1861.] M. O. A. L. MORCh's REVIEW OF THE VERMETIDJE. 175 



It is very like in sculpture the last variety of V. himbricalis. I have 

 seen a specimen in which the three first whorls are angular and 

 smooth, and the rest of the spire flat and trilirate. 



Var. (T- scALARis. 



T. castanea, tenuiuscula, laxe spiralis ; anfr. teretiusculi superne 

 et inferne subplanulati wide obtusissime biangulati, longitu- 

 dinaliter lirulati et striati ; rugcB incrementi regidariter ap- 

 proximatce, conferte undulatce ; stricB incrementi interdum mem- 

 branacece ; sjiira parva, turritelloidea, pallida ; anfr. primi 

 obliqui, infra medium acutanguli, anfr. ult. carinis duabus 

 cequalibus, basi concaviuscula. 

 Diam. apert. 6 m. 



Serpula, Humphrey, Conchology, t. 10. f. 5 & 7. 

 Hab. Ins. St. Thomas. 



All the specimens show remains of sponges ; they are all twisted in 

 the same manner as the spongicole Tenagodi. The transverse un- 

 dulated rugse remind one very much of the varices of Cirsostrema. 

 To this variety belongs, according to the original specimen, Vermicu- 

 laria glomerata, var. 2 c (Gravenh. Tergestiua, p. 61 c). 



Var. 7). TERES. 



Vermetus lumbricalis. Pictorial Museum, f. 2820. 

 Lumbricoid Vermetus, Knight, Encyclop. 1856, iv. p. 1134. fig. 

 (copy). 



Vermetus lumbricalis, Illustrirte Naturg. f. 3743. p. 193 (copy). 



A group affixed on a Chama (probably C. macrophylla) is very 

 likely a variety of this species. 



28. Vermictjlus anguis, Forbes. 



Vermetus 1 anguis, Forbes on Fossil Invert, from Southern India ; 

 Geol. Trans, vii. 3. p. 124. t. 13. f. 1 (1845-56). 



Uncoiled spiral of two loose turns of augulated rugose whorls, 

 spirally striated and feemiplicated. 



Hab. Pondicherry, cretaceous (Grant). 



The sculpture of this shell is very like that of V. spiratus, var. 4'. 



29. Vermictjlus cochleiformis, Jos. Midler. 



Vermetus cochleiformis, Miill. Mon. Aachener Kreide, 2. p. 6. t. 3. 

 f. 3. 



Hab. Greensand of Konigsthorn on Lusberg and near Vaels 

 {Miiller). 



Not unlike in shape some forms of V. spiratus, var. f . This and 

 the preceding have very likely lived in sponges. 



30. Vermiculus? circumcarinatus, Stoppani. 



Serpularia circumcarinata. Stop. Pal. Lombard, t. 6. f. 4-6. 

 Fossil in triassic formation. This shell is perhaps more allied to 

 Eccyliomphalus, Portlock.
