 spire very much produced ; whorls strongly obliquely 

 pUcated and wrinkled round the upper part ; apertui-e

This appears to be distinct from any of the numerous 



varieties of B. nndatmn. 



Species 105. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 BucciNTJM TUBULOSUM. Buc. testd ovato-turritd, spird 

 acumimtd, valde productd; anfractibus rotmidatis, e

 The tobulous Buccinum. Shell ovately turreted, 

 spire acuminated, very much produced; whorls 

 rounded, strongly plaited from the sutures, trans- 

 versely very closely finely ridged ; aperture short, 

 rounded; yellowish-brown, interior of the aperture 

 whitish, tinged with orange. 



Hab. ? 



Distinguished by the rounded tubular structure of the 

 whorls. 



Species 106. (Fig. Kiener.) 



Buccinum Delalandii. Buc. testd ovato-oblongd, sub- 

 turriculata, cinered, transversim tenuissime striata, 

 fasciis longitudinalilus unduMis ; spird acuta; aper- 

 turd ovato-oblongd; labro Icevi, albo, dilatato, intus 

 striata, rubescente; epidermide virescente. 



Delaland's Buccinum. Shell ovately oblong, some- 

 what turriculated, ash colom-, transversely very finely

 Kiener, Icon. coq. viv. p. 15. pi. 5. f. 15. 

 Hab. Cape of Good Hope. 



Tliis is another species described and figured by M. 

 Kiener as here represented, which is unknown to me; 

 his reference to Chemnitz however is certainly incorrect. 



Species 107. (Fig. Kiener.) 



Buccinum Quoyi. Buc. testd ovato-oblongd, fulvd, trans- 

 versim plurimum longitudinaliter tenuissime striata; 

 spird acuta; columelld prominuld; aperturd ovali- 

 formi, rubescente ; labro arcuato, interne striata. 



Guoy's Buccinum. Shell ovately oblong, fulvous, trans- 

 versely very numerously and fmely longitudinally 

 striated ; spire sharp ; columella prominent ; aperture 

 oval-shaped, reddish ; lip arched, striated internally. 



KlENEB, Icon. coq. viv. p. 16. pi. 5. f. 13. 



Hab. New Zealand. 



Also transcribed and illustrated from M. Kiener's 'Icono- 



graphie', as a characteristic looking species with which I 



am not acquainted. 



Species 108. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Buccinum .^thiops. Buc. testd ovatd, spird breviusculd, 

 anfractibus superne late plano-depressis, regulariter cos- 

 tatis, costis grandihus convexis interstitiis latiuscnlis, 

 excavatis ; columelld et apertura fauce subcorrngatis 

 ant liratis ; albd, epidermide corned anthracind indutd. 



The blackamoor Buccinum. Shell ovate, spire rather 

 short, whorls broadly flatly depressed round the upper 

 part, regularly ribbed, ribs large, convex, interstices 

 rather broad, excavated; columella and interior of 

 the aperture somewhat wrinkled and ridged ; wliite, 

 covered with a coal-black horny epidermis. 



Hab. ? 



A remarkable species approximating in form and general 



character to the Purpura trochlea and its congeners.
