THE CORONATED Fascrtonarta. Shell fusiform, some- 
times abbreviated, sometimes elongated, whorls spi-

Of all the Fasciolaria this is the most variable in respect 
to growth, whilst on the other hand, it is, perhaps, the 
most constant in regard to colour. Some specimens are of 
a pyriform spindle-shape as represented at Fig. 14, c and d, 
others are of a slender and more elongated growth as at 
Fig. 14, @ and 6; the colour is an uniform grey or fawn 
distinguished throughout by one or two narrow whitish 
zones encircling the shell beneath the nodules, to which, 
though often much obscured, some importance should be 
attached.

Tue Prrstan Fascrozarra. Shell stoutly fusiform, 
solid, rude, spire rather short, sharp, turreted, whorls

Hab. 
A fine and rare species approximating in some measure 
to the £. aurantiaca, though perfectly distinguished by its 
short rude tumid growth and stout tubercular ribs. 
October, 1847.
