Genus PUSIONELLA, Gray, 1847. 



P. VALIDA, Bunker. PI. 31, figs. 9, 10. 



Shell smooth, ponderous, whorls 11-12, flatly rounded, with

 base of the body-whorl ; light yellowish brown. 



Length, 3 inches.

P. ACULEIFORMIS, Lam. PL 31 > figs. 2, 3. 



Shell elongated, spire^whorls more or less plicately ribbed, 

 sometimes only the upper ones ; body-whorl smooth except at 

 the base, where there are revolving grooves ; very light grayish 

 yellow, or yellowish brown, or chestnut. Length, 1*75 inches. 



W. Africa. 



P. Catelini, Petit (fig. 3), is a shouldered variety; many of the 

 specimens exhibit some shoulder on the whorls. 



P. VULPINA, Born. PL 31, figs. 4-6. 



Shell stouter than the preceding species, no longitudinal ribs, 

 upper part of the whorls with two or three engraved revolving
