Fusus TOMBIGBEENSIS, n. sp. PI. 5, fig. 7. 



Shell fusiform ; whorls nine, rounded ; spire high, apex composed of 

 three embryonic whorls first two smooth, the next longitudinally ribbed, 

 balance with about ten rounded ribs, somewhat alternating at the suture, 

 strongest on the center of each whorl ; whorls crossed by raised rounded 

 lines, alternate in size and nearly equidistant ; aperture oblong-ovate ; 

 outer lip crenate within ; canal short, straight, rather open. 



Locality. Woods' Bluff, Ala. ; lower bed. 



The type specimen has unfortunately lost its canal, but a, younger 

 specimen supplied the description. Younger specimens have the whorls 

 more carinated than in the figured type. 



Fusus RUGATUS, n. sp. PL 5, fig. 9. 



Shell fusiform, spire high, suture linear ; whorls carinated, concave and 

 smooth above, rounded below, the periphery of each whorl with numer- 

 ous tubercles, some of them reaching to a second revolving raised line 

 below ; the whorl next above the body whorl showing two tuberculated 

 lines below the carina ; body whorl showing four rows of spinous lines, 

 contracted rather abruptly below them ; canal covered with distant spiral 

 rows of sharp spines; aperture small, angulated posteriorly, terminating 

 in a long, narrow canal. 



Locality. Gregg's Landing, Ala. 



The type specimen is broken, but other specimens likewise broken 

 show a long, narrow canal spirally striated to the end. 



FASCIOLARIA JACKSONENSIS, Aldr. PL 2, fig. 12. 



Fasciolaria Jacksonensis, Aldr. J. C. S. N. H., July, 1885. 



Dr. O. Meyer considers this species identical with his Turbinella 

 humilior, American Journal of Science, June, 1885, which he now places 

 in the genus Latirus. Whether the remarks in his paper constitute a prior 

 description I leave for others to decide. 



FASCIOLARIA PERGRACILIS, n. sp. PL 5, fig. 18. 



Shell narrowly fusiform ; spire very slender ; suture impressed ; whorls 

 thirteen nucleus composed of three smooth ones, the following seven are 

 longitudinally ribbed, balance nearly smooth ; two equidistant revolving 

 grooves (the one nearest the suture the largest) border it throughout. 



Canal long, spirally striated ; outer lip smooth ; columella bearing 

 posteriorly three faint oblique plaits far within the aperture.
