This appears to be a good species, having no near ally. Conns 

 consanguineus, Smith, has a similar fulvous band, but differs in form, 

 being broader at the shoulder and consequently more narrowed 

 anteriorly. The periostracum also is thicker than in the present 

 species.

This species is identical in every respect with Murex UattonicB^ 

 Wright,^ from New Caledonia. The latter is regarded by Tryon^ as 

 a "mere colour variation" of M. adusUis, whereas M. Fenchinati is 

 allowed to stand as a distinct species. Having the advantage of com- 

 paring the ty^)e of the latter with specimens of the New Caledonian 

 foiTU, I have no hesitation in pronouncing them identical in every 

 particular.

Notwithstanding the slight differences pointed out by Lisehke 

 between this species and Murex emarginatus, Sowerby, 1840, 1 quite 

 agree with Sowerby in uniting them. M. unicornis and M. monoceros, 

 Avith which M. Crosse compares his species, belong to a difterent group, 

 with which is also associated M. Nuttallii, Conrad, considered by 

 Tryon practically the same as M. Fournieri.

As pointed out by Tryon,^ this so-called species is merely a variety 

 of the well-known Sisfrutn hgstrix, Lamk.^ ; indeed, beyond the fact of 

 the spire being a little more elevated than usual, it does not differ 

 from ordiuiiry examples. It is ({uite distinct from the shell figured by 

 Keeve^ (a form of Sisfrum clathratum), which M. Crosse supposed was 

 the same as his Reeveana.
