formed that it was identical with T. angidatus Reeve, I suppressed the 

 description. It proves to be quite different. 



Triton pdlchellus. Shell fusiform : reddish at the apex, pale 

 yellow, with spiral unequal bands of gray, of which there are two on 

 the whorls of the spire and two more on the last whorl ; with the 

 aperture more or less orange red : decussate with many small unequal 

 longitudinal and spiral ridges, with unequal nodulous intersections ; 

 varices five, last one very large : apex acute : spire with the outlines 

 nearly rectilinear between the varices : whorls eight, rather convex, 

 subangular at or a little above the middle, with a well impressed su- 

 ture : aperture subelliptical, somewhat acuminate at both extremities : 

 labrum grooved within «nder the last varix, denticulate on both sides 

 of the groove : labium transversely wrinkled : canal moderately bent 

 to the left and upwards. 



Mean divergence 45° ; length of spire .33 inch : total length .72 

 inch ; breadth .36 inch. 



This shell resembles a small and slender T. chrysostoma. 



MuREX iNTERMEDius. Shell elongated, ovate fusiform : whitish, 

 ■with dingy brown spots behind the varices, and a few dark brown 

 spiral lines within the aperture, and spots of the same on the labrum : 

 with six varices on each whorl; with imbricate spiral striae ; with 

 strongly crenulated spiral very prominent ridges, which are slightly 

 fringed in crossing the varices, and of which the upper two are ap- 

 proximate, and the next lower one is small : apex acute : spire with 

 moderately convex outlines : whorls eight, very angular above the 

 middle, and concave above the angle, with a deep suture ; last whorl 

 with a broad deep groove anteriorly, which is divided into pits by 

 the Varices : aperture obovate : canal rather short but white. 



Mean divergence 43°; length of spire .40 inch; total length .85 

 inch ; breadth .4 inch. 



This species is similar to 31. erosus Brod. and M. alveatus Kr. 



MuREx PAUPERCULUS. Shell elongated, obliquely subfusiform : 

 whitish, within the aperture yellowish : with three not very stout 

 varices on each whorl, and slender intermediary varicoid ridges ; with 

 a few distant spiral ridges, the intersections being nodulous : apex 

 subacute : spire with the outlines a little convex : whorls six, quite 

 convex, with a deep suture : aperture elliptical : canal short, rather 

 wide and recurved. 



Mean divergence 42^^ ; length of spire .33 inch ; total length .71 

 inch ; breadth .3 inch. 



Fusus NiTENS. Shell ovate fusiform : white, with a spiral series,
