78 FASCIOLARIA. 



F. SALMO, Wood. PL 62, figs. 31, 32, 35. 



Light flesh-color or yellowish, the very thin epidermis 

 yellowish brown ; aperture flesh-color. Length, 4-5 inches. 



Panama to W. Coast of Mexico. 



The spire is short, giving the species very much the appear-

Var. GRANOSA, Brod. Fig. 32. 



Still larger, measuring 5-7 inches. Edge of aperture and 

 columella tinged with orange. Epidermis darker colored, covered 

 with black granulations.

 remarks under preceding species. 



F. Valenciennesij Kiener (fig. 35), is a F. salmo with the nodules 

 but slightly developed. 



F. LIGNARIA, Linn. PI. 63, figs. 36, 37. 



Whitish or yellowish, sometimes with brown bands ; brown 

 tinted within the aperture. Epidermis olive-brown. 



Length, 2 inches. 



Mediterranean Sea. 



This species has a rude, solid growth, usually appearing as if

 F. RUFA, Reeve. PL 33, fig. 38. 



Reddish brown, interior white ; revolving ridges indistinct or

F. RUGOSA, Yal. Acapulco. A young shell ; perhaps Latirus.
