FUSING. 



I do not know the species. It was described as a Murex, but 

 neither belongs to that genus nor to Fusus where it is placed 

 by Sowerby, of whose figure I give a copy. Perhaps it is a very 

 young Coralliophila. 



F. UNICARINATUS, Phil. This unfigured and minute species from 

 Magellan's Straits is certainly not a Fusus, but may be a Trophon. 

 I have described it under that genus in Vol. II, p. 151. 



F. SPIRALIS, A. Ad. This is a genuine Fusus, shouldered and 

 spirally striate, about three inches in length. Inhabits New 

 Zealand. F. pensum, Hutton, is a synonym, according to the 

 latter author. Unfigured. 



F. NODICINCTUS, A. Ad. Australia. 



F. DILECTUS, A. Ad. Venezuela. 



F. ALBINUS, A. Ad. Ichaboe, W. Africa. 



F. SOLIDULUS, A. Ad. Japan. 



F. SPIOERI, Tenison-Woods. Tasmania. 



F. LEGRANDI, Tenison-Woods. Tasmania. 



F. NIVEUS, Gray. Sierra Leone. 



F. GRANDIS, Gray. Habitat unknown. 



F. GLACIALIS, Gray. Arctic Ocean. 



F, VARIUS, Lam. Australia. 



F. CREBRICOSTATUS, Lam. Hab. unknown. 



F. RUBENS, Lam. Isle of France. 



These three species are not figured by Kiener in his delinea- 

 tions of the Lamarckian types, and the descriptions have not 

 been identified by any other conchologists. 

 F. VENTRICOSUS and F. EXILIS, Menke. Australia. 



F. CHONETICUS, F. UMBILICATUS, F. BERNARDIANUS, F. CYGNEUS 



and F. NIGRINUS, Philippi. 



F. umbilicatus is certainly not a Fusus, but the description 

 does not indicate its generic position. 

 F. MURICOIL>ES and F. NITENS, C. B. Adams. Jamaica. 



Both minute shells, and not true Fusi. 

 F. LINEATUS and F. MALSBURGIANUS, Menke. 



The above, described in Menke 's catalogue, are not now in his 

 collection. Vide Mai. Blatt, xviii, 121.
