OF SOUTHERN INDIA. 125 
D’Orbigny described his Fusus Reqwienianus first from the chloritic beds of 
Uchaux and transferred it in his Prodrome to the ‘Turonien.’ The Pusus Buchi of 
Miiller occurs in the ‘Griinsand’ (about equivalent to the upper Greensand of 
English geologists) of Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle). In general the species may be 
regarded as a middle cretaceous fossil. 
Localities.—East of Anapaudy in a soft chloritie rock and near Veraghoor in a 
whitish sandstone, in Trichinopoly district ; rare. 
Formation. —Trichinopoly group. 
3. TRITONIDEA GRANULATA, Stoliczka. Pl. XI, Figs. 6 and 7. 
Trit. testa ovato-conica ; anfractibus subconvexis, posterius ad suturam margine 
tumescente atque una serie granorum ornatis, infra marginem profunde canalicu- 
latis, infra canalem costis crassis transversalibus atque striis spiralibus ornatis ; costis 
circiter denis in uno circuitu, rectis, tuberculate-elongatis, antice evanescentibus ; striis 
plus minusve granulosis, in anfractibus spire ternis seu quaternis, in ultimo numerosis ; 
canali anteriori elongato, prope recto. 
Spiral angle 55°; sutural angle 10°. 
This species is referred to Tvifonidea, chiefly on account of its general resem- 
blance to other species ; no specimen has been observed with the anterior portion of 
the canal perfectly preserved. In general form and partly in the ornamentation, the 
present species resembles much the 7rit. Requieniana. The specific distinctions are, 
however, pretty clearly marked, for not only the single whorls are less convex, but 
the entire ornamentation differs in its greater details. The posterior margin along 
the suture is much thickened, ornamented with a row of numerous spinose tuber- 
cles; below it there is a strong constriction like a canal, on which the transverse 
ribs terminate. The number of the granules on the sutural margin is much larger 
than the number of transverse ribs, so that the former cannot be regarded as the 
upper terminations of the latter. All the stronger spiral strize are more or less gra- 
nulated and form pretty sharp tubercles in crossing the transverse ribs. There are, 
at least in young specimens, very fine intermediate strize to be observed between the 
stronger ones, of which three or four are present on the upper whorl. The upper- 
most of these latter is somewhat thinner than the lower three. 
The inner lip is distinctly striated, but on the anterior portion apparently thicker, 
than in Pollia Pondicherriensis; the outer lip is internally grooved. The last whorl 
is somewhat higher than the spire, and the anterior canal is for the greater portion 
ef its length almost straight. 
Locality.—S8. E. of Parchairy in the Trichinopoly district, apparently very rare. 
Formation.—Trichinopoly ¢roup.
