MUREX SHILOHENSIS var. BURNSI n. var. 
Plate XVII, fig. 2. 
Shell resembling Murex Shilohensis Heilp. in the principal features, but 
is shorter and broader proportionally, with a broader, flatter shoulder, and 
having but six varices on the whorl instead of eight, as in that one. The 
upper volutions appear to have been not only shorter but much more angu- 
lar, and the body-whorl less rounded, the canal shorter, and the columella 
more angular and tortuous. The varices, besides being more distant though 
less in number, are narrower and more abruptly elevated on the sides, 
while the spines at their upper end retain the forms and features of those of 
that one. The revolving or spiral ridges are the same in number, namely 
four, exclusive of that on the upper angle, and the entire surface, ridges, and 
intermediate spaces is marked by finer spiral lines. At the base of the 
volution, or properly on the beak, there is a proportionally long, sharply 
recurved spine on each varix, a little above the lower end, which does not 
appear on the type of M. Shilohensis. Considering these differences I do 
not feel satisfied of its specific identity with that one. 
Locality: The specimen, imperfect at the apex, is in collection from 
Jericho, N. J., made for the National Museum by Mr. Frank Burns.
