F. cixEREUS, Reeve. PI. oV, iigs. 139-141. 



Shell more or less shouldered; canal rather short; spire long. 

 Rilis gt'nerally whitish; revolving lira^, alternately larger and 

 smaller, cross the ribs, and the larger Vwpe are brownish ; the 

 interstices of tlie sculpture are brownish, sometimes variegated 

 with white. Length, 20 mill.

Fusus luteopicfus, Dall (fig. 140), is the shell which many 

 Californian collectors have erroneously referred to F. amhustus, 

 Gld., and which others have identified as F. geniculus, Conrad : 

 the latter is a miocene fossil, the figure of which is not sufficiently 

 good for recognition, the type lost. I do not doubt the identity 

 of Itdeopictus with cinereus, which was described watliout locality, 

 and as a Turhinella. P. Taylorianus, Reeve, (fig. 141), appears 

 to be a worn, immature state of the same species. 



F. DuNKERi, Jonas. PI. 37, fig. 142. 



White, with a bi'ownish interrupted zone. Length, 20 mill. 



Australia. 



This is evidently a very much worn specimen and perhaps not 

 adult; the locality, also, has not been confirmed b}' subsequent 

 collectors. Dr. Philippi considered F. Tayloi'ianus, Reeve, a 

 svnonj'm, but I do not think the condition of i)»/^/^f^?^^ justifies a 

 positive conclusion. If the tW'O species be merged the adopted 

 name will be Bunkeri, which has decided priority of publication. 



F. CRATICULATUS, Brocclii. PI. 3*7, figs. 143, 144. 



Reddish l)rown, resembling F. Hj/raciisunus somewhat in form 



and sculpture. Length, 31 mill. 



Mediterranean ; rather rare. 



F. scaber. Lam. (fig. 144), is a synon^'^m. 



F. Syracusanus, Linn. PI. 31, tigs. 145, 146. 



Whitish, with usually' the shoulders of the whorls chestnut- 

 brown, as well as the canal, a median band of the same ou the 



body-whorl. Length, TS to 2*25 inches. 



MeOiterranean. 



The form and coloring are remarkably similar in a numl)er of 

 specimens from various localities, now before me; yet a A^ariety 

 figured l)y Reeve (fig. 146), is larger, whorls rounded, Avithout
