Reeve as the Zwrbo 

VOL. LI. 21 


250 CYCLOSTREMA. 


niveus of Chemnitz. That shell however appears to be accu- 
rately represented by our Zudiola nivea, f. 35 and 36. 


8. Reevrana (pl. 255, f. 9, 10), Hinds.—Testa orbicularis, 
subdiscoidea, mutica; spira depressiusculd ; anfractibus convexis, 
longitudinaliter carinulatis ; carinulis numerosis, superis, distanti- 
oribus ; interstitiis liris obliquis corrugato-clathratis ; labro sim- 
plici; umbilico peramplo. Ods. In sculpture this perhaps is the 
most beautiful species of the genus, although some others may 
equal it in elegance of form. It is dedicated to a voyage-natu- 
ralist who was well qualified to appreciate the beautiful in shells. 


4. ctncuLirura (pl. 255, f. 13, 14), 4. dd.—Testa orbicu- 
laris, nitida; spiré depress’; anfractibus rotundatis; carinulis 
transversis, acutis, eequidistantibus ; interstitiis (sub lente) tenuis- 
simé longitudinaliter striatis; apertura subcirculari, supra sub- 
angulata; umbilico mediocri. Ods. This is a solid species with 
wide-apart conspicuous concentric ridges, the intervals being, in 
very fresh specimens, finely concentrically striated. In good con- 
dition it is almost semiopaque and has a glossy appearance. 


5. micans (pl. 255, f. 7, 8, 27). —Testa turbinata, alba, nitida; 
anfractibus convexis, longitudinaliter oblique costellatis, transver- 
sim carinulatis ; carinulis nodulosis ; umbilico mediocri ; apertura 
circulari ; peristomate continuo, subincrassato. Os. This is the 
Cyclostrema pulchellum of Dr. Dunker, who obtained it from 
Japan. The author has likewise found the species abundantly in 
the inland sea of that country, but had previously described the 
species from the Philippine Islands. 


6. ancutava (pl. 255, f. 1, 2), A. Ad—tTesta orbicularis, 
discoidea ; spirA depressi ; anfractibus transversim costellatis ; cos- 
tellis regularibus, eequidistantibus ; interstitiis tenuissimé striatis ; 
anfractu ultimo biangulato, supra costellato, in medio plano, infra 
costellato ; apertura subangulati; peritremate interrupto; um- 
bilico permagno. Ods. This is a very fine and elegant species, 
brought by Mr. Cuming from the prolific islands of the Pinhp- 
pine Archipelago. 


7. sutcata (pl. 255, f. 11, 12), A. Ad—Testa orbicularis, 
discoidea; spird planiusculi; anfractibus convexis; costellis 
transversis, confertis, regularibus, interstitiis ; profundé sulcosis ; 
suturis profundis, canaliculatis; umbilico patulo; peromphalo 
levi. Obs. This species is common in the China Sea; Mr. 
Cuming has found it in the Phihppines, and the author has met 
with it rather abundantly in the seas of Japan. 


CYCLOSTREMA. 2511 


8. Brant (pl. 255, f. 25), Fisch.—Testa crassiuscula, compla- 
nata, orbicularis, alba, laté umbilicata, supra concentricé et validé 
costata (costis 5), subtus nitida, obsolete suleata, compressa, con- 
cava; anfractibus 44, subplanulatis, ultimo acuté bicarinato, 
inter carinas levi; apertura rotundi; margine dextro arcuato, 
supra minuté sulcato, infra angulato. Ods. A singular species, 
described by M. Fischer from Guadeloupe, with the peripheral 
keel, causing an angular projection at the lower part of the 
peritreme. 


9. VerrEauxtt (pl. 255, f. 17, 18), Fiseh.—Testa crassiuscula, 
complanata, discoidea, alba, nitida, laté umbilicata, concentricé 
minuté sulcata; anfractibus 4, subplanulatis, ultimo permagno 
dilatato, carinis tribus munito, 1 superiore, 1 media, area plana 
separatis, et 1 inferiore minore ; aperturd rotundatd, transvers4 ; 
margine dextro elongato, carinis productis tricuspidato, subin- 
crassato. Obs. This species is remarkable for the points of the 
peristome, which are formed by the prolongation of the keels, and 
which cause it to somewhat resemble in form the genus Zeino- 
stoma. 


10. rornata (pl. 255, f. 19, 20), 4. dd. Testa orbicularis, 
turbinato-discoidea ; spira elatiuscula; anfractibus convexis, cos- 
tellis concentricis elevatis eequidistantibus ornatis ; interstitiis sim- 
plicibus; suturis profundis; umbilico profundo. Obs. This 
species very closely resembles in sculpture and general appear- 
ance C. sulcata (f. 11, 12), but its form is different, the spire 
being more elevated, the whorls more rounded, and the umbilicus 
smaller. 


1]. Scurammei (pl. 255, f. 26), Hisch.—Testa planorboidea, 
compressa, orbicularis, corneo-alba, aperté umbilicata; costis ra- 
diantibus validis; carmé mediana insertione costarum cristata, et 
carinis 2 (1 superiore, 1 inferiore, obsoleté nodosis) ornata; an- 
fractibus 3; apertura rotundaté; margine dextro acuto. Obs. 
This species has the aspect of a small Ammonite, or a Planordis 
eristatus, with three rows of spines. 

12. crnevuata (pl. 255, f. 23, 24), Dér.—Testa subdiscoidea, 
lactea, umbilicata; spird depressd, anfractibus quaternis, subito 
crescentibus, tricarinatis instruct’; sutura incisi; apertura sub- 
rotundaté. Ods. A very neatly formed carinate species, figured 
from a specimen obtained by the author in Japan, and which 
seems to represent very nearly the figure of C. angulata figured 
by Dr. Dunker in his ‘ Mollusca Japonica.’ 


13. excavata (pl. 255, f. 15, 16), Cor.—Testa orbiculato- 


252 DARONIA. 


depressa, solidiuscula, alba, late et profundé umbilicata; spird 
prominulé; anfractibus subconvexis, supra leevibus, infra concen- 
tricé sulcatis, umbilico carina promineute circumcincto. Obs. A 
species of simple sculpture, of very elegant form, described by 
P. P. Carpenter from the seas of China. 


14, anaetypta (pl. 255, f. 28, 29), 4. dd.—Testa depresso- 
turbinata, alba, nitida, profundeé et late umbilicata; spira elatius- 
cula; anfractibus rotundatis; carinulis concentricis acutis crenu- 
latis ; interstitiis lineis radiantibus laté clathratis ornatis, basi cari- 
nulis confertis denticulatis instructis; umbilico magno, intus 
radiatim lirato; apertura orbiculari, margine crenato. Ods. A 
very beautiful, richly-embossed shell, with a style of sculpture very 
much resembling that of C. Reeviana, but the form is more tur- 
binate than in that pretty species. 


15. ammonoceras (pl. 255, f. 21, 22), 4. dd.—Testa de- 
presso-turbinata, discoidea, late umbilicata, alba, solida, concen- 
tricé striata, radiatim costata ; costis tenuibus, subdistantibus, ad 
suturas evanidis ; anfractibus rotundatis; apertura circulari; pe- 
ritremate continuo; labio callo parvo resupinato instructo. Cds. 
The only species resembling this is C. Schrammi, Fisch., from 
Guadeloupe, which has the same remarkable Cornu-Ammonis 
appearance, but the whorls of which, instead of being rounded, 
have two concentric keels which gives the species, says M. Fischer, 
the appearance of Planorbis cristatus, with three rows of spines. 


16. Brrorcata (pl. 255, f. 30, 31), 4A. dd.—Testa parva, 
subdiscoidea ; spird depressi, albida, laté umbilicata; anfractibus 
3, subplanulatis, ultimo anticé dilatato, supra levi, infra con- 
centricé striato, ad peripheriam liris duabus validis transversis in- 
structo; apertura circulari; peritremate continuo, simplici. Ods. 
This little species differs from any of those described, and may 
easily be recognized by the double keel which surrounds the 
periphery. 

Subgenus Daronta, A. Ad. 


Shell orbicular, discoidal, evolute, spire depressly concave ; 
whorls rounded, more or less disunited ; aperture circular ; peri- 
treme continuous. Oés. I have considered it advisable to keep 
this as a distinct subgenus, on account of the very peculiar form 
and sculpture of the shell. The type species greatly resembles 
Ammonia spirula, L., or Spirula australis, Lam. 

1. spiruta (pl. 255, f. 32, 83), 4. dd.—Testa orbicularis, dis- 
coidea, evoluta; spira depresso-concavé; anfractibus rotundatis, 


TUBIOLA. 253 


primis contiguis, ultimo distincto, transversim costulatis ; costellis 
subconfertis, eequidistantibus ; interstitiis tenuissimé- longitudi- 
naliter striatis; apertura circulari; peritremate continuo. Ods. 
The figure is from a beautiful perfect specimen, picked up by Mr. 
Cuming on the sands in one of the Philippine Islands. It is at 
present unique in his unrivalled collection. 

2. cycLorrna (pl. 255, f. 34), 4. dd.—Testa discoidea, orbicu- 
laris, vix evoluta; spira pland; anfractibus rotundatis, contiguis, 
minuté striatis, simplicibus; apertura circulari, expansiuscula ; 
peritremate continuo. Oés. This species was picked up on the 
sands at Kino-O-Sima, in Japan, by the author. It is not quite 
perfect, but is very distinct from D. spiruda. 


Subgenus Tustoxa, A. Ad. 


Shell subevolute or loosely enrolled ; whorls rounded, simple, 
concentrically striated; aperture subcircular; peritreme continuous; 
margin acute, entire. Ods. This little group resembles somewhat 
Daronia, but the texture and aspect more approximates the genus 
Adeorbis. 

1. nivea (pl. 255, f. 35,36), Chemn.—Testa ovato-orbicularis, 
nivea, tenuis, semipellucida; spird depress; anfractibus rapidé 
crescentibus, convexiusculis, concentricé creberrimé liratis lineis- 
que incrementi decussatis; suturis profundis, subcanaliculatis ; 
anfractu ultimo magno, anticé dilatato, ad peripheriam rotundato, 
ad peritrema contiguo ; aperturé perobliqua, subcirculari, posticé 
angulaté; peritremate continuo, simplici, acuto; umbilico per- 
amplo, patulo, perspectivo. Oés. This shell agrees exactly with 
the original figure and description of Chemnitz’s Turbo niveus. 
The Delphinula nivea, Reeve, is the same as D. levis, Kien., and 
C. diatretum, Gould. 

2. CORNUELLA (pl. 255, f. 37, 38), A. dd.—Testa subdiscoidea, 
ovato-oblonga, tenuis, sordidé alba, laté umbilicata ; apice elato ; 
anfractibus 34, rapidé accrescentibus, rotundatis, ultimo ad peri- 
trema soluto, striis incrementi ornato; apertura perobliqua, trans- 
versim ovata; peritremate continuo, acuto, integro, dilatato. Ods. 
In this species the whorls are disunited as in Daronia spirula, but 
they are not rolled on the same plane as in that group. 

3. pivisa (pl. 255, f. 39, 40), J. Adams.—Testa turbinata, 
subevoluta, alba, tenuis, laté umbilicata, infra spiraliter costellata ; 
apertura magna, circulari. Ods. Shell “pure white, lower disk 
spirally striated or costellated, aperture large and circular, um- 
bilicus capacious.”’ 


254 MORCHIA. 


Subgenus Microragca, 4. Ad. 


Shell globosely turbinate, widely umbilicate, somewhat porcel- 
lanous, radiately rugosely plicate; sutures channelled; whorls 
crenulate at the sutures. Aperture semicircular ; peritreme con- 
tinuous ; inner lip thickened, arcuate; outer lip with the margin 
thickened; umbilicus crenulate. Ods. These very peculiar little 
shells are closely allied to Morchia, but the last whorl does not 
embrace the others, as in that form, and the umbilicus is narrower 
and crenulated at the margin. The outer lip also is varied. 


1. cRENELLIFERA (pl. 255, f. 41, 42), 4. dd.—Testa globoso- 
turbinata, laté umbilicata, alba, solida, semiopaca, longitudinali- 
ter plicato-rugosa ; suturis canaliculatis ; anfractibus ad suturas 
crenulatis ; apertura subcirculari ; labio incrassato, arcuato ; um- 
bilico margine crenato, Ods. In the general form and crenate 
suture this curious little species resembles Isanda coronata, A. 
Ad., which, however, on account of the polished porcellanous 
character of the shell, 1 have referred to the family Uméonide. 


Subgenus Morcuta, 4. Ad. 


Shell obliquely ovate, depressed, widely umbilicated, convex 
above, flat beneath ; whorls rapidly increasing, the last dilated, 
ascending, and embracing the other whorls as far as the apex. 
Aperture oblong, oblique, somewhat horizontal, dilated below, 
narrowed above; peritreme continuous, thickened. Ods. This 
curious little genus resembles Zeinostoma in the fact of the last 
whorls embracing the others, but the base is not covered with 
a callus, and the mouth is not anteriorly produced. 


1. osvorura (pl. 255, f. 43, 44), A. Ad.—Testa obliqué 
ovata, alba, depressa, laté umbilicata ; anfractu ultimo ad_peri- 
pheriam angulato, striis incrementi confertis ornato, ad suturas 
corrugato-crenulato ; umbilico patulo, Ods. This shell appears 
to be rare in Japan. I only obtained two specimens; one at 
Tsu-Sima, in 26 fathoms, and the other at Takano-Sima, in shell- 
sand. It is a curious form, with an open umbilicus, and with the 
last whorl encroaching upon and nearly covering the others, as it 
does in Neritula and Teinostoma. 


Genus ADEORBIS, Searles Wood. 


Shell depressly conical-orbicular, deeply umbilicated ; whorls 
flattened, spirally striated or smooth, the last more or less angu- 


ADEORBIS. 2b 


late at the periphery. Aperture not pearly within, transversely 
ovate; inner lip sinuated; peritreme interrupted; outer lip 
arcuate, simple, acute. OJs. The principal difference between 
this genus and Cyclostrema consists in the more or less trochi- 
form appearance of the shell, in the whorls being either smooth 
or spirally striated, and especially in the peritreme not being cir- 
cular and continuous. 


1. suBcartnata (pl. 256, f. 7), Montag.—Testa suborbicu- 
laris, depressa, laté umbilicata ; anfractu ultimo ad peripheriam 
subcarinato, liris quatuor spiralibus ornato; aperturé rotundato- 
ovata; labio subreflexo, labro acuto. Ods. This somewhat rare 
British species is the type of the genus; the animal, however, 
does not appear to have been hitherto studied. 


2. pLana (pl. 256, f. 3, 4), 4. Ad.—Testa orbicularis, dorso 
plano-convexa ; spira depressé ; anfractibus planis, supra transver- 
sim striatis, infra leevibus ; aperturé subcirculari, supra angulata ; 
umbilico peramplo, anfractibus intus conspicuis. Ods. A large 
(for the genus) species, with a very flat spire and with the whorls 
concentrically finely striated. 


3. ELEGANS (pl. 256, f. 1, 2), 4. Ad.—Testa orbicularis, dis- 
coidea, tenuis, semipellucida; spira depress ; anfractibus rotun- 
datis, transversim omnino striatis ; suturis distinctis ; apertura 
subcirculari, supra angulaté; umbilico peramplo. Ods. A beau- 
tiful semipellucid species, remarkable for the extreme elegance of 
its form; the aperture is peculiarly angulated at the fore part. 


4, PLANORBULA (pl. 256, f. 5, 6), 4. Ad.—Testa orbicularis, 
planorbula ; spira depress ; anfractibus levibus, rotundatis ; su- 
turis distinctis; aperturé subcirculari, supra angulata ; umbilico 
permagno, patulo. Oés. The aperture in this cyclotiform species 
is circular and somewhat dilated, yet the sum of all the characters 
shows it to belong more properly to Adeorbis than to any other 
genus. 


5. nitipa (pl. 256, f. 9,10), A. Ad.—Testa orbicularis, levis, 
tenuis, nitida; spird elatiusculA ; anfractibus prope suturam sub- 
angulatis; suturis profundis, subcanaliculatis ; apertura subcir- 
culari, supra angulataé ; umbilico magno, peromphalo angulato, 
acuto. Obs. The principal peculiarity of this species is the an- 
gular keel round the umbilicus; the whorls and aperture are 
more rounded than usual and the surface of the shell is polished. 
It may possibly belong to the genus Cithna, A. Ad. 


6. Apamsit (pl. 256, f. 8), Hiseh.—Testa translucida, corneo- 


256 ADEORBIS. 


alba, nitida, complanata, suborbicularis, umbilicata; supra minu- 
tissimé et concentricé striata, subtus leviuscula; anfractibus 34, 
rapidé accrescentibus, ultimo compressiusculo, non carinato ; 
apertura subovata, parum transvers4 ; margine dextro tenui, fragili. 
Obs. A pellucid, shining, rather solid species, very finely concen- 
trically striated. 

7. Aneast (pl. 256, f. 37, 38), A. dd.—Testa valde depresso- 
conica, laté umbilicata, alba, tenuis, semipellucida; anfractibus 
rapide crescentibus, ultimo magno convexo concentricé striato, ra- 
diatim obsoleté plicato, ad suturas crenulato, ad peripheriam 
acuté angulato et concinne crenato, ad basin radiatim corrugato- 
plicato; apertura semiovata; labio rectiusculo, acuto; labro 
posticé ascendente. Ods. This is the largest and most beautiful 
species of Adeorbis yet discovered. It was found by Mr. G. F. 
Angas in Coodgee Bay, outside Port Jackson Heads, on the 
sand. 

8. Stnensts (pl. 256, f. 21, 22), A. Ad.—Testa discoidalis ; 
spira prominula, alba, subporcelland, opaca, striis incrementi ra- 
diantibus et lineis spiralibus transversis decussata; anfractibus 
regulariter crescentibus, ultimo ad peripheriam obtuse angulato ; 
umbilico patulo, perspectivo, margine carinato ; apertura qua- 
drato-orbiculari ; labro mediocri. O%s. This is a rather large 
opaque-white species, having very much the aspect of Hthaha, 
but there is no trace of an umbilical callus. 


9. Jaronica (pl. 256, f. 20), 4. dd.—Testa discoidalis ; 
spira depressa ; alba, nitida, tenuis, semidiaphana, radiatim striata ; 
anfractibus regulariter crescentibus, convexiusculis ; umbilico 
patulo, margine valde carinato ; labro mediocri. Ods. The most 
common species met with in the seas of Japan, not however cha- 
racterized by any remarkable peculiarities either of form or sculp- 
ture. 

10. cravsa (pl. 256, f. 25, 26), 4. Ad.—Testa discoidalis ; 
spird depress; albida, subdiaphana, striis incrementi radiatim 
ornata; anfractibus rapidé crescentibus, ultimo ad suturas vix 
angulato, ad peripheriam rotundato; umbilico callo, tenui, vix 
clauso ; labro producto. Ods. In this species the umbilicus is 
partly occupied by a callosity, asin some species of Hthalia. 


1]. orpetta (pl. 256, f. 16, 17), 4. Ad.—Testa discoidalis ; 
spira planatai; alba, subporcellana, nitida, semiopaca, radiatim 
striata, basi transversé confertim sulcata ; anfractibus regulariter 
crescentibus, ultimo ad peripheriam rotundato; umbilico patulo, 
perspectivo, margine rotundato; labro subproducto. Oés. In 


ADEORBIS, 257 


this species the umbilicus is open and the peromphalus obtusely 
keeled; the whorls are radiately striated. 


12. prominuta (pl. 256, f. 23, 24). 4. dd.—Testa discoidalis ; 
spira elatiusculA; alba, subdiaphana, nitida, striis incrementi 
ornata ; anfractibus rapid’ crescentibus, ultimo ad peripheriam 
rotundato ; umbilico mediocri, margine carinato ; labro producto. 
Obs. In this species the spire is conical and more raised than is 
usual in this genus, and the margin of the umbilicus is keeled. 


13. pEpREssA (pl. 256, f. 14, 15), 4. 4d.—Testa discoidalis ; 
spira planata; alba, vix opaca, ‘radiatim striata; anfractibus ra- 
pide crescentibus, ultimo ad peripheriam rotundato ; basi rugulis 
radiantibus ornata; umbilico patulo, margine valde rugoso-cre- 
nato; labro mediocri. Ods. This is a very depressed species, 
very similar in form to A. plana, but the aperture is more circu- 
lar and not so oblique as in that species, and the size also is 
much less, 


14. parrueuis (pl. 256, f. 35, 86), 4. dd.—Testa ut in 4. 
Japonica discoidalis, sed spira elatiuscula ; alba, nitida, semipel- 
lucida, radiatim striata; anfractibus regulariter crescentibus, 
convexiusculis, ultimo ad suturam vix angulato, ad peripheriam 
rotundato ; umbilico angusto, margine carinato ; labro mediocri, 
Obs. This ' species has resemblances to several others, but cannot 
properly be affiliated to any ; the last whorl is slightly angulated 
at the suture, and the margin of the umbilicus is carinate. 


15. cornicutum (pl. 256, f. 29, 30), 4. dd.—Testa ovato-dis- 
coidalis, tenuis, nitida, subdiaphana, radiatim minutissimé striata ; 
anfractibus rapidé crescentibus ; umbilico angusto, margine valde 
carinato; labro producto. Oés. An orbicular turbinate thin 
species, with shining whorls and a narrow umbilicus. 


16. suturatis (pl. 256, f. 27, 28), 4. 4d.—Testa ovato-dis- 
coidali; spird prominulé; albida, tenuis, semipellucida, striis 
incrementi radiatim ornata; anfractibus rapidé crescentibus, prope 
suturas subcarinatis, ultimo ad peripheriam subangulato; suturis 
canaliculatis ; umbilico angusto, margine rotundato; labro me- 
diocri. Os. A somewhat globose species, with the sutures deeply 
impressed. 


17. nanuua (pl. 256, f. 31, 32), 4. Ad.—Testa ovata, sub- 
convexa, tenuis, semidiaphana, nitida; anfractibus rapide cres- 
centibus, convexiusculis, ultimo subventricoso ad peripheriam an- 
gulato; umbilico angusto, margine rotundato; labro mediocri. 

VOL. III. 2) K 


258 THINOSTOMA. 


Obs. A smali thin depressed species, very shining and with con- 
vex whorls; the margin of the umbilicus is not carinate. 


18. carmara (pl. 256, f. 18, 19), 4. dd.—Testa ovato-orbi- 
cularis, obliqua, depresso-conoidalis, subdiaphana, alba, laté um- 
bilicata; anfractibus convexiusculis, transverse tenuiter striatis, 
rapidé accrescentibus, ultimo anticé dilatato, ad peripheriam acuté 
carinato ; apertura subtrigonali, anticé angulatd et producta; um- 
bilico margine acuto. Ods. The keel at the periphery is marked 
and prominent, formimg an acute ledge round the last whorl. 
The only other species at all resembling it is 4. subcarinata, 
found in the British seas. 


19. rrocHuxa (pl. 256, f. 12, 13), 4. Ad.—Testa orbicularis, 
depresso-conoidea, profundé umbilicata, supra convexa, infra 
plana, alba, semipellucida; anfractibus 54, planiusculis, lenté ac- 
crescentibus, suturis marginatis; anfractu ultimo anticé vix dila- 
tato, ad peripheriam obtuse angulato; apertura subangulaté, 
anticé vix producta; umbilico margine acuto. Oss. This species 
resembles a small depressed Zrochus, with a flat base, a some- 
what angular periphery, and a deep, rather narrow umbilicus. 


20. supaneuxata (pl. 256, f. 33, 34), 4. dd.—Testa ovato- 
orbicularis, subdepressa; vertice elatiusculo ; alba, radiatim tenuiter 
striata, profunde umbilicata; anfractibus 34, convexiusculis, ul- 
timo anticé dilatato, superné obtusé angulato, infra subplano ; 
apertura subquadrata, anticé producti; labro supra subangulato ; 
umbilico margine acuto. Os. The angular projection of the 
whorls is not at the periphery but above it, which causes the 
subquadrate form of the aperture; whereas in the British 4. swd- 
carinata and the Japanese A. carinata the periphery is carinate, 
more or less, and the aperture triangular. 


21. prapHana (pl. 256, f. 39, 40), A. dd.—Testa depresso- 
orbicularis, alba, tenuis, pellucida, laté et profundé umbilicata ; 
spira prominuld; anfractibus 34, subplanulatis, lineis incrementi 
ornatis ; anfractu ultimo antice vix dilatato, ad peripheriam rotun- 
dato; apertura circulari; umbilico patulo, perspectivo, margine 
carinato. Ods. This little pellucid shell is more globose than 
the species of Adeordis generally, and the aperture is nearly cir- 
cular, with a continuous peritreme. 


Genus TEINOSTOMA, A. Ad. 


Shell with the spire depressed, polished or spirally sculptured ; 
whorls rapidly increasing, umbilical region callous. Aperture 


TEINOSTOMA. 259 


produced, elongate, remote from the axis; peritreme rounded to- 
wards the axis, sometimes angulate at the periphery. Obs. 
Perhaps the natural position of this genus is in the family Um- 
bonide, the species more nearly resembling those of Lt/alia than 
any other group. In form and texture, however, they have very 
great resemblances to the shells we have just passed in review. 
An examination of the animal must determine the question. 


1. votrrum (pl. 256, f. 43, 44), 4. Ad.—Testa orbiculato- 
ovata, superné convexa, lactea, opaca, levis, nitida; anfractibus 
rapidé crescentibus ; apertura elongata, anticé valde producti et 
acuminatéi ; umbilici regione callo magno levi obtecti; labro 
supra anfractum penultimum reflexo. Oés. This is the species 
which served for the type of the genus as originally constituted. 
It is a rare shell from the Philippines, and is in the Cumingian 
collection. 


2. Carpenrert (pl. 256, f. 41, 42), 4. dd.—Testa orbiculato- 
ovata, superné convexa, lactea, opaca, levis, nitida; umbilico callo 
obtecto; anfractibus rapidé crescentibus; aperturd producta, 
anticé acuminata; labro supra anfractum penultimum reflexo. 
Ods. The only shell at all resembling this is 7. amplectans, Cpr., 
which however has a rounded aperture, whereas in this species it 
is anteriorly produced. The spire is entirely concealed by the 
last whorl, leaving only a minute pit at the apex, and the um- 
bilical callus has a slight rimal fissure. 


3. CONCENTRICUM (pl. 256, f. 45, 46), 4. dd.—Testa orbicu- 
lato-ovata, superné convexa, alba, solida, semiopaca, sulcis con- 
centricis confertis concinné insculpta, lineisque incrementi radi- 
antibus subtilissimé decussata; anfractibus rapidé crescentibus, 
ultimo dilatato, ascendente, alios involvente, vix usque ad apicem ; 
peripherid rotundatd, basi convex4; umbilico callo convexo, levi, 
omnino obtecto; apertura subcirculari, anticé vix producta. Obs. 
A solid convex species, with the surface finely concentrically 
grooved, a peculiarity which distinguishes it from any of the 
species already known. 

4, raptatum (pl. 256, f. 47, 48), A. dd.—tTesta orbiculata, 
depressa, superné convexiuscula, basi subplana, semiopaca, alba, 
lineis incrementi radiantibus conspicué ornata; umbilico callo 
excavato angulato obtecto ; anfractibus subito crescentibus, ulti:o 
alios involvente usque ad apicem; apertura depress’, anticé pro- 
ducti. Obs. This species is distinguished by its depressed form, 
and the conspicuous radiating lines which proceed from the axis 
towards the periphery. The callus covering the umbilicus pre- 
sents a sharp angular excavated edge near the inner lip. 


260 CALCEOLA. 


5. Lucipum (pl. 256, f. 49, 50), 4. dd.—Testa obliqué ovata, 
depressa, superné convexa, inferné planiuscula, alba, levis, pel- 
lucida, striolis incrementi obsoleté radiata; umbilico callo plano 
subcirculari opaco obtecto ; anfractibus rapide crescentibus, ulti- 
mo ascendente, alios involvente usque ad apicem; aperturd sub- 
horizontali, depress, antice producté. Ods. This species differs 
from the others already described in beg smooth and pellucid; 
the last whort is also considerably more dilated anteriorly. 

6. ampLecrans (pl. 256, f. 51, 52), Cor.—Testa parva, alba, 
planata, laevis, peritremate rotundata ; callositate spirali, umbilicam 
tegente, labium versus subplanati, supra parietem intus suturam 
decurreute ; apertura rotundati; labro supra anfractum penulti- 
mum reflecto; sutura haud impressi. Ods. In this species the 
aperture is produced and angular, the callus covering the umbi- 
lical region is very large and thick, and the shell is very flat 
above. 


7. susstriatum (pl. 256, f. 53, 54), Cor—Testa minima, 
planata, opaca, alba, subnitente ; striolis spiralibus, prope suturam 
impressam monstrantibus ; callositate angustissima, longiore, circa 
rimam umbilicalem gyrante, prope labium vix planato; apertura 
rotundatd; labio solido, anfractus penultimos haud amplectante. 
Obs. There are a few spiral strie near the suture in this species, 
the callosity is very long and narrow, and the aperture is nearly 
circular. 


Subgenus Catcrortna, A. Ad. 


Shell neritiniform, oblong, depressed; spire small; whorls 
rapidly increasing, umbilical region callous; aperture semicir- 
cular; inner lip with a large wide callus, covering posteriorly the 
umbilicus ; margin of the callus straight, simple. 


1. positta (pl. 256, f. 55, 56), C. B. d4d.—Testa albida, sub- 
opaca, superficie rugulis incrementi confertissimis striata; sutura 
valde impress; anfractu ultimo depresso, magno, ad peripheriam 
compresso. Ods. The specimens of this peculiar form, brought 
by me from Japan, do not seem to differ in any respect from the 
Neritina pusilla of C. B. Adams. The neritiniform aspect and 
straight inner lip cause it at once to be separated from the other 
species of Ze¢nostoma.

MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


ARGONAUTA, Linneus. 


Molluscum Cephalopodum. 

Testa involuté discoidea, unilocularis, papyracea, minuté granu- 
lata, alba seu pallida, disci margine nigrescente ; anfractibus bica- 
rinatis, tuberculatis ; lateribus radiatim liratis ; spird immersa. 

The “ paper sailor” is a testaceous receptacle formed by the 
female Cephalopod for the deposition and care of her eggs. It is 
secreted by the hinder pair of arms, which in the female are ex- 
panded into broad membranes, and have been regarded as the 
sails of a ship-like vessel; but they principally serve to envelope 
the shell after its formation. 


Description of the Species (the Shells). 
Plates 257, 258. 


1. Arco (f. 1, 2), Lamsk.—Testa subcompressa, transversé 
oblonga, lateribus planiusculis; rugis tenuibus, numerosis ; carin’ 
angusti, concava, tuberculis numerosis acutis; apertura subtri- 
gona, angustd ; marginibus prope axem profundeé arcuatis, incras- 
satis, in angulis plus minusve auriculatis. Os. This is the most 
compressed species, the sides gradually converging to a narrow 
keel, with very sharp tubercles. From the large square-mouthed 
shell with the angles of the mouth produced into auricles, to the 
transversely elongated and more finely ribbed varieties, with 
scarcely any angle, the gradations are too minute to admit of 
specific distinction. 

2. Grunert (f. 9), Dunker.—Testa preecedenti similis, sed 
parva, trausversé valde elongata; carind convexé, latiusculd, mi- 
nuté verrucosi. Obs. Much more elongated than 4. argo ; wider 
at that part of the aperture which is farthest from the spire. 
The keel tubercles become more and more obtuse, till at the 
outer edge they almost disappear. 


264 ARGONAUTA. 


3. TuBERCULOSA (f. 3), Zamk.—Testa convexa, rotunda ; rugis 
: rede Lee iy : 2 : aie 
in tuberculis divisis ; carind lata, tuberculis magnis subdistantibus; 
apertura lata, auriculis productis, lateribus convexis. Os. Much 
more convex and rounded, with the radiating ribs broken up into 
small tubercles. 


4. gonpota (f. 4), Dildéwyn.—Testa semiorbicularis, valde 
convexa, pallidé fusca; rugis validis, distantibus, alternatim bre- 
vioribus; carind latissima, distanter tuberculati; apertura laté 
hiante, auriculis exterius productis. 04s. This is the widest shell 
of the genus, the aperture widely gaping, and the keel very 
broad, and the auricles produced and twisted outwardly. 


5. urans (f. 5, 6), Déildwyn.—Testa convexa, subelongata, 
fulva; rugis leviter elevatis, alternatim brevioribus; carina lata 
obtusé et distanter tuberculata ; apertura lata, lateribus convexis, 
auriculis rotundatis minimé productis. Ods. As compared with 
the preceding, the ribs are not so pronounced, the tubercles not 
so large and more obtuse, the mouth is narrower, and the 
auricles not produced nor twisted outwards in this species. 


6. Owent (f. 7, 8), Ad. and Reeve.—Testa semiorbicularis, 
subcompressa, fulva; rugis validis, alternatim brevioribus ; ca- 
rina lata, validé tuberculata ; aperturd oblong’, prope spiram an- 
gustatd, lateribus compressis, auriculis vix productis. Os. The 
ribs are more distinctly pronounced, and the sides of the shell, 
particularly near the axis, much more compressed than in A. /zans. 


MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


POMATIAS, Studer. 


Pratt CCLIX. 


Gen. Char. Molluscum terrestre, gasteropodum. 

Testa turrita, pyramidalis, concentricé liris elevatis striata ; an- 
fractibus numerosis, duobus apicalibus papillaribus levibus ; aper- 
turd rotundato-subtrigona ; margine intus continuo, extus reflexo, 
ad columellam angulato. 

Operculo corneo, paucispirali, bilaminato. 

Obs. These shells are turreted, pyramidal, striated, with the two 
apicial whorls papillary and smooth. The aperture is slightly 
trigonal, the inner edge continuous, the outer edge flattened out- 
wards and angulated at the base of the columella. Operculum 
horny, with few whorls, composed of two layers concamerated 
within. The differences between the species consist chiefly in the 
character of the striation. 


SPECIES, 


1. aurirus (f. 1, 2), Zeigd.—T. tenuis, subventricosa, pallidé 
fulva; striis crebris, numerosis, alteris rarioribus crescentibus; labro 
expanso, posticé acuminato, ad columellam in auriculam dilatato. 
Obs. The largest of the genus; having the body covered with nearly 
equal strie, with a few sharp and prominent at intervals. The 
peritreme is expanded into a decided auricle at the base of the 
columella, and pointed at its junction with the upper whorl. 

2. ressELiatus (f. 15, 16).—T. P. aurito similis sed brevior ; 
striis crassiusculis, eequalibus, ad suturam paululum exstantibus ; 
pallida, maculis distantibus ad suturam quadratis, ad medium an- 
fractum longitudinalibus bifasciata; apertura auritd, posticé vix 
acuminata. Oés. The outer lip is more rounded at the top and 
the striz more regular and equal than in P. awritus. A row of

distant spots near the suture, and another of longitudinal spots on 
the middle of the body-whorl. 

3. strioLatus (f. 5, 6), Porro.—T. ventricosa, pallida, fasctis 
fuscis interruptis tribus ; stris crebris, numerosis, alteris rarioribus 
magis elevatis ; labro angusto, tenui. Ods. More like P. tessed- 
Jatus than any other, but the lip is thin and very little expanded ; 
in striation it resembles P. awritus. 

4. Puinrppranus (f. 21, 22), Gredler.—tT. P. tessellato similis 
sed gracilior ; labro duplicato. Ods. In the striation and general 
appearance this resembles the last, but is a much narrower shell, 
with the inner edge of the aperture forming a ring raised above 
the flattened outer portion. The middle row of spots not so 
linear. 

5. ScALArinus (f. 17, 18), /dda.—T. P. Phitippiano similis, sed 
labro simplici angusto; macularum seriebus duabus, et fascia 
basali. Ods. The lip is duplicated and very little expanded. 
There is a band of brown colour near the base of the last whorl, 
besides the two rows of spots above. 

6. patutus (f. 11, 12), Drap.—tT. elongata, polita, fusco- 
plumbea ; striis tenuissimis, crebris, versus anfractum ultimum sub- 
evanidis; apertura subrotunda, patuld, labro duplicato. Oés. 
Towards the lower whorls the very fine striz become faint and 
almost disappear; the body of the whorl appearing polished and 
shining. 

7. Tersatines (f. 13, 14), Zeigd.—T. quam P. patulus bre- 
vior, fasciatim maculata. Ods. Shorter than P. patulus, and 
having three bands of spots. 

8. osscurus (f. 3, 4), Drap.—T. subcylindrica, fusco-plum- 
bea, fusco-rubescente triseriatim maculata ; striis tenuibus, crebris ; 
labro paululum expanso, vix angulato. Ods. A rather pupeform 
species, with two rows of spots and a band near the base of the 
last whorl. 

9. macutatus (f.7, 8), Drap.—T. quam P. obscwrus magis 
angusta, labro haud tantum expanso, Ods, This species—or it 
may be only variety—is narrower, with less expanded lip than 
P. obscurus. P. apprimus is a variety of this. 

10. cryerascens (f. 9, 10).—T. P. odseuro similis, sed imma- 
culata; striis crassioribus. Ods. The strive in the upper whorls 
are thicker, and the shell is more pyramidal. It is uniform in 
colour. 

11. Himarays (f. 19, 20), Benson.—T. pallida; anfractibus 


POMATIAS. 267 


rotundis ; sutura profunda; striis crebris crassis, super anfractum 
ultimum alternatim brevioribus ; apertura subrotunda ; labro re- 
trorsum reflexo, duplicato, angusto. Ods. This little whitish 
shell has the whorls separated by a deep suture, a roundish mouth 
with the peritreme reflected backwards, and the strie, which are 
thick and regular on the earlier whorls, are on the last alternately 
shortened.

Puates 260, 261, 262. 


7. votvacea, Lamk.-—— Should be ruavicans, Gmel., by 
priority. (Reeve.) 

9. unpuLaTA, Lamk., f. 28 only,—f. 99 is V. ANGasu, sp. 73. 

11. patirpa, Gray.—Should be Vorva, Chem., by priority. 
(Reeve.) 

12. reticuLata, Reeve, is our f. 94 (pallida, var.). It is 
the true /. reticulata, as stated by Mr. Reeve in his monograph. 
Our figure 47, 48, to which the name was inadvertently attached, 
is certainly a different shell. See 12*. 

12*, Regvu, Sowd., as reticulata, f. 48, 49, is a broad shell 
with very short spine and conical shape. It is somewhat dif- 
ferently marked from Sp. 12, and quite distinct. 

34, MamILLa, Gray.—The first figures in Mr. Reeve’s mono- 
graph and my father’s were taken from the shell in a very young 
state. Very large specimens have since been procured. 

35. PaPILtosa, Swains.—M. Kiener mixes this with /. /usi- 
formis, aud names the two species together 7. Sowerbyi. Mr. 
Reeve changes the name to “papillaris,”’ as conveying a more 
correct meaning. I think it best to retain the original name, as 
being in general use. 

42. Inpica, Sows.—My father objected to Linneus’s name 
Lapponica, as implying a false locality. Mr. Reeve remarks that 
the name is only a corruption of “ Lapphorn,” or Dog’s-ear shell, 
used for this species by the Dutch. Mr. R. agrees with my 
father as to the propriety of abandoning the old name, but in- 
stead of accepting his proposed substitute, gives a third name, 

VOL, III. 2 M 


270 VOLUTA. 


“interpunctata.’ If the original name is dropped, the first sub- 
stitute must be adopted ; but I think retaining even an ill-con- 
structed name preferable to multiplying synonyms, and should 
therefore say of the name Lapponica, in general use, s¢et. 


46. potyzonatts, Lamk.—Should be virescens, Gmed., by 
priority. 

59. apyssicota (f. 124), Ad. and Rve.— Testa pyriformis, 
tenuis ; spird brevi, subturrita, apice acuta; anfractibus superné 
depresso-canaliculatis, liris numerosis acutis longitudinalibus et 
transversis undique creberrimé subprofundeé cancellatis ; liris su- 
perné mucronatis ; columellé quadriplicata ; apertura subangusta, 
labro tenui, fulvescente-cinerea, fasciis rufo-fuscis angustis tribus 
vel quatuor cingulata.” Ols. The cancellated surface of this 
Voluta connects it with those Hocene fossils, such as V. dima, 
elevata, crenulata, etc., which Swainson has generalized under the 
name Volutilithes. One specimen dredged from a bank of dead 
shells and rounded ironstones in 132 fathoms, Cape of Good 
Hope. 


60. currata (f. 122), Rue. Conch. Icon. pl. xxii. f. 56.—Ob- 
longa, subpyriformis, solida, pallida, maculata, basi paululum re- 
curva ; spira acuminata, elongaté; anfractibus plicatis, plicis sub- 
evanidis ; apertura breviuscula; labro incrassato, intus obsoleté 
denticulato ; columell& obscuré plicaté. Obs. This little shell 
approaches the J/éra in form. 


61. conumpEtta (f. 123), Sows.—Parva, oblonga, levigata, 
pallida, maculis rufis picta; spiré acuminata; apertura elongata; 
labro medio incurvo; columella obscurissime plicaté. Ods. 
Having the form of Columbella nitida, and showing rather faint 
plicee on the columella. 


62. pEttctosa (f. 131), Montrouzier.—Resembles an inflated 
specimen of /”, nucleus, with similar markings, but no ribs except 
on the whorls near the apex. 


63. casstputa (f. 130), Reeve.—Resembling /. nucleus, but 
with the ribs more distant and slightly angulated on the upper 
part of the whorls. 


64. Dusuayustt (f. 134), Reeve.—A now well-known species, 
resembling /. aulica, but straight-sided, with the teeth less ob- 
lique and more thickened and flattened. 


65. Sopuia (f. 132), Gray.—The “ four rows of distant chest- 
nut-red spots” constitute the chief difference between this and 
V. Norrisit. 


VOLUTA. 271 


66. Manrta-Emva (f. 133), Gray.—Described from a single 
shell sent to Dr. Gray by Mr. Cuming for description, and now 
deposited in the British Museum. It resembles V. swinodosa in 
general form and colouring, but has a thick papillary spire, like 
that of VY. seapha. 


67. Rossryrana (f. 135), Bernardi.i—This magnificent species 
resembles /’. imperiatis, but it has not the coronal spines pro- 
duced, its sides are not so straight, the outer lip is expanded. 


68. Exopranpa (f. 136), Sowd.—A fine shell of a rather coni- 
cal form, with an angle near the top of the outer whorl. It is 
finely reticulated, with two bands. ‘The spire is mamillated. 
The aperture is rather narrow, and of a rich orange colour. Port 
Lincoln, S. Australia. 


69. rmynexa (f. 137), Reeve—Differs from V. rutila in being 
more angular, having tubercles on the angle; the colouring is 
similar in pattern, but paler. 


73. Loroist (f. 1388), Valenciennes, Journ. de Conch.—De- 
scribed from a worn specimen in the French Museum. It is 
of a rounded oval form, of a pinkish colour with brown zebra-like 
stripes. The plice on the columella are almost obsolete. 


71. praurexta (f. 125), Reeve (Amoria Turneri Cumingii, 
Gray).—Resembling /. reticulata, Reeve; of more solid texture, 
much finer reticulations, with two rows of distant dark-brown 
markings on the body-whorl. The teeth are fewer and less ob- 
lique. 

72. Turnert (f. 129), Gray.—Resembling /. pallida, Gray, 
but the longitudinal lines, which appear in some specimens of the 
latter near the apex, ornament the whole body-whorl in the former ; 
besides which are two rows of distant cloudy large spots on the 
last whorl. I believe it to be distinct, at least sufficiently so for 
conventional purposes. 


73. Aneastt (f. 29), Sow.—I propose to distinguish by this 
name the shell which has been usually regarded as the Tasmanian 
variety of /. undulata. The figure 29 hardly represents the dif- 
ference sufficiently, being from a less developed specimen. But 
the angular form and close angular markings of one, as compared 
with the graceful elongation and less suddenly curved lines of the 
other, are constant in all stages of development, nor haye I seen 
any intermediate degrees which would cause embarrassment. The 
diiferences have been pointed out in a note from Mr. G. F. Angas, 
who has collected both species. The note concludes with the 


272 MELO. 


following observations :—“ Mr. Reeve has figured the Port Lin- 
coln one (as if from Tasmania) as 7. undulata, Lam., which 
shell agrees best with the description. If you consider them suf- 
ficiently distinct, pray nae and describe the Tasmanian and Bass’s 
Straits one as new. I have very rarely met with the Tasmanian 
shell as far up the east coast of Australia as Port Stephens. The 
Port Lincoln variety appears strictly confined to the S. Australian 
shores westward of Cape Northumberland, and ranges to the 
islands of the great Australian Bight, its metropolis being Port 
Lincoln.” 

74. Exxiorr (f. 126, 127), Sowd.—Fusiformis, subangulata, 
solida; spira pallidé fulva, lineis fascis seu rubris fluctuatis longi- 
tudinaliter pict4, breviusculd, apice subirregulari papillari; an- 
fractibus paululum inflatis, suturis albis tumidis ; apertura pos- 
ticé subangulata, anticé contracté; labro paululum incrassato, vix 
dilatato ; columellé anticé incrassati; plicis quatuor, obliquis. 
Ods. Intermediate in character between Dr. Gray’s V. Turneri 
and the elongate form of V. undulata. It is decidedly more 
angular than the former, from which it is more particularly dis- 
tinguished by the form of the spire. In Zurneri and pallida, as 
well as in Reeve’s reticulata and pretexta, the spire is regular and 
conical, whereas in V. Hllioti the second or third whorl is always 
a little swelled and generally obliquely placed. This places it 
with 7. undulata in Dr. Gray’s division of the group, as having 
the “apex large, subpapillary.” In fact, its apex is much more 
like that of V7. undulata than that of any other of the series. 
The lip is less thickened than in /. wndulata, more so than in 7, 
Turneri, pallida, ete. See my pamphlet and plate accompanying 
this.—Votura Evuiori, xame, figures, and description distributed

9. mucronatus (f. 34) should be Gzorcinm, Gray. I give a 
more mature specimen to complete the representation with f. 23, 
28. 

10. umprnicatus (f. 33). Mr. Reeve considers this to be /. 
ducalis of Lamarck, but the description in the Ann. S. Vert. 
does not identify it. The chief characteristic of VY. ducalis is the 
shortness of the spines and the invariable protuberance of the spire 
beyond them; while in I. wméilicatus the spines are, except in a 
young state, long, and the shoulder on which they rest is high 
above the apex, leaving it in a hole or wmbilicws. The reticulated 
markings are a matter of minor importance. The mature specimen, 
f. 32, completes the representation with f. 18, 29, 30. 

11. reetus (f. 31), Schreb. et Wagn.—Mr. Reeve has com- 
pared this with Cymbiwn Aithiopicum, showing the differences. 
There are specimens of MZ. diadema figured in the ‘ Iconica’ 
which more nearly resemble it. It is, however, a more rounded 
shell, with a less oblique columella.

SECOND* MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 
HELICINA, 


INCLUDING THE GENERA TROCHATELLA, LUCIDELLA, HELICINA, 
SCHIASCHEILA AND ALCADIA, OF AUTHORS. 


Char. Gen. Molluscum terrestre. Testa spiralis, helicoidea, 
labio interno ab anfractu ultimo haud distincto, plerumque circa 
columellam calloso. Operculum testaceo-corneum, subquadratum, 
non spirale.—Land-mollusk. Shell spiral, helicoid, inner lip not 
distinct from last whorl, generally callous round the columella. 
Operculum horny-testaceous, rather square, non-spiral. 

My objection to the smaller genera adopted by some authors 
chiefly arises from the impossibility of defining them. Taking 
the genus Helicina as above described, its limits are perfectly 
discernible; no one having a complete specimen in hand, can 
doubt whether it be a Helicina or not. The definition includes 
all that belongs to it, and excludes all that is foreign to it. This 
cannot be said of any description that has been or that can be 
given to Trochatella, Alcadia, ete. The notch between the colu- 
mella and base of the outer lip, upon which the latter genus is 
founded, is a thing of infinitesimal degrees, from a little depres- 
sion in front of a thick tooth to a spirally incised slit, and thence 
to a scarcely perceptible sinus in the thin peritreme of some 
smaller species. (See Plates I. and II.) The chief character of 
Trochatella is the absence of callus at the base of the lower 
whorl, but if that were made the basis of division it would in- 


* The number of species contained in the former monograph is so small com- 
pared with those which are now known, that it has been thought better to 
make the present monograph complete, even at the inconvenience of repeating 
the figures of the former seventy species. The advantage of this will be to 
preserve to the eye the entire series in the order of their affinities. Subseri- 
bers will not lose by this, as we have compensated by giving them a consider- 
able number of extra figures in the present double part.

clude many incongruous shells, and exclude others which notwith- 
standing are enumerated in the lists hitherto published. 

I have endeavoured to group together, without defining, those 
species most nearly resembling each other, and if the groups so 
formed do not correspond with the generic divisions referred to 
above, it is because particular characters are not always found in, 
or confined to, shells of the same general aspect. Generic 
names require generic definitions, and the genera into which the 
Helicine have been divided cannot be defined. Yet a system of 
general grouping without such definitions may be usefully em- 
ployed. 

This being a second monograph, I have not here given full 
descriptions of the species, but have been content with mention- 
ing in a word or two about each some peculiarity of the shell as 
compared with others of the same group,—trusting in this way, 
by the help of the figures, to give a better idea of the species 
than would be done by more elaborate descriptions in which 
many characters would have to be repeated.

from other Helicine in the form of the operculum, which is 
beaked at each extremity, in the existence of a sinus in the peri- 
treme at each end to receive the beaks, and in the columella being 
partly separated from the body whorl. These characters are in- 
teresting, although scarcely definable and exclusive enough to be 
considered of generic importance.

Sect. V. Trochiformis, solida, spiraliter lirata—Genus 'TRocHA- 
TELLA, Szains., inclusa. 


I have searched in vain for any definition of this section suffi- 
ciently exclusive and inclusive to constitute it a logical or con- 
venient genus. Pfeiffer and A. and H. Adams appear to rely 
upon the absence of the basal callus or circular extension and 
thickness of the inner lip, although those authors enumerate 
among T'rochatel/z some species showing that character slightly, 
and exclude great numbers of Helicine which have no more 
callus than their most typical Zrochatellz. We wust be content, 
therefore, with uniting in a scarcely defined section the following 
pyramidal, spirally grooved species :— 


60. stnuosa, Pfr., (f. 96.)—Labro sinuoso, labio interno cal- 
lum posticum emittente.—Outer lip sinuous, inner lip with a

MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


CARINARIA, Lamarck. 


Testa vitrea, pileiformis, concentricé rugata, dorso carinato, 
apice subplanulatim spirali. 

Shell glassy, cap-shaped, concentrically wrinkled, with a dorsal 
keel and a nearly flat spiral apex. 

The Carinaria is an oblong mollusk, provided with a broad fin, 
by means of which it moves very rapidly through the ocean. ‘The 
beautiful glassy shell which it secretes forms a protection to the 
breathing apparatus. 


SPECIES. 


1. C. virrma, (f. 4).—T. elevati, subtrigond, lateribus recti- 
usculis, apice parvo, uncinato.—Distinguished by its elevated, 
conical form, nearly straight sides, and small apex. 

2. C. cristata (f. 2, 3), ZLinu.—T. depressd, oblonga, dorso 
arcuato, latere postico declivi, apice lato, deflexo.—Of an oblong, 
depressed form, with the back arched, the posterior side sloping, 
and the apex broad and curved downwards. 

3. C. Aruantiea (f. 1), Ad. § Rve.—T. subelevata, curta, 
dorso validé arcuato, carina lati, apicé arcnatim depresso, corneo. 
—This pretty little species is shorter, with the back more curved 
and elevated than C. cristata. It has a horny nucleus.

MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


DONAX, Linneus. 


Chur. Gen. Testa eequivalvis, inequilateralis, subtrigona, bi- 
musculosa, posticé plus minusve truncata ; pallii impressione laté 
amentata ; ligamento externo; dentibus cardinalibus in valva dex- 
tra duobus, in valva sinistra uno; dentibus lateralibus duobus, 
approximatis vel uno remoto. 

A large sinus in the impression of the mantle, and the absence 
of a cartilaginous pit, will be sufficient to distinguish the shells of 
this genus from the few others with which they might otherwise 
possibly be confounded. 


SPECIES. 


1. scortum (f. 1, 2,3), ZLinnw.—Testd tumida, subsequilaterali,

arcuatim angulata, ad angulum spiniferd, area postangulari con- 
cava, acuminata, decussata.—Specimens differ in the degree of 
development of the spines and fringes ; and we have in our hands 

.a specimen from Mr. Taylor’s collection which is white, and has 
the posterior angle produced remarkably. 


2. cartnatus (f. 4, 5), Han/.—Testd tumida, lata, polita, cas- 
taneo-violaced, radiatim impresso-striata, striis antice evanidis, 
umbonibus elevatis, angulo postico subcarinato, area postangulari 
arcuatim declivi, concava, striata, infra producta, acuminata, latere 
antico declivi, ad terminum acuminato.—Nearest in form to D. 
scortum, but a polished shell. 


3. acuticarinatus (f. 6, 7), Sows.—Testa D. carinate simili, 
haud tantum elevata, carina validiore, arew postice stris radian- 
tibus granulatis.—Besides the greater distinctness of the keel, 
the sculpture of the posterior area distinguishes this species from 
D. carinata, the radiating strie being close, and crossed by con- 


306 DONAX. 


centric waved threads. ‘l'wo specimens of this beautiful species 
are in Mr. Taylor’s collection. 


4. scaLpriytum (f. 9), Gray.—Testi lanceolata, compressa,

The area is more raised towards the hgament and is radiately 
double-angled. 

8. spinosus (f. 19), Chemn.—D. testa elongata, cunciformé 
leevigata, leviter prope marginem et postice radiatim striata, fulvo- 
purpurascente, intus et ad umbonem livida, latere antico producto 
subacuminato, latere postico truncato, angulato, angulo acuto, 
subspinifero, area postangulari tenuissimé decussaté.—This little 
cuneiform shell is remarkable for the serrated or spiniferous keel 
which borders its postangular area. 


9. craruratus (f. 13), Desh.—D. testa breviuscula, cuneiformi, 
violacea, minute cancellata, latere antico subacuminato, latere 
postico truncato biangulato ad angulum magnum subspinifero.—

umbonibus elevatis, ared postica subplanulata, granoso-striata. 
A short elevated shell, smooth in front and ornamented at the 
back with ridges decussated by radiating strie. D. sordida, Rve., 
appears to be a variety of this, partly denuded of the sulci and 
serrations. 


11. Mapacascanimnsis (f. 16), Wood.—Testa brevi, acute 
triangulata, carnea, nonnunquam partim lividé, omnino diagona- 


DONAX. 307 


liter costatd, costis ad angulum subundatis, interstitis striatis, 
ared postangulari complanati, margine ventrali intus denticulato. 
—A remarkable three-cornered species, sculptured with diagonal 
ribs. 

12. Granirervs (f. 18), Desh.—Testa D. semisuleate simili sed 
tumidiore, ante angulum et ad aream postangularem minuté de- 
cussatim granosa, carina magis obtus’i.—More inflated and more 
obtuse than D. semisulcata, very finely granosely decussated, the 
ridges being continued past the angle on the posterior area. 


13. acuminatus (f. 14), Desh.—Testa D. semisuleate forma 
simili, sed postice minimé granoso-striataé, angulo vix serrato.— 
The want of posterior sculpture alone distinguishes this from D. 
semigranosa. 


14. mera (f. 17), Reeve.—Testi D. semigranose simili, sed 
magis obtusi, ad angulum semi-rotunda, vix serratié.—More 
obtuse at the apex and posterior angle than D. semisudcata, the 
angle not serrated nor keeled. 


15. ryrro-rapiatus (f. 25), Reeve.—Testa brevi, elevata, 
cuneiformi, acuté angulatd, carinaté, pallida, extus obscuré, intus 
valide, prope umbones purpureo trifasciaté, radiatim striata, post- 
angulum densé rugoso-decussat’i.—This shell would resemble a 
small D. Cayennensis, but it is sharply keeled posteriorly and 
pointed in front. The purple rays are bright within, but dull 
without. 


16. asper (f. 24), Han/.—Testa solida, albi vel purpurascenti, 
subeequaliter trigond, anticé radiatim striata, posticé prope an- 
gulum granoso-sulecaté, post angulum striaté, margine postico 
ventrali denticulato, are postangulari infra convexa, supra con- 
cava, umbonibus elevatis, latere antico valde declivo.—An elevated, 
solid species, nearly equally trigonal, grained near the angle. 


17. prntirerus (f. 23), Hand.—Testa elevatim trigona, rosea 
seu purpurascenti, radiatim striata, prope marginem anticum 
leevigati, striis posticis magnis ad marginem dentatis, posticé 
biangulata, angulo primo elevato, angulo secundo duplicato mar- 
gine dentato, area posticd declivi, granosa, angulatim convexi.— 
A very broad shell, with sharp, elevated angle ending in denticu- 
lations, and a second posterior angle duplicate or ending in the 
same way. It occurs pure white, rose, and violet. 


18. asstmimis (f. 21), Han/.—Testd crassa, oblonga, ventri- 
cos’, levigaté, obscuré purpured et pallidé subviridi, obscure

radiati, posticé biangulaté, anticé producté, obtusa, margine 
ventrali convexi.—Of an oblong form and solid substance, with 
an obtuse second angle and produced margin. 


19. Cayrnnensts (f. 46, 47,48), Lamk.—Testa subventricosa, 
tenuiuscula, radiatim striata, posticé prope angulum undulatim 
decussata, colore luteo-purpurascente, seu rosed, seu purpurea, 
prope umbones albo-radiata ; latere antico oblongo ad terminum

lata, granoso-striata, margine medio dentato, margine ventrali 
parum convexo, postice validé dentato, valva dextrA sinistram 
superante.—Of an oblong form, granulated and decussated near 
the obtuse posterior angle and on the area behind it. The ven- 
tral margin of the right valve appears a little beyond that of 
the left, showing the strong dentition at the posterior side. 


20. curtrus (f. 20), Sowh.—Testi D. Cayennensi simili, sed 
longé magis abbreviaté.—The abbreviated form of this shell is so 
constant through all the varieties of colouring that after examining 
a number of our own specimens with Mr. Taylor’s we have no 
hesitation in distinguishing it. 


21. RnuGosus (f. 27, 28, 29), Linn.—Testd elongata, tumida, 
crassa, luteo-purpurascente, seu aurantio-rosea, seu late fasciata,

22. utoncatus (f. 12), Lamk.—Testi D. rugose simili sed 
magis acuta, angulo acuté carinato, striis radiantibus magis dis- 
tantibus, margine valideé denticulato, ared postangulari fortissimé 
rugato et dentato.—The angle more keeled, all the sculpture 
more coarse than D. rugosa, the margin very strongly denticulated. 


23. opusuLus (f. 15), Desh.—Testa brevi, solida, pallida, ints 
purpurea, antice laevigata, acuminata, posticé tenuiter striata, 
carinato-angulata, brevissimd, area postangulari lata, subrecta, 

Ri AONRE NRC oe R : 
concavé, minutissimé granulata.—Of the short wedge form, with 
the posterior area finely granulated. 


24. penticuLatus (f. 33, 34, 35, 36), Zinn.—Testé brevi, tri- 
gona, solidé, sulcato-striata, alb4’, aurantid, purpurascente seu 
coloribus variis radiatim picté, anticé acuminata, postice biangu- 
lata, areA postangulari angusta, concentrice rugatd, are inter 
angulos radiatim suleaté, marginibus dentatis.—A short triangular 
species, variously painted, with a double angle. Between the 


DONAX. 309 


angles are radiating grooves, behind them both is a narrow area 
with undulating concentric ridges. 


25. srriarus (f. 52), Ziau.—Testi oblong4, carne&, purpura- 
scente densé striaté, anticé acuminata, posticé acuté biangulata, 
declivi, ared postangulari complanata, minutissimé striata, margine 
ventrali denticulato, medio convexo, anticé et posticé subincurvo. 
—Sharply angular, the angle being duplicate towards the ventral 
edge of the dorsal slope, the postangular area very flat. There 
is no reason to doubt the identity of Deshayes’ Lamarchic with 
this. 


26. saxutum (f. 110), Reeve-—TestA D. contuse simili, sed 
striis elevatis radiantibus sculpta, posticé valdé declivi, angulata. 
—Differing from D. striata in the ridge-like striz with which it 
israyed. It is also more angular and truncated posteriorly. 


27. vaniaBiuis (f. 387, 38, 39), Say.—Testd parva, tumida, 
tenuistriata, varié picta, anticé oblong’, prope marginem attenua- 
tim acuminata, posticé leviter angulata, area postangulari convexa, 
margine ventrali medio convexo.—A little, tumid, finely striated 
shell, variously coloured, distinguished by a peculiar pinched and 
pointed appearance towards the anterior extremity. 


28. Bens (f. 40, 41), Desh.—Testa oblonga, tenuiter striata, 
albi fulva seu purpureo radiata, postice brevi, declivi, obtuse 
angulatd, margine ventrali rectiusculo.—Resembling D. variabilis, 
but gradually sloping in front, with the ventral margin rather 
straight. 


29. aneustatus (f. 44), Sowh.—Testa albido-purpurascente, D. 
variabili simili sed magis compressa et elongatiimResembling 
D. variabilis, but much more elongated. 


30. Lavicatus (f. 80, 31, 32), Desh.—Testi solidd, politi, 
fulva, partim purpureo fasciatd, tumida, leviter striata, antice 
acuminatim rotundatd, posticé brevi, obtusd, medio inflata, um- 
bonibus obtusis, margine ventrali convexo.—A_ smooth, polished, 
obese, obtuse shell, of a fawn-colour, banded and tipped with 
purple. 


31. Satconensts (f. 45), Crosse et Fisch.—Testi brevi, com- 
pressa, obtusa, anticé rotundataé, posticé obtuse angulata, post 
angulum minuté cancellata, intus purpureo et aurantio variegati ; 
dentibus lateralibus magnis; latere postico rectiusculo, convexo. 
Resembling D. devigata in form, but finely cancellated on the 
area behind the angle.

310 DONAX. 


32. opesus (f. 42, 43), D’ Orb.—Testa parva, abbreviata, crassa, 
tumida, trigond, alba, fulvo fasciati, seu purpurea, lineis dorsali- 
bus purpureis ornata, minutissime punctato-striat4; umbonibus 
elevatis, latere antico acuminato, latere postico angulato, area 
postangulari angulatim convexé.—This remarkable little species 
is sculptured by punctured striz, not concentric, crossing the 
radiating stric. 


33. puNcTATO-sTRIATUS (f. 49, 50), Han/.—Solida, ventricosi, 
trigond, striis punctatis radiata, albidé carned lilaced seu pur- 
pureo-radiaté, umbonibus elevatis tumidis, angnlo postico obtuso 
plus minusve declivi, arei postangulari rectiuscula, prope margi- 
nem ventralem rotundatim producto, prope umbones complanato ; 
latere antico attenuatim acuminato, margine ventrali medio in- 
flato, posticé ante angulum subcontracto.—An easily distinguished, 
stout shell, with characteristic strongly-punctured grooves or striz. 


34. Conrant (f. 51), Desh.—Testé D. punctato-striate simili 
sed magis depressd, posticé magis angulatim productd, anticé 
magis elongatéa.—It is not quite easy to distinguish this species 
from the last, on account of intermediate specimens. It is how- 
ever flatter, not so pinched up in front, and more produced be- 
hind. 


35. contusus (f. 53, 55), Meeve-—TestA quam D. Conradi 
magis compressi, haud tantum ineequilaterali—The three last 
species, punctato-striated in the same way, exhibit a perplexing 
gradation m degree of flatness and production of the posterior 
side. 


36. Catirornicus (f. 54, and var. D. culter, Reeve, p. 56, 57), 
Conrad. —Testa oblonga, subeequilaterali, minutissime punctato- 
striata, superné sublaevigata, alba, pallidé purpureo radiata vel sub- 
viridi, ad umbones carned, purpureo nebulata, obscure biradiata, 
postice producta, obscuré biangulata, area postangulari convexa, 
elevata, anticé attenuatim subacuminaté, margine ventrali prope 
angulum subcontracto, ante medium plus minusve convexo.— 
There is some difficulty in identifying this shell from the original 
description, but I have not much doubt about it ; some specimens 
of the last species come very near to it, particularly about the 
umbones, which are very peculiarly coloured, but the shells of 
this species are narrower. ‘Tne swelled and elevated character of 
the back area is easily observable. ‘The gradation of specimens, 
however, prevents our separating the varieties named D. cu/ter. 


37. petroipes (f. 100, 101), Lams.—Testi magna, solida, 


DONAX. 311 


brevi, alta, obtusé angulata, purpurea seu pallidé violaced, anticé 
leevigata, rotundatim acuminata, posticé lat’, tenuiter striata, 
margine ventrali medio subconvexo, angulo postico obtuso, area 
postangulari convexo, medio obscuré angulato, prope umbones 
complanato.—Although the variety of this well-known species, 
named PD. epidermia, is generally rather longer and less elevated 
in form than the dark purple one, there can be no doubt that it 
is identical. 


38. Trcaonrcus (f. 96), Zan/.—Testi trigono-elevaté, tenui- 
uscula, pallidé purpurascenti, posticé obtuse angulatd, rugata, 
anticé attenuata, subacuminata, latere antico-dorsali incurvo, um- 
bonibus acuminatim producto-subrotundatis.— Remarkable for the 
acuminately produced umbones, and the incurved character of the 
anterior dorsal slope. 

39. cunEatus (f. 88, 89, 90), Zanv.—Testd obtuse trigona, 
compressa, levigata, alti, alba vel fusco-nigricanti vel carneo- 
fulva, postice obtusé angulata, post angulum undulatim granoso- 
rugata, margine ventrali intus levigaté.—A broad compressed 
shell, distinguished by undulating, granulated rugosities on the 
area behind the angle. D. granosa is most probably a variety of 
this. 

40. comprzssus (f. 97), Lamk.—Testa D. cuneate simillima, 
sed magis elevaté, umbonibus productis, margine antico-dorsali 
subincurvo.—The greater depth from apex to ventral margin and 
the concave outline of the antero-dorsal slope distinguish this 
from D. cuneuta. 

41. conummtuts (f. 113, 114, 115).—Testa quam D. cuneata 
magis ovali, angulo postico magis rotundato, rugis postangularibus 
tenuissimis.—More oval than D. ewneata, with the posterior side 
more rounded and much more finely ridge-striated. 


42. Bicotor (f. 102, 103), Lams.—Testa ovali-subcuneata, 
compressi, anticé et medio levi, posticé granulatim striati, alba, 
laté fusco-grisescente fasciaté, vel grised, obscuré fusco radiata, 
posticé obtusé biangulata, margine ventrali convexa, intus levi- 
gata, are postangulari concava.—The posterior side of this shell 
has a very obtuse angle in the usual part, and a second angle in 
the middle of the area; the area is granosely striated. 

43. rncarnatus (f. 98, 99), Chemn.—Testa brevi, compressa, 
elevati, carnea seu alba, purpureo ad umbones radiata, anticé 
leevissimi, subacuminata, postice rectiusculd, ante et post angulum 
striis radiantibus et rugis subconcentricis undulatis decussata ; 


312 DONAX. 


umbonibus perelevatis, margine ventrali antice subcontracto, 
posticé convexo.—This curious species is distinguished by the 
sculpture of the posterior area and the short straightness of the 
posterior side, and other peculiarities of form. I see no distinction 
in this from D. Dysont. 


44, naprans (f. 91, 92, 93, 94, 95), Lams:.—Testa ovato-sub- 
trigona, brevi, coloribus variis fasciaté et maculata, anticé et medio 
sublevigata vel leviter lirati, posticé validé rugata, angulo postico 
obtusissimo, area postangulari convex4, margine ventrali prope 
angulum subcontracto, medio convexo, intus levigato.—This 
small, obtuse species is very variable in colouring and even in 
form. ‘The ridges are irregular, strong at the back, and more or 
less obliterated in the middle. Fig. 95 probably represents D. 
villatus, Lamk. 


45. Faspa (f. 108, 109), Chemu.—Quam D. radians magis 
elongata.—Lamarck quotes the figures in Chemnitz and the Hn- 
cyclopeedia for his D. radians. Had this been correct, Chemnitz’s 
name must have been adopted by the law of priority. But the 
ficures thus referred to show a much more elongated shell, which 
agrees with the shells which we now figure. It is doubtful, how- 
ever, whether the distinction can be well maintained. 


46. appreviatus (f. 106, 107), Lam&s.—Testa suborbiculari, 
compressi, alta, laevigata, grisea vel alba, roseo trifasciatd, posticé 
brevi, rugosi, obtusissimé angulata, margine antico-dorsali declivi, 
margine ventrali convexo, intus levigato.—Flat, almost rounded, 
with granulated, undulating ridges on the back area. 


47. ovatinus (f. 104), Desh.—Test’ compressd, ovato-subro- 
tunda, laevigata, cinered vel radiatim maculata; latere antico brevi 
subrotundatim convexo, margine ventrali rotundato, intus levi. 
A rounded, flat, Tellina-lookmg shell. 


48. nucuLoies (f. 105), /eeve.—Subovata, plano-convexa, 
albida, epidermide subviride nitente induta, latere antico subro- 
tundo, margine antico-dorsali declivi, margine ventrali convexo, 
posticé prope angulum parum contracto, intus levigato, latere 
postico obtusé angulato, margine convexo.—Another ‘ellina-like 
species, without markings and more oval than D. ovadina. 

49. incpratus, (f. 112), Reeve-—Test& subovata, tenuissima, 
levigata, pallidé carneo-rosea, latere postico brevi, subrotundato, 
subflexuoso, margine ventrali medio inflato, prope terminos sub- 
incurvo, intus levi; latere antico declivi, acuminato.—l have not 
had the opportunity of examining this neat little shell, which was 
originally drawn from a single valve in Mr. Hanley’s collection. 


DONAX. 313 


50. opscurus (f. 111), Reeve.—Testd D. nueuloidi simili sed 
concentricé striata.x— Without re-examination of the two shells, 
for the present locked up in the late Mr. Cuming’s cabinet, I 
cannot decide whether this is not a variety of D. nuculoides. 


The question would depend upon the character of the described 
striation. 


51. serra (f. 87), Chemn.—Test& crassi, ovato-subtrigona, 
lata, carne purpurascenti, levigatd, anticé rotundatim oblonga, 
margine ventrali concavo, intus crenato, posticé subcontracto, 
angulo postico obtusissimo, rugis denticulatis serrato, ared post- 
angulari concavi, umbonibus obtusis.—A thick, oval shell, very 
obtuse at the extremities and angles, and serrated at and behind 
the angle by denticulated ridges. 


52. TruNcutus (f. 58, 59, 60), ZLznn.—Testi elongato-sub- 
trigona, compressi, solida, levigaté, obscure radiatim striata, 
alba vel purpurascente, fulvo seu purpureo fasciata, anticé elongata, 
lata, rotundata, concentricé leviter rugati, posticé brevi, convexa ; 
margine ventrali medio convexo, posticé subcontracto, intus den- 
ticulato, valvi dextrd alteram superante, margine dorsali declivi, 
recto, concavo, valvé sinistra peculiariter elevati et compressi.— 
The variation in form is considerable among the specimens of this 
species, some being flatter, broader, and more truncated than 
others. ‘There is a peculiarity in this and the following species 
which has not been noticed. The mght valve overlaps the other 
at the posterior part of the ventral margin, while the left valve 
is peculiarly flattened and elevated above the other at the dorsal 
line near the hinge. Several true British specimens exist: one 
well authenticated, in Mr. Jeffreys’ collection. 


53. vetiicatus (f. 61, 62, 63), Reeve.—Testa polita, tumida, 
obscurissimé striata, truncata, liliaceo radiata, valvis supra et infrd 
parum inequalibus, latere antico producto, rotundo, latere postico 
truncato, margine ventrali posticé subcontracto, ared postangulari 
brevi, concava.—The contraction of the ventral margin near the 
posterior angle, whence this shell derives its name, is a variation 
common to many species. ‘I'he curious inequality of the valves 
at the two margins observed in the last 1s shown in a less degree 
in this. 

54. virratus (f. 66, 67, var. semistriata, £70), Da Costa.— 
Testa ovali, gibbosa, solida, luted, fulvo laté radiata, purpureo fas- 
ciata, anticé politd, medio et postice minute radiatim striata,ad angu- 
lum et ante usque ad medium lineis impressis punctatis subconcen- 


314 DONAX. 


tricis plus minusve decussata, ared postangulari declivi convexa, 
prope umbones nonnunquam liris concentricis rugata, margine ven- 
trali subeequaliter convexo, margine dorsali antico declivi, subexca- 
vato.—This shell is stouter and more regularly oval than its nearest 
allies. In most of the specimens can be traced a decussated 
sculpture in parts from the posterior angle to the middle. In 
D, semistriata, Poli, this character is strongly marked and covers 
two-thirds of the shell. In the young state the postangular area 
sno strong ridges, which disappears partially or wholly when 
adult. 


55. In consequence of an alteration in the nomenclature and 
synonymy of wttatus (Anatinum), truneulus, etc., this number is 
omitted. Mr. Jeffreys having thoroughly investigated these 
species, | have adopted his views. 


56. Cumrnen (f. 64, 65), Dunker.—Testa oblonga, compla- 
nati, glaberrim’, albo roseo lividove radiati, postice brevi sub- 
truncata, antico rotundo, oblongo, margine ventrali arcuato, intus 
crenulato. —I'his much resembles a flattened form of D. ¢runculus. 


57. nivipus (f. 75), Reeve.—Testa elongata, compress, tenui, 
fulvo triradiata, anticé producti, prope marginem levigata, 
posticé et medio rugis concentricis prope marginem rectiusculis 
liraté, margine ventrali rectiusculo, intus denticulato.—This little 
shell exhibits a sculpture at the back of the angle and along a 
portion of the posterior and middle of the surface similar to that 
in the young of the Mediterranean variety of D. anatina, but it 
seems too long and straight for that species. 

58. porrrus (f. 84, 85), Da Costa.—Testa elongata, levigata, 
compressa, luted, spadiceo variegata, post medium fascia alba 
radiata, anticé elongat&, marginibus dorsali et ventrali paulo con- 
vexo, postice subacuminatim producto, margine ventrali levi.— 
The young shell figured by Reeve under the name D. variegata 
evidently belongs to this well-known species, 

59. Gracius (f. 76, 77, 78, 79), Hand.—Testa angusta, crassa, 
elongata, tumida, alba, hlace&, violaced, obscure fasciata, radiatim 
tenuissime leviter striaté, margine dorsali purpureo lineata, antice 
elongata, acuminata, margine ventrali medio convexo, intus cre- 
nato, post medium subcontracto, postice producto, obscuré an- 
gulato subacuminato.—A beautifully-formed elongated shell. 

60. navicuta (f. 80), Hand.—Test& quam D. gracilis magis 
inflata, latiore, epidermide viridi indutd, margine ventrali magis 
convexi.—A much broader shell than D. gracilis. 


DONAX. 315 


61. putcneLa (f. 81, 82), Zand.—Testa oblonga, cuneiformi, 
tenui, semipellucidai, cimereo-albé seu carne’, purpureo radiatA 
et fasciati, tenuissime radiatim striaté, latere antico producto, 
acuminato, medio subcompresso, subcontracto, latere postico 
tumido, obtusé angulato, brevi, area postangulari convexi.— 
There is no danger of confounding this semifransparent little 
narrow species with any other. 

62. mnnus (f. 83), MZdrch—Testd parva, angusté oblonga, 
semipellucidd, iridescenti, tenuissimé striati, pallidd, purpureo 
bifasciata, antice producté, subacuminata, margine ventrali parum 
convexo, posticé vix contracto, latere postico acuminatim producto. 
—Looking at this shell under the lens, a peculiar iridescence may 
be seen and very minute striz. 


63. prratinus (f. 86), Dess.—Testd tenui, trigono-oblong4, 
levigaté, purpureo et fulvo radiatim fasciata, anticé angusta, 
acuminataé, medio subcontracta, posticé tumida, lata, elevat&, sub- 
quadraté, umbonibus fere medianis, margiue ventrali intus cre- 
nato.—A pretty little petal-like species. 


64. sproutum (f. 116, Plate IIL), Han/.—Testai quam D. 
pulchella solidiore, magis opaca, intus purpured.—Resembling 
D. pulchella form, but more solid and opaque. It is strongly 
purple within. 


65. rnconspicuus (f. 117, Plate IIT.), Sows.—Testa oblongo- 
cuneati, complanata, leevigataé, fusci, obscuré purpureo radiata, 
anticé producté, subacuminata, posticé angulata, minuté radiatim 
striati, ared postangulari convex’i.—Several specimens of this, in 
Mr. Taylor’s collection and our own, were at first taken for the 
young of some large flat species, such as cuncata, but on exami- 
nation they were found to be not at all rugose posteriorly but 
only radiately striated.

MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


TYPHIS, Montfort. 


Gen. Char. Testa spiralis, canalifera, muriciformis ; anfractibus 
trivaricosis, inter varices tubiferis, ultimo magno ; tubis singulis 
rotundis apertis, intts penetrantibus, inter varices instructis ; 
apertura ovali, subcontracta, subintegra, canali clauso ; operculo 
corneo, nonspirali, nucleo subterminal. 

Between each varix on the upper part of each whorl is a round 
tube, the hollow of which penetrates into the interior of the shell. 
In every other respect the shells of this genus have the usual 
character of three-variced murices. 


SPECIES. 
1. Sowrrsy1, Brod., (f. 11, 12, 13)—Subturbinata, alba et 


fusca, canali superné lato, termine angusto, retrorso, varicibus 
laminatis, laqueatis, medio contractis, superné subexpansis, in- 
curvis, acuminatis, tubis plus minusve elongatis.—Of a turbinate 
form, with long tubes and fluted varices contracted in the middle. 
T. fistulosus, Bronchi. The fossil type is a shell with rounder 
whorls. 

2. quapratus, Hinds, (f. 10).—Quam 7. Sowerbyi magis 
quadratus, canali latiori, tubis brevioribus, anfractibus spiraliter 
strigatis, varicibus crassioribus, ad marginem fimbriatis.— Differing 
from 7. Sowerbyi in being more square, the canal being broader 
above and the varices being thicker with a fringe on the margin. 

3. nivens, /inds, (f. 1, 2).—Brevis, alba, varicibus simpli- 
cibus laminatis, termine rectiusculis, tubis breviusculis, canali 
brevi, truncato.—Short, white, with simple laminated varices,

tundis, canali elongato, ‘oblique sursum acclivi ; varicibus angus- 
tibus, laqueatis, infra pinnatis, supra uniplicatis, arcuatim expansis, 
termine valde incurvis, acuminatis; tubis recurvis; spira elevata. 
—'The termination of the varices at the upper end forms a strongly 
curved hook which commences on the whorl by a reflected flat- 
tened fold; the canal is long and gently sloped backwards. 


6. Crsryt, Petit, (f. 14).—Fusiformis, canali elongato, angu- 
latim recurvo; anfractibus rotundis, spiraliter rubro fasciatis, 
varicibus digitatis, digitis quatuor, uncinatis—Whorls rounded, 
banded, varices digitated ; digitations hooked ; canal long, angu- 
larly recurved.

curvis, cum varicibus junctis, varices arcuatos duplicatos tubiferos 
formantibus.—Hach tube is bent back into the preceding varix, 
so as to form with it a double arched varix ending in a tube. 


Note.—The shell named Typhis Angassii, of Crosse, is not a 
. . S . J . Z . 4 
Typhis, having no tube penetrating to the mterior.

TRICHOTROPIS, Brod. and Sow. 


Char. Gen. Testa spiralis, carinata; aperturd magna, angulata, 
infra subacuminata, integra ; columella obliqué truncata, anfrac- 
tibus paucis, ultimo magno; epidermide corned, super carinas 
frequenter ciliata ; operculo corneo, non spirali, nucleo terminali. 

A genus of carinated spiral shells, belonging to the Buccinwm 
family, but differing from Buceinwm in the want of a distinct 
canal. The thin epidermis with which the shell is covered is in 
many species ciliated at the keels. “Operculum non-spiral, with a 
terminal nucleus. 


SPECIES. 


1. Borealis, Brod. et Sowd., (f. 1, 2, 3).—Subfusiformis,

nata, labro ad costarum terminos angulato; epidermide super 
costas duplicatim ciliat’i.—Specimens from different localities 
differ much in relative proportions, some being much more acu- 
minate than others. Fig. 1 may be taken to represent the typical 
British form; fig. 3 is drawn from a eseines in the British 
Museum, from Behring’ s Straits, and fig. 2 is the acuminate form 
which has been named 7. Atlantica. 


2. costeLLata, Couth., (f. 6)—Quam 7. dorealis tenuior, 
costis tenuioribus, inferioribus magis numerosis.—Thinner than 
T. borealis, with thinner ribs ; instead of two rather stout ones 
beneath the three upper ones, there are four or five very small. 

3. INeRMIS, Hinds, (f. 14).—Quam 7’ dorealis crassior, carinis 
crassioribus rotundis, umbilico lato, aperturd subpyriformi, labro

angulato margine basali sursum acclivi, spira elevaté, acuminata. 
—Subconical, rather smooth, with two strong keels in the middle 
of the whorls, the intermediate space being lightly striated and 
straight ; aperture quadrangular, acuminated at the lower part, 
the columella slightly tortuous. 


9. contca, Miill., (f. 17).—Trochiformis, spira elevataé; an- 
fractibus angulatis, ultimo magno, biangulato, ad costis duabus 
validis ad angulos, und intermedia et und inferiori cincto; aper-

margine inferiori rectiusculo, vix acclivii—This conical shell is 
figured from drawings, kindly sent to me by M. Morch, of speci- 
mens taken in Greenland. Since figuring it I have examined a 
shell in the collection of A. Adams, Esq., which, although thicker 
in substance, I believe to belong to the same rare species.

apertura maxima, subquadrata, columella lata, subplanulata.— 
Angularly globose, last whorl large, with two distant ribs in the 
centre and a straight broad space between. The aperture is large, 
rather square; the columella broad and flat. 


12. untcartnata, Sowd., (f. 10).—Angulatim subovalis, levi- 
gata; spira producta, anfractibus supra angulatim carinatis, supra 
angulum complanatis, depressis; ultimo magno, carind minute 
carinata, umbilico latissimo, margine carinato ; apertura oblique 
subquadrata, termine oblique acuminato; labro externo medio 
rotundato, supra et infra contracto.—The finest specimen yet 
known of this remarkably-formed shell is that in the British 
Museum, from which the figure in Sowerby’s ‘ Genera of Shells’ 
was taken. 


APPENDIX TO MONOGRAPH OF THE GENUS 


CONUS. 
(Sequel to p. 47, Pt. 18.) 


404. compressus, Sowd., (f. 602, 603).—C. angustus, subcy- 
lindraceus, spiraliter tenuissimé striatus, infra sulcatus, pallidé 
rubescens, maculis castaneis irregulariter pictus, spira gradata, 
castaneo maculati, anfractibus compressis.—This shell has some 
resemblance to C. anemone, but it is more solid in texture and 
the whorls are much more compressed, 7.e. a greater number 
contained within a given circumference. 


405. RosEo-T1NctTUus, Sowd., (f. 604).—C. subpyriformis, pallidé 
roseus, ad spiram castaneo maculatus, supra usque ad medium 
tubro maculatus et nebulosus infra medium albido unifasciatus, 
infra fasciam rubro flammulatus, superné prope angulum spiraliter 
striatus, versus basim subduplicatim sulcatus.—Slightly pyriform, 
narrow towards the base, beautifully tinged with rose and clouded 
with darker tints which culminate into reddish-brown spots near 
the centre. 


406. anactyptus, Crosse, (f. 605, 606).—A pretty little rose- 
tinted shell, described in the ‘ Journal de Conchyliologie,’ nearly 
resembling C. verrucosus in form and sculpture. 


407. Moussont, Crosse, (f. 607, 608).—C. solidus, flavidus, 
maculis aurantiis magnis pictus, medio subinflatus, infra con- 
tractus, granulatus, anfractibus coronatis rotundato-angulatis.— 
A solid, yellowish shell, with large patches of orange. It has a 
coronated and roundly angulated spine. 


408. straturatus, Sowb., (f. 609, 610).—C. oblongus, sub- 
pyriformis, supra subinflatus, infra angustatus subtortuus, albus 
pallidissimé cgruleo tinctus, maculis subquadratis pallidé fuscis, 
in fascias duas latas dispositis, et aliis irregularibus ornatus, 
sulcis distantibus albolineatis supra medium subevanidis, infra 
profundis ; angulo subrotundo; spira parum elevata, spiraliter 
striata, maculis fuscis linearibus radiata ; apice acuminato ; aper-

326 CONUS. 


turd lata ; columella distinctéi.—Resembling C. col/isus, Rve., but 
distinguished by the style of marking, the vertical flame-marks 
being cut across by the white-edged grooves. 


409. Linnarpi, Bern. et Crosse, (f. 611-614).—A species 
belonging to the same group as C. Bernardi, etc., but differing 
in the form of the spire, the whorls of which are carinated. The 
four beautiful specimens figured are in the collection of Mr. G. F. 
Angas. 

410. suscarinatus, Sowd., (f. 615).—C. turbinatus, sublevi- 
gatus, infra rudé sulcatus, albus, pallidissimé purpureo tinctus, flam- 
mulis fuscis irregulariter angulatis longitudinalibus, medio inter- 
ruptis pictus ; lateribus rectis ; angulo subcarinato ; spird prope 
angulum convexd, apice acuminato. Variat fasciis duabus latis, 
lineis interruptis cinctis ornata.—A more solid and much broader 
shell than C. voluminalis, which it somewhat resembles. 


411. excavatus, Sowd., (f. 616).—C. C. coffee simili sed macu- 
lis magis regularibus, anfractibus supra angulum excavatis, cancel- 
latis, infra angulum rotundatis.—This shell has a more compact, 
neat, and regular appearance in texture, colour, and markings 
than C. coffea, besides which it has a round excavation on the top 
of the whorls, and a rounded shoulder beneath the angle. 


412. Macarm, Bernardi, (f. 617).—A shell of remarkable 
form and colouring, described and figured in the Journ. de Conch. 


413. nicrescens, Sowd., (f. 618).—This shell is more pyri- 
form than others of the same group, its coronation consists of 
few large and sharp-edged nodules, the colouring is deep and 
has a peculiar half-transparent, tortoiseshell richness, the heart- 
shaped white spaces are small and comparatively distant. 

414, proximus, Sowd., (f. 619).—This exquisite shell, de- 
scribed in the Proceedings of the Zodlogical Society, has a general 
resemblance to C. Molluccanus, but its characters, which can be 
seen in the figure, distinguish it perfectly. 

415. Macut, Crosse, (f.621).—A thin shell, resembling C. Ja- 
maicensis, but of a more inflated, although still cylindrical form. 

416. caine, Bernard, (f. 623).—A much stouter shell, and 
of finer texture than C. emaciatus. The columellar fold is very 
strong. 

417. conpENsus, Sowd., (f. 622).—C. cylindraceus, crassus, 
roseus, fusco rubescente tenuiter reticulatus, spiraliter striatus, 
infra contractus, spirA conicd, obtusi.—A connecting link be- 


CONUS. 327 


tween the groups to which C. auratus and C. textile respectively 
belong. 


418. Cuznut, Bern., (f. 624).—Resembling C. dineatus, but 
smoother and more straight-sided. 


419. puanaxis, Desh., (f. 625).—This appears to have been 
described in the Book on the Isl. Bourbon, from a very young 
specimen. It is remarkable for the flatness of its spire. 


420. sprroeiossus, Desh., (f. 626).—This, like the preceding, 
seems to have been figured and described from a specimen too 
immature to be very characteristic. 


421. Conpexti, Bern., (f. 627)—A rather short, thick shell, 
of angular form, with patches and zigzag markings of chestnut 
colour. From the figure it would appear that there are several 
distant, strong spiral ridges near the base. 


422. Crossnanus, Bern., (f. 628, 629).—In the typical variety 
of this species the white heart-shaped spots have a tendency to be 
iregularly elongated vertically—There is a slight shoulder near the 
angle of the whorls, and the crowning tubercles are small, obtuse, 
and have a peculiarly pinched-up appearance when not obsolete. 


423. miseR, Boivin, (f. 630).—This species, from Cape Verd, 
has been frequently named in collections, by error, C. sizdon, Rve. 
The latter is, however, a much more cylindrical shell. 

424. Vitunprnt, Bern., (f. 629*).—Belonging to the same 
group as C. undatus, C. emarginatus, etc., but differently marked, 
it is contracted at the sides and strongly grooved near the base. 


425. Dapune, Boivin, (f. 630*).—Judging from the figure, 
this species must in some degree reseinble C C. conspersus or C. 
Broderipii. 


426. Cucritm, Bern., (f. 631%*).—Sculptured with lines of 
granulation, otherwise resembling C. capitaneus. 

427. Capririt, Bern., (f. 632).—Distinguished by spiral 
punctured striz, the whorls rounded at the margin and crowned 
with rather indistinct rounded nodules. 

428. muLticateNnatus, Sowd., (f. 638, 634).—Conus brevis, 
solidus, acutangulatus, levis, albus, prope angulum distanter 
nigro maculatus, fasciis latis duabus interruptis et lined textili 
interrupt&é medianai cinctus, super fascias lineis fuscis maculis 
rotundis albis catenatis ornatus; lateribus rectiusculis; spird 
brevi, distanter et late mnculaiaes anfractibus supra concavis.— 


328 CONUS. 


The spire is rather flat, and the tops of the whorls hollow. The 
peculiarity of the colouring consists in the chain-like bands of 
black spots and white intervals appearing across the large chest- 
nut patches. 

429. noputosus, Sowd., (f. 635).—C. turbinatus, acutangu- 
latus, flavidus, lineis angulatis, rubris reticulatus, intts pallidé 
roseus, infra acuminatus, striatus, labro superné emarginato, spira 
elevata lateraliter convexa, anfractibus gradatis superioribus nodu- 
liferis. —Differing from C. acuminatus, ar only in general aspect, 
but as a lighter and less solid shell, the lateral outline of the spire 
being convex and the upper whorls coronated. 


430. Tasmanta, Sowd., (f. 636).—C. elongato-cylindricus, 
luteus, strigis irregularibus longitudinalibus rubescentibus pictus, 
spiraliter leviter liratus, supra acutangulatus, apicé depresso, infra 
angulum subinflatus, versus basim attenuatus.—Differing from C. 
Magus chiefly in the narrow, attenuated form. 

431. QuapRatomacuLatus, Sowd., (f. 637, 638).—C. acutan- 
gulatus, solidus, levis, maculis quadratis seriatim pictus, in fasciis 
duabus nebulosus, lateribus rectis, apice depresso acuto, apertura 
angustata, margine maculato.—Somewhat resembling C. Keatii 
in markings and form, but is a more solid and smaller shell, 
narrower, and with straight sides and more depressed apex. 


432. acutmarernatus, Sowd., (f. 640, 641).—C. acuminatus, 
breviusculus, pallidus, distanter biseriatim maculatus, distanter 
spiraliter sulcatus, apice acuminato, gradato, anfractibus acute 
carinatis, labro eleganter sinuato.—In some respects resembling 
C. voluminalis, but smaller and shorter, with the spire more ele- 
vated and the whorls sharply carinate. 

433. ctrcumstenatus, Crosse, (f. 620).—C. subcylindraceus, 
oblongus, obtusé angulatus, lineis punctatis et granulatis cinctus, 
nebulis aurantiis ad angulum et infra medium interruptis picta, 
apice subrotundatim convexo.—Judging from the figure in the 
French journal, this must be a very interesting species. 


434, aNABATHRUM, Crosse, (f. 639).—C. acutangulatus, levis, 
flavidus, infra acuminatus, ad angulum et infra medium albo in- 
terruptim fasciatus, anfractuum angulo acuto; apice gradato, ele- 
vato, acuminato.—Of the sharply angular, acuminate form which 
characterizes the group to which C. wudatus, ete., belong. 

435. TuRRICULATUS, Sowd., (f. 648, 644).—C. subfusiformis, 
curtus, medio subinflatus, supra et jth attenuatus, acuminatus, 
sp siraliter sulcatus, sulcis numerosis, puncturatis, interstitiis ro- 


CONUS. 3829 


tundis, spird elevatd, acutangulata, ad angulum anfractuum moni- 
liferé, anfractibus supra angulum levigatis.—More fusiform ‘and 
more finely sculptured than C. acutangulatus, the margin of all 
the whorls coronated, in the latter respect differing from C. pre- 
cellens, in which they are quite smooth. 


436. ARCHETYPUS, Crosse, (f. 645, and as C. daucus, var. f. 330). 
—There can be no doubt that the shell figured in plate 14, as 
a variety of C. daucus, is identical in character with the one 
figured in the French journal. The oblong-square markings and 
the more rounded angle of the upper edge of the whorls sufficiently 
distinguish both specimens from C. daucus. 


437. corvicEra, Sowb., (as C. nobilis, pl. 21, f. 498).—C. 
quam C. nobilis supra et infra medium magis inflatus, infra angu- 
lum subrotundus, maculis cordiformibus albis approximatis, sub- 
longitudinalibus, non linea rubra marginatis ; spire: anfractibus 
magis planulatis, apice albo.—The two shells which, in all the 
great collections and all the books, have been placed side by side 
as varieties of C. xobilis, appear to me to be exceedingly distinct. 
The four or five points of difference are quite constant, and I have 
never seen a shell intermediate in respect to any one of them.— 
The apex is always pink in C. nobilis, and white in C. cordigera. 
The former has its heart-shaped white spots bordered with a 
line of strong colour on the front side, the intervening spaces 
are wide, and crossed by articulated lines, the outlines of the 
shell are straight, and in each of these particulars C. cordigera 
differs from it. 

438. concinnus, Sowh.—C. subpyriformis, levis, infra sul- 
catus, solidus, purpurascens, spiraliter lineis interruptis cincta, 
anfractuum margine acuto distanter nigro-punctato.—A smoother 
and neater shell than C. punctatus. 


439. BornegEnsis, Sows., (f. 648).—C. subcylindrica, oblongo 
infra attenuatus, sulcatus, supra subinflatu, levis, obscure fulvus, 
rubro obscuré flammatus, apertura intis purpurea, margine ma- 
culato.—The only specimen of this shell we have seen is in the 
collection of T. L. Taylor, Esq. 


440. Paztr, Bern., (f. 649).—C. crassus, turbinatus, obtusé 
angulatus, albidus, fasciis quater latis castaneis cinctus, medio et 
ad marginem superiorem maculis quadratis tessellatus.—At first 
sight this would appear to be one of the numerous varieties of 
C. venulatus, but the tessellated character caused by the white 
lines cutting off and defining the square spots, is perhaps suffi- 
cient to distinguish it. 


330 CONUS. 


441. comeLanatus, Sowd., (f. 650, 651, and as C. Victoria, 
var. pl. 23, f. 576).—C. quam C. Vietorie magis inflatus, latior, 
lineis reticulatis tenuioribus, apice magis complanatus.—The true 
C. Victorie, which is a thick, rather narrow shell, with large 
open, principally vertical pattern and much elevated spire, may 
properly be kept distinct from the broader, flat-topped, more 
inflated, more finely reticulated, and banded shells here named. 
The variety fig. 650 is very peculiar in its chain-like reticulation, 
but in other characters it bears the stamp of the new species. 

442. Rottanpi, Bern., (f. 652).—C. subcylindricus, longi- 
tudinaliter striatus, spiraliter distanter sulcatus, anfractibus su- 
perné rotundis, suturd crenulaté.—Our figure is copied from 
Bernardi’s work, in which the “ festooned” suture and the longi- 
tudinal fine ribs are not visible. It must, however, be an inter- 
esting shell. 

443. consuL, Boivin, (pl. 21, f. 509).—When the varieties 
now grouped under the name C. magus come to be properly 
compared it may be found necessary to separate the elongated 
variety with articulated lines. In that case, the name given by 
Boivin will be applied to it. 


444, Fravenrewpt, Crosse.—Of the two figures representing 
this species in the ‘ Journal de Conchyliologie,’ one is that of a 
zebra-striped variety of the solid, thick-shouldered shell which is 
identified in my work as C. circe of Chemnitz. See pl. 21, f. 514, 
and pl. 22, f.525. The other is that of a shorter shell than 
C. magus, and wider at the base. It agrees well with some speci- 
mens received from Borneo, which are now in Mr, Taylor’s col- 
lection. This may be received as a species not difficult to dis- 
tinguish. 

445. ALABASTER, Jeeve, (f. 631).—Since the publication of 
our monograph specimens have come to hand from the collection 
of Mr. Taylor. It is a beautifully sculptured white shell. 


446, Lizarpensts, Crosse—A straight-sided small cone, with 
reddish flame-like markings in two rows. 

447. srrtotatus, Reeve, (f. 827, 328).—United, by error, to 
C. ustulatus, Reeve. 


Species not identified or not adopted. 


BarrueLemyt, Pedit, Journ. Conch. From the specimen sold 
recently in the Robilliard sale, I had no hesitation in saying that 


CONUS. 331 


it was a remarkable variety of C. awrisiacus, having a broad belt 
of orange on the upper part, and a white band below the centre 
with dark spots. Mr. Crosse, however, kindly pointed out some 
distinctions which make it necessary to see the shell originally 
described before finally deciding.
