below and finely striated ; aperture oblong-ovate ; outer lip smooth within ; 

 columella strongly excavated, canal wide and curved. 



Locality. Bell's Landing, Ala. 



This species may only be a strongly marked variety of B. inauratus, 

 Con., mentioned above, but the younger specimen (12 a) from Gregg's 

 Landing differs from Conrad's species in having finely revolving lines 

 over its whole surface, whorls convex, closely appressed at the suture, 

 while the other has the whorls concave, the lines obsolete on the central 

 part of body whorl, is shouldered at the suture, which is in a groove, and 

 generally has the first four whorls of the spire with a row of revolving 

 nodes above the suture. 



NEPTUNEA ENTEROGRAMMA, Gabb. PL 3, fig. 5. 



Neptunea enter ogr ammo,, Gabb. J. A. N. S., Phila. Vol. IV., 2d 

 ser., 1860, p. 378, pi. 67, fig. 14. 



This species described from Texas is not uncommon at Lisbon. Gabb's 

 type was a young shell. The two forms are connected by a series in my 



NEPTUNEA CONSTRICT A, n. sp. PL 5, fig. 13. 



Shell broadly fusiform, whorls eight, spire high ; suture distinct, whorls 

 concave and compressed just below the suture ; covered at this point with 

 fine transverse lines, remaining space smooth. Body whorl large, smooth 

 below the above-mentioned sutural area, narrowed below into a short, 

 stout canal which is marked by fine revolving lines. Aperture about two- 

 thirds the length of shell; outer lip sharp, thickened and crenulate 

 within ; inner lip concave above, straight below ; callus not heavy. 



Locality. Matthews' Landing, Ala. 



This species differs from the previous one mentioned, by its compressed 

 space below the suture and absence of a sutural groove. 



FULGUR TRISERIALIS, Whitf. PL 1, fig. 23 b. 



Pyrula Smithii, Sowb. Aldr. in J. C. S. N. H., July, 1885. 



Fulgur triserialis, Whitf. Am. Jour. Conch., 1865, vol. I., p. 260. 



On first finding this shell it was supposed to be Pyrula Smithii, Sowb., 

 but a comparison since made leads me to consider it distinct. On sub- 

 mitting specimens to Prof. Chas. E. Beecher, at Albany, N. Y. , he pro- 

 nounced them identical with the type now in the cabinet of Prof. Hall.
