YOLUTA elevate. 
TAB. DCXIII- fig. 4. 
Spec. Char. Elliptical elongated ; transversely stri- 
ated,, costated ; spire produced ; the whorls con- 
vex, their upper parts deeply furrowed and 
crowned with rows of small spines between the 
furrows. 
The elongated spire distinguishes this from all the Vo- 
lutes which approach it in general appearance. 
Found by Mr. Wetherell at the Railroad, near Camden 
Town ; it is rare. 
VOLUTA Harpula. 
TAB. DCXI V.—fig. 1. 
Spec. Char. Ovate-fusiform, longitudinally costated, 
the upper edges of the whorls crenated ; the 
suture defined ; columella many-plaited, the 
three lower plaits large, the last but one largest; 
aperture oval, truncated at the base.

This Volute appears to vary in form with its locality. The 
English specimens have the costae obtuse, and gradually 
lost towards the base of the last whorl, while in those from 
Grignonthe elegantly curved costae are sharp and complete 
to the very edge of the aperture. The fine striae which cross 
the ribs are also more conspicuous in the British variety. 
The lip is thickened when full-grown in both. 
A rare shell at Barton. I am indebted to Mr. Lowry 
for the only specimen I have seen.
