Fusus (^Neptuned) tornatus Gould, Rarely found fossil at Caribou Island, and in the blue clay at the mouth of Salmon River. Fusus (Neptunea) labradorensis Pack. TRITONOFUSUS r>i ii r t i i CRETACEUS. Shcll fusiform ; whorls moderately convex, sutures deeply impressed, the upper ones somewhat flat- tened, spire elongated, acute, lower whorl ventricose, covered with rather coarse revolving striae. On the lower whorl are twenty nearly straight, coarse, flattened folds, which on the succeeding whorls run the entire length of each whorl. Aperture ovate, columella con- cave, smooth ; canal moderately long, oblique, slightly tortuous, spire a little longer than the shell. Length, one inch ; breadth .48 inch. One specimen at Caribou Island. It differs from Fusus pullus Reeve (fig. 89) in being apparently a much thicker shell, in the longer canal, and in the more ventricose body of the shell, with the coarser revolving lines.
