AUSTROFUSUS. 137 



S. VARICOSA, Kiener. PL 54, fig. 353. 



Light brown, the revolving striai darker. Length, 2 inches. 



Hob. unknown. 



This species was first figured by Chemnitz, but his figures as 

 well as Kiener's are from worn specimens. My illustration is 

 from Reeve, and represents a very peculiar shell, the generic 

 position of which is doubtful.

S. LIGATA, COMMODA, NODULOSA, MUNDA, FILOSA, CORRUGATA, 



GRISEA, COLUS, ACUMiNATA, FYRAMis, A, Adams, all from

 Described as a Murex : generic position doubtful. 



S. GYRATA, Hinds (Vol. II, 151, t. 33, f. 362). 



This shell may be a young Siphonalia, although described as a 

 Trophon, and included by me in the monograph of that genus. 



S. CLARKEI, TURRITA, CASTANEA, PULCHRA, Woods. Tasmania. 



Mr. W. F. Petterd* makes Trophon Brazieri, Woods = S. 

 castanea, and considers Siph. pulchra, Woods, a young Pleuro- 

 toma philomense, with undeveloped lip. 



Subgcnui Austrofusus, Kobelt. 



Shell ovate fusiform, whorls rounded, not angulated at the 

 upper part.

 Yellowish white, the ridges deep chocolate.

S. Fontainei, d'Orb., is from the Peruvian Coast, and appears 

 to be a synonym (fig. 379).
