Taytor’s Fusus. Shell pyramidally fusiform, canal short, 
whorls swollen and somewhat angled in the middle, 
longitudinally strongly ribbed, spirally striated, strie 
raised, more prominent upon the ribs; yellowish 
brown, lower part of the whorls conspicuously 
blotched with chesnut brown, ribs whitish, interstices

Hab. > 
An extremely interesting species, of which Mr. Taylor 
possesses the only two specimens I have seen, one of 
which is reversed. Though resembling Philippi’s 7. pud- 
chellus in general aspect, it will be found to differ mate- 
rially on comparison. It has all the appearance of being 
a more exotic species, the whorls are more ventricose, the 
ribs more robust, and the dark colouring, it will be ob- 
served, is not on the ribs, which, on the contrary, are 
white, but in the interstices.
