320 TYPHIS. 



canali brevi, truncato; tubis breviusculis. — Subfusiform, varices 

 pointed and arched above, expanded and crenulated in the middle, 

 suddenly narrowed below, and then expanded into a sort of wing. 



5. Belcheri, Brod., (f. 8, 9). — Fusiformis, anfractibus ro- 

 tundis, canali elongato, oblique sursum acclivi ; varicibus angus- 

 tibus,laqueatis, infra pinnatis, suprst uniplicatis, arcuatim expansis, 

 termine valde incurvis, acurainatis ; tubis recurvis ; spira elevata. 

 — The termination of the varices at the upper end forms a strongly 

 curved hook which commences on the whorl by a reflected flat- 

 tened fold ; the canal is long and gently sloped backwards. 



6. Cleryi, Petit, (f. 14). — Pusiformis, canali elongato, angu- 

 latim recurvo ; anfractibus rotuudis, spiraliter rubro fasciatis, 

 varicibus digitatis, digitis quatuor, uncinatis. — Whorls rounded, 

 banded, varices digitated ; digitations hooked ; canal long, angu- 

 larly recurved. 



7. Montfortii, A. Ad., (f. IS, 19). — Subfuscus, fusiformis, 

 canali obliquo, longiusculo ; spira elevata, varicibus expansis, 

 supra termine incurvis acuminatis, medio angulatim laqueatis, ad 

 canaletn semipiunatis ; tubis elongatis. — Varices hooked at the 

 end, angularly fluted in the middle, half-pinnated on the canal. 



8. coeonatus, Brod., (f. 6, 7). — Oblongus, pallidus; canali 

 latissimo cylindraceo, oblongo, truncato ; varicibus crassis decum- 

 bentibus, spiraliter rugatis, termine uncinatis ; tubis brevissimis. 

 — Of a more oval form than most of the other species, with a 

 very wide, cylindrical canal, thick varices, and short tubes. The 

 unique specimen in the Cumingian collection being young, the 

 canal is unclosed. 



9. pinnatus, Brod., (f. 15, 16). — Ovalis, albidus, cancellatus; 

 canali brevi; varicibus expansis, fimbriatis. — Oval, whitish, can- 

 cellated ; canal short, varices expanded, fringed. 



10. Cumingii, Brod., (f. 17). — Claviformis, griseus, castanco 

 maculatus, canali longissimo angusto, recto ; varicibus noduliferis, 

 termine unidigitatis, erectis; tubis brevibus; anfractibus inter 

 varices unicostatis. — Shaped like Murex haustellum, with very 

 long straight canal. 



11. arcoatds, Hinds, (f. 3, 4, 5). — Brevis, ovalis, tubis re- 

 curvis, cum varicibus junctis, varices arcuatos duplicatos tubiferos 

 formantibus. — Each tube is bent back into the preceding varix, 

 so as to form with it a double arched varix ending in a tube. 



Note. — The shell named Typhis Angassii, of Crosse, is not a 

 Typhis, having no tube penetrating to the interior.
