fusus Turtoni, Bean in Mag. Nat. Hist. vii. 493, f. 61. 
King in Ann. Nat. Hist. xviii. 245. Howse in Ann. 
Nat. Hist. xix. 162, t. 10, f 6—10. 
From deep water, rare. A few specimens of this fine species 
have been obtained from the fishermen by Mr. W. King and Mr. 
R. Howse. The ova capsules and young have also been got by 
the latter and are figured by him in the Annals of Natural 
History. 
8. F. Norveaicus, Chemn. 
Fusus Norvegicus, King in Ann. Nat. Hist. xviii. 244. 
Howse in Ann. Nat. Hist. xix. 162, t. 10, f. 1—3. 
From deep water, rare. This, with the last, was first noticed 
to be an inhabitant of our coast by Mr. King, who has procured 
some beautiful specimens from the fishermen. Specimens have 
likewise been got by Mr. R. Howse, who dredged the ova cap- 
sules in sixty fathoms water, off the coast of Durham. See Ann. 
Nat. Hist., as above. 
9. F. antiquus, Linn. 
Murex antiquus, Mont. Test. Brit. 257. 
Common in the coralline and deep-water regions on all parts 
of the coast. The deep-water variety is thinner and more ven- 
tricose than the other, and generally has the outer lip reflected. 
Our largest specimen from the coralline zone (got at Newbig- 
gin), measures 7+ inches in length, and 34 in breadth. Dr. 
Johnston, however, has a specimen, found by Miss I. Forster 
near Alemouth, which is 8 inches long, and 34 broad. (Berw. 
Club. Proc. 7. 234.) The largest from deep water, as mentioned 
by Mr. King, is 7 inches long and nearly 5 broad. These 
specimens from our coast appear to be the largest that have been 
recorded. 
10. F.? minimus, JZont. 
Buceinum minimum, Mont. Test. Brit. 247, t. 8, f 2. 
In shell-sand at Tynemouth and Cullercoats, rare-—J. A. 
Fusus punctatus, Brown Illust. Rec. Conch. 7, t. 5, f. 56, 57, 
found by Capt. Brown at Holy Island, we have not been able to 
make out.
