MOREX. 47 



oblique subcurvo. — When young the varices are more open 

 and angular. 



216. inornatus, f. 234, Recluz. — Testa ovata, albido-fus- 

 cescens, castaneo pallide trifasciata, planata ; varieibus senis 

 ad septenis, contabulatis, subflexuosis, irregularibus ; aper- 

 tura ovata, pallide violacea, margine intus denticulato ; 

 canali brevi, clauso ; spira brevi, anfractibus superioribus. — 

 I have not seen this shell, which appears from the figure to be 

 of very irregular growth. 



217. acanthophorus, f. 151, A. Adams. — Testa trigona 

 quinque-varicosa griseo-subviridis, spiraliter lirata, varieibus 

 crassis, fronte sublaciniatis, superne acute angulatis, spira 

 acuta anfractibus angulatis, versus suturam subexcavatis, 

 apertura trigona, margine externo crenato, canali attenuato, 

 torto. — The name endermonensis, has been applied to some 

 small and undeveloped specimens. 



Sect. X. Varices indistinct, canals fistulose. 



218. foveolatus, f. 253, Hinds. — Testa elongato-fusiformis 

 fusca, intus fasciata, crassa, spiraliter lirata, inter liras minute 

 foveolatis ; costis subvariciformibus octonis ; prominentibus, 

 superne acute angulatis ; spira acuminata, canali elongato, 

 attenuato, recurvo ; apertura subpyriformi, labio externo intus 

 incrassato. — A very singularly formed shell which might 

 with almost equal propriety be placed here or in the genus 

 Fusus. 



219. fusiformis, f. 207, A. Adams. — Testa elongato-fusi- 

 formis, superne inferneque pyramidata, fusca ; anfractibus 

 octonis subnoduliferis, interstitiis valide spiraliter liratis ; 

 apertura pyriformi, labio externo laqueato, intus incrassato, 

 denticulato ; canale producto, feri clauso. 



220. Edwardsi, f. 252, Merike. — Testa breviuscula, spira- 

 liter subacute costata, griseo-fulva, varieibus paucis, irregu- 

 laribus, subexpansis, tuberculis intermediis angulatis magnis, 

 apertura ovata, subpurpurea, labio externo intus quinque 

 dentato ; canali brevi subrecurvo, spira acuminata anfractibus 

 angulatis. — This is the typical species of an uncertain group, 

 in which the true varices, occurring at irregular intervals, are 

 not very distinct from the interstitial tubercles, but the 

 canal is strictly closed.
