58 MOLLUSCA FROM THE CRAG. 



the striae being carried over the ri])s ; this character is not represented in Brown's 

 figure. The sinus in my specimens is at the suture, but not very distinct, and there 

 is a shght depression on the upper part of the vi^horl. It dififers from CI. perpulchra in 

 being shorter, in having the vohitions more tumid, and in its coarser and more numerous 

 strise. It is a much less elegant shell. 



4. Clavatula perpulchra. S. Wood. Tab. VII, fig. 4, 4 a. 



CI. Testa mirmtd, fmiformi, turriculd ; spird elevatd ; anfradibus convexis ; longitudi- 

 naliter costatis, transversim striatis ; siriis 10 — 11 acutis, elevatis ; labro extusincrassato, 

 intus Imvi ; canali brevi ; sinu apud suturam profunda. 



Shell small, turriculate, and fusiform ; with an elevated spire and convex volutions ; 

 longitudinally costated ; costse 11 — 12 in the last volution ; transversely striated ; striae 

 sharp and elevated ; outer lip curved, and thickened on the outside, with a large and 

 deep sinus at the suture ; canal short, and very open. 



Axis, \ of an inch. 



Locality. Cor. Crag, Sutton. 



This species much resembles in form and size CI. linearis, but that shell has fewer 

 striae, and the ribs are narrower ; in this the ribs are broad, touching each other at the 

 base, leaving no space between them ; whereas, in CI. linearis, they stand apart, and 

 the transverse striae or ridges are fewer and sharper, with the outer lip less curved, 

 more contracted at the lower part, and having the sinus not quite so deep as in this 

 species. 



Imperfect specimens of this shell are by no means rare at the above locality. It 

 was considered in my Catalogue only as a variety of CI. linearis, but, for the above 

 reasons, they are now separated.

Shell turriculate, tapering, subfusiform, with 6 — 7 slightly convex volutions ; 

 longitudinally costated ; costae seven, obhque, elevated, and obtuse, transversely

 sinus ; and marginated on the outside behind the lip.
