Fusus TORNATUS. 
Fusus tornatus. Goutp, Am, Journ, Science, Vol. 33, p. 197. 
F. id. Ip. Invertebrata of Mass. p. 236, fig. 201. 
Description. Shell large, coarse, turreted. Whorls eight, very convex, rather ventricose, 
with distant elevated revolving ribs ; on the upper whorls, two of these, more prominent than 
the rest, give them a bicarinated appearance. Suture deep. Incremental strie distinct, but 
otherwise the shell has a smooth and worn appearance. Aperture rather less than half the 
length of the shell, broad-oval, and somewhat dilated : lip sharp, and somewhat angulated by 
the most prominent revolving bands; in adults, the inner margin covered with a callus. 
Canal short, much recurved. 
Color. Soiled white, of faint brownish horn-color ; ribs light chesnut-color. 
Length, 2°5. Width, 1°25. 
This large Fusus has hitherto only been obtained from the stomachs of codfishes. Dr. 
Gould has little doubt but that it is the M. despectus of Linneus; but as another shell 
is now universally received under that name, he thinks it more judicious to give this a new 
name. If the F’. antiquus of Pennant is intended by the same shell, no two species can be 
more different (See Pennant’s British Zoology, Vol. 4, p. 282, pl. 81). I am unacquainted 
with the F. tornatus of Gould, except through his description and figure, which I have 
adopted. 
Fusus BAMFIUS. 
PLATE XXXVI. FIG. 339. 
Murex bamfius. Montacu, Test. Brit, Supplement, p. 117. 
Fusus id. Gouxp, Invertebrata of Mass. p. 289, fig. 193. 
wescription. Shell small: whorls six, rounded; spire elevated; suture aeeply defined ; 
from fifteen to twenty sharp vertical folds ; aperture rounded, less than half the length of the 
shell, ending in a curved canal half the length of the aperture; lip sharp, direct or reflected 
according to age. 
Color, light brownish; folds whitish or brownish with age ; aperture brown. 
Length, 0°5. Width, 0°22. 
Found in the stomachs of fishes, and on both shores of the Atlantic. I only know this 
species through the description and figure given by Dr. Gould. 
(EXTRA-LIMITAL.) 
F. bicolor. (Say, Jour. Ac. Sc. Vol. 5, p. 215.) Shell small, short, fusiform; beak and spire subequal. 
Whorls 5, convex, with abrupt undulations near the suture, almost rising into arched scales. Sur- 
face sculptured with small revolving grooves, of which there are 20 - 30 on the body-whorl: suture 
deeply impressed ; aperture diminishing to the beak. Color, lower half of body-whorl tinged with 
tufous. Length, 0°45; width, 0°25. Florida.
