FUSUS. 
Puate XVII. 
Species 65. (Mus. Taylor.) 
Fusus crapatus. Fus. testd fusiformi, canali longiusculo, 
anfractibus transversim undique liratis, medio ventri- 
cosis, oblique plicato-costatis ; lutescente-albd, ferru- 
gineo-fusco tinctd. 
THE GRADUATED Fusus. Shell fusiform, canal rather 
long, whorls transversely ridged throughout, ventri- 
cose in the middle, obliquely plicately ribbed; yel- 
lowish-white, stained with rust-brown. 
Hab. ? 
This specimen appears to be of somewhat immature 
growth, but I cannot, after the most careful examination, 
refer it to any species hitherto described. 
Species 66. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Fusus ustunatus. Fus. testd subobeso-fusiformi, anfrac- 
tibus superne rotundatis et ventricosis, transversim 
liratis, longitudinaliter subobsolete plicatis ; ferrugineo- 
Suscescente. 
THE scorcHED Fusus. Shell somewhat stoutly fusiform, 
whorls rounded and ventricose, transversely ridged, 
longitudinally rather obsoletely plicated ; rust-brown. 
Hab. P 
The whorls of this species are peculiarly rounded at the 
upper part, and the faint plicated sculpture is distinguished 
by its darker colour. 
Species 34. (Fig. 34, 6. Mus. Metcalfe.) 
Fusus Brcxr. The accompanying figure is a front 
view of the species represented at Pl. VIII., under the 
name ventricosus, Beck, which being already occupied by 
Mr. Gray, I propose to change to Bechkii. The specimen 
is a more characteristic one, and shows more distinctly in 
what its peculiarities consist. 
Species 67. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Fusus Cuminet. us. testd oblongo-fusiformi, medio ven- 
tricosd, anfractibus transversim sulcatis, medio acute 
angulatis, ad angulum tuberculatis, tuberculis com- 
pressis, mucronatis ; columellé basi uniplicatéd ; albi- 
dd, rufo-fusco hic illic flammulaté. 
Cumine’s Fusus. Shell oblong-fusiform, ventricose in 
the middle, whorls transversely grooved, sharply 
angled, tubercled at the base, tubercles compressed, 
sharp-pointed ; columella with a single plait at the 
base; whitish, flamed here and there with reddish 
brown. 
Jonas, MSS. 
Hab. China. 
This striking new species having been named in manu- 
script after Mr.Cuming by Dr. Jonas of Hamburgh, 
I have much pleasure in giving it publicity. 
January, 1848.
