Murex ait is perhaps the nearest allied species to this, though 
of very different form.

_. Also allied to the Murex pinniger, but of a more elongated form 
and different style of colouring.

Hab. ? 
This shell was supposed to have been the Murex rarispina of La- 
marck, but it having been satisfactorily shown by both Kiener and 
Deshayes that Mr. Sowerby’s Murew formosus is that species, I pro- 
pose to distinguish it by the above new title. 
Murex Frunicutatus. Mur. testd claveformi, transversim liratd,

An eibesiinr species, well-characterized by the fine dark chest- 
nut-brown cords with which it is encircled throughout at equal 
distances.

Hab. aN 
This shell MR to the Murex tribulus, but its characters 
present an agreeable modification throughout, which may be con- 
sidered of specific importance. The spines are constantly tipped with 
black.
