90 FUSUS. 



nils, unless it be for the convexity of the shoulder of the 

 whorls, the waved tubercles on and above the angle and the 

 striation of the aperture. 



113. mniatus, f. 119, Sowerby. — Testa oblongo-fusi- 

 formis, fumoso-fusca, crassa, spiraliter leviter sulcata ; spira 

 producta, pyramidata, anfractibus 6 elevatis, obtuse angulatis, 

 penultimo et ultimo ad angulum subacute tuberculatis, supra 

 angulum subplanulatis, fasciis fuscis insequalibus spiraliter 

 cinctis ; apertura angulatim subpyriformi, intus fulvo pur- 

 purea, fusco fasciata ; canali breviusculo, lato, subacuminato. 

 — More gracefully fusiform than arthyriticus and satumus, 

 of a dull smoky brown colour and unequally banded with 

 brown lines and stripes. The inner part of the aperture is of 

 a fine puce colour banded with brown. 



114. harpa, f. 129, Menke. — Testa ovata, tenui, ventri- 

 cosa fulva, spiraliter undulatim lirata, oblique arcuatim 

 longitudinaliter plicata ; spira brevissima, anfractibus 4, 

 ultimo magno, ventricoso. — More regularly oval than F. 

 deformis, and strongly ridged over undulating plaits. In the 

 absence of the operculum, it is difficult to decide whether this 

 species is a Buccinum or a Fusus. The sculpture of the 

 upper part is like that of Buccinum undatum. 



115. deformis, f. 127, Reeve. — Testa sinistrals ovata, 

 ferrugineo-fusca, ventricosa, tenuiter spiraliter striata ; spira 

 brevissima, papillari ; anfractibus 4, superne declivibus, 

 uudatim tuberculatis, inter tuberculos concavis ; apertura 

 semilunari ; columella alba. — Of an obtirse subovate form, 

 the last whorl occupying the bulk of the shell ; the apex is 

 broadly papillary and the tops of the last whorls are distantly 

 and broadly tuberculated, with depressions between ths 

 tubercles. The columella is white. 



116. castanea, f. 128, Morch. — Testa subovata, fusca, 

 laevigata ; spira brevi, anfractibus 5, supeme declivibus, 

 ultimo magno, angustiusculo, superne subangulato, infra 

 ventricoso ; apertura magna, margine subexpanso, canali 

 brevissimo, lato, truncato. — In this species, as in the preced- 

 ing, the body whorl is the bulk of the shell. The whorls of 

 the spire are sloped, the last obtusely angular, and a little 

 convex below the angle. The outer lip is slightly expanded. 

 May not Neptunea lurida be a variety of this ?
