MUREX interruptus. 
TAB. CCCIV. 
Spec. Cuar. Subturrited; body covered by broad, 
transverse sulci ; the remaining whorls smooth 
with two sulci along their upper edges. 
Syx. Murex interruptus, Pilkington, in Trans. 
wanna Soc’ Vil. p. V7 t. U7. 9. 
S nett about twice as long as wide; abroad flat space 
runs along the smaller whorls, above it are two sharp 
furrows; the last whorl in full grown individuals is 
"quite covered with furrows, which are breader than in 
the other whorls, it is also convex, the right lip is 
plaited within, the left so thin that it receives the impres- 
sion of the sulci beneath it and so becomes striated ; the 
beak is elongated and slightly curved. 
One of the varieties of this shell was first published by 
Mr. Pilkington, who discovered it in a collection of 
Hampshire fossil shells made by 1. 'I. Swainson, Esq. ; 
others have since been noticed at Barton by Lady Bar- 
goyne, from whose choice cabinet the specimens fig. Lare 
taken; I have since received it from Miss Beminster, and 
an unknown Friend; in the specimens from these latter 
persons the band does not extend so far down the spire 
as in those collected by Lady Burgoyne, (see fig. 2.)
