Testa clavata, rimata, pallida, vel dilute fuscescens, periostraco fusco 
induta; inter tubercula nigro lineata; spira conica, eradata ; anfractus 
normales 5, supra declives, ~ leviter concavi, infra anculati, ad angulum 
tuberculati, superiores tres spiraliter fortiter striati, striis in ultimo 
fere ev anidis, ultimus cingulis latis transversis paulo elatis circiter

extremitatem subrecurvo ; apertura alba; labrum tenue, ad marginem 
denticulatum ; columella supra valde arcuata, callo albo infra partim 
libero, superne incrassato, induta. Long. 70, diam. 85 mm.; 
apertura sine canale 27 mm. longa, 14 lata. 
Hab.—Off Durban (Quekett) ; Port Elizabeth (Sowerby). 
The type of this species which is in the Museum collection is 
a young half-grown shell in poor condition, and the figure of it 
conveys but a slight idea of the adult shell. A curious feature is the 
columellar callus. being detached from the whorl at the lower part, 
forming an umbilical rimation. A similar detaching of the callus also 
occurs in the following species, Fusus Adamsti of Kobelt. The position 
of the present species is uncertain, the animal being unknown, but the 
prolonged canal seems to recall the genus usus. 
Another specimen of F. Africanus received recently is 78 mm. in 
length, and has the protoconch preserved. This consists of two smooth 
globose whorls forming a papillose apex.

Fusus ventricosus, H. Adams: Proc. Zool. Soc., 1870, p. 110, woodcut. 
Fusus Adamsii, Kobelt: Conch. Cab., p. 152, pl. xlvii, fig. 3 
Hab.—The Agulhas Bank, Cape of Good Hope (Adams). 
The name ventricosus, having already been employed in the genus, 
was changed by Kobelt to Adamsz.

Fasciolaria Heynemanni, Dunker: Sowerby, Marine Shells 8. Afr., 
p. 17. 
Two very interesting specimens from deep water off Durban have 
been sent by Mr. Quekett. They are much smaller and more slender 
than the type figured by Dunker,' and exhibit only the faintest traces 
of the transverse ridges upon the body-whorl. Consequently they 
have a much smoother general appearance. Their protoconch also is 
smaller. The Fuasciolaria purpurea of Jonas is not, as stated by 
Sowerby, the same as the present species. Its distinguishing features 
have alre ‘ady been Beanies out by uate 5
