LEVIFUSUS. 



I^evifusus siiteri, no v. sp, • PI- 3, fig- 4- 



Shell oblor.g-ovate, whorls seven, the first three smooth, next 

 nodular and trngulated. The periphery of each whorl marked by 

 a double spiral line or band carrying nodes, where crossed by 

 longitudinal plications ; upper part of whorls looking down on 

 same shows a spiral line inside of the peripheral border following 

 the sinuosities of the same ; periphery of body whorl spinous and 

 beaded, followed by a broad concave space below, then a second 

 spiral ring, followed b}^ a third space and ring ; spiral lines cover 

 the canal ; the third spiral ring extending within the aperture ; 

 outer lip smooth, aperture quadrate above with a narrowing canal 

 below ; columella smooth, curved; canal slightly twisted, umbili- 

 cus rudimentary. 



Locality. — Matthews' Landing, Ala. 



Resembles L. trabeatus Con.vars, but has a fusoid canal. Named 

 in honor of my young friend, Henry Suter, Esq. , of New Zea- 

 land. 



LATIRUS. 



Latir^is alabamensis, nov. sp. PI. i, fig. 17- 



Shell small, solid; whorls six, apex smooth; whorls .spirally stri- 

 ated, suture strongly impressed; labrum striate, denticulate with- 

 in, striations extending within the aperture, three nodular eleva- 

 tions at narrow part of pillar lip ; canal recurved, short. 



Locality. — Hatchetigbee Bluff, Ala. 



This species is doubtfull}^ placed in Latirus. It has no umbili- 

 cus. 



FUSUS. 



Fiisusf whitjieldi, nov. sp. PI. 4, fig. 4. 



Shell thin, broadly fusiform, whorls ten, first four smooth, the 

 next partl}^ smooth and partly transversely ribbed, the balance 

 angulated with ribs on the lower half of whorl ; surface reticu- 

 lated; the spiral lines alternate in size, very closely set, the 

 smaller spiral line beaded on the body whorl ; constricted at suture ; 

 outer lip sigmoid, smooth within; canal slightly bent. 



Locality. — Matthews' Landing and Gregg's Landing, Ala. 

 This shell partakes so much of a Pleurotomid, I hesitate to put 

 it under Fksus.
