62 TROPHON. 



laavis albida, medio anfractuum fascia fulva cincta ; spira 

 aperturam loDgitudine fere sequanti, anfractibus angu- 

 latis, prope suturam planatis, ultimo latiusculo, varicibus 

 laminatis, extantibus, distantibus, ad angulum anfractuum 

 rectangulis, apertura superne angulata ; canali brevi, recto. 

 —This shell, Fusus cl. of Keeve, seems to be formed upon the 

 same plan as the most characteristic of the Trophons. The 

 varices are very distant and very broadly angular. It is a 

 thicker and broader shell than T. clavattis, Sars. 



12. Gtoodekichii, f. 25, 26, Forbes. — Testa alba tenuis 

 lsevis clavato-turbinata ; spira producta scalariformi, an- 

 fractibus angulatis, varicibus laminatis, ad angulum an- 



ractuum spinosis munitis, ultimo breviter ventricoso ; 

 apertura superne ampla, canali elongato attenuato tortuo. 

 — A curiously clavate species, corresponding with the 

 Haustellum group of Murices. The laminated varices are 

 formed into vaulted species at the angle of the whorls. Canal 

 long and tortuous. 



13. vaginatus, f. 31, Philippi. — Testa fulva, lsevis, sub- 

 clavata, spira producta, acuminata, anfractibus acutangulatis, 

 scalarifbrmibus ; laminis depressis paucis, ad angulum in 

 spinis latis subplanatis productis ultimo subventricoso, aper- 

 tura trigona, canali recto, subelongato. — The few laminated 

 varices of this clavate form are expanded at the angle of the 

 whorls into broad, angular flattened spines. 



14. clavatus, f. 47, Sars. — Testa angulato-fusiformis, 

 tenuis, laevis ; spira elevata, scalariformis ; anfractibus sub- 

 acutangulatis, varicibus laminatis, ad angulum anfractuum 

 acute spinosis ; apertura trigona, canali recto subelongato. — 

 Although slightly clavate, this species is not so much so as 

 T. vaginatum ; its laminated varices are straight, and 

 pointed at the angle. The figures in Sars slightly resemble 



hat of Philippi's multilamellosus, which is a fossil. 



15. Walbeegi, f. 54, Krauss. — Testa ovata solida, rubes- 

 cens ; spira producta ; anfractibus scalariformibus, superne 

 depressis, angulatis, varicosis, varicibus subdistanter lamellatis, 

 supra angulum anfractuum erectis alatis acutis coronatis, 

 ultimo ad angulum subcoronato, infra spiraliter crebre 

 sulcato, varicibus laminatis subevanidis; apertura subovata,
