lines, suture overlapping, aperture narrow, columella arcliecl, 

 twisted and recurved at the base, outer lip sharp. 



A very simple shell with smooth whorls. The specimen in the 

 museum has mottled brown spots at the suture, which seem 

 very much like the traces of former coloring. There is no 

 described species at all like it. 



Typhis M'CoYi,n.s.,T. testa ovato-ohlon(/a,fusiformi-l<xvirjata, 

 quadrifariavi varicosa ; varicibus spinosis {ult. anf. spin. 5) ; 

 anfractibus convexiusculis, tuhiferis ; ultimo anfracto canali 

 lonffo, angusto, arcuato,clauso,terminato ; apertura ovata,integra ; 

 lahro incrassato, varicibus 2 et S canali recurvo terminatis. Long 

 38 mill. Lat. 22. Anfr. 7. 



T. shell ovately oblong, fusiform, smooth, with four spinose 

 varices in each whorl (5 spines on each of the varices of the 

 last whorl) whorls convex, tubiferous, last whorl terminating 

 in a long narrow recurved closed canal, mouth ovate entire, 

 with a thickened lip, second and third varices uniting into a 

 recurved canal. 



This fossil is somewhat near the Miirex tubifer Brug. of the 

 European eocene at least as far as Nyst's figures and descrip- 

 tions guide. Brugicre says (Encycl. Method.) that the species 

 is living in Ceylon, but no such shell is figured in Reeve or 

 Sowerby. The nearest congener in Southern deposits is the 

 T. Zealandica, Hutton, of the Wanganui Pliocene, but it is very 

 distinct.

E. shell twisted, fusiform ; whorls finely spirally sulcate and 

 striate, whorls seven, with a row of sub-distant somewhat 

 sharp tubercles on the outer sloping margin, which is there 

 angulated ; tubercles 13 in body whorl, aj^erture elongately 

 pyriform, columella twisted, canal recurved. I have named this 

 species which is very distinct, after Mr. Thos. Eoblin, the in- 

 dustrious curator of the Society's Museum, whose ready and 

 prompt assistance has been of the greatest service to scientific 

 investigators.
