se three genera with thePurpurae,and we only regret that both Duclos and Kiener should have returned tothe early plan of arrangement. The shell of Purpura may be desoibed as being of an oval or oblong-oval form, with the outside generally armed with spines or tubercles, thespire being short, and the last whorl ventricose, or widely inflated ; theaperture is ovate, and dilated, angulated at the upper part, and slightlycanaliculated with an oblique sinus at the lower; the columella is flat,and depressed, ending in a point, and the lip is often dentated.
