148 TROPHON. 



T. CORONATUS, Adams. 



Ovately fusiform, thin, cretaceous, white ; spire moderate ; 

 whorls angulate behind ; varices distant, laciniated, produced into 

 squamiform spines on the shoulder ; interstices smooth ; last 

 whorl ventricose, produced into a long rostrum, which is recurved 

 at the extremity ; aperture ovate ; lip smooth, simple ; canal open. 



L. 45. lat. 17 mill. New Zealand. 



Not figured. 



T. PETTERDI, Brazier. PL 33, fig. 361. 



Color dirty white, light yellowish within the aperture. 



Length, 8-5 mill. Tasmania. 



An aberrant form, which might as well be placed in Muricidea 

 as here. T. clathratus, Woods, is the same species according to 

 Yon Martens (Zool. Rec., 152, 1815) ; and I think Murex scala- 

 rinus, A. Adams, will prove to be the same or an allied species. 

 If the same, it will have priority. It is not figured, and no locality 

 is given. Sowerby has figured in error for this species a little 

 shell which much resembles a slim variety of Murex aciculatus, 

 Lam. 

 T. BRAZIERT, Woods. 



Ovately fusiform, attenuate at both ends, sordid white ; spire 

 subturreted, almost acute, mamillate ; whorls seven, with rib-like 

 varices (six distant ones on the body), smooth or finely striate : 

 aperture ovate, chestnut-colored, indistinctly brown-banded ; outer 

 lip thin ; columella subtuberculate anteriorly ; canal sub-elongate, 

 recurved. L. 10, lat. 5 mill. Tasmania. 



Not figured. 



T. GrOLDSTEINI, Woods. 



Abbreviately fusiform, lamellosely varicose, sordid white, spire 

 subturreted ; whorls eight, convex, angulate and coronate above, 

 girdled with distant, subraised lira? (in last whorl four, the two 

 towards the base between the varices obsolete), lira? not passing- 

 over the varices, which are anteriorly squamose and flexuous ; 

 aperture ovate, enamelled and chestnut-brown banded within ; 

 outer lip varicose ; columella twisted ; canal twisted and flexuous. 



L. 16, lat. 8 mill. Tasmania.
