Species 56. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Fusus TurBinetiores. Fus. testé oblongo-ovatd, basi 
recurvd, anfractibus spiraliter sulcatis et striatis, medio 
acute angulatis et tuberculatis, tuberculis compressis, 
mucronatis ; alba, epidermide sericed lutescente indutd. 
THE TURBINELLA-LIKE Fusus. Shell oblong-ovate, re- 
curved at the base, whorls spirally grooved and stri- 
ated, sharply angled and tuberculated in the middle, 
tubercles compressed, sharp-pointed ; white, covered 
with a yellowish silken epidermis. 
Hab. Africa ? 
A delicate species of light growth, partaking of the 
typical form of Turdinella. 
Species 57. (Mus. Metcalfe.) 
Fusus myristicus. us. testd subgloboso-ovatd, anfrac- 
tibus rotundatis, liris conspicuis longitudinalibus et 
transversis clathratis ; luteo-rufescente. 
Tup NurmMEG Fusus. Shell somewhat globose, whorls 
rounded, latticed with conspicuous longitudinal and 
transverse ridges; yellowish-red. 
Hab. ? 
The ridges are slightly nodulous where crossing each 
other. 
Species 58. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Fusus rurus. Fus. testd oblongo-fusiformi, spird turrité, 
anfractibus superné declivibus, medio angulatis et pli- 
cato-nodosis, nodis prominulis, liris parvis decussatis ; 
ustulato-rufa, intus albd. 
Tue RED Fusus. Shell oblong-fusiform, spire turreted, 
whorls slanting round the upper part, angulated and 
plicately noduled in the middle, nodules prominent, 
erossed with small ridges; burnt red colour, interior 
white. 
Hab. Philippines ; Cuming. 
‘The ridges which may be supposed to encircle this spe- 
cies appear on the tubercles, but are obsolete in the inter- 
stices. ‘ 
Species 59. (Mus. Hanley.) 
Fusus Cancettariorpes. Fus. testd ovata, solidiusculd, 
basi contortd et recurvd, spire suturis peculiariter im- 
pressis, anfractibus transversim fortiter liratis, longitu- 
dinaliter plicato-costatis, costis latiusculis, labrum versus 
gradatim evanidis ; albidd, liris rufo-fuscescentibus. 
THE CANCELLARTA-LIKE Fusus. Shell ovate, solid, twisted 
and recurved at the base, sutures of the spire pecu- 
larly impressed, whorls transversely strongly ridged, 
longitudinally plicately ribbed, ribs rather wide, gra- 
dually disappearing towards the lip; whitish, ridges 
reddish brown. 
Hab. China? 
A shell of rather anomalous structure, being very like 
a Cancellaria wanting the columella plaits, whilst it par- 
takes of the character of Buccinum, though not wnaptly 
referred to Fusus. 
Species 60. (Mus. Metcalfe.) 
Fusus Nosruis. us. testd giganted, elongato-fusiformi, 
anfractibus rotundatis, spiraliter creberrimé acute lira- 
tis, longitudinaliter plicato-costatis, costis latiusculis, 
anfractis ultimi et penultimi labrum versus gradatim 
evanidis ; albd, lirarum interstitiis pallidissimé rufes- 
centibus. 
THE Noste Fusus. Shell very large, eclongately fusi- 
form, whorls rounded, spirally very closely sharply 
ridged, longitudinally plicately ribbed, ribs rather 
broad, of the last and penultimate whorl gradually 
fading away towards the lip; white, interstices of the 
ridges very faintly tinged with reddish-brown. 
Hab, ——? 
Unlike the large species which precede this, the whorls 
exhibit no indication of any spiral row or keel of nodules. 
The accompanying figure is reduced, the specimen from 
which it is drawn being ten inches and a half in length and 
three inches and a half in width. 
January, 1848.
