Vig. 180.—Cuncliulcpas |je foot, pointed behind, widened in front, wnere it is marked with two deep emargmations. The eyes are on the sides of the tentacula, near the base.

The species were scattered among- the Buccina and Murices by Lin-naeus. Their snail is like that of Buccinum as now restricted. Some shells similar to Purpura, but in which we notice a spine on the outer margin of the canal, form the genus Licorna, Montf. (Monoceros, Lam.) Others in which the columella, or at least the lip, is garnished, in the full-grown shell, with teeth that narrow the mouth constitute the Sislra of the former, and the Ricimda of Lamarck.
