6. T. elongatus Elongated, obtuse, spirally striated ; the last whorl near- 

 ly cylindrical ; aperture short, narrow above ; lip expanded; pillar without 



plait A. elon. Sower. Min. Conch, t. cccclx. f. 3. — London clay. — This shell 



is surely out of place in the present group. 



Gen. LXX. ACTEON.— Body lip toothed ; separating line 

 simple. 



802. A. denticidatus. — Whorls seven or eight ; body lip with 



two folds ; outer lip denticulated within. 



Voluta dent. Mont. Test. Brit. 234, t. xx. f. 5 — On sea-weed near high 

 water-mark, England.

 large, slightly rounded, the others forming a conical subproduced spire, all 

 slightly wrinkled by the lines of growth ; aperture oblong-oval, half the 

 length of the shell ; the body lip has one tooth less in size than the two on 

 the pillar ; the teeth in the outer lip vary in number, and in some young in- 

 dividuals are absent. The Voluta ringens and refiexa of Dr Turton (Conch. 

 Diet. 251.) appear to be only varieties of A. denticulatus. 



303. A. bidentatus. — Whorls six or seven ; body lip with 



one tooth ; outer lip simple. 



Voluta bid. Mont. Test. Brit. Sup. 100. t. xxx. f. 2 At Dunbar, Mr

Length half an inch ; ovate, smooth, chesnut-brown ; the body whorl oc- 

 cupying three-fourths of the shell ; aperture contracted retrally ; the whorls

 line.

 bosity in the middle. 



Voluta fus. Turt. Conch. Diet. 251 — Exmouth, Mrs C. W. Luscombe. 



" Shell glossy white, transparent, quite smooth, jwollen in the middle, and 

 tapering to both ends ; spires four, very flat, and only defined by a fine lucid 

 circular line, the first very large and occupying more than three-fourths of 

 the shell, inflated in the middle and tapering towards the base, which is 

 rounded and a little reflected ; aperture oblong-oval, reaching to the top of 

 the primary volution ; the outer lip very thin and plain ; pillar lip smooth, 

 not spreading nor reflected, without teeth or folds, but furnished with a small 

 oblique gibbosity in the middle: length T 3 -ths of an inch ; breadth half its
