Broderip, Zool. Journal, vol. v. p. 45. pi. 8. f. 3. 



Bab. Cork, L'eland. 



Partaking very much of the character of Fusus.

 smooth, furnished with a callosity at the upper part, 

 interior of the aperture radiately finely ridged ; ches-

Eab. ? 



This species has, I fear, been confounded with the B. 

 papyracemn, from which it is constantly distinguished by 

 its less elongated form and deep red colour. 



Species 33. (Fig. 33 and 34. Mus. Cmning.) 



Buccinum lagenarium. Bnc. testd ovatd, transversim

 diceo-fuscis longitudiiialiter undulatis varie pictd.

fuscis articulatis. 

 Shell obsoletely flatly ridged, ridges articulated with square

 Deshayes, Anim. sans vert. vol. x. p. 81. note. 



Purpura lagenaria, Lamarck. 

 Variety a. Purpura cucurbita, Duclos. 

 Variety /3. an Purpura zebra ? Kiener. 

 Hab. Cape of Good Hope. 



By some unfortunate mistake two examples of Var. 

 have been figured in place of one of each variety ; Var. a 

 has been, however, well represented by M. Duclos in the 

 ' Magasin de Zoologie' for 1833, and it is a shell of very 

 common occurrence. 



December, 1846.
