48 MOLLUSCA FROM THE CRAG. 



lip by the reflected portions of the canal, like Buc. undatum ; there were evidently lon- 

 gitudinal costse upon the shell, vestiges of which are remaining upon some specimens 

 on the upper volutions ; and traces of transverse striae may occasionally be seen, but 

 the shells are nearly smooth. It appears to be intermediate in form between Strombus 

 Norvegicm, Chemn.,and Hue. fusiforme, Brod. (Zool. Jour., 1829, t. 3, f. 3), and it may 

 be said somewhat to resemble F. Koninckii, Nyst (pi. 40, f. 4), but that shell has a 

 smaller and narrower canal, and a more acuminated apex. Should this species hereafter 

 prove to be the same as Woodward's shell, my name must of course be given up.

Mam. Crag, Bridlington. Recent, North Seas and Massachusetts Bay. 



This species is not very abundant in the Red Crag. It appears to correspond 

 precisely with the shell brought from the North Seas, and it is identical with that 

 found in the beds of the Clyde. The young of this species appears to difi'er from 

 Murex Bamjius, Mont., in having a less number of reflected costse, as well as in its 

 projecting processes. I have not seen the form of the true Bamfius, from the Crag. 

 M. Loven has united the two species in his Synopsis, under the name of clathratum 

 (Murex clafhratus, Linn.). Our specimens from the Crag have been more or less 

 rubbed, so that the transverse striae, if they ever possessed them, are no longer visible. 

 Among Mr. Bean's specimens from Bridlington, there is one with the name of Bamfius 

 attached to it, but it appears to me to be only the young of this species. 



The shell named Fusus sealariformis, figured by Nyst (pi. 40, fig. 5), is a different 

 species.
