INDETERMINATE MTIRICES. 135 



Indeterminate Murices. 



M. ACANTHOPHORUS, Monterosato. Named but not described. 

 There is a Phyllonotus acantfiophorus, A. Adams (described in 

 Zool. Proc., 3t2, 1862), from Japan. Monterosato's species is 

 from the Mediterranean. 



M. CYCLOPUS, Benoit. MSS. Quoted by Monterosato as a 

 Mediterranean species, but not characterized. 



M. CINUULATUS, Lam. Hab. ? This shell has not been identi-

M. NANUS, ACUMINATUS, L^BVICOSTA, ALBIOANS, AURANTIUS, DEN- 



TATUS; all described by Anton in his Yerzeichniss, 1834, have 

 never been identified. No localities of any of them are given. 

 Not figured. 



The following species are described by Mr. Arthur Adams in

 dimensions are given in most of these descriptions, nor are they 

 figured. I am unable to locate them positively in any of the sub- 

 generic groups. 



* With several varices. 



M. ARMATUS (Gulf of California), IOSTOMUS (Philippines). 



* Shell plicate. 



M. EXCAVATUS, PAGODUS, SEROTINUS (South Australia, Angas).

 crenulate ; dark brown, subfasciate with white ; canal moderate, 

 subrecurved; lip crenulate. L. 5 inches, lat. 3 inches. 



Gallapagos Is., found under stones. 

 Probably a young shell. 



M. OSTREARUM and M. CELLTJLOSA, Conrad. Tampa Bay, Fla.

 any species ; they are as follow r s :
