108 TRANSACTIONS OF THE WAGNER FREE 



into a short, sharply-deflected, and open canal ; surface of shell covered 

 with numerous alternating, elevated lines. 

 Length, 1.2 inch; width, .8 inch. 



Murex spinulosa, nov. sp. Fig. 41. 



Shell elevated, elongated, about equally attenuated to both extremi- 

 ties ; whorls strongly angulated superiorly, bearing short, outwardly 

 directed, spines on the shoulder angulation ; a row of similar (supra- 

 basal) spines in the siphonal region ; aperture about one-half the length 

 of shell, the canalicular portion the longest ; umbilicus long and open ; 

 surface of shell below the shoulder with a limited number of prominent 

 revolving lines, four on the body-whorl. 



Length, slightly exceeding one inch ; width, half-inch. This species 

 somewhat resembles the recent M. (Urosalpinx) fusifonnis of Adams. 



Latirus Floridanus, nov. sp. Fig. 42. 



Shell fusiform, about equally tapering; whorls convex, sub-angulated 

 superiorly, costated ; about ten obtuse costae on the body-whorl ; aper- 

 ture somewhat exceeding one-half the length of shell, contracted into a 

 gently-deflected, open canal of moderate length; outer lip striated in- 

 ternally; columellar folds feeble, one or two in number, sdmewhat ob- 

 lique; surface of shell covered with rugose revolving lines, alternate in 

 size. 



Length, 1.7 inch ; width, .6 inch. 



An apparent variety of this form, possibly a distinct species, has a 

 somewhat more depressed outline, a more pointed apex, and is generally 

 more rugose in its ornamentation. The columellar folds are more nearly 

 transverse, and three to four in number. 



This species appears to be on the whole most nearly related to the 

 recent Latirus infundibulum, from which it differs in the greatly reduced 

 spire, and a proportional elongation of the siphonal tract. 



Fulgur coronatum, Conr. 



Bull. Nat. Inst., p. 187. 



A fossil from the Miocone deposits of Maryland. 



Pulgur spiaiger t Conr. 



Journ. Acad. Nat. Sciences Phila., new ser., i, p. 117, pi. n, fig. 32, as Fusus. 



A solitary specimen, somewhat imperfect, which differs from the Vicks- 

 burg fossil only in the slightly more depressed character of the 

 shoulders of the whorls. 



Turbinella polygonata, nov. sp. Fig. 43. 



Shell elevated, turreted ; whorjs abruptly flattened on the shoulder 

 rendering the spire scalariform the upper ones gently convex, obscurely 

 noded or costated; body-whorl quadrangular, with a broad, flat shoulder;
