yarioibus frondosis, frondibus brevibus dentato-foliaceis ; spira 

 acuminata, producta, anfractibus subanguliferis, apertiira 

 subrotunda, margine externo dentato. — A pinky shell more 

 fusiform than M. rufus, &c, but like them having- the fronds 

 open and palmated. 



85. tbrritus, f. 77, Reeve. — Testa fulva, breviter trigono- 

 fusiformis, spiraliter confertim et angulatim lirata, inter 

 varices unituberculata ; varicibus dorso angulatim costato, 

 froute laminatim fimbriatis, margine angulatim frondosis, 

 frondibus connexis, insequalibus, rectis. — Cleverly named, for 

 the shell looks startling and startled. 



86. pudouicolor, f. 79, Reeve..- — Testa breviter fusiformis, 

 rosea, spiraliter prominente lirata, liris inter varices bituber- 

 culatis ; varicibus medio tuberculatis, ad angulum superiorem, 

 infra medium et ad canalem frondibus quinis palmatis ornata ; 

 spira acuminata, anfractibus angulatis ; apertura ovata, mar- 

 gine externo intus denticulato. — Having many characters in 

 common with 31. corrugatus, from which it is, however, 

 distinct, this beautiful little shell might pass for a coloured 

 miniature of that species. 



87. salleanus, f. 73, A. Ad. — Testa cinereo-fulva, fusco 

 strigata, ovato-fusiformis, spiraliter crasse et prominente 

 lirata, inter varices plicatim unituberculata ; varicibus mag- 

 nis, costatis, ultimo supra infraque, et ad canalem frondosis, 

 frondibus dentato-fimbriatis. — -Having more thickened varices, 

 fewer fronds and only one large tubercle between the varices, 

 this species hasnot the corrugated appearance of M.corrugatus. 



88. TnoMA.si,f. 84, Crosse. — Testa crassa, breviter angulatim 

 subfusiformis, fusca, rubescens, spiraliter lirata et interstriata ; 

 inter varices late unituberculata ; varicibus tribus crassis, 

 costatis, infra raro et breviter frondosis ; apertura intus 

 versus marginem externum lirato-dentata. — Mr. Crosse has 

 described this shell as having six varices, but on minute 

 examination and comparison with shells of a similar form, I 

 am persuaded that it is really trivaricose. The alternating 

 varix is only the interval swelled into a broad tubercle. I 

 have altered the figure theoretically in copying to show my 

 meaning. 



89. corrugatus, f. 72, Sowerby. — Testa pallide citrina vel 

 rufo-fuscescens, ovato fusiformis spiraliter crassilirata, inter 

 varices plicatim bituberculata ; varicibus nodosis, frond-
