The denticules of the inner lip are more elevated than those of the 
last (T. ranelliformis), and are equidistant. It was fished up with the 
anchor in Valparaiso Bay.

Approaching Fusus in its elongated and entire canal, while its exterior 
lip has the labial tooth which distinguishes Monoceros. The columella 
is not straight, as in all the other species, but curved, so as to make an 
angle in some specimens at the commencement of the canal, and in all 
it becomes very broad at the point where it is opposite to the tooth. The 
shell is of a reddish colour, ventricose, and girt with elevated lines, 
about a quarter of an inch apart. The spire has only two of these lines 
on each whorl, and has a bicarinated appearance. The aperture is wide, 
the outer lip sinuous, its tooth short, broad, and obtuse, and the opercu- 
lum horny. The shell is seldom found in a perfect state, the beak being 
generally broken off, and the surface is, in all the specimens that I have 
seen, covered with a calcareous encrustation, entirely concealing the 
colours. 
62. BucciINUM MURICIFORME., 
B. testd ovato-fusiformi, cinered ; anfractibus tuwmidis, costellatis, 
costels cancellatis ; aperturd castaneo-nigricante ; lubri margine

The eggs of this species were found, and are preserved in spirits.
