been identifiecl by Tenison-Woods, undoubtedly belong to 

 L. nigrofuscus. Had I been aware of this before publication I 

 would have adopted Tenison-Woods' specific name. Now, the 

 question is whether under the circumstances it should have 

 preference. I think not, as the diagnosis, unaccompanied by a 

 figure, is inadequate to define the species ; the most important 

 character — the plicated columella— was overlooked, though the 

 apex is described as mammillated, a character of the highest 

 classifactory value in the Family Fusid^e. Had Woods correctly 

 interpreted the columella-characters, he would probably have 

 referred the species to Fasciolaria, in which case it might have 

 been recognised by his diagnosis.
