Mollusks

Shell covered with epidermis, rough, fusiform, or ventricose in the
middle; prolonged behind by the spire, but particularly forward by the
canal; aperture oval; the columellar edge straight or nearly so; the
exterior edge sharp; operculum oval, horny, with sub-concentric
elements, and summit lateral.

_F. colus._ The spindle Fusus. Pl. 25, fig. 3.

Species turreted or sub-turreted, not umbilicated; outer lip entire,
columella smooth.

_F. filosus._ The threaded Fusus.

Species sub-turreted and umbilicated.


                    7. Pyrula. Twenty-eight species.

Distinguished from the Fusus by having a short depressed spire, and the
last whorl very large and ventricose, giving this shell the shape of a
pear.

Shell pyriform by the depression of the spire, the canal conical, very
long or middling, sometimes a little sloped; aperture oval, very large;
columella smooth.
