COLUMBARIUM. 175 



Var. PAPALIS, Reeve. Figs. 2, 2 a. 



Shoulder somewhat flatter, nodules more distinct, as are_the 

 longitudinal lines or folds, the revolving sculpture scarcely de- 

 cussating them and sometimes obsolete ; sometimes indistinctly 



banded. L. 47, diam. 16 mill. 



W. Africa. 



This is merely a more rugged larger growth of G. Mitree- 

 formis, and its best claim to a separate name is that it has borne 

 one for forty years. 



G. LUHDORFI, Lischke. PL 7, fig. 100. 



Shell yellowish brown ; shoulder concavely flattened, with a 

 crenulated margin next the suture, and a tuberculate periphery ; 

 surface with spiral, white, distant sulci, and incremental striae ; 



aperture white. L. 71, diam. 26 mill. 



Japan. 



The white revolving sulci on the brownish surface are very 

 distinctive in this species. 



G. MITRELLA, Dall. Yucatan Strait, 640 fms. 



G. DIDIMA, Watson. St. Thomas, W. L, 450 fms. 



G. ENGONIA, Watson. Off Inosima, Japan. 



G. ATRACTOIDES, Watson. Philippines. 



The above are all unfigured species, described as Genotiae. 



Genus COLUMBARITJM^v'on Martens. 1 % $ 



Shell fusiform, with the short body-whorl, and long, straight, 

 narrow, nearly closed canal of the typical Fusus ; no sinus, 

 except a very slight curve of the margin of the shoulder. Teeth 

 toxoglossate. 



I feel pretty well satisfied, notwithstanding Schacko's discovery 

 of toxoglossate dentition in this group, that I was correct in 

 placing the typical species in Fusus ; nevertheless I introduce it 

 again here, partly in order to dispose of a form described by von 

 Martens and which was published since the issue of the third 

 volume of the " Manual."
