The definition of this genus ran as follows:—
Testa subovata, spinosa. Apertura coarctata, ovata, desinens in canalem tubuloso-conniventem.
This was evidently designed for the Murices proper. The other species of the 'Museum' were distributed in the groups of Cassis, Turricula, Bulla, and Strombus. The last was defined as follows; "Testa obverse conica, nodosa, labium exterius angulum transversalem superne formans; interius nullum. Columella incurva. Cauda integra."
