6 GENUS BUCCINUM. 
This species is very distinct from others in its size, in its 
elongated form, the absence of strie upon the shell, and the 
aperture being much more ovate.

Inhabits 
This species much resembles the Buccinum ovum of Bennett, 
(Zodlogical Journal, vol. I, p. 366, tab. 13, fig. 9). But that is 
represented of a more globular form, while the specimens I have 
examined of the Buccinum fusiforme are more elongated, and 
the whirls of the spire’ more detached.
