128 FUSID^. 



Conr. (xlvii, 14), Eocene ; Alabama. Scarcely distinct from 

 the typical Fusse. 



TURRispiRA, Conrad. Has not been characterized, and does 

 not seem to differ from Fusus. F. Salebrosa, Conrad (xlvii, 15). 

 Eocene ; Alabama. 



PRiscoFUSus, Conrad. Founded on Fusus geniculus, Conrad, 

 a very poorly preserved or figured fossil ; the type has " been 

 lost for twenty years. The species is wholly unrecognizable, 

 and should be expunged from nomenclature. For this rubbish 

 Mr. Conrad has proposed a genus Priscofusus, but with neither 

 figure nor diagnosis." — Dall, Froc. Calif. Acad., 1811. F. geni- 

 culus, Conrad (xlvii, 16). Eocene ; Astoria, Oregon. 



SERRiFUSUS, Meek. Shell short-fusiform ; body-volution large, 

 and bi- or tricarinate, with caringe more or less nodose ; spire 

 and canal moderate, the latter bent and more or less twisted ; 

 outer lip broadly but slightly sinuous in outline, between the 

 upper carina and the suture. F. Dakotensis, Meek and Hayden. 

 Cretaceous ; Dakotah. 



This form so much resembles the recent Fusus {Hemifusus) 

 proboscidiferus, Lam., that it might well be considered a fossil 

 form of the same group. 



JANiA, Bellardi. Shell subfusiform ; spire elongate ; mouth 

 scarcely canaliculate behind ; lip marginate, nodose or plicate 

 within ; columella uniplicate anteriorly and posteriorly ; canal 

 short recurved. F. angulosus, Brocchi (xlvii, ^*l). Tertiarj^ ; 

 Italy. 



MATERIA, Bellardi. Ovate-fusiform, spire short, but slightly 

 acute ; whorls very sharply carinate in the middle ; columella 

 smooth, rather straight in front, canal moderate. F. aciUissimus, 

 Bellardi (xlvii, 81). Tertiary; Italy. 



ANURA, Bellardi. Shell turreted, ovate ventricose ; whorls 

 convex ; mouth orbicular or suborbicular ; lip somewhat arcuate, 

 exteriorly subvaricose in the adult, interiorly margined and 

 smooth ; canal scarcely produced ; columella slightly contorted, 

 smooth, F. injlatus, Brocchi (xlvii, 19). Tertiary ; Italy. 



MiTR^FUSUS, Bellardi. Elongated, mitr^eform ; spire very long 

 and acute ; whorls numerous, the last scarcely depressed in front ; 

 mouth narrow, long ; lip simple ; canal long, produced in the axis 

 of the shell. F. orditus, Bell, et Mich, (xlvii, 80). Tertiary ; Italy. 



GENEA, Bellardi. Shell subfusiform, long, narrow ; spire long, 

 very acute ; mouth long, narrow ; lip simple ; columella smooth, 

 but slightly arcuate ; canal very short, wide, straight. F. Bonellii, 

 (rend (xlvii, 18). Tertiar}^; Italy. 



Afer, Conrad. 

 Distr. — 2 sp. Red Sea to Manilla, Senegal. J. 5Zosoi7Zet, Desh.
