Murex Shilohensis var. Burnsi n. var. 

 Plate xvn, fig. 2. 



Shell resembling Murex Shilohensis Heilp. in the principal features, but 

 is shorter and broader proportionally, with a broader, flatter shoulder, and 

 having but six varices on the whorl instead of eight, as in that one. The 

 upper volutions appear to have been not only shorter but much more angu- 

 lar, and the body- whorl less rounded, the canal shorter, and the columella 

 more angular and tortuous. The varices, besides being more distant though 

 less in number, are narrower and more abruptly elevated on the sides, 

 while the spines at their upper end retain the forms and features of those of 

 that one. The revolving or spiral ridges are the same in number, namely 

 four, exclusive of that on the upper angle, and the entire surface, ridges, and 

 intermediate spaces is marked by finer spiral lines. At the base of the 

 volution, or properly on the beak, there is a proportionally long, sharply 

 recurved spine on each varix, a little above the lower end, which does not 

 appear on the type of M. Shilohensis. Considering these differences I do 

 not feel satisfied of its specific identity with that one. 



Locality : The specimen, imperfect at the apex, is in collection from 

 Jericho, N. J., made for the National Museum by Mr. Frank Bums.
