TROPHON. 145 



T. MURICIFORMIS, King. 



Ovately-fusiform, cinereous ; whorls tumid, cancellated; aper- 

 ture dark chestnut; margin of lip crenulate. 



Lengtli 1 inch, diam. '55 inch. 



Straits of Magellan. 



I cannot identify this species. Very probably it is a variety 

 of T. Geversianus. 



T. CORRUGATUS, Reeve. PI. 33, tig. 352. 



Closely latticed ; pale fulvous white. Length, 1*25 inches. 



Habitat? 



A very doubtful form. It may = T. muriciformis above, and 

 Thilippi (Abbild. Ill) has identified it with his Fusus albidus, 

 which is a synonym of T. Geversianus. On the other hand 

 Hutton thinks that his T. plebetus, of New Zealand, may be the 

 same. 



T. LOEBBECKEI, Kobelt. PI. 31, fig. 335. 



Very like the preceding, but not so closely ribbed. 



Length. 32 mill. 



Habitat unknown. 

 It may belong to the genus Uros&bpvnx. 



T. PLEBEIUS, Hutton. 



Small, fusiform ; whorls convex, striated spirally, and finely 

 plicate longitudinally ; mouth oval, angular, lip striated in adult 

 individuals ; canal short, slightly inclined to the left. Purpure- 

 ous, the salient parts darker j within brownish purple. 



Length, -8 inch. 



New Zealand. 



Trophon in/eras, Hutton is said to resemble the above, but 

 much larger, with shorter canal and more irregular ribs. 



Length, 1-1 inches. 



They are probably identical. Hutton thinks that possibly 

 Fusus corruyafus. Reeve (= Trophon) is the same. Not figured. 



T. GrLocKERi, Anton. 



Only known through a short description ; no locality. Is 

 probably a Trophon.
