74 SOWERBY : NEW SPECIES OF MARINE SHELLS. 



Purpura eudeli, n.sp. 

 PI. V, tig. 3. 



Testa ovata, depiebsiuticula, rugosissima, lusccscous ; spira brevis ; 

 anfractus 3| rapide accrescenti, prirai 1|- minuti laeves, penultimus 

 convexus, liris 4 spiralibus multituberculatis instructus ; sutura concava 

 excavata ; anfractus ultiinus magnus, longitudina liter rugose lamellosus 

 transversim octo-costatus, nodulis numerosis elevatis rugosis oblique 

 inclinatis ad marginem concavo productis munitus ; apertura ampla, 

 iutus coeruleo-cineracea, fusco fasciata, ad marginem nigro-fusco limbata ; 

 columella concava depressa, glabra, luteola, macula fusca clliptica superne 

 picta. 



Long. 30, diam. 21 millim. 



Hah. — Goree, West Africa (Eudel). 



Several specimens of this remarkable Purpura in the collection 

 of the late Captain Eudel were labelled P. grayi, Kiener, to which it 

 bears some slight external resemblance, but that is a Monoceros and was 

 previously described by Dr. Gray under the name of M. grande. P. eudeli 

 has more affinity with P. patula, Linn., but having compared it with many 

 specimens of that species in various stages of growth I am convinced that 

 it is perfectly distinct. 



LatlFus singularis, n.sp. 

 PI. V, fig. 10. 



Testa elongato-fusiformis, fusca, solidula ; spira elato-pyramidata ; 

 anfractus 6, convex!, spiraliter lirati, longitudinaUter striato-laminati, 

 primi 2 laeves, sequentes 3 longitudinaliter jjlicato-costati, penultimus 

 angulatus, supra angulum leviter concavus, infra convexiusculus ; sutura 

 angustissime canaliculata ; anfractus ultimus | longitudinis testse 

 superans, angulata, supra angulum concavo depressa, infra leviter con- 

 vexus, infra medium concavo attenuatus, ad basim late rostratus ; 

 umbilicus fere claudens ; apertura oblonga, intus pallide lutescens, glabra ; 

 peristoma acutum, postice angulatum; columella leviter arcuata, laevis, infra 

 medium obtusissime angulata, haud plicata ; canalis latiusculus. 



Long. 70, diam. 27 millim. 



I am not acquainted with any species of Latirus at all resembling 

 this. It appears to form a link between Latirus and Hcmijusus, and 

 may possibly find its place in the latter genus, although its form is more 

 like that prevailing in the former. 



Voluta dohpni, n.sp.
