 ovata, basi truncata, tenui, anfractibus convexis, spiraliter 

 lineari-sulcatis, apertura ovata, columella arcuata, antice sub- 

 excavata, contorta; intus extusque livido-castanea, pellucida,

FUSUS (Bruguiere). 



F. tortuosus (PI. XXXII. Fig. 5 a, b}. Fus. testa anguste 

 fusiformi, canali peculiariter contracta et contorta, spirse su- 

 turis impressis, anfractibus rotundatis, spiraliter liratis, Kris 

 funiculatis, concentricis, versus aperturam minus elevatis, aper- 

 tura parva, ovata, columella arcuata, basi tortuosa ; opaco- 

 alba, epidermide crassiuscula olivacea induta. 



Very closely allied to F. Islandicus and propinquus, but dis- 

 tinct from all the varieties of those species by its rounded 

 closely-edged whorls and twisted canal, in which latter cha- 

 racter it agrees rather with the little F. pygmaus of Gould.
