part of the last whorl. Sometimes a finer rib is inserted between two 

 stronger ones ; aperture rather small, terminating in a long straight 

 canal ; outer lip unknown, inner lip rather thick ; at least four strong 

 plaits on the columella. 



Locality.'~Yeria.Vigyat and Minbu ; pretty common. 



Remarks. — Sowerby's figure of this species is very defective, and 

 might be taken for any other species belonging to this group. I have, 

 however, not the slightest doubt that the specimens from Burma 

 must be referred to Sowerby's species. Fusus intortus>\^3.m. } parti- 

 cularly Deshayes' var. a, fig. 10 and 1 1, 1 resembles this form so closely 

 that I felt almost inclined to consider the species from India and 

 Burma identical with it ; the columella is, however, longer and more 

 attenuated in F. nodulosus than in F. intortus ; there are no plaits 

 on the columella of the latter, while they are certainly present in F. 

 nodulosus, which also affords the best distinguishing feature, 

 although it must not be forgotten that it would be difficult, if not 

 impossible, to distinguish fragments of Fasciolaria nodosa without 

 aperture. 



FASCIOLARIA FEDDENI, Spec. nov„ Plate VIII, Fig. 4— 4a. 



Only one specimen of this pretty species has been found, but this 

 shows such a peculiar character that a new name is fully" justified ; 

 only part of the spire and last whorl being preserved, nothing can be 

 said about the shape, but apparently it was fusiform ; the ornamenta- 

 tion consists of big longitudinal nodules, which posteriorly terminate 

 rather abruptly before reaching the suture; they are crossed by strong 

 revolving ribs of which there are four on the spire, and not less than 

 11 on the last whorl ; these ribs do not, however, extend completely 

 over the whole whorl, but only a single one runs close to the suture ; 

 then follows a broad band covered apparently with fine undulating 

 lines only, and then at about the same height as the nodules, begin 

 the ribs, which extend over the remainder of the whorl ; the inter- 

 stices are filled with very fine undulating lines. 



Locality.— Yenangyat, very rare.
