30 SMITH : MARINE SHELLS FROM PORT ALFRED. 



Fusus eingulatus, n. sp. 



PI. ii, fig. II. 

 Testa breviter fusiformis, rimata, aurantia, ad angulum anfractuum albo cincta; 

 anfractus 6, duo superiores globosi, laeves, caeteri supra oblique declives, in 

 medio angulati et serie nodulorum instructi, tenuiter spiraliter lirati ; ultimus 

 lira conspicua paulo infra medium cinctus, antice in rostrum brevem pro- 

 ductus ; apertuia supra irregulariter ovata, antice in canalem obliquum 

 brevem producta ; labrum simplex, tenue ; columella arcuata, laevis, callo 

 tenui albo induta. 



Longit. 28 millim., diam. 14; ai)ertura cum canali 14 millim. longa, 

 5.5 lata. 



Recognisable by its style of colouration and the infraperipheral con- 

 spicuous lira. The nodules at the angle of the whorls gradually increase 

 in size with the growth of the shell. There are about nine on the body-whorl. 

 Terebpa suspensa, n. sp. 

 PI. ii, fig. 12. 

 IVrchra ppiin!<a, Sowerby (nee Born): Marine Shells S. Afr., j). 24. 



Testa parva, elongata, alba, pallide fusco maculata, ad apicem fuscescens; 

 anfractus 12, duo superiores (protoconcha) laeves, dilute fusci, rotundati, 

 mammaeformes, caeteri lente accrescentes, leviter convexi, paulo infra suturam 

 subconstricti, costis longitudinalibus numerosis tenuibus arcuatis instructi, 

 inter costas spiraliter punctati, ultimus ad peripheriam rotundatus, circa basim 

 zona fusca cinctus ; apertura parva ; columella alba, brevis, rectiuscula, 

 antice obliqua ; canalis brevissimus, obliquus. 



Longit. 20 millim., diam. 4.5 ; apertura 4 millim. longa, 2 lata. 



Hah. — Port Elizabeth (Sow^b.). 



This species differs from T. ]>ertu>ia of Born in its much smaller size, 

 finer and more numerous spiral scries of punctures, rather shorter whorls, and 

 in colour. The dark infrasutural band, so characteristic of T. j'ertuxa, is 

 wanting in the present species. The upper part of the whorls in Born's 

 species is smooth between the riblets and is marked off by a conspicuous 

 row of punctures, whereas in T. suft^^en-^d it is punctate between the costae, 

 and less clearly defined. 



Columbelia (?) pypamidalis, Sowerby.

Hah.—Fon Elizabeth (Sowb.). 



Variable in colouration, sometimes being white, streaked with brown at 

 intervals, and generally with an interrupted narrow opaque white line at the 

 periphery, sometimes bordered above with a brown line which ascends the 

 spire above the sutural line. Some specimens are pale brown, streaked or 

 mottled with white, and dotted with brown at the pale periphery and upon 

 the slight infrasuturiil margination. The lower part of the body-whorl in some 

 of these specimens is whitish. The species has a Terebra-like appearance.
