FUSUS. 83 



been described as F. ventrlcosus, a name preoccupied for 

 another species of Fusus. 



74. ocelliferus, f. 64, Bory. — Testa rhomboidea fulva, 

 planulatim lirata, fusco strigata ; spira elevata, acuminata, 

 anfractibus 8 elatis, superne angulatis ; ad angulum verru- 

 cosis, inter verrucas castaneo maculatis, ultimo infra angulum 

 subrotundo, apertura rhomboidea canali brevi. — The figures 

 referred to in the Encyclopedia and Martini certainly repre- 

 sent the species named as above by Bory. But it seems 

 probable that Lamarck had before him the nearly allied, and 

 not the same, species, in describing his F. verruculatus. 



Note. — F. crenulatus should come in here, but is trans- 

 posed to No. 87. 



75. cinnamonetis, f. 65, Reeve. — Testa ocelliferoe et F. 

 vcnuculoso similis, sed ad angulum vix tuberoso, concolor. 

 — Presuming the two preceding species to be really distinct, 

 the present approaches more nearly to the former, but the 

 tubercles or warts are extremely obscure. 



76. Hanleti, f. 145, E. Smith. — Testa quam F. craticu- 

 latus angustior, spira magis producta, liris latioribus, margine 

 apertura? intus dentato. — Similar to but narrower than F. 

 craticulatv.s, with more produced but rather less angular 

 whorls and broader lira?. 



77. craticulatus, f. 69, Blainville. — Testa breviter tra- 

 pezoidea, griseo-fusca, spiraliter costata, longitudinaliter 

 plicata ; spira acuminata, anfractibus 7 brevibus, latis, angu- 

 latis, ad angulum tuberculatis, ultimo magno, canali brevi 

 truncate — The whorls are very angular and the canal straight 

 and truncated. 



78. corneus, f. 80, 81, Linna-us. — Testa solida, laevigata, 

 oblonga, grisea vel lactea varie reticulatim et fasciatim picta, 

 spira producta, anfractibus rectiusculis versus suturam exca- 

 vatis, ad suturam planulatis ; apertura subquadrata, intus 

 striata, postice canaliculata ; canali antico brevi, lato, trun- 

 cato, retrorsim elevato. — The above name, through a mistake 

 in one of the references, has been applied by authors to the 

 British F. islandieus. The Linna?an name, Murex liyitorui*. 

 belongs to Fasciolaria tarentina of Lamarck. 



79. RAPULtor, f. 134, Reeve. — Testa ovato-subcylindrica, 

 albida, laevi ; spira conica, anfractibus subrotundis, ultimo 

 superne tumido, medio cylindrico infra subangulato; apertura,
