  Most 
  of 
  the 
  transverse 
  ridges 
  are 
  simple 
  ridges 
  only, 
  over 
  

   which 
  the 
  spiral 
  lines 
  are 
  continued 
  without 
  interruption. 
  Occa- 
  

   sionally 
  some 
  one 
  ridge 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  true 
  varix. 
  The 
  species 
  

   has 
  been 
  regarded 
  as 
  intermediate 
  between 
  Turhinella 
  and 
  

   Murex. 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  nearer 
  to 
  the 
  former 
  than 
  to 
  the 
  latter 
  

   genus.
