Shell long, solid, narrow, many-whorled, whorls flattened, suture superficial; the aperture small, notched in front, columella without plaits. Operculum horny, annular, with apical nucleus. Animal having the foot rounded in front, elongated behind ; head rather large, with short, small tentacles furnished with eyes at their tips ; between the tentacles extends anteriorly a rather long cylindrical trunk. Teeth subulate, arcuate, in two lateral rows (1-0-1); PL 12, fig. 40. The family is now restricted^ the Single genus Terebra (auger- shells), including about 170 living species ; the genus Pusionella, formerly referred to Terebridae, being now included in the Pleuro- tomidae. Troschel, however (Gebiss der Schnecken, ii, 28 ), found so much difference in the mouth-parts of the few species of Tere- bridae examined by him, that he would have separated them into three families, notwithstanding the close relationship of their shells, had he not been deterred by the paucity of material for study. His three types are as follows : — 1. The mouth-mass at the end of the proboscis furnished with arrow-like teeth, as in Conus, and a poison-gland. Hastula cserulescens. 2. No teeth, no venom-gland. Acus muscaria. 3. The mouth contains a true radula, supported by a lingual cartilage, with two rows of side-teeth ; no venom-gland. Myurella duplicate,. PI. 12, fig. 40. Finally in examining a specimen of T. subulata (representative of the restricted group Terebra), Troschel only obtained negative results ; seeing no teeth, although the poison-gland was present. About 25 fossil species are known, commencing with the Eocene. Conrad's genera Pyramitra, Caelatura and Terebri- fusus, referred by him to Terebridse, are not members of the group* The geographical distribution of Terebra is tropical and sub- tropical, and the species appear to be inhabitants of shallow water principally ; indeed, none have occurred, so far, at great depths. Gray, in 1834 (Zool. Proceedings, 59), enumerates 42 species, excluding those subsequently referred to Bullia ; half of these were first described in his paper. He thus groups them :— I. Whorls with a posterior spiral sulcus, inner lip thin, con- cave. 30 species. II. Whorls with posterior spiral sulcus, inner lip thickened, subelevated. 7 species. III. Whorls without posterior sulcus. 5 species. Kiener's monograph in his " Coquilles vivantes," contains 35 species. Hinds described many species in the Zoological Proceedings for 1843, and he monographed the genus in Sowerby's Thesaurus Conchyliorum (i, p. 141 bis to 190, PI. 41 to 45) ; enumerating and figuring 109 species. Hinds remarks that " The only sectional division of the genus that has been attempted, is that of Mr. Gray in the above Pro- ceedings. This division is three-fold ; the two first of these depend on the presence of the peculiar girdling or division of the whorls, and which is very conspicuous in many species, but practically I fail to carry it out in detail. Some species also are so excessively variable in this character, that M. Kiener has described T. castanea as having girdled whorls, but has figured it without them. The latter writer has not attempted any grouping of the species in his monograph, and as he has done so in most cases, we may venture to infer that he did not see room for it here. " It cannot be denied that among the numerous species are several shells which, taken by themselves, would furnish good grounds for sectional or even subgeneric divisions. And if we take T. maculata as the proper generic type, then T. lanceata, TEREBRID^E. 5 T. armillata and T. commaculata, seem to offer strong points of difference, and good grounds for sectional heads. But, with every wish to establish some such divisions, I have found it impracti- cable so to group the species that there shall be little or no doubt which section they belong to ; and unless this object is attained, I do not see any use in a division ; science would not be bene- fitted merely by selecting the salient points and strong grounds of the exceptions, and leaving the crowd to follow as they may." H. and A. Adams, in their " Genera of Recent Mollusca," include in the family Terebridse the two subfamilies Terebrinae and Pusionellinse (the shells composing the latter are now con- sidered a group of the family Pleurotomidse). They divide the subfamily Terebrinse into two genera : — Acus, Humphrey. Animal with eyes on the tips of the ten- tacles. Whorls without posterior band; aperture emarginate anteriorly, not produced into a canal ; columella simple, incurved, not tortuous ; outer lip simple, acute, without anterior sinus. A. maculata. Linn. TEREBRA, Adanson. Eyes at the outer bases of the tentacles. Whorls with spiral groove forming a posterior band ; aperture very small, canaliculated ; columella tortuous ; outer lip anteriorly sinuous. T. babylonia, Lam. These characters of the shell shade off into each other by gradual transitions, so that they afford no good grounds of divi- sion, and the position of the eyes is at the tips of the tentacles in all the species that have been examined. The eyes were erroneously figured by Quoy and Gaimard, in T. KubulaM, at the base of the tentacles, and this supposed peculiarity Messrs. Adams have made one of the points of distinction between their two genera. In the figure of the animal of T. subulata, in Gould's Moll. U. S. Expl. Exped., the eyes are correctly placed. In the genus Acus, Messrs. Adams' have the following sub- genera : — ABRETIA, H. and A. Adams. Whorls longitudinally ribbed ; columella simple, straight, produced. A. cerethina, Lam. HASTULA, H. and A. Adams. Whorls smooth ; columella simple, straight, produced anteriorly. A. albula, Menke. EURYTA, H. and A. Adams. Turreted, subfusiform, smooth ; whorls nodosely plicate, the last rather ventricose ; columella 6 TEREBRID^E. spirally twisted, forming a false umbilicus, pervious to the apex of the spire, much produced anteriorly; aperture somewhat effuse. A. aciculata, Lam. Under Terebra, they admit the subgenus :— MYURELLA, Hinds. Whorls furnished posteriorly with a tuber- culated zone, anteriorly transversely sculptured, or, very rarely, smooth ; columella tortuous and produced anteriorly. T. affinis, Gray. To complete the group of subgenera proposed in Terebridae, I here add : — IMPAGES, Smith. Shell subulate, whorls entire, more or less longitudinally striate or punctate, suture indistinctly separated, with a narrow callous band above it. This name is substituted for LeiodomuSj Gray, not Swainson ; Swainson's group belonging to Bullia. The character usually (but not always) obtains in the typical T. caerulescens, but in the other species quoted by Mr. Smith as members of this group it is mostly absent. M. Deshayes, in 1857, described a number of new species in the "Journal de Conchyliologie," and in J859 he published, in Zool. Proc. London, "A General Review of the Genus Terebra, and a Description of New Species." Excluding doubtful and unidentified forms, 221 species are enumerated, of which 90 are described by this author. In the systematic arrangement of the species Deshayes mainly follows H. and A. Adams, thus (I add characteristic examples) : First Division. (Acus, Humphrey.) A. Shell buccinoid. (S. G. EURYTA, Ad.). T. aciculata; Lam. B. Shell elongated, subulate. T. Senegalensis, Lam. G. Shell subulate, whorls flattened, usually striate at the suture. a. Aperture narrow. 1. Finely striate at the suture. T. cuspidata, Hinds. 2. Plications continuous from whorl to whorl. T. concinna. Desh. b. Aperture dilated at the base. 1. Whorls smooth or finely striate. T. cxrulescens, Lam. 2. Plications continuous from whorl to whorl. T. strigilata, Linn. TEREBRID.E. 7 D. Shell having the aperture oblong, narrow, the whorls numer- ous, grooved, plicated or cancellated. (MYURELLA, Hinds.) a. A spiral groove nearly equally dividing the whorls. T. duplicata, Lam. 6. Sutural portion (or band) narrow. T. dislocata^ Say. Second Division. (TEREBRA, Adams.) (No subdivisions). T.oculata, Lam. Reeve, who monographed Terebra in 1860, in his " Concho- logia Iconica," admits 155 species ; a considerable reduction on the number enumerated by Deshayes, nearly half of whose species are here made synonyms, after examining their types in the Cumingian Collection. Mr. Reeve says : " M. Deshayes was induced to undertake the investigation of the genus under circum- stances hardly favorable to the proper discrimination of the species. Specimens were transmitted to him in Paris, from the Cumingian Collection, and his means of comparison with the types of Mr. Hinds' species being necessarily limited, many that were already named were described by him as new, and many were described by him as new that a more extended series of specimens would have shown to be merely varieties. Out of 221 species cited by Deshayes, in his recent memoir, I have before me the original types and series of types of 214. All the figures of this monograph are drawn from the types them- selves, and no subsequently described species is quoted as a synonym, except as resulting from an actual comparison with the types." Mr. Reeve's monograph is certainly worked up with more than usual care and judgment ; nevertheless, he has made some erroneous identifications, as will be apparent in the course of the following pages. In the present monograph, notwithstanding the additional species described and figured since 1860, the synonymy is much enlarged, and the admitted species reduced to about 120; exclu- sive of about 50 species, described but not figured, and there- fore not susceptible of identification. Agreeing with Mr. Hinds that the species of Terebra cannot be advantageously divided into subgenera (with the exception of Euryta), 1 have essayed a classification by sections and sub- g TEREBRA. sections which will perhaps assist in grouping the species, although the presence of transitional forms makes the bounda- ries rather vague. Genus TEREBRA, Adanson. A. Whorls smooth, with or without a smooth sutural band, defined by a sulcus. B. Shell with plicate or tuberculate band below the sutures, defined by a sulcus. * Whorls plicate. ** Whorls smooth. *** Cylindrically many-whorled ; whorls with revolving sculpture, with or without less prominent longitu- dinal striae. C. No sutural band ; whorls closely plicate or striate next the suture, elsewhere plicate or smooth. Subgenus EURYTA, Adams. Genus TEREBRA, Adanson. A. Whorls smooth, with or without a smooth sutural band defined by a sulcus. T. CRENULATA. Linn. PI. 1, figs. 1, 2, 6. Whorls obtusely noduled below the sutures ; carneous cream- color, streaked with chestnut irregular lines between the nodules, and with three revolving rows of small chestnut spots below, two of which appear on the spire-whorls. Length, 3-5 inches. Indian Ocean — Central Polynesia. T.fimbriata, Deshayes (fig. 2) is a variety only, retaining the juvenile characters shown by the upper whorls of this and other smooth species of Terebra, namely, longitudinal plications and a strongly marked sutural band. T. interlineata, Desh. (fig. 6), is another example of the long persistence of juvenile characters, and may be equally referred here. T. TIARELLA, Desh. PI. 12, figs. 38, 39. First few whorls plicate, the rest smooth, with spiral impressed striae, sutural margin a little swollen and conspicuously nodu- lous; fulvous fawn or chocolate-colored. Length, 28-33 mill. Cape of Good TEREBRA. <) T. DIMIDIATA, Linn. PI. 1, figs. 13, 4. Reddish orange, banded with oblong spots on a white ground, sutural band orange-red ; upper whorls longitudinally plicate, lower ones smooth. Length, 3-5-5 inches. Singapore, Philippines, Central Polynesia. T. splendens, Desh. (fig. 4), from the China Sea, appears to be a small variety, the figure being natural size. T. MACULATA, Linn. PI. 1, figs. 9, 10. Flesh-white, broadly banded with fawn-color, the bands often broken up into oblong, close markings, with a band of longitu- dinal black-purple strigations next the sutures, and below it a second much smaller band of spots or hieroglyphic markings ; early whorls often longitudinally plicate ; balance smooth. Length, 4'5-6'5 inches. Moluccas, Australia, Philippines — Central Polynesia. Sometimes a spiral impressed line divides off' as a sutural band, the upper row of strigations. The Polynesians eat the animal, and use the shell shaped to a chisel in making canoes. T. MUSCARIA, Lam. PI. 1, fig. 12. Yellowish white, with a row of oblong bright chestnut spots on a sutural band, and two (on the body-whorl three) similar rows below it ; the spots are smaller and more widely separated than in the preceding species, and the form of the shell is nar- rower. Length, 3-6 inches. Japan, Philippines — Central Polynesia. Mr. Tapparone-Canefri's variety callichloros is founded on a narrow, brightly colored specimen figured by Quoy in the Voy. Astrolabe ; there is no good reason for giving it a name. T. CONSORS, Hinds. PL 3, figs. 32-34. Shell smooth, the sutural band distinct and obsoletely plicate ; whitish, with light chestnut obliquely longitudinal flames, inter- rupted on the periphery of the last whorl, below which they sometimes coalesce into a broad revolving band. Length, 2*75 inches. Society Islands. T. uirginea, Desh. (fig. 33), and T. glabra, Desh. (fig. 34), are both described from worn specimens in which the coloring is no 1 0 TEREBRA. longer very apparent, although Reeve has discovered traces of it upon the types. T. SUBULATA, Linn. PI. 1, fig. 3 ; PI. 3, fig. 35. Light flesh-color or yellowish, with two spiral series (on the last whorl three), of quadrangular distant chestnut or chocolate spots ; upper whorls longitudinally plicate, and with a sutural band ; in the later whorls this band is lost, but sometimes the whorls are somewhat swollen just beneath the sutures, although the impressed line defining the band is obsolete ; surface smooth, or with impressed (sometimes minutely punctate) revolving lines. Length, 4-6 inches. Japan, Moluccas, Philippines, Society Islands, etc. Yar. CONSOBRINA, Desh. PI. 3, fig. 35. More conically subulate than the type, with the spots smaller, the surface distantly encircled by punctate grooves, a sutural band slightly indicated. Red Sea. Barely distinguishable as a variety. T. TIGRINA, Gmelin. PI. 1, fig. 11. Shell white, with a single row of chestnut spots just above the sutures, two rows on the last whorl, of which the lower one, near the base, is smaller; surface smooth, an unornamented band below the sutures is defined by an impressed line. Length, 2-3 inches. Sandwich Islands, Central Polynesia. Reeve's locality, West Indies, is erroneous. T. OCULATA, Lam. PI. 2, fig. 20 ; PI. 3, fig. 36. Orange-brown, with a row of large white spots just below the sutures, and a second row below the middle of the body-whorl • whorls somewhat constricted in the middle. Length, 3*5-5 inches. Moluccas— Viti Islands. According to Reeve, who has seen the type, T. nebulosa Lorois (fig. 36), is the young of the species ; the name being pre- occupied, Deshayes changed it to T. Loroisii TEREBRA. ] I T. ARGUS, Hinds. PL 2, fig. 24. Earlier whorls with a sutural band ; whitish, with three rows of regularly disposed oval light fawn-colored spots, four rows on the body-whorl. Length, 3-4-5 inches. Marquesas, Tahiti. This is T. nebulosa, Kiener, not Sowerby. T. ROBUSTA, Hinds. PI. 2, figs. 16, 17, 25. Shell stout, with rugose growth-lines, earlier whorls plicate and with a sutural band ; whitish, with longitudinal chestnut flammules, interrupted by a central white line so as to form two spiral series, with an additional basal series on the body-whorl. Length, 4-5'5 inches. W. Coast of Central America. T. Loroisi, Guerin (not Desh.) = this species, and T. incom- parabilis, Desh., is probably a 3'oung individual. T. lingualis, Hinds (fig. 17), is also not fully grown, and is a narrow variety in which the juvenile characters persist longer than usual. T. insignis, Desh. (fig. 25) = it. T. CHLORATA, Lam. PI. 11, fig. 21. Shell smooth, whorls somewhat flattened, finely crenate towards the apex, sutural band defined by a superficial groove ; yellowish white, with longitudinal splashes of milky chocolate on and below the band, and two interrupted bands of spots of the same color upon the body-whorl. Length, 3-4 inches. Malacca, Seychelles, Mauritius, Sandwich Is. T. Knorri, Gray, is a synonym. T. ALBIDA, Gray. PI. 12, fig. 29. Whorls smooth, with a sutural band separated by a narrow depression ; ivory-white, sometimes faintly stained with rust- color. Length, 2 inches. Australia. T. FLAMMEA, Lamarck. PI. 2, fig. 26. Shell somewhat more slender than the preceding species, the oblique growth-lines ridge-like ; usualty a shallow broad groove in the middle of the whorls ; with occasional impressed spiral lines, of which one which divides the space above the central groove is more prominent ; j^ellowish white, interruptedly stri- gate with chestnut, often forming two interrupted bands on the spire whorls and three on the body-whorl. Length, 3'5-5 inches. Indian Ocean, China Sea, Madagascar. 12 TEREBRA. T. ORNATA, Gray. PL 2, fig. 28. Shell stout, sutures crenulated towards the apex, with a well- defined sutural band ; yellowish white, with three spiral series of regular chestnut spots, four on the body-whorl. Length, 4'5 inches. Galapagos Is. T. FORMOSA, Desh. PI. 2, fig. 27. Shell rather slender, with a somewhat swollen sutural band not clearly separated from the whorls by an impressed line ; upper whorls longitudinally plicate ; yellowish white, with small chestnut spots on the band, and larger longitudinal markings below it, a third inferior series on the body-whorl. Length, 2'75 inches. Panama. Described from a single specimen, and is possibly a young variety of T. robusta. T. STRIGATA, Sowb. PI. 2, fig. 29. Whorls divided by a median groove, the upper ones plicate; yellowish white, longitudinally striped with chestnut. Length, 3*5-5 5 inches. Panama, Realejo. Reeve gives Philippines (Gaming) and Moluccas as additional localities — which need confirmation. It is T. elongata, Wood, T. zebra, Kiener, and T. flammea. Lesson. T. CERETHINA, Lam. PL 2, fig. 30, 14. Upper whorls densely plicate, lower ones becoming smooth, with a sutural band bounded by an indistinct impressed line ; flesh-white, rather closely longitudinally strigate with flesh-color or orange, crossed by several distant narrow revolving lines of the same color. Length, 2-3 inches. Philippines to Society Is. T. pulchra, Hinds (fig. 14), is a synonym. T. LANCEATA, Linn. PL 11, fig. 10. Whorls smooth, flattened, a little swollen below the sutures, earlier whorls plicated ; white, crossed by narrow chestnut longi- tudinal streaks, interrupted at the periphery of the body-whorl by a white band. Length, 2-2-5 mill. • Taheiti, Moluccas, Mauritius. TEREBRA. 13 T. PENICILLATA, Hinds. PI. 11, fig. 11. Stouter with more convex whorls than the preceding species, the longitudinal chestnut lines crowded, much more numerous than in T. lanceata. Length, 2 inches. Seychelles, Mauritius. Kiener figured both this and the succeeding varieties as T. lanceata, and von Martens, in his " Conchology of Mauritius," has recently so considered them : my material does not support this view ; yet their substantial identity is not improbable. Yar. VENOSA, Hinds. PI. 11, figs. 12, 13. White, banded with light chocolate, with chestnut longitudinal lines ; first whorls plicate, the others smooth, divided at the upper part by a row of punctures ; sometimes all the whorls are plicate. Length, 1-1-5 inches. Indian Ocean. Reeve remarks that " when plicately ribbed throughout, the shell, like the granulated varieties of Cones, is smaller than when it is smooth." One of these small, plicated shells has been described by Deshayes as T. Crossei (fig. 13). When the shell is plicate upon the lower whorls it appears to be the result of the impression of the chestnut streaks, which form the interstices of the plicae. T. BRAZIERI, Angas. PL 11. fig. 14. Narrow, smooth, first whorls plicate, the others somewhat tumid or very shortly obsoletely plicate below the sutures ; whitish, promiscuously longitudinally veined with chestnut, the strigations more numerous on the upper part of the whorls ; body-whorl with a white band on the peripher}T, and below it a row of chestnut spots, sometimes coalescing into a chestnut band. Length, 1-1 '5 inches. New South Wales, Tasmania. This is, perhaps, a variety of T. lanceata. T. ciRCUMCiNCTA, Deshayes. PL 11, figs. 8, 9. White, with a few irregular yellowish streaks ; whorls flatly convex, with four to six equidistant, pricked, linear revolving grooves. Length, 40 mill. Red Sea (Deshayes); Port Curtis, Australia (Stutchbury;. Reef e's figure (fig. 9) does not agree well with his description, nor with the figure given by Deshayes. j^ TEREBRA. B. Shell with plicate or tuberculate band below the sutures, defined by a sulcus. * Whorls plicate. T. AFFINIS, Gray. PI. 2, figs. 22, 18. Whorls with distinct subsutural band, covered with flat longi- tudinal ribs, separated by narrow impressed, often punctate lines ; flesh-color, sparingly mottled with light chocolate or chestnut oblong markings and with a few distant revolving lines of the same color. Length, l'5-2'25 inches. Philippines, Seychelles, Viti Isles. It is T. eburnea, Hinds (fig. 18), T. striata, Quoy, T. pertusa, Kiener, var. T. VARIEGATA, Gray. PL 2, figs. 15, 19, 21, 23; PL 1, figs. 5, 7, 8; PL 3, figs. 31,37,38. -Spirally grooved, more or less longitudinally plicate on the upper, sometimes on all the whorls, sometimes becoming granular at the intersections of the sculpture, a swollen callous band below the sutures ; whitish, marked with chestnut between the plica- tions of the band, strigated with chestnut below it, with a central white band on the body-whorl, beneath which is a second series of strigations. Length, 2*5-3'25 inches. Mazatlan, Guaymas, Lower and Southern California, Panama, Galapagos Is., China, Sea, W. Africa. T. armillata, Hinds (figs. 21,23), T. Hupei, Lorois (fig. 5), T. aspera, Hinds (fig. 7), T. Petiveriana, Desh. (fig. 31), and T. glauca, Hinds (fig. 19), are synonyms. The following unfigured species, described by P. P. Carpenter, and which are smaller than the type, being but little over an inch in length, may constitute a minor variety. They occur at Mazatlan and extend northwards to Southern California : T. albocincta, T. Hindsi, T. subnodosa, T. rufocinerea; T. simplex, from Sta. Barbara and S. Pedro, Cal. Yery probably the more northern distribution of this form of an essentially tropical genus will account for the smaller size of the* specimens occurring on the California Coast ; they are precisely like T. variegata of the same size and number of whorls, but seem not to grow larger. To the above numerous synonyms from the West Coast of America are to be added T. albicostata, Adams and Reeve (fig. TEREBRA. 1 o 8), from China Sea, and T. Africana, Gray, T. intertincta, Hinds (tig. 37), and T. marginata, Desh. (fig. 38), from West Africa. There can be little doubt of the identity of these species with T. variegata, and of the extensive distribution thus indicated — it is paralleled in other species of the genus as will be seen hereafter. T. GOULDI, Desh. PL 3, fig. 39. Whorls with a subsutural, nodulous band, closely longitu- dinally plicate below it ; yellowish white, two-banded with very pale chestnut, three bands on the body-whorl. Length, 2-5 inches. Sandwich Islands. T. aciculina, Kiener, var. (t. 7, f. 13 a), is probably a young shell of this species. T. CONCINNA, Desh. PI. 12, figs. 31, 32. Longitudinally finely plicated throughout, with a suturai band defined by a groove ; yellowish flesh-cplor, the ribs lighter, with a row of chestnut spots below the suture. Length, 40 mill. Japan. T. Dillwyni, Desh. (fig. 32), is a synonj^m. Reeve erro- neously made T. concinna a synonym of T. strigilata, Linn., and Pease changed the name to T. divisa on account of Euccinum concinnum, Dillwyn. T. MARMORATA, Desh. PI. 12, fig. 34. Longitudinally plicate, pricked in spiral series in the inter- stices, the upper and more profound row indicating a suturul band ; whitish, somewhat tessellated with large chestnut blotches, darker-spotted on the suturai margin, with a white band on the periphery of the body-whorl. Length, 1 '25-1*5 inches. Port Curtis, Australia (Stutchbury). T. BADIA, Desh. PI. 3, fig. 40. Chocolate-colored, including the interior; longitudinally pli- cated, including a subsutural band, body-whorl somewhat ven- tricose, with several spiral granular striae on the lower part. Length, 2'5 mill. China. It is T. castanea, Hinds, not Kiener; altered by Deshayes as above, and by Reeve to T. ligneola. 16 TEREBRA. T. SENEGALENSIS, Lam. PL 3, figs. 41-45 ; PL 12, fig. 33. Shell with a subsutnral band, surface varying from nearly smooth, showing only longitudinal flexuous growth-stria?, to longitudinally plicate; yellowish white, more or less inter- ruptedly three-banded with pale or dark chestnut or chocolate, four or five bands on the body-whorl; sometimes the darker coloring suffuses the entire surface. Length, 3-4 inches. Senegal, etc., West Africa. It is T. striatula, Lam., T. fu.scomacula.ta, Sowb. ; probably T. pugio, Gmel., T. f estiva, Desh. (fig. 45), T. speciosa, Desh. T. raphanula, Lam. (PL 12, fig. 33), said to occur at Amboina, has the markings somewhat tessellately arranged ; a good series of specimens easily connect it with the typical coloring. T. CINGULA, Kiener. PL 12, figs. 2T, 28. First whorls plicately ridged, the rest smooth, with a more or less defined sutural band ; light fawn-color, encircled by two or three rows of chestnut blotches, forming interrupted bands. Length, 3 inches. Senegal (Kiener) ; St. Christopher, W. I. (Miller). Closely allied to, and perhaps only a variety of, the preceding species. It is T. fatua, Hinds (fig. 28), the latter being simply more faded in coloring. T. PURA, Deshayes. PL 12, fig. 30. Whitish, shining; obsoletely banded at the suture by an impressed groove, obliquely longitudinally plaited, plaits rather distant, thin, gradually fading towards the aperture. Length, 2*5 inches. m Zanzibar. T. TROCHLEA, Desh. PL 12, fig. 35. Longitudinally plicate, a depressed sutural band separated by a broad, profound sulcus, from the rest of the whorl, which is convex, this band is nodulous, the nodules becoming evanescent on the last whorl; maculate and flammulate with chestnut and white. Length, 65 mill. T. DUSSUMIERI, Kiener. PL 3, figs. 46-48. Closely narrowly longitudinally plicate, the ridges becoming partially obsolete on a subsutnral band; pale chestnut with a TEREBRA. 17 white band below the middle of the whorls, and whitish on and just below the band. Length, 3-4 inches. China, Japan. Too close!}' allied to T. duplicata, Lam. The white band, however, is rather broader, the plications narrower, sharp-edged and partially obsolete on the band — which is somewhat concave. T. evoluta, Deshayes (fig. 47), described from a single specimen in the Cumingian Collection, appears to be only a slight varia- tion of the typical form ; another variety is T. Bernardii, Desh. (fig. 48). T. DUPLICATA, Linn. PL 4, figs. 49-51. Flatly longitudinally ribbed, divided by an impressed line below the sutures, forming a sutural band ; grayish or blush- white to chestnut or chocolate, with a single narrow median white band. Length, 2'5-3*5 inches. Moluccas, Singapore, Zanzibar, Madagascar, China to Viti Islands, etc. T. Eee^ei, Deshaj'es (fig. 50;, is a colorless example. Yar. JJAMARCKII, Kiener. Fig. 51. The white band filleted with chestnut or purplish spots in a single somewhat distant series. T. ANOMALA, Gray. PL 12, fig. 36. Smooth, polished, whorls plicate above, divided by an im- pressed, punctate line near the suture; cinereous or fawn-color, lighter on the sutural band, with a whitish band on the periphery. Length, 1*5 inches. Singapore, 7 fms. (Cum ing). Reeve confounded this species with the shell which he erro- neously refers to aciculina, Lam., and which must stand as wirulina, Reeve — Lamarck's shell being a synonym of T. dnerea, Born. The -present species is readily distinguished by its sutural band. T. SPECTABILIS, Hinds. PL 4, figs. 52-57. Ribs distant, thin, subnodulous above and below a deep groove which divides oft' a sutural band ; leaden or chestnut- I g TEREBRA. brown, usually nearly white on the sutural band, and with a central white band on the body-whorl. Length, 1-25-2 inches. Guinea (Humphreys); Sumatra (Cuming); Tasmania (Woods). T. Jukesii, Desh. (fig. 54), appears to me to be a synonym; as are also T. addita, Desh. (fig. 55), T. geminata, Desh. (unfig- ured), probably T. Kieneri, De^h. (fig. 56), and T. gracilis, Reeve, not Gray (fig. 57). T. LONGISCATA, Desh. PI. 4, fig. 58. With a sutural band defined by a groove, strongly plicately ribbed, the ribs rather angular, the interstices with elevated revolving striae ; livid fuscous gray. Length, 27 mill. Philippines (Cuming). T. USTULATA, Desh. PI. 4, fig. 59. Sutural band depressed, longitudinally ribbed ; pale chestnut or whitish, the depressed band and lower half of the body-whorl darker brown. Length, 32-38 mill. Tasmania. In coloring and form somewhat like the next species. T. GEMMULATA, Kiener. PI. 4, figs. 61, 62. Shell longitudinally, narrowly, distantly plicate, plicae curved, terminating in nodules below the groove of the sutural band, the band also bearing a single row of nodules ; yellowish white, the lower row of nodules white, with a rather broad white band on the middle of the body-whorl, below which the whorl is smooth and chestnut-colored. Length, 45 mill. Chili. Reeve, who saw the original specimen of the unfigured T. Chilensis, Desh., adds it to the synonymy. Yery probably T. Patagonia, d'Orb. (fig. 62), should be added as a colorless specimen. T. DISLOCATA, Say. PI. 4, figs. 63-67, 69 ; PI. 12, fig. 31. Longitudinally plicate, spirally grooved ; sometimes the grooves are only perceptible between the plicae, in others they decussate the latter into granules ; sutural band nodulous ; colu- mella recurved, ridged ; gray, brownish white or light yellowish, with usually a white-banded periphery. Length, 25-35 mill. North Carolina to West Indies. The certain synonyms are T. rudis, Gray (fig. 69), T. Petiti. TEREBRA. 19 Kiener (fig. 64), and T. Souleyeti, Desh. (fig. 65). I think it probable that T. larvaeformis, Hinds (figs. 66, 67), of the West Coast of Central America, should also be here referred ; I cannot detect any specific differences. T. Sowerbyana, Desh. (PL 12, fig. 31), from West Africa, appears to be also identical. T. MARIESI, E. A. Smith. PL 4, fig. 68. Longitudinally costate, with traces of spiral lines, the costse ending in tubercles below the also tuberculate sutural band ; yellowish brown, variegated with reddish brown. Length, 45 mill. Japan . Very closely allied to the preceding species, but narrower. The aperture appears to be imperfect in the specimen figured. T. JEFFREYSII, E. A. Smith. PL 4, fig. 60. Longitudinal riblets about 20, fine, oblique, decussated by spiral striae, about 5 on a whorl, the two uppermost strife widest apart forming two nodulous bands next the suture ; yellowish, dotted with light brown between the two series of nodules, and streaked with the same color beneath, body-whorl with a pale central zone. Length, 25 mill. Japan. This, the preceding and following species, should probably be united. T. SUBTEXTILIS, Smith. PL 4, fig. 70. White ; with about twenty costse, and ten spiral strise, three of the latter upon the nodulous sutural band. Length, 37 mill. Japan. See remarks under preceding species. T. BIFRONS, Hinds. PL 4, fig. 71. Fawn-brown, obscurely rufous-banded ; whorls somewhat con- vex, encircled with four rows of pale granules, last whorl many- grained ; sutural band only faintly indicated by a concavity, instead of a groove. Length, 2 inches, Japan. T. AMCENA, Deshayes. PL 5, fig. 73.

Macassar ; Sandwich Islands. T. nodularis, Desh. (fig. 76), is a synonym. T. CCELATA, Adams and Reeve. PI. 5, fig. 77. Surface sharply granulated by longitudinal and spiral sculp- ture ; transparent white. Length, 41 mill. China. Has the form of the preceding species, from which it is, per- haps, insufficiently distinguished by the non-development of the inferior band of tubercles. T. TORQUATA, Ads. and Reeve. PI. 5, fig. 78. Longitudinal plicae narrow, raised, interstices spirally striate- latticed ; next the suture are two nodulous bands, separated by a sulcus, the periphery is subangulated and slightly nodulous on the angle, between this and the sutural band the surface is some- what concave ; fawn-colored, the sculpture lighter, a white band below the periphery. Length, 44 mill. * Japan. A very distinct, beautiful species. T. BICINCTA, Hinds. PI. 5, fig. 79. White ; with thin longitudinal plicae, and no spiral sculpture ; TEREBRA. 21 sutural band tuberculate, and with the plicae below it cut into a couple of revolving rows of tubercles. Length, 28 mill. Habitat unknown. Described from a unique specimen in the Cumingian Collection. T. COPULA, Hinds. PL 5, fig. 80.

Interstices of the ribs linearly grooved, sutural band defined by a punctate groove ; columella laminated, twisted ; rose-color. Length, 28 mill. Soolo and China Sea. T. SWAINSONI, Deshayes. PL 5, fig. 81. Light roseate, nearly white on the sutural band, the interstices of the ribs smooth, or obscurely striate, polished. Length, 20-32 mill. Sandwich Islands. Possibly identical with the preceding species. Pease has described a variety inflexa. The same author has described (but not figured) a T. sulcata, which he sa}rs may prove to be a distant form of T. Swainsoni. •m T. ELATA, Hinds. PL 5, fig. 82. Spirally linearly grooved between the longitudinal plications, the beaded sutural band separated by a well-impressed groove ; 22 TEREBRA. chestnut-white or brownish white, with a darker band below the periphery. Length, 23 mill. Panama and Bay of Montija, Cent. Am. T. CANCELLATA, Quoy. PI. 5, figs. 83, 84, 86 ; PI. 6, figs. 92-97, 100-3, 6. Yellowish white, orange, chestnut or chocolate-color, the nodu- lous sutural band white, often with a white band below the periphery; plications close, rounded, curved, the narrow inter- stices closely striate ; margins of aperture as well as the interior often stained with a darker color. Length, 44 mill. Moluccas, Philippines, Viti Isles, Sandwich Isles. M. Deshayes, supposing that the figure in the Thes. Conch, (fig. 83) does not represent this species, has called it T. undatella. T. livida, Reeve (fig. 86), appears to me to be a form of this species ; it comes from the Philippines. T. subangulata, Desh. (fig. 92), described from a single specimen, also probably belongs here. A slight variety is T. columellaris, Hinds (fig. 93), of which T. areolata, Adams and Reeve (fig. 94) is probably a synonym — as stated by Reeve, although Deshayes considers the two forms distinct. I add as synonyms T. flavescens, Desh. (fig. 95) ; T. approxi- mata, Desh. (fig. 96), which has ruder coarser sculpture, and is a stouter shell ; T.flava, Gray (fig. 6), an immature shell ; T. lutes- cens, E. A. Smith (fig. 97), founded on Sowerby's figure of T. flava in the Thes. Conch., which Mr. Smith considers specifically distinct from the figure in Reeve's Iconica; T. puncticulata, Desh. (fig. 100) ; T. Peasei, Deshayes (unfigured) ; T. Hindsi, Desh. (fig. 1) ; T. Bruguieri, Desh. (fig. 2) ; and T. difficilis, Desh. (fig. 3.) T. UNDULATA, Gray. PI. 6, figs. 4, 8. Ribs rather large, rounded, close, with spiral stria* on the narrow interstices, sutural band well-marked, forming a slight, nodulous shoulder to the whorls ; yellowish or orange, the inter- stices deeper-colored, appearing as though longitudinally stri- gate, band white, sometimes white-banded on the periphery ; aperture rather narrow, the lips often stained with orange-red. Length, 41 mill. Viti Isiands^ philippines. Perhaps a variety of the preceding. T. picta, Hinds (fig. 8), TEREBRA. 23 is probably a synonym. T. cinctella, Desh., an unfigured spe- cies, is added by Reeve. T. PERTUSA, Born. PL 6, figs. 5, 7. Longitudinally finely plicate, interstices punctate spirally; orange-brown, the interstices of the tubercles on the sutural band chocolate. Length, 3 inches. Darnley Isl., Australia. T. Bermonti, Lorois (fig. 7), is a synonym. It is said to in- habit Tahiti. T. NEBULOSA, Sowb. PI. 6, fig. 9. Longitudinal ribs rounded obtuse, close, curved, interstices spirally grooved, sutural band defined by a punctate groove; longitudinally clouded with reddish orange and white, with a white band on the periphery. Length, 3 inches. Zanzibar. T. ALVEOLATA, Hinds. PI. 5, fig. 87. Longitudinal plicre curved, the interstices spirally striate ; flesh-color, stained with orange-brown, with a row of alternate chestnut and white spots on the sutural band, and another on the white-banded periphery. Length, 31 mill. Straits of Malacca ; Japan. Var. GOTOENSIS, Smith. PI. 5, figs. 85, 91. Sculpture said to be finer than in T. alveolata, the band on the periphery unspotted. From Japan. It is very doubtful whether to these forms ought not to be united T. amcena, Desh. T. POLYGYRATA, Desh. PL 7, fig. 10. Closely ribbed, interstices linearly grooved, sutural band de- fined by a pricked groove ; fulvous orange, white at the sutures, with a white band on the periphery. Length, 13 mill. Philippines (Cuming) ; Japan (Smith). A small shell with numerous whorls, perhaps not distinct from T. cancellata. T. POLYGONIA, Reeve. PL 7, fig. 15. Strongly varicosely ribbed, ribs rather distant, interstices concave, spirally linearly grooved, sutural band distinct ; fulvous brown. Length, 10 mill. Hab. unknown (Taylor Coll.). I am not acquainted with this species. 24 TEREBRA. T. RADULA, Hinds. PL 7, fig. 17. Sutural band and whorls strongly tuberculated by decussating sculpture ; reddish chestnut, white at the suture, with a white periphery-band. Length, 40 mill. Puerto Portrero, W.

Length, 2 inches. Panama (Cuming) ; San Bias (Hinds). T. PLICATA, Gray. PI. 7, fig. 20. Yellowish flesh-color; whorls slopingly flattened, the last swollen, longitudinally thinly plicated, spirally very finely prickly-grooved, sutural band distinct. Length, 2 inches. Guayaquil, 7 fms., sandy mud (Cuming). Appears to be distinguished chiefly by its stout form. T. SPECILLATA, Hinds. PI. 7, fig. 18. Latticed by longitudinal and spiral sculpture, whitish, with a few large chestnut maculations ; sutural margin irregularly chestnut-spotted. Length, 2 inches. San Bias, W. Coaxt of Mexico. Very closely allied to T. dislocata, Say, and to T. cancellata, Quoy, which are possibly identical. T. CONSPERSA, Hinds. PI. 7, fig. 13. Whitish, irregularly chestnut-spotted on the sutural band, TEREBRA. 25 and chestnut-banded at the base ; plications thin, the interstices closely striate spirally. Length, 1 inch. -Philippines. T. FICTILIS, Hinds. PL 7, figs. 14, 11. Whitish, purple-ash below the periphery, the latter appearing as a narrow band at the base of the spire-whorls. Length, 15 mill. Australia. A beautiful little species, well distinguished by its contrasted coloring. T. bicolor, Angas (fig. 11;, is a synonym. T. TAYLORI, Reeve. PI. 7, fig. 22. Rather stout towards the base, purple ash-color, livid, obscurely banded ; sutural band yellowish. Length, 26 mill. Torres Straits, Australia. The form is swollen below, resembling the preceding species. T. MORBIDA, Reeve. PI. 7, fig. 23. Stoutly, closely plicate, the sutural band broadly defined by a groove ; purplish flesh-color, encircled by faint red spots. Length, 15 mill. Hab. unknown. The spots do not appear upon Reeve's figure. The type speci- men was in the Taylor Collection. T. BREVICULA, Desh. PL 7, fig. 24. Sutural band swollen, scarcely crenatecl, defined by a broad concave depression, below it the body-whorl is slopingly convex, somewhat angulated on the periphery, where it is somewhat distantly plicately tuberculated ; lead-color, white-banded at the suture and on the periphery, the latter filleted with chestnut on both margins. Length, 23 mill. Tasmania. T. PROTEXTA, Conrad. PL 6, fig. 98. Whorls rather convex, with curved, sharp, numerous small plications, the interstices smooth or very minutely spirally striate, a sutural band is sometimes obscure^ indicated, but is usually absent; chocolate, or dark brownish white, chocolate within the aperture. Length, 18-25 mill. West Coast of Florida. T. CONCAVA, Say. PL 7, figs. 25, 26. Shell white ; with a prominent row of nodules below the suture, and a less prominent row above it, the last forming a 26 TEREBRA. peripheral row on the last whorl ; between these two the surface is concave, obsoletely ribbed and finely spirally striated. Length, 20 mill. So- Carolina. T. frigata, Hinds (fig. 26), is probably a synonym ; it is ascribed to Africa (Gray), and Galapagos Is. (Cuming) : both localities need confirmation. ** Whorls smooth. T. CORRUGATA, Lam. PL 7, figs. 21, 28, 32. Fulvous cream or ash-color, with two or three bands of chest- nut spots ; sutural band often lighter-colored, with small chestnut spots, tuberculate. Length, 2'25-3 inches. Loanda, W. Africa. The synonyms are T. regina, Desh. (fig. 28), T. bitorquata, Desh. (fig. 32', and T. punctata, Gray. T. TESSELLATA, Gray. PL 7, figs. 27, 19. Shell whitish, with two rows of oblong chestnut or chocolate spots ; whorls concavely flattened, decussated by fine ridges, the spiral ones stronger, suture bordered by two tuberculated bands. Length, 35 mill. Marquesas (Hinds). The description is drawn up from T. ligata, Hinds (fig. 19), which appears to be the typical form. T. tessellata, Gray, no locality, is from a single specimen in the British Museum ; the whorls are said to be smooth, but the resemblance to Hinds' species, over which it has priority of description, is striking. T. DECORATA, Desh. PL 7, fig. 16. Whitish, with two series (on the body-whorl three) of chest- nut quadrangular spots; whorls smooth, longitudinally striated, marginal band tuberculated. Length, 28 mill. Pidang, Sumatra. Reeve figures this species under the name of T. tessellata, Gray, which has a double band of tubercles. T. HISTRIO, Desh. PL 7, fig. 29. Yellowish, with waved longitudinal chestnut stripes, interrupted at the periphery ; longitudinally striate, the stria becoming pli- cations upon the sutural band, where the surface is variegated with chestnut lines. Length, 45 mill. Hab. unknown TEREBRA. 27 *** Cylindrically many whorled, whorls with revolving sculp- ture, with or without less prominent longitudinal stride. T. MYUROS, Lam. PI. 7, fig. 30. Whorls flattened, closely scabrously latticed with striae, the revolving striae much the most prominent, above with two obliquely plicate sutural bands, the inferior one of which is often more or less obsolete ; light yellowish brown, usually lon- gitudinally striped with broad chestnut maculations. Length, 4-5 inches. Moluccas, New Ireland. This may be T. strigilata, Gmel., in part, and is possibly also T. commaculata, Gmel. T. scabrella, Lam,, is undoubtedly a synonym. T. PRETIOSA, Reeve. PI. 8, figs. 33, 34. Whorls convexly flattened, arcuately striated by growth-lines, the interstices latticed, double-banded and tuberculated below the suture ; yellowish, with broad chestnut longitudinal blotches. Length, 5'5 inches. China* I think that T. lima, Deshayes (fig. 34), from same locality, is identical. T. CINGULIFERA, Lam. PI. 8, figs. 35-38. Shell smooth, distantly spirally superficial!}' grooved, grooves often minutely punctate, the upper groove a little deeper, indi- cating a sutural band, upon which the growth-lines become oblique and subplicate ; yellowish flesh-color. Length, 3*25 inches. Philippines, New Ireland, Viti Islands, China. The synonyms are T. Chinensis, Desh. (unfigured), T. colum- naris, Desh. (unfigured), T.pallida, Desh. (fig. 36), T. crenifera, Desh. (unfigured), T. punctatostriata, Gray (unfigured), and T. punctulata, Sowb. (unfigured). T. Isevigata, Gra}- (fig. 37), is a rather narrow form, and T. obsoleta, Desh. (fig. 38), is a wider specimen than usual, with a very faint indication of a brown band near the base. T. TRICOLOR, Sowb. PI. 8, fig. 39. Shell smooth, yellowish flesh-color with three distant orange- 28 TEREBR\. red revolving lines, one of them defining a sutnral band, which is often white. Length, 2 inches. Friendly Islands. Closely related to both the preceding and following species- winch may need to be united when we know more about them. T. tseniolata, Quoy, is a synonym. T. BABYLONIA, Lamarck. PL 8, figs. 40, 41. Flesh-red, overlaid more or less with white ; smooth or spirally striated, with distant grooves, becoming closer at the base of the body-whorl, the grooves often darker - colored ; aperture orange-brown. Length, 2'5 inches. China, Viti Islands. T. Deshayesii, Reeve (fig. 41), is a synonym. T. STRAMINEA, Gray. PI. 8, figs. 42-45, 47, 48. Yellowish brown or livid ash-color, the upper sutural band generally lighter -colored ; surface crossed by revolving grooves and striae, the latter sometimes granulated by the intersection of growth-lines, the former rather distant; with two sutural bands, the upper one swollen, the inferior one much smaller, and both covered by oblique plications. Length, 2-5 inches. Philippines, China. Will probably prove to be a variety of the preceding species. It is T. Babylonia, var., of Kiener, T. circinata, Desh. (fig. 44), T. acuta, Desh. (fig 45), and T. monilis, Quoy (figs. 47, 48). T. CUMINGII, Desh. PI. 8, fig. 49. Sharply granosely cancellated throughout, with two tubercu- lated bands next the suture, the lower one much the smallest ; straw-colored. Length, 3'75 inches. China. Probably only a variety of the preceding species. T. FENESTRATA, Hinds. PI. 8, fig. 46. Strongly latticed throughout, with a crenated sutural baud ; transparent fulvous or fulvous brown. Length, 35 mill. Ifab. unknown. This shell does not appear to have any marked specific char- acter. TEREBRA. 29 T. L;JBBECKEANA, D linker. PL 8, fig. 50. Whitish, tinged with light yellowish brown, with a wide, faint band of the latter color ; subgranose by rather faint intersecting striae ; sutural band slightly separated by a groove. Length, 75 mill. Japan. T. SUCCINEA, Hinds. PL 8, fig. 51. Whorls doubly banded below the suture, orange-red with two distant rows of small chestnut spots ; closely arcuately wrinkled. Length, 3*75 inches. Philippines. Dr. von Martens (Mauritius, 231) makes this a synonym of T. monilis, Quoy, to which it does not appear to me to be very closely related. T. FORTUNEI, Deshayes. PL 8, fig. 52. White, with slightly convex whorls, strongly longitudinally ribbed, the interstices latticed with spiral ridges, sutures deep, below them a band indicated by a pricked spiral groove. Length, 69 mill. China Sea. A unique shell in the Cumingian Collection. T. SEROTINA, Ads. and lleeve. PL 8, fig. 53. Light brown, whorls spirally striately ridged, with two bands of nodules below the suture, the upper band the largest. Length, 2 inches. Japan. T. FUNTCULATA, Hinds. PL 9, fig. 60. Shell light chestnut-brown, sharply and closely spirally ridged, the two ridges nearest the suture wider. Length, 2 inches. Marquesas Islands (Curning). T. Archimedis, Desh. (unfigured), is a synonym according to Reeve. T. ALBOMARGINATA, Desll. PL 9, fig. 54. Whorls flat, bright orange, upper part white, divided by a groove, each side of which is crenated, below the groove spirally ridged, the interstices pricked. Length, 1*75 inches. China. T. EXIMTA, Desh. PL 9, fig. 55. Yellowish white, the sutural band dotted with orange-chestnut 30 TEEEBRA. and somewhat noduled ; below the band are three granular ridges with pricked interstices ; lower part of body-whorl striate. Length, 1-75 inches. Hab. unknown. Described from a unique specimen. T. AMANDA, Hinds. PI. 9, fig. 61. Orange-colored, with two white bands of tubercles below the suture, balance of the surface punctate, grooved. Length, 1 inch. Straits of Macassar. Described from two immature specimens. Perhaps = T. stra- minea, Gray. T. TRTSERIATA, Gray. PL 9, figs. 56, 57. Fulvous white or straw-color, narrow, whorls numerous, flatly concave, spirally ridged, sometimes decussated by longitudinal sculpture, with two bands of nodules below the suture, and a single smaller row on the periphery of the last whorl. Length, 2-4 inches. Philippines (Cuming), Port Curtis, Australia (Stutchbury). The latter locality is for T. prselonga, Desh. (fig. 57), which does not appear to me to differ. C. No sutural band, closely striate or plicate next the suture; balance of whorl smooth or plicate. T. C^RULESCENS, Lam. PI. 10, figs. 75-77 ; PL 9, fig. 66. Shell smooth, without infra-sutural band, but usually with a narrow callous • deposit forming a more or less defined band above the narrow sutural groove; whitish, spotted or clouded with chocolate below the suture, the clouds sometimes forming a wide band, or covering the upper half of the body- whorl, or even extending to the base ; when well covered with chocolate there is often a lighter band upon the periphery. Length, 1-5-2-5 inches. Australia; Philippines; Polynesia; Mauritius ; Red Sea. The whorls are flattened, and scarcely impressed at the sutures. This species is the type of Mr. E. A. Smith's subgenus Impages, characterized by the callous deposit above the sutures ; but this peculiarity is not even constant in this species, and is rare or not TEREBRA. 8. developed in the other species which Mr. Smith refers to group. It is T. niveum and Tf edentulum, of Gmelin, T. bifasciatum, Dillw., T.fusca, Martyn (in part), T. Otaiens'is, Lesson, T.hecti- cum, Linn, (teste Hanley). Von Martens calls Kiener's fig. 12 d var. fl&mmulata ; another variety is T. nimbosa, Hinds, from the Red^Sea (fig. 66). T. CINEREA, Born. PI. 9, figs. 67, 58, 59, 62-65, 68-74; PI. 10, fig. 78. Shell smooth, but closely, minutely longitudinally plicated beneath the sutures ; yellowish ash-color, lighter upon the sutural plications — where there are sometimes light chestnut spots arranged in a single series, usually faintly whitish-banded at the periphery ; aperture light chestnut-color, showing the light band. Length, l'5-2'25 inches. W. Africa, West Indies, Japan, Philippines, Polynesia. The distribution of this species is nearly world-wide in warm seas. I have endeavored in vain to find distinguishing charac- teristics for the species which, under various names have been assigned to distant localities, but I am compelled to follow Reeve in classing them all as synonyms. This large synonymy includes T. Jamaicensis, C. B. Ad. (fig. 58); T. strigilata, var., Gmel. : T. stylata, Hinds (fig. 59), from Philippines ; T. laurina, Hinds (fig. 63), from W. Africa ; T. castanea, Kiener (fig. 68), also from W. Africa ; T. aciculina, Lam. (not of Reeve or Hinds) ; T. mi- cans, Hinds (fig. 64 j, Reeve, in part — some of his figures repre- senting T. cuspidata, Hinds ; T. Adansoni, Desh. (unfigured, but; said by Reeve, who saw the type, to = micans) ; T. apicina, Desh. (fig. 69), from Singapore ; T. dispar, Desh. (fig. 70) ; T. Philippiana, Desh. (fig. 62), Philippines ; T. bacillus, Desh. (figs. 65, 71), Sandwich Isles, and T. lactea, Desh. (fig. 72), a colorless state of the same ; T. acuminata, Gr&y (fig. 73) ; T. Salleana, Deshayes (fig. 78), Mexico, Haiti; and T. parva, Baird (fig. 74), from New Caledonia. The figure of the last-named species does not show the superior plications, but the text describes them. Var. CUSPJDATA, Hinds. PI. 10, figs. 80, 79. Whitish or tinged with light yellow, the light band on the 32 TEREBRA. periphery scarcely distinguishable, but below it a narrow chestnut band. ^ ^^ Q/ ^.^ T. Traillii, Desh. (fig. 79), from the Indian Ocean, is a very similar shell, and may connect this variety with the type. T. ACICULINA, Reeve. PL 10, figs. 81, 82. Shell evenly plicate, the plicaB small, short, or usually covering the entire shell ; aperture peculiarly broadly dilated at the base ; usually chocolate or ash-color, white-banded at the suture, and on the periphery of the body-whorl, the interstices of the plica- tions reddish chestnut on the margins of the bands, as if fasci- culated ; sometimes the general color is pale, almost white, deepened here and there, especially below the peripheral white band, so as to appear like a colored band ; interior chestnut-red, white-banded. Length, 1*5 inch. Singapore, Manilla, Marquesas, Sandwich Ides. Usually distinguished by color, longer plications, broad base, smaller size, from the preceding species. Reeve has figured and described it as T. aciculina, Lam., but Mr. E. A. Smith has shown that Lamarck's species is really T. cinerea, Born. Hinds, on the other hand, has referred the present species to T. cinerea, for which he figures it. Mr. Smith has thought fit to impose a new name, T. confusa, which appears to me to be quite unnec- essary, as, even if the name aciculina cannot be used, as of Reeve, not Lamarck, there is another, older name given to the species, T. inconstans, Hinds (fig. 82). I prefer to retain aci- culina, because the species is universally known under that name. The unfigured T. Matheroniana, Desh., was referred by Reeve, in his Iconica, both to this species and to T. strigilata, but in his index he removes it from the synonymy of the latter. Pease considers it a synonym of strigilata, and not of aciculina, and Smith believes it to be a distinct species. In the absence of a figure, I have no means of arriving at a judgment upon the matter, further than that the description appears to apply best to T. stricjilata. T. anomala, Gray, was here referred by Reeve, but it differs in having a sutural band, defined by a groove. T. LUCTUOSA, Hinds. PI. 10, fig. 83. Shell narrowly subulate, smooth, with fine spiral stride under TEREBRA. 33 the lens, puckered at the sutures into close, small longitudinal plications ; deep chocolate-colored, including the interior of the aperture. Length, 1-25-1-75 inches. Gulf of Nicoya to Mazatlan, W. Coast of N. America. Reeve makes this a synonj'm of T. cinerea, Born ; but it is more subulate, the color uniform, the plications smaller, closer, longer and more waved. None of the specimens before rne show any bands. T. STRIGILATA, Linn. PL 10, figs. 84. 85, 88. Shell highly polished, regularly flatly longitudinally plicate, the plicae usually extending below the middle of the body-whorl ; fawn or ash-color, white-banded at the suture, with a row of square chestnut spots on the band ; body-whorl white-banded at the periphery and darker-colored below the band ; aperture rather narrowed below ; chestnut, with a median white band. Length, 1/25-1 '7 5 inches. Polynesia, Sandwich Islands. A narrower, more cylindrical species than T. cinerea^ from which it differs also in its regular, longer, coarser plications, and brighter coloring. It has several synonyms : T. strigilata (striatula) , Kiener, in part, T. Argenvillei, Desh. (unfigured), T. acumen, Desh. (unfigured), T. modesta, Desh. (unfigured), mouth of the Indus; all made S3'nonyms by Reeve, who examined the types ; T. concinna, Dillwyn (not Deshayes), T. Verreauxi, Desh. (fig. 85), T. Mather oniana, Deshayes (see remarks p. 32). T. lepida. Hinds (fig. 88), must also be added, although Hinds thought it sufficiently distinguished b}^ the absence of a white sutural band, and by its sharper plications. T. LAUTA, Pease. PL 10, fig. 91. Stibcylindrical, longitudinally, straight!}' plicate, the plicae regular, sharp, extending across the whorls, the interstices with a single row of punctures near the suture ; leaden gray to orange-brown, polished, banded with yellow, bearing a row of chestnut spots at the suture, with a pale peripheral band, beneath which the body-whorl is chestnut-colored. Length, 1 inch. Sandwich Islands. Figured from a t37pe-specimen. It may be only a strong 3 34 TEREBRA. variety of T. strigilata, but has sharp plications and the line of punctures which indicate a sutural space, although no division is defined upon the ribs. lo T. HASTATA, Gmelin. PI. 10, fig. 87 ; PI. ^ fig. 86 ; PI. 10, figs. 89, 90, 94, 95, 92. Elongately cylindrical, somewhat acuminated towards the apex; closely plicated, forming crenulated sutures, the plicae sometimes on the upper part of the whorls only, sometimes covering the whorls to the base; whitish, two- or three-banded with fawn-color to orange-brown, the bands sometimes broken up into large blotches ; the entire surface occasionally uniform orange-brown. Length, 1-1*2 inches. West Indies; Wext Africa. T. costata, Menke (unfigured) is a synonym ; as is also the West African T. Knockeri, Smith (fig. 86.) Yar. ALBULA, Menke. PI. 10, figs. 89, 90, 94, 95. Shell narrower in proportion to its length, more subulate, the plications short. Australia, Philippines, Straits of Malacca. As the specimens usually occur this variety presents sufficient distinctness of form for specific rank, but sometimes the West Indian shells are found exactly like it. Reeve, who does not even make a varietal distinction, includes also the unfigured T. crassula, T. biparlita, and T. incolor of Deshayes, and as he has examined the types, he is probably correct. T. casta, Hinds (fig. 90", and T. mera, Hinds (figs. 94, 95) are synonyms. Var. SOLIDA, Deshayes. PL 10, fig. 92. The plications are described as only indicated by impressed striae on the last whorl, which is encircled by three translucently yellowish lines. Japan. Reeve adds that the shell is tessellately enameled throughout with square opaque white blotches on a fawn-cream color surface ; which appears to me to be but an exaggerated way of describing the characteristics exhibited by the figure. TEREBRA. 35 T. NiTiDA, Hinds. PI. 10, figs. 93, 96. Shell narrowly subulate, whitish or fawn-color, coarsely plicate, the plicae narrow, the interstices with a single row of punctures below the sutures. Length, 1 inch. Marquesas Is. • Australia. T. plicatella, Desh. (fig. 96), is a synonym. T. CALTGINOSA, Desh. PL 10, fig. 97. Shell slender, varicosely ribbed ; dark chocolate. Length, 1'25 inches. Philippines. Founded on a single specimen in the Cumingian Collection. It may = the preceding, but punctured interspaces are neither figured nor described. Dr. von Martens refers here the unfigured T. Kirki, Hutton, of Xew Zealand. T. VIOLASCENS, Hinds. PI. 10, fig. 98. Slenderly 'turreted. whorls flatly convex, obliquely flexnosely plicated ; spirally striate in the interstices, suture rather deeply impressed; whitish, pale violaceous or yellowish, brown-stained at the suture. Length, *83 inch. Philippines. Reeve remarks that Hinds' original figure in the "Thesaurus" is inaccurate, representing a sutural band — of which there are no indications on any of the specimens. T. TANTILLA, E. A. Smith. PI. 11, fig. 4. Longitudinally arcuately ribbed, subtuberculate at the sutures; yellowish, with a sutural chestnut band, and another on the periphery of the last whorl. Length, 6'5 mill. Japan. Mr. Smith makes his T. pumilio (unfigured) a synonym of the above. It appears to me to be too closely related to the next species. T. TENERA, Hinds. PI. 10, fig. 99. Distantly, strongly varicosely ribbed, interstices concave, shining; yellowish brov.n, chestnut-banded at the sutures and on the periphery. Length, 8 mill. Ceylon, Straits of Malacca. 36 TEREBRA. T. TRISTIS, Deshayes. PL 10, fig. 100. Whorls convex, plicately ribbed ; yellowish white with a chest- nut band at the suture, and another at the periphery. Length, 18 mill. Japan. The unfigured T. Antarctica. Smith, is referred here by Mr. Gillies, who makes it a New Zealand shell ; he also adds to the synonymy T. Kirki, Button — which Dr. von Martens refers to T. caliginosa, Reeve. T. ASSIMTLIS, Angas. PI. 11, fig. 1. Whorls somewhat convex, broadly arcuately ribbed, ribs ceasing at the periphery of the last whorl; yellowish brown, chestnut-banded at the suture, lower part of body-whorl chestnut. Length, 11 mill. Port Jackson, Australia. T. PYGM.EA, Hinds. PL 11, fig. 2. Shell- solid, closely ribbed ; yellowish brown, chestnut-banded at the sutures and on the periphery. Length, 7 mill. Straits of Malacca, 17 fathoms, mud (Hinds). T. NANA, Deshayes. PL 11, fig. 3. Yellowish white, with two interrupted bands of chestnut spots, one of them visible on the spire, distant^- ribbed, the ribs gradually disappearing. Length, 10 mill. Mouth of the Indus. T. METCALFEI, Reeve. PL 11, fig. 5. Shell cylindrically oblong, whitish, faintly tinged with pale white-dotted orange flames, red-dotted at the sutural margin ; whorls convex, the first ribbed, ribs soon fading. Length, 12 mill. West Indies ? Described from a single specimen collected by Rev. L. Guilding. T. OBESA, Hinds. PL 11, fig. 6. Cylindrically subulate, whorls convex, the first ribbed, ribs soon disappearing ; shining white, with longitudinal orange blotches, interrupted by a white band on the p .M ery. Length, 12 mill. Hob. unknown. TEREBRA. 37 T. PLUMBEA, Quoy. PI. 11, fig. 7. Longitudinal^ plicate, plications straight ; fawn or lead-color, white-banded at the suture; sometimes a white band at the periphery of the last whorl, below which the color is darker. Length, 1 inch. Moluccas, Philippines, China, Australia. The unfigured T. Bourguignati, Desh., is referred here by Reeve. T. LISCHKEANA, Bunker. PI. 12, fig. 22. Distantly costate throughout, with an obsolete sutural band, barely defined by a narrow sulcus, and punctations in the inter- stices of the ribs ; yellowish, banded with chestnut. Length, 34 mill. Japan. Connects this group with those species having a sutural band, and is evidently closely related to T. plumbea, etc. Subgenus EURYTA, H. and A. Adams. T. ACICULATA, Lam. PI. 11, figs. 15-17. Spire and upper part of body-whorl plicate and shelving, usually doubly nodose, the two rows separated by a sulcus on the middle of the shelf, sometimes the lower row of nodules are developed into spines, lower part of body-whorl with revolving striae ; white, or broadly or narrowly banded with chocolate, or uniform chocolate, or with close zigzag longitudinal markings. Length, '75-1 inch. Mazatlan, Cape St. Lucas, Panama, West Indies, ? W. Coast of Africa, ? Mediterranean Sea. The American localities are certain, but the several records of Mediterranean specimens refer to beach-worn shells, and it is probable that they were introduced accidentally, and that the species does not live there. The figures will show how variable the shell is in its sculpture and coloring. It is by no means certain that it is really the species intended by Lamarck, although it is thus generally identified ; neither is its generic position 38 TEREBRA. fixed; as von Martens remarks (Don BI'MO.. 21) it may very well be a Columbella. It is Bucc. pulchellum, Calcara ; Mitra Liunei, Eichwald ; Bucc. Linnei, Payr. ; T. Cosentini, Phil. ; T. nodosoplicata, Dunker. T. FULGURATA, Phil. PI. 11, figs. 18-20. Narrowly fusiform, spire acuminated, whorls plicate above, but not shouldered, with lightly marked, rather distant spiral stria? ; whitish, with zigzag longitudinal chestnut lines. Length, 14 mill. Mazallan, Acapulco, L. California. T. arguta, Gould, and T. rustwa, Hinds (figs. 19, 20), are synonyms ; the coloring of the latter is often seen in the species, as well as orange-brown and even clear white without markings. Another usual state has the upper half of the whorls white, the lower half of the body-whorl only showing the lightning-streaks or' chestnut. T. NASSOIDES, Hinds. PI. 12, fig. 23. Whorls varicosely ribbed, spirally minutely striated ; pinkish ash, banded with lead-color, margin below the suture white. Length, 13'5 mill. Red Sea (Lord Mountnorris). Appears to be closely allied to the preceding species. I have not seen it. T. TRILINEATA, Adams and Angas. PL 12, fig. 24. Thin, slender, with long, narrow aperture, distantly plicate and encircled with thread-like lines ; yellowish white, with lon- gitudinal pale undulating chestnut markings, a series of chest- nut spots near the suture, and on the body-whorl three revolving- chestnut lines, one of which appears also on the spire. Length, 14 mill. New South Wales , Australia. T. ANGASI, Try on. PI. 12, figs. 25, 26. Olivelliform, with small, rather close plications, disappearing on the upper part of the body-whorl ; whitish, shining, with three TEREBRA. 39 fulvous bands upon which are longitudinal light chestnut zigzag markings. Length, 10-12 mill. Rapid Bay, So. Australia ; N. S. Wales. Described by Adams and Angas under the name of Euryta pulchella, preoccupied in Terebra by Deshayes. T. Brazieri, Angas (fig. 26), appears to be only a slightly differently colored specimen. Angas has himself preoccupied this specific name in Terebra. Un figured and Undetermined Species of Terebra.

Globosety ovate, ventricose, narrowly deeply umbilicated ; whorls excavately shouldered, obliquely thinly ribbed, the ribs slightly prickly at the shoulder angle, spirally elevately striated, the intersections slightly nodulous ; yellowish white, stained and spotted with chestnut. Length, 1 inch. Philippines, Zanzibar. This shell probably passes into C. scalala, Sowb., a form with more exserted spire ; Sowerby's figure 82, intended for C. obli- quata, represents one of these transition forms. C. SCALATA, Sowb. PI. 6, figs. 3-9 ; PL t, fig. 11. Narrowly umbilicated, excavately shouldered, nodulous throughout b3r the intersection of longitudinal close ribs and spiral elevated lines ; yellowish white to chestnut-color. Length, 1-1*25 inches. Red Sea, Ceylon, Mauritius, Moluccas, New Caledonia. Differs (not sufficiently) in form principal^, from the pre- ceding species, the body-whorl being less ventricose and the spire longer. C. textilis, Kiener (fig. 3), C. articular is, Sowb. (fig. 4), C. contabulata, Sowb. (fig. 5), C. puxilla, Sowb. = young C. contabulata (fig. 6), G. Forestieri, Montr, (fig. 7), and C. Rou- yeyroni, Souv. (fig. 11), from New Caledonia, are synonyms. C. Montrouzieri, Souverb. (fig. 8), is mainly distinguished from the last named, by the shoulder being biplanate and carinate at the angle ; I believe it to be a merely accidental variety ; it is also New Caledonian. C. tenuis, A. Adams (fig. 9), appears to be founded on a not fully grown individual of the normal form. 82 CANCELLAHTA. C. WILMERT, Sowb. PI. 7, fig. 10. Turrictilated, the shoulder narrowly excavated, nodosely closely cancellated ; columella triplicate • dark chestnut-color, faintly banded with white on the middle of the body-whorl. Length, 11 mill. Andaman Islands. Has a longer spire than the preceding species. C. COSTIFERA, Sowerby. PI. 7, figs. 12, 13. Umbilicus narrow, whorls somewhat flatly shouldered, the angle bluntly spinose ; ribs elevated, compressed ; distant revolv- ing sculpture faint or obsolete ; columella triplicate ; yellowish brown to chocolate-colored, with narrow red revolving lines. Length, -5-1 inch. Philippines, New Caledonia. The painting and wide spaces between the ribs, and want of prominent spiral sculpture are the distinctive features of this species. C. Souverbiei, Crosse (fig. 13), is a S3Tnonym ; it comes from New Caledonia. C. LAMBERTI, Souverbie. PL 7, fig. 14. Umbilicus moderate, ribs distant, spirally subcostulate ; dirty white. Length, 13 mill. New Caledonia. The umbilicus and spiral sculpture are more developed than in C. costifera, to which the species is very closely allied. The specimens before me, as well as those from which the original description was made, are not in a fresh state. C. NITIDA, A. Adams. PL 7, fig. 16. Superficially umbilicated, narrowly angled at the suture, ribs compressed and very prominent, sharp, with the interstices smooth ; fleshy white. Length, 9 mill. Philippines. C. VERREAUXII, Kiener. PL 7, fig. 15, 17. Narrowly, deeply umbilicated, obtusely angled near the suture, rudely nodosely ribbed, and spirally ridged ; orange-brown. Length, 11 mill. Habitat unknown. C. coctilis, Reeve (fig. 17) appears to be the same species, not fully grown. OANGELLARIA. 83 C. LlTTORlN^EFORMIS, Sowb. PI. 17, fig. 18. Rather thin, deeply umbilicated, whorls narrowly tingled above, thinly decussately striated throughout. Length, 1 inch. Ceylon. C. SEMIPELLLCIDA, Ads. and Reeve. PI. 7, figs. 19, 20. Ovately ventricose, rather thin, minutely umbilicated, suture deeply impressed, whorls somewhat round-shouldered, longi- tudinally obliquely plicate, spirally finely ridged ; aperture ovate, attenuated at the base, smooth within, columella three-plaited ; fulvous, subpellucid. Length. 12-15 mill. Soeloo Sea. The plications are sometimes more or less obsolete on the back ; it appears to form a passage to Admete. C. FUNICULATA, Hinds. PI. 7, figs. 21, 22. Umbilicated, excavated at the suture, round-shouldered ; ribs compressed, distant, crossed by delicate spiral ridges and alter- nate raised lines ; transparent white, tinged with orange-brown. Length, '75 inch. ? Magdalena Bay, L. California; sandy mud, 7 fms. (Hinds). A single specimen is reported to have been obtained at the above locality, which, as well as the following, may be erroneous.

Length, 12-15 mill. (var. grandis, 15-30 mill). Massachusetts Bay, Maine, Gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador, Iceland,, Arctic Norway, White Sea, Spitzbergen, Behring's Strait, N. Japan. A circumpolar species, inhabiting from shore to 690 fathoms (dredged). It is extinct in the British seas. Jeffreys thus describes the animal : — "Body milk-white; head furnished with a long and promi- nent veil ; tentacles contractile, thread-shaped, rather long and slender, smooth, with blunt tips, diverging at an angle of 45° ; eyes placed on the top of short stalks, at the outer base of the tentacles, with which the eye stalks are united; foot large, triangular and long, squarish and double-edged in front, and bluntly pointed behind, edges uneven ; pallial fold (lining the basal groove of the shell) very short and thick. No operculum. Active ; crawls out of the water. It emits a greenish liquid on being touched with a camel's-hair brush." It is G. subangulosa of Wood's " Crag Mollusca;" C. crispa. Moller; C. Buccinoides, Couthouy (=C. Coulliouyi, Jay); C. costellifera, Sowb. Like many other circumboreal species, the shell varies con- ADMETE. 85 siderably in its characters; two forms of it have been described as varieties by Leche. Var. UNDATA, Leche (fig. 27). Yar.

Smooth, thin, diaphanous, whorls 3. Length, 2'5 mill. Kerguelen Island. Mr. Smith writes of this species that it has the appearance of a minute Limnaea with the columella truncated a little below the middle. "Although this is a very curious form for an Admete, I am not acquainted with any other genus which it more resem- bles. The character of the truncation of the columella is similar, and the absence of an operculum is also congeneric. From the fewness of the whorls and the thinness of the shell it may be conjectured to be but the young of some larger species. This may be the case, but at present I am unable to identify it as the fry of any genus with which I am acquainted." Un figured Species. C. BOREALIS, A. Adams. Melville Inland. C. AUSTRALTS and C.

PERUVIANUS, Swainson. PL 3, fig. 29. Whorls spirally ribbed, obtusely angled and tuberculated on the shoulder, middle tubercle on the back very prominent ; yellowish chestnut, sometimes a little tessellated, aperture and columella yellowish or orange-brown, deepening in the interior to a deep orange-red. Length, 5-7 inches. Peru to W. Columbia,. In old specimens the interior of the outer lip is often radiately ridged. S. TRICORNIS, Lam. PI. 3, figs. 30, 31. Nearly smooth, very obsoletely spirally ribbed, the shoulder and spire tuberculated, dorsal tubercle of body-whorl long, laterally compressed, very prominent, two other dorsal tubercles also somewhat enlarged ; whitish closely irregularly lineated with orange-chestnut; aperture blush-white or rosy. Length, 4'5 inches. Red Sea, Isle of Bourbon, Seychelles, Philippines. Is a smaller, lighter species than the preceding, with the lip more narrowty produced into a lobe behind, interior always smooth, spire longer, aperture light violaceous instead of orange- red. It is not West Indian, as supposed by Sowerby. It is S. orientalis, Johnston, and S. pertinax, Duclos. S. BITUBERCULATUS, Lam. PL 4, figs. 32, 33. Grayish white, marbled and banded with chestnut or chocolate, aperture yellowish white, deepening to rose-color. Length, 3 inches. West Indies; N. South America. It is S. lobatus, Swainson, S. quadratics, Perry,, S. raninus, Gmelin. The lattei; name has priori t}', of course, but I prefer to retain the name under which the species has become so well- known. 8TROMBUS. 113 S. GALLUS, Linn. PI. 4, figs. 35, 36. Yellowish white, clouded and maculated with chestnut ; aper- ture whitish, more or less tinged with orange-brown. Length. 4-6 inches. West Indies. Reeve and some earlier authors have given the Red Sea as locality for this species, which is an error; probably originally caused by confounding it with S. tricornis. S. AURIS-DJAN.E, Linn. PL 4, figs. 37, 38. Shell varying from nearly smooth to roughly nodulous, the nodules developed here and there upon revolving rounded ribs, spire-whorls and upper part of body-whorl angulated and nodose on the angle, callus of the inner lip far-spreading, sometimes mounting the spire to near its apex, interior of outer lip with posterior radiating ridges ; orange-brown or light chestnut, speckled and marbled with white, polished ; lip and columella callus whitish, more or less tinged and deepening within the aper- ture to bright carnelian. Length, 3 inches. Indian Ocean, Mauritius, Philippines to Society Islands. The synonyms include S. Lamarckii, Gray; S. guttatus, Martini ; S. striatogranosus, Morch. Attempts have been made to separate the smoother form as S. guttatus, Mart., but any con- siderable collection embracing specimens from several localities will demonstrate its identity with the more nodose forms. Var. MELANOSTOMUS, Swainson. Fig. 38. Shell tinged with black or burnt chocolate color, on the margin of the lip. and its posterior lobe, and on the posterior part (or sometimes covering the whole) of the columellar callus. S. PACIFICUS, Swainson. PI. 4, figs. 39, 40. Shell with revolving rounded ribs and nodules, and angulated whorls, nodulous on the angle, as in the preceding species — which it also resembles in exterior coloration, but the spire is longer, more convex, and the body-whorl narrower. The aper- ture differs in the lip being radiately ridged throughout instead of at the posterior end only ; in the typical form the interior and 8 114 STROMBUS. columella-callus are yellowish, or ochre-brown, darker between the radiating ridges, tinged on the callus with dark chocolate. Length, 3 inches. Japan, Australia, Society Islands. This is S. Novse-Zelandise, Chemn., S. acutus, Perry, S. aratrum, Morch, S. Chemnitzii, Pfr. Yar. AUSTRALIS, Sowb. Fig. 40. Barely distinguishable by its usually shorter lobe, the inter- stices of the lip ridges not darker colored, and the margin of the lip as well as part of the columellar callus painted_ deep chocolate. Section IV. GALLINULA, Klein.'1 A/WM** S. VITTATUS, Linn. PI. 4, figs. 41-44. Body-whorl usually smooth, sometimes rudely longitudinally plicate in continuation of the ribs of the spire ; there is a smooth sutural band, more or less defined \)y a groove below it ; whitish clouded or reticulated with light yellowish or chestnut, often with several revolving bands of darker reticulations ; aperture white. Length, 3-4 inches. Indian Ocean, China, Philippines. S. turritus, Lam. (fig. 43), is a slender form, with the spire more drawn out, and the lip not so much expanded ; S. sulcatus, Chemn. (fig. 44) is probabty only a malformed specimen of this species. S. LISTERI, Th. Gray. PI. 4, fig. 45. Differs from the preceding species in the lobe-like posterior expansion of the lip and its large anterior sinus, in the inner face of the lip being smooth instead of radiately ridged, in the absence of the sutural band, and in its much larger size. Length, 6 inches. Ceylon. It may be a monstrosity of S. vittatus, but until we have further evidence on the subject it had better be regarded as a distinct species. It was known to Lister, who figured it (PI. 855) nearly two centuries before Sowerby's publication of it as S. mirabilis, in 1870. Gray's description of it in 1852, although in a periodical of wide circulation, appears to have been entirely overlooked. STROMBUS. 1 1 5 XsJ^UFQR S. CAMPBELLI, Gray. PI. 5, fig. 46. Resembling S. vittatus in coloration, but with shorter spire, the sutural band closely plicate, instead of smooth as in vittatus; body-whorl smooth, except the revolving grooves at the base. Length, 2-2'5 inches. North and East Australia. Perhaps only a variety of S. vittatu*. S. DILATATUS, Swainson. PI. 5, fig. 47. Spire finely longitudinally plicate, all the whorls with close spiral striae, no sutural band, interior of lip radiately ridged; yellowish brown or light chestnut, with somewhat obscure whitish maculations, and narrow bands, interstices of the ribs on the inside of the lip, dark chestnut or purplish. Length, 2-2'5 inches. Zanzibar, New Caledonia, Japan. Reeve changed the name to S. Swainsoni, on account of S. dilatatus, Lam. — but the latter is a synonym of S. bubinius, Linn. The shell figured by Lischke for S. Japonicus appears to me to = this species. S. JAPONICUS, Reeve. PI. 5, fig. 48. Longitudinally finely ribbed towards the apex, everywhere closely regularly spirally grooved, upper part of whorls slant- ingly concave, with the angle obscurely nodose; whitish, stained and variegated with chestnut, encircled with narrow white zones sagittately marked with chestnut; interior white, lip radiately ridged. Length, 2-25 inches. Japan. Closely allied to the preceding species, but is narrower, with longer spire, the whorls are concavely shouldered, etc. S. COLUMBA, Lamarck. PI. 5, figs. 49, 50. Closely spirally grooved, spire longitudinally closely ribbed, whorls concavely, slantingly shouldered, the angle tuberculated ; variegated and banded with orange-brown and white, columella and interior of outer lip both closely ridged, and stained deep chestnut.

Differs from S. dilatatus by its ridged inner lip, angulated. 116 STROMBUS. nodulous whorls, by the outer lip being more produced behind, with a narrow, deep sinus anteriorly. S. orosminus, Duclos (fig. 50), is a variet3^ with uncolored aperture. S. LABIOSUS, Gray. PI. 5, fig. 51. Spire closely longitudinally ribbed, whorls subangulated and nodose at the angle, everywhere closely spiral^ grooved, lip strongly winged, and excavated above, ascending the spire but little, radiately ridged within, inner lip smooth ; yellowish brown, interior white, interstices of ridges within the lip often deep chestnut. Length, 2 inches. Australia, Philippines. S. DEFORMIS, Gray. PL 5, fig. 52. Sculpture same as in preceding species, the shell thinner, the lip not so lobular behind, and decidedly ascending the spire; coloring as usual in this group, marbled and tessellated with orange-brown and white, with faint, marbled bands. Length, 2-2 '5 inches. Eed Sea, Philippines, Australia. Notwithstanding the differences above pointed out, I have some doubts of the distinctness of this and the preceding species. S. MARQINATUS, Linn. PL 5, figs. 53, 54. Distinguished at once by its short, conical spire and sharply angulated whorls, the angle closely minutely nodulous, the whorls everywhere spirally grooved, interior of outer lip ridged ; marbled with orange-chestnut and white, with some narrow white bands covered by chestnut markings, aperture white.

Spire more exserted, showing a closely nodulous angle on the whorls, body-whorl less distinctly or not at all humped on the back, lip more expanded at the shoulder. S. FUSIFORMIS, Sowb. PI. 6, fig. 58. Smooth, spirally grooved at base and behind the outer lip, spire occasionally varicose, narrow ty margined below the suture; inner lip callous, narrow, ridged across, interior of outer lip radiately ridged ; lip exteriorty thickened, scarcely expanded ; interrupted ly marbled and banded with orange-brown and white, aperture white or tinged with dark chestnut. Length, 1*5 inches. ? Red Sea, Australia. S. VARIABILIS, Swainson. PL 6, figs. 59-61. Spire plicate, the whorls angulated and nodose on the angle, the plicae on the body-whorl short, body-whorl narrowly grooved at the base, lip smooth within ; white, or yellowish with orange- chestnut zigzag markings, and four narrow white bands, also crossed by the markings, or }Tellowish white, with chestnut bands, aperture white, columellar lip sometimes with a central chocolate blotch.

External coloring and sculpture same as in the preceding species, but usually smaller, the inner lip narrow, thickly cal- lous, running up the spire as far as the outer lip, from which it is separated by a narrow channel ; interior white, deepening within to golden yellow. Length, T25-l;5 inches. Philippines, Viii Is. I have considerable doubt whether the distinctive characters are sufficiently reliable to separate this from the preceding species. 118 STROMBUS. •S.

The sculpture, like the coloring varies; sometimes the body whorl is smooth below the strong shoulder-tubercles, sometimes theae are not so strong, and continue below as flexuous plica- STROMBU8. 119 tions — and these plications are distant or close, varying in number. S. plicatus, Lam. (PI. 7, fig. 70), and S. olydius, Duclos (PI. 6, fig. 68), arc synonyms. The difference between this species and S. urceus is so slight, and there is so much variation in the shells, that it is very doubtful whether their separation can be maintained ; several distinguished modern conehologists have united them.

Properly speaking there is only a difference of convenience between this species and Strombus ; that is, no important struc- tural differences are involved. Pterocera is a stromb having the outer lip on the shell prolonged into long digitate processes resulting from similar digitatrons of the mantle-margin of the animal. Certain of the strombs, those of the section Eupro- tomus, for instance, have a tendency to digitation, yet do not bridge the gap between the two groups. The Pteroceri as thus defined, consist of ten species, rather constant in character, confined, as to recent distribution, to the tropical seas of the Indo-Pacific, Australian and Polynesian provinces, and not cer- tainly found in a fossil state. The genus has been carefully reviewed by Prof. Theo. Gill (Am. Jour. Conch., v, 120), and I have followed him mainly in the synonymy, and descriptions. As will be seen by referring to p. 101 of this monograph, I have adopted two sections for the genus Pterocera; these correspond to genera in Prof. Gill's arrange- ment, the last containing two species (S. chiragra and S. rugosa), whilst the first is synoptically tabulated by him as follows: I. Lips smooth (my Subsection I. Heptadactylus). I a. 13ody-whorl tuberculated at the angle. Lip reflected ; columella with callus'diffused, P. lambis. Lip inflected ; columella with callus stratified, P. crocata. I 6. Body-whorl unarmed at angle, P. bryonia. II. Lips rugose (my Subsection II. Millipes). II a. Intercalary digitations none. Posterior digitation with a basal lobe, P. scorpio. Posterior digitation simple, P. pseudoscorpio. II b. Intercalary digitations developed. Posterior digitation simple, P. millepeda. Posterior digitution with a basal lobe Labml digitations eight ; labial wrinkles very distinct, P. ehngata. Labral digitations ten ; labral wrinkles faint, P. violacea. The Pterocerae have been monographed also by Reeve, Sowerby and Kiener. 124 PTEROCEBA. Section I. PTEROCERA (sensu stricto). Subsection I. Heptadactylus, Klein. P. LAMBIS, Linn. .PL 8, figs. 1-3. Angular fasciole or revolving rib carinatecl on spire, on the body-whorl provided with two enlarged, compressed tubercles ; inner lip with the callus spreading; outer lip with the margin (normally) somewhat reflected, with the digitations bending out- ward and rather small, and with the antesinual lobe undulated ; lips and aperture whitish or yellowish brown, becoming more or less sanguineous within. Length, 6-8 inches. Indian Ocean, Zanzibar, Philippines, New Guinea, Society Islands, etc. P. ATJRANTTIA, Lam. PL 9, fig. 5. Angular fasciole carinated on spire, and on the last whorl armed with two enlarged tubercles; inner lip with the callus somewhat restricted, folded near the aperture ; outer lip with its margin somewhat inflected, the digitations successively more recurved, and the antesinual lobe tridentate ; lips more or less orange or saffron-colored. Length, 5-6 inches. Philippine*, Mauritius, etc. P.crocala, Link, has priority, but it is unnecessary to displace a well-established name in favor of a recently resurrected one, published very obscurely. P. BRYONIA, Gmelin. PL 8, fig. 4 ; PL 9, fig. 8. Angle coronated or tuberculaf ed on spire, unarmed on the last whorl ; inner lip with diffused callus, outer lip with erect margin, with six moderate digitations, and with the antesinual lobe little undulated ; lips whitish or luri'd. Length, 10-15 inches. Red Sea, Indian Ocean , Mauritius, Japan, Philippines, Australia, Society Islands. The synonymy includes P. truncata, Lam., Pi/rula Bengalina, Grat. (juvenile), P. Sebae, Yal., and P. Sowerbyi, Morch. Morch has distinguished the two latter as species, but they do. not present any claim to even varietal rank ; not only is the species very variable within its usually recognized limits, but certain specimens before me indicate a transition to P. lambis.

Revolving fascioles except the sutural and anterior with prom- inent tubercles ; lips with very prominent, often white wrinkles strongly contrasting with the deep purplish or blackish ground- color; basal posterior digitation with its canal closed by the reflection of its margins, and accumbent on the middle of the spire. Length, 5-7 inches. Zanzibar, Society Islands, etc. Probably only a variety of the preceding species. It is P. chiragra, Lam., in part, and P. arthritica, Morch. ROSTELLARIA. 127 Genus ROSTELLARIA, Lamarck, 1799. " Rostellaria has all the habits of the Strombidoe, progressing by means of its powerful and elastic foot which it places under the shell in a bent position, when suddenly, by a muscular effort, it straightens that organ, and rolls and leaps over and over. It is, however, far more timid and suspicious than Strombus, which has a bold disposition. On the low sandy beach, near the mouth of the Lundu River, in Borneo, dead shells of Rostellaria recli- rostris are numerous, but generally in very imperfect condition. At the small fishing village of Samahitan I inspected a large heap of these shells, which the Malays had brought together for the purpose of turning them into lime. On inquiring of these poor fishermen whether it were possible to obtain them in a living state, we were informed that they never procured them in their nets, but that they lived in deep water at a considerable distance from the shore. The animal of Roxtellaria fissa does not differ from that of Strombus, and is of a dull brown color, varied with lighter brown. It is, however, one of the most lively among mollusks, jumping several inches, and throwing itself about with the most astonishing activity. It has none of the extreme timidity of the former mentioned species." — Arthur Adams, Narrat. Vo}'. Samarang, ii, 492. R. CURVIROSTRIS, Lam. PI. 10, figs. 14-16 ; PL 11, fig. 26.

Mr. Arthur Adams, in his Narrative of the Voyage of the " Samarang," makes the following remarks upon this mollusk : " In its habits the animal of the Terebellum is exceedingly shy and timid, retracting its body into the shell on the slightest alarm. It will remain stationary for a long time, moving its tentacles about cautiously in every direction, when, suddenly, it will roll over with its shell, and continue again perfectly quiet. They appear to have all the muscular energy, vivacity, and, doubtless, predatory boldness possessed by the Strombi, which they also resemble in their perfectly organized eyes, and quick- ness of vision. Mr. Cuming informs me that he has seen them leap several inches from the ground, exactly as I have seen the animal of Strombus gibber-ulu.s. On one occasion, a beautiful specimen was lost to the above-mentioned enthusiastic collector, by the animal suddenly leaping into the water, as he was holding and admiring it in the palm of his hand. Those I kept in con- finement died in a few days, and appear to be of a more delicate constitution than the hardy Strombus. There appears to be a very trifling muscular connection between the animal and its shell. u From, my observations on the animal of Terebellum, I should imagine the spotted variety to be perfectly distinct as a species. In this, which may be called T. maculosum, the proboscis is of a whitish-brown. color, reddish towards the tip ; the body is of an opaque pearly white, the mantle transparent ; the foot semi- pellucid white; the ocular peduncles are mottled with dark red, and the pupil black. The front of the mantle, edging the anterior part of the shell, is colored with a black line, forming its margin. " In the common species, T. subulatum, the eye-peduncles are punctulatecl with red-brown, as is likewise the upper and under part of the fore-portion of the body. The bod^y is opaque pearly white, with three large, irregular-shaped red-brown blotches on the fore-part. The under surface of the foot is light brown, with a white cross-like marking of a deeper brown. Doubtless, when the animal of the variety covered with zigzag markings shall have been discovered, it will also be found to be specifically distinct." APORRHAIS. 131 A difference in the color-markings of the animal has precisely the same value as if upon its shell, and the variations of the latter, in the present instance, are so unstable as to preclude the possibility of separating species, with sufficiently distinctive characteristics. The genus has but one recent representative, the species described below. It is related to the Strombs through Strombus tervbellatus. T. SUBULATUM, Lam. PI. 11, figs. 27-30. Shell smooth, shining, suture linearly grooved, enamelled ; yellowish white, with chestnut or chocolate dots, freckles or zigzag lines, often somewhat indistinctly banded. Length, 2-3 inches. Indian Ocean, Java, China Sea, Philippines, New Caledonia, Viti Is., Mauritius. It is Bulla terebellum,' Linn., T. punctatum, Chemn., T. macu- losum, Ads., etc. Subfamily Aporrhainx. Genus APORRHAIS, Dillwyn, 1823. Section 1. APORRHAIS (sensu stricto}. A. PES-PELECANI, Linn. PI. 12, fig. 31. Yellowish white to light brown. Length, 2 inches. Seas of Europe, Iceland. This is the Cochlea pentadactylus of Pliny, Vespertilio spinosa of Seba, and R. quadrifidus, Da Costa. Jeffreys says of it (Brit. Conch., iv, 251 1 : " Habitat: Coralline zone (occasionally the deep- sea zone also) on all our coasts. This common shell has been recorded from the upper miocene, pliocene, and almost every newer tertiary and quaternary deposit in Europe, from the sea- level to 1360 feet above it. It is sl^, slow, and awkward in its movements, twisting about its long neck and foot in order to gain a creeping posture. Among other fanciful names given to this odd-looking shell, are * blobber-lipt Edinburgh whilk ' of Petiver, ' ailc de chauve-sauris femelle ' or ' patte d'oye ' of D 'A vila, and ' Zamarugola ' of the Venetians, by the poorer class of which people the animal was — perhaps is still — eaten. Ac- 132 APORRHAIS. cording to Mr. Couch, Solaster papposus also reckons it an agreeable kind of food ; when the soft portion has been digested, the empty shell is rejected, and becomes the habitation of a Sipunculus, which narrows the too capacious entrance with agglutinated sand. Specimens from deep water are smaller than those from the coast. The top of old but living shells which had lost their upper story, is sometimes closed by a semispiral plug or septum of new shelly matter ; the apex is very seldom perfect in full-grown specimens. When the outer lip is complete the subsequent growth takes place by adding fresh layers inside, so that the age of the individual is probably shown by the number of such layers. In immature specimens the commence- ment of the pterygoid or wing-like flap of the outer lip is defined by a bit of enamel along the mouth, which likewise lines the canal at the base as well as the upper process of the flap. Still younger specimens, before any sign of the flap appears, have the outer lip flexuous, with a wide and deep sinus at the upper part, and a long straight canal at the base. In this stage of growth they strongly resemble Fusi. The fry form a short cylinder. Monstrosities are not uncommon, especially in the shape and relative size of the digitated processes ; the basal point, however, is always formed like a spear-head." According to Morch Chiropteron semilunare of Sars is prob- ably the larval stage of Aporrhais. A. SERRESIANUS, Michaud. PI. 12, fig. 32. Whitish, or light yellowish brown. Differs from the preceding species by its long posterior and anterior canals, and by the outer lip being three-spined. Length, 2 inches. Europe, from Norway to the Mediterranean Sea. Perhaps more generally known under the name of A. pes- carbonis, Brong., which is, however, a wrong identification, the latter being a fossil and different species. Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys gave it the name of A. Macandreoe. A. SENEGALENSIS, Gray. (Un figured'.) Senegal. The (insufficient) description indicates close affinity or identity with A. STRUTHIQLARIA. 133 Section II. ARRHOGES, Gabb, 1868. A. OCCIDENTALTS, Beck. PL 12, fig. 33. The longitudinal ribs of the spire, and absence of tuberculated angles on the whorls, as well as the entire but greatly expanded lip, will readily distinguish this species. Length, 2-2'5 inches. Labrador, Newfoundland. Subfamily Struthiolariinae. Genus STRUTHIOLARIA, Lam., 1812. The synonymy of the few species of this New Zealandic genus was very much involved until 1876-7, when the Marchioness Paulucci (Bull. Soc. Mai. Ital., ii, iii), critically studied them and g-ave them essentially the nomenclature which follows. Section L STRUTHIOLARIA (». stricto). S. PAPULOSA. Marty n. PI. 12, fig. 34.

S. sulcata, Jonas (fig. 38) is simply an individual having the revolving sulci stronger than usual, with the shoulder and its nodules almost obsolete. Its locality, China, is; of course erro- neous. The specific name has priority over c/igas, but besides the fact that it has been overlooked by all the monographers, the specimen upon which the description is based, although recog- nizable as this species, is not normal in its characters. Section II. PELICARIA, Gray, 1857. S. SCUTTJLATA, Martyn. PL 12, figs. 39, 40. Yellowish fawn-color, longitudinally more or less streaked with a darker shade; sutures callous. Length, 1*5-2 inches.

Kerguelen has representatives of other New Zealand genera, showing similar variation in being more fragile.

RAYMOND ROBERTS, Member of the Concliological Section of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. FAMILY (Cowries.) Animal having tentacles usually long and stout, the eyes situated on a thickened portion about one-third the distance from the base ; mantle produced into two lobes capable of covering the shell, and furnished with warts, or forked or pointed filaments, sometimes papillose as in Trivia. Head obtuse, cylindrical; siphon broad, short, sometimes fringed at the edge or bordered with papilla) similar to those on the mantle ; foot large, simple, oblong-ovate, in ample folds, more or less acuminated at the extremities, sometimes truncate in front ; in Trivia it extends posteriorly far beyond the shell and terminates obtusely. Color of mantle extremely variable ; foot, head and siphon usually pale orange. Individuals' bisexual ; male organ very large. Lingual riband rather long, with seven series of teeth, arranged .'H*3, each row being composed of one broad quadrate uncinated rachidian tooth flanked on each side by three hooked laterals (PI. 15, fig. 8; PI. 20, lig. 41). Jaw corneous (PI. 20, fig. 64). No operculum. Shell ovate, varying from cylindrical to pyriform, sometimes ribbed or pustulate, but mostly smooth and possessing a high 11 (153) 154 CYFRJEWJE. polish and brilliant coloring; spire nearly, if not entirely, covered by the body-whorl which envelops it ; aperture nearly central, narrow and longitudinal ; lip and columella more or less toothed the entire length ; occasionally, but rarely, without teeth. The young shell differs in being Bulla-shaped ; the columella is smooth, the outer lip thin, and the color diffused in bands or waved lines. As the animal grows, the lip and columella thicken, teeth begin to develop and the shell becomes more solid. The two unequal lobes of the mantle extend one from either side of the aperture, and meet upon the dorsal surface of the shell, producing at the point of contact what is known as the " dorsal line " or " sulcus." The function of the mantle is to deposit the calcareous substance which forms the richly colored enamel of the shell. The cowries are shy and move slowly ; they inhabit the warm seas of the tropics, though a few species occur farther north, notably Trivia Europsea, which has been found on the coast of Norway, and is abundant on the shores of Great Britain, ranging from the verge of low-water to as deep as fifty fathoms. The highest northern station on the west coast of America^ at which any representation of the Cypraeidae has been detected, is Bodega Head, Cal., in lat. about 38° north (Stearns). They feed largely upon coral animals. Those found on some of the islands near New South Wales are usually seen lying upon deep beds of dead shells of the genus Pectunculus. •Fossil, the Gyprseidse commenced in the Cretaceous, and have augmented in the number of species to the present time. One species is reported from the Upper Jurassic of Sicily. From the fact that in many species of Cyprsea small shells are found fully adult, while larger examples appear less matured, theories about casting or dissolving and renewing the shell at different periods of the animal's existence have" been advanced by several eminent authorities. Bruguiere first expressed this opinion. His belief was that the animal left its shell to form a new one, after the manner of crabs. Lamarck coincided with this view, but Deshayes doubted the ability of the animal to secrete a new shell complete in all parts, after it had reached an advanced condition of existence, and considered the difference in size was 155 due to local influences. In 1844 Lieut. J. B. Hankey, of the English Xavy, in a letter to Lovell Reeve, stated that he .sv//>- the cowry dissolve its shell and in a short time secrete a thin layer of glutinous matter, which in a few days attained the con- sistency of shellac, its form being that of the Cymba. In consequence of this extreme fragility, he was not able to preserve any of the specimens. Unfortunately this observer does not say anything regarding the interior structure of the renewed shell, neither has there been any new light thrown upon this important matter by later writers, and the only literature referring to the subject is that the substance of which is here given. While the statement of Lieut. Hankey is strong evidence. :md it is a recognized fact that the cowry, like many other mollusks, does dissolve away portions of the interior structure of its shell when more room is wanted, yet I am not prepared to fully accept his statement, but rather favor the views expressed by Deshayes and attribute the difference in size to local causes. Possibly the larger shells ma}' be those of the female. The cowries are generally the first to attract the attention of the amateur, mainly on account of their rich and brilliant coloring ; and examples of the commoner species, principally C. tigris, manufactured into a great variety of articles, are to be found in many households. The natives of the Orient, especially those belonging to the South Pacific Islands, use them largely for personal adornment. In India the}' are used as trimmings to various trappings for elephants and horses. The Cuprsea moneta, or money-cowry, sometimes called the " prop shell," passes current almost exclusively in some parts of Africa. For this purpose many tons have been shipped from the Indian Ocean, where the shell occurs abundantly. Mr. John C. Hertz has published a memoir in the " Transactions of the Geographical Society of Hamburg," on the use and diffusion of the cowry shell as a medium of exchange. His father dispatched a vessel to the Maldive Islands in 1844, for a cargo of cowries to be sold to merchants for use in the West African trade. Xot finding as many shells there as they had anticipated, they completed their cargo with the larger and less valuable species of Zanzibar, where the cowries are burned into lime. Several cargoes of cowries were sent annually to Whydah and Lagos, where they 156 GYTRJEIDJE. were exchanged with the slave-traders for the Spanish doubloons they received from the sale of slaves. The Hamburg ship- captains dispatched this money home from Cape Town. The cowry-trade continued to extend as the slave-trade nourished, till Brazil took measures to prevent the introduction of African slaves. Simultaneously with the extinction of the slave-trade began the introduction of palm-oil, and a new trade, in which that product took the place of the Spanish doubloons, that grew as the use of palm-oil was extended. It flourished greatly during the Crimean War, when the Black Sea tallow was excluded from the markets. With it also flourished the trade in cowries, which thus appears to be connected with so many historical events that, considered from that point of view, it may be regarded as in some sort a measure of historical development — a view which received another exemplification in 1852, when England blockaded the coast of Dahomey, and the trade in cowries was stopped. In 1845 the Sultan of Bornoo reformed his currency, and introduced Spanish doubloons in place of the cotton-cloth that had hitherto served as money, with cowries, at the rate of four thousand to the dollar, for small change. A large demand for cowries sprang up, and the trade in them was stim- ulated to such an excess that the market was glutted, and it after- ward languished for several years. The present demand is quite lively. The cowry-shell is used as currency principally in the countries near the Niger, except in Ashantee, where gold-dust is the medium of exchange. North of Ashantee, gold-dust and the gera or cola-nut (Sterculia acuminata) are used with cowries, a load of sixty pounds of the nuts being considered equivalent in value to about fifteen thousand cowries. The shells have been used as a medium of exchange from a high antiquity. Marco Polo found them circulating in Yunnan in the thirteenth century; and they have been discovered in prehistoric graves in the Baltic countries. Dr. Ruschenberger, U. S. N., says they are not used as money in the Maldive Islands. On the authority of Mr. P. L. Simmonds, in " The Commer- cial Products of the Sea," a young wife in Africa costs from 60,000 to 100,000 shells, while an ordinary one may be had for 20,000, valuing the shells at about 4000 to the dollar. It is also stated that a house built by an English gentleman, in Cuttack, was paid for in cowries, sixteen millions being used. 157 In order to give some idea of the prices paid for the rarer species of Cyprsea, it is reliably stated that the second specimen of C. umbilicata sent home by the collector, Mr. Roland Gunii, of New South Wales, was sold for £30. Good specimens can now be had for about $2.50 each. A specimen of C. guttata, of which the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences possesses a fine example, was sold at auction a few years ago, and cost the purchaser £42. This species is still extremely rare. Other species range in price from $2.50 to $25.00 each : notwithstanding this, a good collection of the species can be obtained at a cost not exceeding $25.00. A number of monographs and catalogues of the Cypraeidie have been published, the most important being the following : — Gray. J. E. — Zoological Journal, 1824 to 1829. A monograph, including 113 species, some of which are figured. Descriptive Catalogue of Shells, 1832, in which are enumer- ated and described 121 species. Sowerby, G. B. — Conchological Illustrations, 1837. Colored figures of 143 species, a number of which are described. Kiener, L. C. — Coquilles vivantes (no date). A monograph in- cluding 145 species with colored figures. Reeve, Lovell. — Conchologia Iconica, 1845. Monograph with colored figures of 154 species. Roberts, S. R. — Catalogue and Synonymy of Porcellanidae. Amer. Jour. Conchology, v, 1869. The species, 197 in all, are alphabetically arranged with the synonymy and bibliography fully indicated. The names pro- posed by authors prior to Linnaeus, when binomial, are here recognized. Sowerby, G. B., Jr. — Thesaurus Conchyliorum, 1870. Mono- graph, including 189 species, with colored figures. Weinkauffj H. C. — In the Systematisches Conchilien-Cabinet of Kiister, 1881, 185 species are described and figured, the notes added to some of the descriptions being often quite compre- hensive. This author also enumerates the species, with par- 158 CYPFUEID^E. tial synonymy and bibliography in the " Jahrbiicher der Deutschen Malakozoologischen Gesellschaft " for the same year. According to Woodward, 97 fossil- species have been deter- mined. The subdivision of the Cyprseidre into groups, is attended with considerable difficulty, inasmuch as many of the species which appear distinct when the types only of each are compared, are found to be closely connected by intermediate forms. For instance, take the series of shells of which G. staphylsea and C. polita are the extreme examples : The former is dark in color, pustulate, and the teeth extend entirely over the base of the shell, in the form of ridges, while the latter is cream-tinted, perfectly smooth, the teeth being con- fined to the margin of the aperture except for a short distance at the extremities of the columella, and I do not hesitate to place it in the same group with the beautiful C. Listeri, Gray. Yet it is possible to connect them. The same may be said of many other well-recognized antipodal species. Again, local causes have produced variations in well-known species and these have received new names, thereby swelling the synonymy. This is noticeable in the case of the New Caledonian forms which frequently occur rostrate and show a tendency to melanism. Quite in contrast is this with the pale coloring exhibited in num- erous Sandwich Islands specimens of other well-known species. It has been observed that the pale coloring peculiar to the shells from the latter locality, is confined to the Cypraeidde. Of the New Caledonian forms, over forty species are found at Mauritius, and Dr. Jousseaume remarks as a consequence that this representation in so widely separated and completely isolated localities is not in accordance with the views of the advocates of geographical provinces. Various classifications have been proposed, the most promi- nent being those of Gray, H. and A. Adams, Sowerby, Troschel, Weinkauff, and Jousseaume. Dr. Gray recognized six genera : Cyprasa, Luponia, Cypriro- vula, Trivia, Erato, Ovulum ; subdividing the first into sub- genera Cypraea, Aricia, Naria. His descriptions are as follows : GYPRJEIDJE. 159 I. Cypraea. Subgenus Cypraea — Front of columella broad, deeply impressed ; shell mostly smooth. Subgenus Aricia — Front of columella flat or nearly so, back of shell smooth. Subgenus Naria — Front of columella narrow, dilated into a sharp-toothed ridge ; shell smooth. II. Luponia — Shell like cowry, but front end of the columellar lip crossed by several irregular ridges without any dis- tinct marginal one ; internally narrow, flat, shell pear- shaped, smooth or ribbed. III. Cypraeovula — Like cowry, but front end of columella covered with regular cross-ribs like rest of base, inter- nally produced into an acute toothed ridge, shell pear- shaped and ribbed. IY. Trivia— Like Cypraeovula, but front of columella internally concave, ribbed, shell subglobular, cross-ribbed. (Erato and Ovulum are now excluded from this family.) The Messrs. Adams modified these groups and added others, as follows : Cypraea, representing the cylindrical forms, with Naria as a subgenus. Aricia, shells with flattened base. Luponia ; Cypraeovula ; Trivia, with Pustularia as a subgenus for pustulate forms ; and Epona. Under this arrangement, C. carneola would be entitled to a place in Aricia as well as in Cypraea. Sowerby in " Thesaurus Conchyliorum " makes two divisions : A. Cypraea, proper. Columella ending in a lobe and plait. B. Cypraea, subgenus Trivia. Columella without distinct lobe or plait. He attempts to arrange the species in the order of their nearest allies. Dr. Troschel named two families : Cypraeacea, Triviacea, basing his subdivisions upon differences in dentition; but as these differences do not agree with those of the general charac- ters of the shell, they need not be further considered. The first 160 family he subdivided into sections C}Tpra3a, Aricia, Pustularia, and the last into Trivia and Erato. He further subdivided, Cyprsea into Talparia, Tigris, Lyncina and Mauritia ; and Aricia into Erronea, Erosaria and Monetaria. Erato having been monographed by Mr. Tryon with his " Marginellida*," leaves but one section in the second family. Weinkauff, in 1881, proposed seven divisions, viz. : Cyprrea, Aricia, Luponia, Ocellaria, Pustularia, Epona, Cyproeovula. He makes Trivia a subgenus and endeavors to show how these subdivisions run into each other. While this arrangement coin- cides somewhat with that of Messrs. Adams, the author makes the restriction that what are called genera and subgenera, with him are simply sections to which he has subjoined the Adams' names. He very properly remarks that Pustularia is more nearly related to Cyprsea than to Trivia ; and follows Sowerby in separating Ocellaria, holding that the eye-markings and, still more, the impressions upon the sides of the shell are of sufficient consequence to allow this group a separate place. In a study of the Cypneidae, published in the " Bull, de Soc. Zool. France," for 1884, Dr. F. Jousseaume proposes to subdivide the family into thirty-six generic groups, twenty-five of which are new to science, the remaining eleven being adaptations of those of previous authors, as follows : — Bernaya, Jouss. (Fossil). Type B. (Gyp.) media, Desh. Gisortia, Jouss. Types G. (Ovula) gisortiana^sil.; G. (Gyp.) mus, Linn. Mandolina, Bayle MSS. (Fossil). Type M. (Gyp.) gibbosa, Borson. Zoila, Jouss. Type Z.

(Gyp.) moneta, Linn. Erosaria, Troschel. Type E. (Gyp.) erosa. Linn. Staphyloea, Jouss. Type S. (Cyp.) staphylcea, Linn. Tessellata, Jouss. Type T. (Cyp.), tessellata, Swn. Ipsa, Jouss. Type 7. (Cyp.) Childreni, Gray. Cypraedia Swainson (Fossil). Types C. ( Cyp.) cancellata, Swn.; C. Adamsoni, Gray. Pustularia, Swainson. Type P. (Gyp.) cicercula, Linn. Nuclearia, Jouss. Type N.

Niveria, Jouss. Type N. ( Trivia) nivea, Gray. Trivirostra, Jouss. Type T. ( Trivia) scabriuscula, Gray — T. oryza, Lam. No objection can be raised to any plan of grouping that will aid the student in his study of this family, but when it comes to giving each group a title, as has been done in this instance, there is an unnecessary swelling of the already too large list of generic names. In my catalogue, published in 1869, I followed the Messrs. Adams, with the addition of the genus Gaskoinia, proposed by 162 me for a group of shells of which the Gyp. edentula, Gray, is the only example at present known. With regard to Erato, although its animal possesses much in common with that of Trivia, particularly in the dentition (if cor- rectly figured), yet I agree with Mr. Tryon that " the balance of characters seems to indicate a rather closer relationship " with Marginella, where he has placed it. At any rate, the genus is already monographed in this work, vol. v, p. 1. Besides these, the following fossil genera have been estab- lished : Cypraeorbis and Sulcocyprsea, named by Conrad, but not described, and Cyprsedia, Swainson. Pseudocassis, Pictet, erro- neously referred as a synonym to Gaskoinia, Roberts, in Try on 's Structural and S}rstematic Conchology, scarcely belongs to the family. The following arrangement is suggested after careful study as being that best attainable by me, but on account of the great variability of form and other characters. I am convinced that no scheme of classification can be presented that will positively determine the position of all the species. In using the sub- generic terms here given, I do not recognize in them any syste- matic value except in the case of Trivia, which is sufficiently well characterized to entitle it to the position of a subgenus.

The material of this monograph has been prepared under some disadvantages, during the few odd hours of leisure occurring in an active mercantile life ; this will explain, if it does not excuse its errors and omissions. The author takes this opportunity to acknowledge valuable aid rendered by a number of conchological friends at home and abroad, while prosecuting this labor of love. 164 CYPR^EA. Genus CYPR^EA, Linn. Section I. Shell cylindrical or nearly so. Group A. Not margined. * Spotted, teeth brown-tinted. C. ARGUS, Linn. PI. 1, figs. 1, 2. Pale brown, back three-banded, covered with numerous brown rings, base ornamented with four large dark chestnut spots, two on each side of the aperture. Length, 2'5-4 inches. Indian Ocean, New Caledonia, New Hebrides. C. CER\US, Linn. PI. 2, figs. 11, 12. Shell more or less inflated ; brown, ornamented with numerous somewhat small white spots, base usually dark brown. Length, 2-6 inches. Panama. Reported from the West Indies as well as the west coast of America, by several authors, but the true locality seems still in doubt. Prof. Miirch, while including it in his West Indian Cyprseas, says he has seen no specimen with authentic locality. The young cervus is transverse^ radiated with four bluish lead-colored bands. C. EXANTHEMA, Linn. PI. 1, figs. 3, 4, 5 ; PI. 2, figs. 13, 14. Differs from the preceding in being less inflated, more elongate and solid. It is of heavier growth, the spots are usually larger and are ringed. Length, 3-4 inches. West Indies, Florida; Panama to Mazatlan (var. cervinetta}. One specimen of this shell was found at Fort Macon,N. Caro- lina. Previous monographers have generally given this species an East Indian habitat; it is decidedly West Indian, while C. cervus probably belongs to the West Coast of America. This view coincides with that of Prof. Morch. C. cervinetta, Kiener (figs. 3, 13, 14) is a small variety, more cylindrical and of a deeper hue, the teeth on the coluinella are also of a richer dark brown. It belongs to the Panama and Mazatlan regions, and appears to be the West Coast representa- tive of C. exanthema. CYPR.-KA. 165 C. SCURRA, Chemn. PI. 2, figs. 19, 20, 21.

Pale flesh-color, ornamented with four, occasionally five, bands of a deeper tint ; base and sides pale fulvous; teetli and interstices deep purple. Animal red. Length, 1-3 inches. Pacific and Indian Oceans. This species is extremely variable both in size and shape, and some specimens are quite like the group in which the C. arenosa has been placed. Mr. Sowerby, in Thes. Conch. Cypneida^, calls attention to a variety in which the teeth are not purple-tinted. This is probably the G. Loebbeckeana of Weinkauff (figs. 29, 30), but Weinkauff says of his species, that in addition to this, there is also the absence of the bands of color on the back, whilst Sowerby's figure indicates their presence. Very large specimens of C. carneola, from the Isle of Pines, have been confounded by non-scientific collectors with C. aurantium, Martyn. Fossil, the species is common in the clay beds of Costa Rica (Gabb). CYPR.EA. 167 C. TALPA, Linn. PL 3, figs. 31-33. Pale yellow, obscurely two- or three-banded, extremities, sides and base blackish brown ; interstices of the teeth whitish. . The animal is black. Length, 2-3 inches. Pacific and Indian Oceans. The young shell is entirely yellow, with brown-tinged bands ; the rich basal coating of dark enamel is the last deposit in its formation. C. EXUSTA, Sowb. PI. 3, figs. 34, 35.

Xew Caledonia, Australia, Indian 0. C. OWENI, Sowb. PL 4, figs, 45, 58, 68-70 ; PI. 5, fig. 73. Shell generally broader, and more margined than C. hirundo, marginal dots more numerous; the teeth are smaller and extend more over the base of the shell. From a careful comparison of specimens of this shell with those of C. Menkeana, Desh. (PI. 4, figs. 69, 70, from Deshayes ; PI. 4. fig. 58 ; PI. 5, fig. 73, from Sowerby), both of which were received from Mr. Sowerby, I do not hesitate to place the latter as a synonym. The only noticeable difference is in the marginal dots, which in Menkeana sometimes run together, 12 '170 CYPILEA. giving a solid brown appearance. Specimens of C. Oweni, received from Mr. J. F. Bailey, of Melbourne, Victoria, are rather elongate, yellowish, and have a faded appearance, but decorticated shells are fawn-color. C. NEGLECTA, Sowb. PI. 4, figs. 61, 62, 63, 66, 67. Differs from C. hirundo, in the teeth, which are smaller, more numerous, and extend over the base of the shell. The back is usually ornamented with a brown blotch. Length, *5-*75 inch. Australia, Mauritius. C. coffea, Sowb. (figs. 66, 67) is a small variety, the teeth of which continue over the dorsal margin of the posterior extremity. C. CYLINDRICA, Born. PL 5, figs. 79, 80, 81. Bluish, freckled with minute fulvous-chestnut specks, and a large misshapen central blotch ; extremities painted on each side with a conspicuous blackish-chestnut spot; the marginal dots are very few in number, and are confined to the left side ; aperture anteriorly dilated, outer teeth large, inner line, and elongated partially across the base ; teeth and base whitish. Length, 1 '2-1*5 inches. Ceylon, Australia, New Caledonia. C. subcylindrica, Sowb. (fig. 81), is a more ovate variety, with teeth less strong, those on the columella being confined to its margin ; the marginal dots are nearly obsolete. C. TABESCENS, Sol. PI. 5, figs. 82, 83, 84.

New Caledonia, Loyally Is., Australia. C. TEEES, Gmel. PI. 5, figs. 86, 87.- The gradation is fine from the more slender forms of C. tabescens to this species, but the more sudden bend of the aperture, more produced extremities and the increased number of teeth are sufficient to distinguish it. Length, -75-'9 inch. Ceylon. Weinkauff, believing that the C. tabescens of authors is the true C. teres, Gmel., has named this species C. subteres. CYPRyEA. 171 C. CAURICA, Linn.

Whitish, mottled with minute yellowish-brown specks, sides whitish to pale orange, ornamented here and there with dark conspicuous spots, base orange tinged with gray, teeth very strong, whitish, extending partially over the base on each side. Length, -D-1'8 inches. Indian and Pacific Ocean*. A most abundant species, varying from long and rounded forms, with thin sides, to those short and depressed, with thickened sides. The dorsal surface is frequently ornamented with a reddish-brown spot. A blackish-brown variety from New Caledonia is the C. obscura, Rossiter. C. ORUENTA, Gmel. PL 6, fig. 97. Differs from the preceding in the delicate dorsal coloring, which is interrupted by more or less distinct white spots of unequal size ; the side spots are purple and the interstices of the teeth bright red ; the teeth on the columella are usually confined more to the margin of the aperture. Length, -8-1-8 inches. Indian Ocean, N. S. Wales. C. STOLIDA, Linn. PI. 5, figs. 91, 92, 85 ; PI. 6, fig. 7. Bluish, painted with minute chestnut dots, with a large brown central square spot connected with half-square spots of the same color at each corner, base paler blue, teeth and extremities dark orange, the teeth extend somewhat over the base, mar- ginal dots very small. Length, 1-1-1-5 inches. Ceylon, Borneo, Sandwich Is. (?), N. Caledonia. C. breridentuta, Sowb. (fig. 85), is a variety in which the teeth are short, rounded and fewer in number; the}' are con- fined to the margin of the aperture, and are not tinted; the dorsal appearance is like incompletely colored specimens of stolida. C. Crossei, Marie (PI. 6, iig. 7), is another variety in which the extremities are greatly produced and curve upward, the cent nil spot of the typical stolida is here extended into a band and the whole shell has the distorted appearance so peculiar to many of the species from New Caledonia. The teeth are large, white and extend over the base of the shell. 172 CYPRjEA. C. ERYTHR^ENSIS, Beck. PL 5, figs. 93, 94.

Back humped, brown, covered with light brown or white spots of irregular size, sides and base dark brown, almost black ; teeth prominent, margin angulated. Length, 2'3-4 inches. Samoa, New Caledonia, Borneo, Ceylon. The 3'oung shell (fig. 11) is first fulvous-brown, with bands of a yellowish hue arranged in waves, later the waves become massed, leaving the yellow in triangular flame-like spots ; the margins do not thicken and become angulate until after the development of the teeth. This mollusk must possess great muscular power, for its shell is the heaviest and most solid of the genus. C. CAPUT-SERPENTIS, Linn. PI. 6, figs. 98-100; PL 23, fig. 59, 1 1 eddish or blackish brown ; the spots on the back having the appearance of snow-white specks of unequal size ; extremities tipped with white ; base grayish white, teeth conspicuous, white. Length. '95-1-35 inches. Indian and Pacific Oceans. The young shell (fig. 100) is ashy blue, with a single, rather broad central band. A more elongate variety (PL 23, fig. 59) of a uniformly darker color and with margins less angular, has been wrongly identified by authors as the C. caput-anguis, Phil. Com- pared with caput-serpentis, P< s it is smaller in size, and the spots are smaller, but specimens labeled caput-anguis and sent to the Philada. Acad. Nat. Sciences by Mr. Brazier, who collected them at Ballenger River. X. S. \\., are fully as large as the typical form. The animal of C. caput-serpentis is brown, tentacula red-spotted. 174 CYPR^EA. *** Spots extending over the base. C. MAPPA, Linn. PI. 7, figs. 12-14 ; PL 8, fig. 1 7. Back violet-brown, arranged in longitudinal lines of a hiero- glyphic character, dorsal line whitish and peculiarly branched ; sides and base whitish to pink, teeth saffron-red, numerous, and confined to the interior of the aperture ; base sometimes orna- mented on the columellar side with a violet blotch. Length, 2-3-3-4 inches. Xcw Caledonia, Java, Indian 0. C. nigricans, Montr. (PI. 8, fig. 17), is a rostrate variety from New Caledonia, the dorsal surface of which is black. Length, 3'85 inches. C. ARABICA, Linn. PL 8, figs. 18, 19, 23, 24. Back livid brown, with a line ornamentation similar to C. mappa, the dorsal line is straight and the spots more numerous, those on the sides being dark-brown, base tinged brownish ; teeth reddish brown; extremities blackish. Length, 1-6-3 inches. Samoa, New Caledonia, Australia, Indian Ocean. Young shell bluish, banded with brown waves. Animal black- brown, with a yellow edge to the foot. C. ct/la/ifina, Duel. (fig. 24), is a grayish variety with white spots, improperly credited to California. An oblong, rostrate, dark-brown or nearly black form, with black spots and a whitish base and beaks, found at New Cale- donia, has been incorrectly identified as cyhiHtina. For this variety I propose the name niger (fig. 23). C. RETICULATA, Martyn. PL 8, figs. 20-22. Differs from C. Arabica, its nearest ally, in being broader and having more thickened sides, the dorsal spots are more crowded and sometimes run together, presenting a clouded sur- face ; base dull milky-white to bluish, the columellar side orna- mented with a dark reddish brown blotch near the middle of the shell ; teeth stronger than those of C. Arabica, but similarly colored ; aperture wider. Length, 1-4-3 inches. Indian and Pacific Oceans. This species sometimes very closely resembles the preceding. It can, however, be distinguished by the increased number of the CYPR.EA. 175 spots, and the comparative absence of the hieroglyphic markings so peculiar to the typical C. Arabica. The young shell is very much like that of Arabica. The small variety, C. intermedia, Gray (fig. 20), differs in having a creamy-white base without the brown blotch, it being ornamented instead with numerous small brown spots that extend over the margins ; the dorsal spots are much smaller. Length, 1—1*8 inches. By an error of the printer the illustration of fig. 20 is marked rj natural size. The figures should be erased. * C. HISTRIO, Meusch. PI. 8, figs. 25, 26. More pyriform than C. reticulata, sides less thickened, base white, without the brown-blotch ornamentation. Length, 2*5-3 inches. Tonga Tabou ; Indian Ocean. Although some monographers have placed this with the synonomy of C. reticulata, yet I have always been able to sepa- rate the two. There is, however, a close relationship between Arabica, reticulata and histrio, but not more so than is to be found in many other groups belonging to this interesting family. C. ARABICULA, Lam. PI. 9, figs. 35, 36. Bluish green, very closely reticulately painted with brown; margins reddish brown and spotted with black, extremities pro- duced angularly, base whitish, teeth fine, deeply cut.

Grayish yellow, longitudinally closely lined with chestnut- brown ; margins like those of the preceding species. Length, about '8 inch. Red Sea. Weinkauff says of this species that it presents on the dorsal surface, the appearance of C. Arabica in miniature, while its base resembles arabicula. C. STERCORARIA, Linn. PI. 9, figs. 27, 28. Greenish blue, the brown spots frequently running together, 170 . CYPR^EA. giving the back a clouded appearance ; sides and base brown ; teeth whitish. Length, 1-8-3-2 inches. . West Africa. Young shell ashy brown, banded. When the shell presents a humped appearance on the back, it forms the C. rattus, Lam., which can hardly be said to be even a variety, since the young shells of stercoraria are all more or less humped. C. SCOTTT, Brod. PI. 9, figs. 29, 30. Pale ashy blue, clouded with yellowish brown ; sides and base very dark brown ; aperture narrow ; teeth small, nearly obsolete on the columellar side. Length, 2-8-3*5 inches. West Australia. A peculiar oblong boat-shaped shell with the extremities pro- duced and curved upwards. C. TIIERSITES, Gask. PI. 9, figs. 31, 32. Shorter and more gibbous than G. Scotti, teeth on the outer lip much stronger ; the colors are deeper and the dorsal spots are more clouded ; base near the aperture white. Length, 2'75-3 inches. South Australia. Specimens of this richly-colored shell have been found painted almost jet-black. C. MARGINATA, Cask. PL 9, figs. 33, 34. Very light brown, some of the dorsal spots running together, giving an irregular lined appearance. Length, 2'25 inches. A u sir alia. This shell has such an immature look that it is most likely the young of C. ther 'sites. It is very rare. C. DECIPIENS, E. A. Smith. PI. 10, figs. 39, 40. Smaller than C. ther sites, back higher and more humped, base flatter and of a rich orange-red color, which extends over the sides of the shell ; body-whorl within the aperture, white.

Cream-color with a cinnamon tinge, variegated with rather large orange-brown spots of irregular size, and irregularly dis- CYPR^EA. 177 tributed, the cinnamon tinge slightly deeper at the extremities, base white ; teeth thick and faint purplish white. Length, 3 inches. Dampier's 7s., West Australia. This shell, which Dr. J. C. Cox has lately published under the name C. Thatclieri, was fully described in the Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist., xix, 1849, by Mr. G. B. Sowerby, notwithstanding the statement in Thes. Conch, that " no publication strictly so- called " of C venusta, " can now be proved." The species is very rare. Group B. Shell sometimes nodose or tuberculated. C. MUS, Linn. PL 10, figs. 41, 42, 43. Shell oval, marbled with olive-brown, especially near the sides, which are but faintl}r margined ; dorsal line pale, and bordered with brown spots, which are sometimes scattered over the dorsal surface ; posterior extremity ornamented with a large brown spot, base ash-brown, teeth brown, nearly obsolete on the* colu- mella, which is stained dark brown. Length, 1'25-1'75 inches. Atlantic 0., Mediterranean. Fossil near Plaisantin. The name C. bicornis (fig. 43) lias been suggested for the nodose examples. Young shell, ventricose, pale ash-brown, and longitudinally peculiarly waved. C. LEUCOSTOMA, Gask. PI. 10, figs. 37, 38.

Maldive /s., Australia, Taheiti, Japan. 178 CYPR^A. C. icterina, Lam. (PI. 23, fig. 62), is a smooth, elongate variety. C. Barthelemyi, Bernard! (PI. 11, figs. 53, 54), is a distorted variety from New Caledonia. Length, 1'45 inches. C. ethnographica, Rochebr. (PI. 23, fig. 63), is a small tuber- culated form, ornamented with a }7ellow ring. G. mercatorium, Rocliebr. (PI. 10, fig. 40; PI. 11, fig. 52), is dirty yellowish, lightly olive-tinted, and not so strongly tuber- culated. G. atava, Rochebr. (PI. 23, figs. 64, 65), is a small example of G. mercatorium. G. pleuronectes, Rochebr. (PI. 23, figs. 66, 67), resembles somewhat the G. icterina. G. vestimenti, Rochebr., is another name for the distorted variety Barthelemyi. C'. camelorum, Rochebr. (PL 23, fig. 68), is a small smooth oval form, which Dr. Rochebrune says he has collected alive in large quantities on the West Coast of Africa. G. plumaria, Rochebr. (PI. 23, fig. 69), is a narrow-banded form, credited to the Sandwich Is. It appears to be a less developed ataua. Dr. Rochebrune, in a monograph of the mollusks of Cape Yerd Is., says he has fished G. moneta alive at Senegal. ' The species is found fossil in the conglomerate of Santiago, C. Verd. C. ANNULUS, Linn. PL 11, figs. 57-61 ; PL 23, figs. 70-72. Smooth, smoky white ; dorsal surface ornamented with a deep orange ring, which encircles a bluish or grayish centre ; teeth strong, base smooth. Length, '45-1 -2 inches. Indian and Pacific Oceans. Fossil in the Tertiary of Southern Europe. Dr. Layard found specimens in the ruins of Nimrod, which had the appearance of having been used for adornment. G. Noumeensis, Marie (fig. 59), is a New Caledonian variety CYPR^EA. • 179 having double orange lines on the dorsal surface. Length, 1*2 inches. C. Hamyi, Rochebr. (PI. 23, fig. 70), is a rosy white, yellowish- tinted and spotted shell from Zanzibar ; it is probably a small a a mi lux. The spots referred to are not shown on the figure given by Dr. Rochebrune, but appear- on that of an nidus. C. Harmandiana, Rochebr., is well represented by figs. 60, Cl. C. Per rieri, Rochebr. (PI. 23, figs. 71 , 72 ), is one of those forms connecting annul us with obvelata. In the report of the Voyage of the Samarang, Mr. Arthur Adams says that while at Singapore, he observed the fry of G. annulus (fig. 58) adhering to the mantle and other parts of the animal in conglomerated masses of minute transparent shells, which, when placed in a watch-glass of salt water, became dis- integrated, and detached individuals were observed quitting the rest and moving in rapid gyrations by means of two winged membranous expansions. When at rest they returned to the mass or adhered to the edge of the watch-glass. This and the following species are probably only varieties of C. moneta, but the differences are usually so well marked that they can be easily separated. The museum of the Acad. Nat. Sciences of Philadelphia, however, contains a series of these shells showing how they pass from one to another in regular gradation. Dr. Rochebrune, who has studied this group with a view to differentiation (Monograph of the genus Monetaria, Bull. Soc. Malac., France, 1884). has selected a certain number of these transitory forms for specific description, the names of which have been given above; it would be easy to multiply them to almost any extent. C. OBVELATA, Lain. PI. 11, figs. 55, 56. Sides thickened and putled out, giving the dorsal surface an oval, intrenched appearance; back blue, teeth very strong. Length, *G-1 inch.

Shell unspotted, back, teeth and interstices bright orange, base, sides and extremities white. Length, 3*6 inches. Fiji Is., Solomon Is., Loyalty Is. The large and finely colored specimens come from the Loyalty Is., while those from the Fijis are smaller. This species, though an old one, is yet quite rare ; good specimens costing about $10.00 each. The highest order of dignity among the Friendly Islanders, is typified by the permission to wear this shell as an ornament. C. PRINCEPS. Gray. PL 11, fig. 47.

Whitish or yellowish, sometimes clouded with chestnut-brown, promiscuously painted with rather large blackish blue clouded spots ; base white ; teeth large, sometimes bifurcate. Length, 2'5-4 3 inches. Indian and Pacific Oceans. Young shell (fig. 50) chestnut to whitish, ornamented with CYPR^EA. 181 interrupted bands or zigzag rusty -brown flashes. In its growth, this species exhibits a curious variety in the style of coloring. It is first chestnut, the color then breaks up into close-set waved blotches, then a coating of white follows, upon which is deposited a series of zigzag flames. There is a second layer of white enamel which nearly obscures these zigzag markings, and a number of dark spots are deposited. These are again over- spread by a third white coating intermixed with numerous rich black and brown spots. The soft parts adhere so firmly to the shell that they cannot be removed until decomposition has taken place. C. PANTHERINA, Soland. PI. 12, figs. 62, 63.

Length, -9-1-2 inches. Portland, Victoria. Referring to C. angustata, Dr. Gray says : " When complete, the back of the shell is pale whitish brown, with a broad sub- central dorsal line, and minutely freckled with brown specks." As this description corresponds closely with that of declivis, it is quite possible that the two species are identical. C. PIPERITA, Soland. PI. 16, figs. 49, 50, 58. Pale chestnut-brown, obscurely minutely dotted and orna- mented with four narrow interrupted bands, base white, teeth small, sides brown-spotted. Length, -65-1 inch. Australia.

No illustration of this variety having been given, and not having had the privilege of seeing specimens of C. Jlaveola at the time, I was led into the error of describing it as C. Helense (figs. 20, 21). C. CERNICA, Sowb. PI. 19, figs. 23, 24. Yellow, dorsal spots white, numerous, those on the margins reddish-brown, extending around the extremities, which, together with the base, are white ; outer teeth strong. Length, '75-1 inch. Mauritius. Closely allied to C.flaveola, Linn. C. QANGRANOSA, Soland. PL 19, figs. 18, 19, 25-28. Differs from G. Jlaveola, Linn., in having in addition to the white dorsal spots, which are very small, occasional brown eyes 196 CYPB^lA. sprinkled over the surface ; the marginal spots are nearly obso- lete, and the under side of both extremities is stained orange. Length, -6-1 inch. Ceylon, China. C. Boivini, Kiener (figs. 25, 26), is a milky-white variety with white extremities, usually presenting a worn appearance. C. Reentsi, Dunker (figs. 27, 28), is another form with the dorsal surface lined transversely, and the extremities spotted with reddish-brown ; it looks like a young shell. Group C. (Gaskoinia, Roberts.) Shell smooth, edentulate. C. EDENTULA, Sowb. PL 19, figs. 29, 30. Shorter and more inflated than C. Algoensis, from which it is distinguished by the absence of teeth. Length, 1 inch. Southern Africa. Group D. ( Cyproeovula, Gray.) Shell ribbed transversely. C. ADAMSONT, Gray. PI. 19, figs. 32, 33. White, conspicuously blotched with orange-brown. Length, -5--T inch. Philippines, I. Bourbon. C. CAPENSIS, Gray. PL 19, figs. 34, 35. Yellowish or reddish brown, deeply umbilicated, the ridges extend over the base of the shell.

Grayish to brownish, pustules whitish, small, numerous ; extremities tipped with reddish brown, base dirty white to brown, teeth extended across the base on each side. Length, '5-'9 inch. Indian and Pacific Oceans. Young shell usually brown, without pustules. C. interstincta, Wood (figs. 42, 43, 44), is a whitish or brownish variety with larger and less numerous pustules, which are sometimes partially obsolete, the teeth are coarser, darker in color, and do not always extend entirely across the base. CYPILEA. 19t In his description of G. limacina, Lamarck refers to two figures, tlie one from Lister being a well-marked C. staphyleea, while the other corresponds to C. interstincta. C. PUSTULATA, Lam. PI. 20, fig. 45, 46, 52. Lead-color, covered with transverse striae, and armed with numerous prominent reddish pimples, those in the middle being the1 largest ; base chocolate, teeth extending across the base in conspicuous ridges, ribs whitish. Length, '5--0 inch. Panama, Mazatlan. Younger shell (fig. 52) with the back cancellated but destitute of pimples, which do not appear until the teeth have become considerably developed. C. NUCLEUS, Linn. PI. 20, figs. 48, 49. Whitish, nodules dull brown, the lateral ones united together by fine ridges. Length, '55--tl5 inch. Indian and Pacific Oceans. C. MADAGASCARIENSIS, Gmel. PI. 20, figs. 65, 66 ; PL 19, fig. 38. Larger and much more depressed than the preceding, pustules larger and less numerous; the ridges on the outer lip are alter- nately larger and smaller. Length, 1-1-3 inches. Madagascar ; Sandwich Is. (Pease). G. granulata, Pease (PI. 19, tig. 38) is a younger example of this species ; in it, the basal ridges are fewer, and do not extend to the margin, but usually become obsolete as they approach it ; in some specimens the dorsal ridges are also wanting. Section IV. (Epona, II. and A. Ad.) Shell globose, back either smooth or with elevated tubercles, extremities produced. C. ANNULATA, Gray. PI. 20, figs. 50, 51.

Yellowish, granulose, irregularly blotched with brown, sides 198 TRIVIA. dotted with brown, base conspicuously painted with four chestnut spots, teeth usually elongated across the base. Length, -5-"9 inch. Mauritius, Borneo, New Caledonia. This species sometimes presents an unusually humped appear- ance, the basal spots being often obsolete and the extremities greatly produced ; such shells are mostly whitish and strongly granulose, with the dorsal line well marked. I can see no reason for separating either C. Lienardi (figs. 57, 58), or G. tricornis (figs. 61, 62), both of which were described by Dr. Jousseaume ; a careful examination of specimens of these received from Mauritius, showing scarcety a varietal difference. Dr. Jousseaume himself admits that Lienardi is the veritable cicercula. C. GLOBULUS, Linn. PL 20, figs. 59, (>0. Very closely allied to C. cicercula ; the main difference lies in its more oblong form ; the dorsal line is absent, as are also the granulations and the chestnut spots. Length, *8 inch. Mauritius, Borneo, New Caledonia. I believe future investigation will prove the identity of this with C. cicercula. C. CHILDRENI, Gray. PL 20, figs. 53, 54. Pale yellowish brown, transversely ribbed throughout, ribs a shade darker, extremities carinately winged beneath, teeth minute. Length, -5-'6 inch. Annaa I., Borneo, New Caledonia. This is the only species at present known possessing the peculiar winged projections at the base of the extremities. Subgenus TRIVIA, Gray. Shell subglobular, cross-ribbed, front of columella internally concave, ribbed. Group A. Shell generally thin, aperture wide, outer lip narrow, margined. T. ONISCUS, Lam. PL 21, figs. 67, 68.

Differs from G. oniscus in having rather finer ribs, and in the absence of a dorsal impression. Length, '6--7 inch. West Indies (Krebs), Cape of Good Hope (?) This species was described by Gray as T. carnea, and by- Wood as G. rosea. - T. VESICULARIS, Gask. PL 21, figs. 73, 74.

Subglobose, outer lip expanded posteriorly, dorsal impression short and very deep. Length, '3 inch. Hab. (?) T. NIVEA, Gray. PL 21, figs. 80, 81. Globose, extremities very obtuse, ribs narrow, wrinkled. Length, -35-'45 inch. West Indies. There has been some confusion regarding this species, caused partly by the name " nivea " having been first given by Dr. Gray to a shell which* was afterwards recognized us a white variety of C. turdus. Later he adopted the same name from Solander MSS. for what the eminent conchologist Gaskoin, as well as myself, believed to be Lamarck's oryza ; but the characters given, and 200 TRIVIA. the different distribution are sufficient to separate the two, and I follow later monographers by adopting T. nivea. This species is the T. scabriuscula, Kien., not Gray. - T. ORYZA, Lam. PL 21, figs. 82, 83, 79. Ovate, extremities produced, ribs fine, dorsal impression long. Length, '30-'45 inch. Sandwich /s., Australia, Philippines. Dr. Dunker in " Mai. Blatt." for 1861, refers to a small variety from the Red Sea, having only a faint dorsal sulcus. T. scabriuscula, Gray (fig. 79) is a variety characterized by rather more produced rostrated extremities and a shorter dorsal impression. T. oryza is as peculiarly East Indian as T. nivea is West Indian. T. GRANDO, Gask. PI. 21, figs. 86, 87. ' Smaller and more globose than the preceding, ribs extremely fine and delicate, aperture rather wide, spire prominent. Length, '26 inch. Manilla. T. INSECTA, Mighels. PL 21, figs. 84, 85. Elongate ovate, subrostrate, ribs very fine, back depressed, dorsal sulcus long. Length, -1--2 inch. Sandwich Islands, Australia. Kiener called this species C. hordacea. T. VITREA, Gask. PL 21, figs. 88, 89. Globose, aperture rather narrow, and slightly curved inwards, ribs coarse, texture pellucid. Length, '25 inch. Philippines. Weinkauff thinks this species and T. sulcata belong together. T. GLOBOSA, Gray. PL 21, figs. 92, 93. Round like a pea, aperture very narrow, dorsal impression sharply cut and reaching to the extremities. Length, -1--2 inch. West Indies ; Sandwich Is.; Australia. Described by Kiener as T. pilula and by Mighels as T. sphserula. Weinkauff separates T. pilula, giving this name to the shell TRIVIA. 201 from the Pacific region, and retains T. globosa for the West Indian form, but I have not been able to separate the two. T. subrostrata, var. alba, Krebs, is most likely T. globosa; the two species are very similar in form. T. PAUCILIRATA, Sowb. PI. 21, figs 98, 99. Ovate, ribs coarse, dorsal impression conspicuous. Length, -25 inch. Hab. (?) ** Shell usually pinkish, spotted. T. PEDICULUS, Linn. PL 21, figs. 94-97. Fleshy white marbled with pale brown, especially towards the sides, margin ridged, dorsal spots black, ribs coarse, nodular, interior of colnmella white. Length, '25-'6o inch. Florida, West Indies. A species presenting considerable variation. T. labiosa, Gask. (fig. 97), is a variety in which the marginal ridge is exaggerated ; the ribs are fewer in number and of a whitish color, while in T. cimex, H. Owen (fig. 96), there is an increased tendency to crenulation in the dorsal ribs, and an amalgamation of the dark spots on the right side into one blotch. Fossil, T. pediculus occurs in the Pliocene clay beds of Costa Rica (W. M. Gabb). T. SUFFUSA, Gray. PL 21, figs. 1, 2, 100, 0 blong ovate, ribs fine, promiscuously variegated and sprinkled with brown, extremities pink, base whitish. Length, *3-*5 inch. West Indies. Described by Duclos, under the name T. Armandina. T. pullata, H. Owen (fig. 100), presents the peculiarity of the spots being amalgamated into a single tint. T. PACIFICA, Gray.

Gulf of California (Stearns), Acapulco, Galapagos Is. T. QUADRIPUNCTATA, Gray. PL 22, figs. 5, 6. llotundly ovate, back ornamented with four conspicuous red 14 202 TRIVIA. dots, two on each side of the dorsal groove, alternating one with the other ; ribs fine. Length, '20-'35 inch. The T. rotunda, Kiener. West Indies, Florida. T. EXIGUA, Gray. PL 22, figs. 9, 10, 17. Ovate, .extremities produced, beaked, white, stained and varie- gated with bright rose, ribs fine. Length, -15--2 inch. Sandwich Islands, New Caledonia. A most beautiful little shell, described also by Duclos, as T. tremeza, and by Dr. Gould, as T. gemmula. T. corrugata, Pease (fig. 11), differs in having fewer and stronger ribs ; the pink color is not so persistent, some of the specimens being pure white. 5^*^ Shell brownish. T. RADIANS, Lam. PL 22, figs. 13, 14, 11, 12. Rotundly ovate, sides dilated, dorsal impression broad, nodose on each side, the ribs diverging from the nodules, back stained with a dark blotch, base depressed. Length, -65-'8 inch. Lower California, Ecuador. T. rota, WeinkaufF (figs. 11, 12), is a distant variety with a color more diffused and nearer T. Solandri. T. SOLANDRI, Gray. PL 22, figs. 15, 16. More rounded at the base than the preceding, from which it can be easily distinguished by its minute row of outer teeth, there being an intermediate one between each of those termi- nating the ribs. Length, -55--80 inch. Santa Barbara, Cal. — Acapulco. T. COSTIS-PUNCTATA, Gask. PL 22, figs. 7, 8. Closely allied to T. radians. Its color is that of the ordinary T. pediculus, the ribs are spotted, and the dorsal groove is narrow, the base is rounded. Length, *6 inch. Hob. (?) T. CALIFORNIA, Gray. PL 22, figs. 18, 19, 20, 3T. Ovate, rather globose ; ribs distant, dorsal impression faint, whitish ; teeth whitish. Length, '35-'55 inch. California. The animal is vivid orange-scarlet, reddish brown at the end of the proboscis. When the mantle is extended over the back of the shell its color is neutralized by the purple of the latter. T. depauperata, Sowb. (fig. 31), was described from a worn specimen. TRIVIA. 203 T. MAUGERI, Gray. PL 22, figs. 23, 24.

Length, -35-'5 inch. California — Ecuador. Described by Dufresne as T. lathy rus. T. FUSCA, Gray. PL 22, figs. 35, 36. Smaller, narrower and more produced than the preceding, ribs finer and of the same color as the shell. Length, -15--30 inch. Galapagos Is. T. SUBROSTRATA, Gray. PL 22, figs. 38, 39. Globose, dark chocolate-brown, extremities slightly beaked, dorsal line well marked. Length, -15--3 inch. West Indies. Locality given in Mazatlan Catalogue by Dr. Carpenter is improbable. As before stated, the white variety of this species mentioned in Krebs' Catalogue is most likely T. globosa, Gray. b. Having no dorsal impression. * Shell white. T. CANDIDULA, Gask. PL 22, figs. 33, 34. Globosely ovate, ribs strong, rather conspicuous. Length, -25 inch. Canary Is., Azores, Spanish Coast (Hidalgo), Mexico. Credited also to several Pacific localities, the correctness of which is somewhat doubtful. This species was almost simultaneously described by Duclos as T. olorina, and by Beck as T. approximans. 204 TRIVIA. T. PRODUCTA, Gask. PL 22, figs. 25, 26. Ovate, sides a little dilated, extremities peculiarly produced, ribs fine. Length, -5 inch. Borneo ; Agulhas Bank, S. Africa ; Australia. T. PELLUCTDULA, Gask. PL 22, figs. 31, 32. Ovate, extremities produced, ribs very fine, aperture narrow and nearly straight. Length, '18--3 inch. Pacific Ocean. T. BREVISSIMA, Sowb. PL 21, figs. 90, 91.

Ovate, extremities obtusely produced and tinged rose-red, ribs fine. Length, -25-'4 inch. Ceylon, Borneo. T. AFFINIS, Marrat. PL 23, figs. 40, 41. Oblong-ovate, pale, with indications of color, extremities pro- duced, broad, ribs rather coarse. Length, *3 inch. Hab. (?) The type specimens were found in a dealer's stock of West Indian shells, but as no collectors have reported it from that locality, and as the shell closely resembles T. Pacifica, except in the absence of any dorsal impression, I am inclined to think it belongs to a Pacific fauna. T. RUBESCENS, Gray. PL 23, figs. 42, 43. Globosely ovate, pale pinkish or reddish, ribs fine. Length, -3-'4 inch. Galapagos I. Somewhat of the form of T. candidula, Gask. T. FORMOSA, Gask. PL 23, figs. 44-47. Globose, thin, rather inflated ; whitish, delicately suffused with rose, ribs and teeth numerous, fine. Length, about *5 inch. Cape of Good Hope. T. multilirata, Sowb. (figs. 46, 47), credited to the Adriatic, TRIVIA. 205 the author says was first figured for T. formosa. It resembles a more adult shell than our illustration of the latter, copied from Thes. Conch., and is quite likely the same. Dr. Weinkauff believes T. formosa to be close to T. Europsea, Mont., if not identical. T. EUROP^A, Montagu. PI. 23, figs. 48-51. Ovate, flesh-color, tinged with fulvous, sparingly spotted with brown, closely ribbed, base white. Length, -3-'5 inch. Mediterranean Sea to Norway. Found fossil to the Miocene, it being common in the Red Crag. The fossil form was described as T. sphsericulata by Lam., and T. coccinelloides by Sowb. While the shell of T. Europsea is plain, the animal presents a striking contrast, it being predominantly yellow, brown and pink ; the mantle is very large and more or less studded with wart-like processes of a pale orange-brown with white or 3rellow papillae, occasionally variegated by red spots and a few purplish blotches. It is found on stony and coral ground from low-water mark to 100 fathoms. According to I)r. J. Gwyn Jeffreys, the northern specimens are usually unspotted, while those found south are smaller and more frequently spotted. T. arctica, Montagu, is the unspotted form ; T. bullata, of the same author, represents the young shell (fig. 50). Bulla diaphana, -Montagu (fig. 51), is a very young example of the same ; so is the Bulla Candida, Macgillivray. The species was also described by Lamarck as T. coccinella, and by Sars as T. Norvegica, while Risso gave it the name T. Mediterranea. The late Chas. Kingsley, Canon of Westminster, in a letter to his friend H. P. GoSse, January 3d, 1854, says: "I have seen T. Europxa during the last few days suspend itself from the under side of low-tide rocks by a glutinous thread an inch or more in length, and when in captivity float on the surface by means of a similar thread attached to a glutinous bubble." — (Life of Chas. Kingsley.) 206 CYPELEID.E. T. NAPOLINA, Duclos. PI. 23, fig. 52. Much narrower and more produced than the preceding, its ribs are rather finer and more convergent ; its color is a dingy white, and it has only two spots, one at each end of the dorsum. Length, -35-'45 inch. Senegal, N. W. Australia. Credited also to St. Vincent, Cape Verd, by M. de Cessac. Described by Gaskoin as T. obscura. T. AUSTEALIS, Lam. PI. 23, figs. 53, 54. Oblong-ovate, rather thin, irregularly painted with light brown blotches, ribs fine, nearly obsolete on the back, extremities tinted with rose, base white. Length, -4--15 inch. New South Wales. Common at this locality, living in from 10 to 15 fms. **£ Shell brown. T. PULEX, Soland. PI. 23, figs. 55, 56. Ovate, ribs fine, smooth or obsolete on the back, sides and base white. Length, '3 inch.

Galapagos Is., Gulf of California (Stearns). Is probably the Trivia mentioned in the Mazatlan Catalogue as being T. subrostrata. Unidentified Species of Gyprseidae. C. CAPUT-ANGUIS, Philippi. An unfigured species without known locality, less than one- half inch in length, brown between the teeth, and white-spotted at the extremities. Said to present a dorsal surface similar to G. caput-serpenlis, Linn., which has led authors to incorrectly place it in the synonomy of that species. CYPFLEID^E. 20f C. PARVULA, Philippi.

Shell small, limpet-like, irregular, with a short spire which becomes concealed with the growth, the surface rad lately ribbed when young ; mouth large and wide, subcanaliculated in front, the lips irregular, simple in the adult, the inner one callously excavated, no operculum. Animal with small foot, mantle-margin thickened, not reflected over the shell, siphon not produced, eyes sessile at the external base of the tentacles. Dentition 3*1 *3, the central tooth sub- quadrangular, multicuspidate, the laterals transverse, multi- cuspidate, the marginals long and narrow, with three profound digitations ; exterior to the marginals is a small supplementary plate (PI. 1, fig. 1). Young shells have the regular form of Trivia (to which the dentition approximates), with a plicate columella and dentate lip, but its parasitic habits (on polyps) cause subsequent irregular growth, so that its relationships were for a long period very uncertain. The dentition fixes its place between Cyprseidae and Ovulidte. Genus PEDICULARIA, Swainson, 1840. Characters, those of the family. Very few species are known, but the geographical range of the genus is world-wide in warm seas. Fossil, miocene of Sicily. The subgenus Dentiora, Pease. 186'2, which is founded on a shell three and a half millimetres in length, is probably a juvenile Pedicularia ; it is said to be ovate, with subinflected lip, which is lirate, the columella plane or excavated, ridged above, com- pressed below and sharply dentate, the outer surface spirally subgranosely striated. Thy re us, Phil., is a synonym of Pedicu- laria. FAMILY PEDIGULARIID^. Genus PEDICULARIA, Swainson, 1840. P. SICULA, Swainson. PI. 1, figs. 2, 3. Adult irregular, more or less compressed at the sides, having a limpet-like appearance, and modified as to outline by the surface upon which it lives ; the spiral lines of the young shell 17 (241) '242 PEDICULARIA. are usually persistent on a portion of the back of the adult; whitish, tinged with brown within. Length, 10 mill. Sicily, Isle of Hyeres, France ; on polyps. Thyreus paradoxus, Phil., and probably Gadinia lateralis, Requien, are synonyms. P. CALIFORNICA, Newcomb. PL 1, fig. 4. Depressly globose, crimson-colored, minutely transversely striated, above rounded, below broadly rounded ; lip expanded, semicircular; columella thick, dilated within, straight ; aperture elongately subovate ; extremities broadly notched. Length, 10 mill. Southern California, on coral. P. JAPONICA, Dall. PI. 1, fig. 5. . Elongated, sinuated ; whitish, irregularly suffused with rose- pink, apex yellowish pink, interior darker, livid pink; exter- nally rather coarsely grooved and striated ; apex somewhat mammillated, vertex umbilicated ; columella straight, incon- spicuous ; lateral margins much produced, concave, effuse, extremities narrow, canaliculate. Length, -5 inch. Niphon, Japan, 60 fms., on Gorgonia. Is more coarsely striate than P. Pacifica, and umbilicated, also differing in color. P. Californica is shorter and more globose, with a thicker columella. P. PACIFICA, Pease. PI. 1, figs. 6, 7. Rather solid, oblong, much contracted in the middle, irregular in shape ; radiately ornamented with elevated granulose striae, decussated by concentric striae; apex straight, involute, im- mersed ; wholly of either reddish, violet, purple or yellowish color. Length, 8 mill. Ins. Apaian. Smaller than the next species, the apex oblique and not con- tracted in the middle. P. ELEGANTISSIMA, Desh. PI. 1, figS. 8, 9. Ovate oblong, very convex on the back, elegantly transversely striate, apex umbilicate ; vivid violaceous. Length, 6 mill. Isle of Bourbon, Mauritius. P. Lienardi, Robillard, is a synonym. P. DECUSSATA, Gould. (Unfigured). Off Coast of Georgia. P. ALBIDA, Dall. (Unfigured). West Indies. P. (DENTIORA) RUBIDA, Pease. (ITnligiuvd). Sandwich Islands. FAMILY OVULID&. Shell ruin t I'd closely to the Cypnuidte in general form, but diHering in being involute in all stages of growth, whilst the Cowries exhibit a short spire when young, which becomes involute and more or less concealed by the enlargement of the body-whorl with ndvancing age; there is no epidermis, and the porcellanons surface is usually smooth (sometimes lightly spirally striate), sometimes gibbous, or transversely snbcarinated, whitish or not richly colored ; extremities more or less beaked, canalic- ulated or emarginated ; aperture the entire length of the shell, rather narrow, the inner lip smooth, the outer lip usually toothed or plicate, sometimes smooth, inflexed. Operculum none. Animal covering the shell with its mantle-lobes after the manner of Cyprsea, but the head furnished with a contractile snout rather than a retractile proboscis. Dentition 3' 1*3, the central tooth being subtiiangular, with several cusps, the laterals falciform, with dentate margin, the marginals subflabelliform with finely pectinated margins (PI. 1, fig. 10). Genus OYULA, Bruguiere, 1789. The characters are those of the family. H. and A. Adams, in their " Genera of Recent Mollusca," have characterized a few genera which it is convenient to retain, giving them the lower rank of subgenera, however, as the main tVature distinguishing them is the greater or less extension of the rostrated extremities, a character of somewhat gradual development through the series. The typical group, which .Messrs. Adams have distinguished as Amphiperas, Gronov., has a Cyprseiform shell, ovoid, ventricose, with but slightly rostrated extremities. The animal has a large foot and the mantle-margin is simple. 0. ovum, Linn. There are fifty recent species, distributed throughout the world, in warm latitudes only. A few cretaceous species have been described; all of which, with a single exception (0. antiquata, d'Orb., Cret. of India), are either Cyprajas or doubtful. The genus is moderately represented in the tertiary. The genus Simula, Risso, is characterized by its sharp outer lip, and is still retained b}- authors, although, as first shown by 244 OVULID^E. myself (Am. Jour. Conch., i, 95), and afterwards confirmed by the late Dr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys and others, the animal, under favorable circumstances, sometimes completes its shell by the addition of a thickened lip, when the distinction from the typical group disappears. Ordinarily Simnia has the sharp lip and it may be considered a case of arrested growth, paralleled by that of Planorbis trivolms — which only in northern waters takes on its expanded lip along with more vigorous growth and larger size. Subgenus CYPHOMA, Bolten, 1798. Back of shell with a median transverse obtuse ridge, lip smoothish or feebly crenulated. 0. gibbosa, Linn. Ultimus, Montfort, and Carinea, Swainson, are synonyms. Subgenus VOLVA, Bolten, 1798. Shell ventricose in the middle, both extremities prolonged into canals, aperture narrow, lip inflected and margined exteriorly, without teeth, no columellar plication. Mantle-margin with glandular tubercles, foot narrow, folded lengthwise on itself, adapted for creeping on the narrow, rounded branches of gorgonise and corals — on which it is supposed to feed. Birostra, Swains., and Radius, Montf., are synonyms. Subgenus NEOSIMNIA, Fischer, 1884. Shell resembling in form the preceding group, but the extremities less prolonged, the columella furnished behind with an oblique callous plication. The habits of the animal appear to be the same as Yolva. ? Subgenus CRITHE, Gould, 1860. Shell ovuliform, rostrated at the extremities, aperture narrow, arcuated ; outer lip simple, base with transverse ridges passing into the aperture and making teeth on the columellar lip. Animal with a long foot, truncate anteriorly, obtuse posteriorly, .tentacles broad, short, triangular, with minute eyes at their exterior base. Described from a single minute species obtained by Stimpson in the China Sea. It is probably a juvenile, and must remain a doubtful group until rediscovered — the types having been destroyed. 245 Subgenus CALPURNUS, Montfort. 1810. Shell gibbous, subcarinated across the back, with at either extremity a dorsal tubercle encircled by a groove, outer lip dentate on the margin. Animal having a large foot, the mantle not tuberculate and covering only a portion of the back of the shell. Apparently rather closely related/to Cyprsea, but the dentition being unknown, its definite place remains uncertain. In addition to the above, the following fossil forms have been described : — TRANSOVULA, Gregorio, 1880. Shell oval, slightly rostrated, lip denticulated, columellar margin crenulated. 0. Schefferi, Eocene of Sicily. DIAMEZA, Deshayes, 1865. Shell elongated, mucronated be- hind, lip sharp, aperture oblong, hardly narrowed in front. 0. media. Desh. Eocene, Paris basin. Somewhat resembles Tere- bellum. GISORTIA, Jonsseaume, 1884. Described as a group of Cyprse- idse, but placed doubtfully under Ovula by Fischer. It includes recent as well as Eocene species, and I think its affinities most decidedly with Cyprsea, rather than with Ovula. Several monographs of Ovula have been published : — L. C. Kiener. Coquilles vivantes, 23 species. G. B. Sowerby. Thesaurus Conchyliorum, ii, 1855, 48 species. Lovell Reeve. Conchologia Iconica, 1865, 66 species. H. C. Weinkauff. In Kiister's Conchylien Cabinet, 72 species. Also catalogues by : — S. R. Roberts. Am. Jour. Conch., 1865, 72 species. II. C. Weinkauff. Jahrb. Malak. Gesell.. 1882, 66 species. The differences between Ovula and Cyprrea are carefully indi- cated in a paper by Prof. Theodore Gill, entitled " On the rela- tions of the Amphiperasidae," Am. Jour. Conch., vi, 183. 246 OVULA. Genus OVULA, Brug., 178.9. Typical Group. 0. OVUM, Linn. PL 1, figs. 11, 12. White, brownish red within the aperture. Length, 2"5-4'5 inches. East Africa, Indian Ocean, Japar>, Society Is., etc. The animal is blackish, the mantle beset with short filaments. It is 0. oviformis, Lam. (fiir. 12) and 0. alba, Schimi. In full dress many of the Pacific Islanders are decked out with large white Ovulum shells, appended to the waist, elbows, and ankles. Throughout the islands inhabited by the crisp-haired Papuan race, a large species of Ovulum of a very pure white color, resembling porcelain, is employed with great effect by the natives in decorating their houses, temples and canoes. — Sim- monds, Commercial Products of the Sea. 0. TORTILIS, Marty n. PL 2, figs. 19, 20. Smaller and more angularly ventricose than the preceding species ; white, the interior of the aperture rose-color. Length, 2 inches.

Hongkong. Described without locality. 0. Sinensis, Sowb. (figs. 21, 22), from Hongkong, appears to be merely a larger shell of the same species. 0. brevis, Reeve (not Sowerby) and Weinkanff (fig. 15), is probably identical ; the back seems to be angulated in this latter species, or else lightly marked with narrow bands. O. PATULA, Pennant. PL 1, figs. 16-18. White, thin, semitransparent, a little produced at the extremi- ties, with very fine revolving striae, almost microscopic, lip- margin rarely thickened in English specimens, more usually thickened and slightly dentate in Mediterranean examples; columella with a posterior callous fold when adult.

Benthodolium abyssorum, Verrill and Smith (figs. 40, 41), is a synonym. 268 CASSIDID^E. FAMILY CASSIDID^. Shell solid, sttbglobular or triangular, with short spire ; whorls sometimes varicose ; aperture terminating anteriorly in a short, recurved canal ; columella callous, spread out, usually plicate ; outer lip-margin thickened, dentate within. Operculum corneous, concentric, elongated, semilunar, the nucleus at the centre of the inner margin (PL 1, fig. 43). Animal with large head, eyes at the exterior base of the ten- tacles, proboscis cylindrical, extensible, mantle and foot large. Dentition (PL 1, fig. 44\ The Cassides are active and voracious, living in sandy localities and preying on bivalve mollusks. The varices of the shell persist in its interior. Synopsis of Genera. Genus CASSIS (Klein, 1753), Lamarck, 1799. Shell usually rather solid and thick, with the last whorl very large, often varicose ; aperture longitudinal, narrow ; outer lip with a thickened, reflected margin, and dentate within ; inner lip rugosely plicate. On the use of species of Cass'S in cameo cut- ting, see Structural and Systematic Conchology, ii, 200. About twenty-five species are known, inhabiting warm seas. The genus first appeared in the tertiary. Section 1. CASSIS (sensu stricto = Goniogalea, Morch, 1857). Spire short, mouth narrow, dentate, lip externally margined, columella plicate. C.

Operculum corneous, the apex median and marginal, outer edge sinuous. Animal similar to Cassis. The few species are Mediterranean and West Indian. The genus appeared in the cretaceous period, and reached its maxi- mum in the tertiary. Murio, Montfort, 1810; Echiriora, Schum., 1817 ; Galeodaria, Conrad, 1865, and Galeodea, Link, 1807, are synonyms. C. echinophora, Linn. Subgenus SCONSIA, Gray, 1847.

These little shells are known by their transversely ribbed 270 CASSIS. nodulous whorls, and prominent, recurved siphonal canal ; when fresh the surface is covered with a fine velvety epidermis. Morum, Bolten, 1798 ; Ersina, Gray, and Lambidium, Link, are synonyms. The few species occur in the West Indies, Galapagos, China, etc. It is found in the eocene of Europe and miocene of N. America. Section I. ONISCIA (sensu stricto). 0. oniscus, Linn. Plesio- niscia, Fischer, 1884, should be considered synonymous. Section II. ONISCIDIA, Swainson, 1840. *0. cancellata, Sowb. Genus PACHYBATHRON, Gaskoin, 1853.

West Indies. P. marginelloideum, Gask. Some conchologists place this group in the family Marginel- lidae ; the dentition is unknown. Genus CASSIS (Klein, 1753), Lamarck, 1799. Section I. CASSIS, sensu stricto. C. CORNUTA, Linn. PL 2, fig. 49 ; PI. 1, figs. 45, 46. Honey-combed between the revolving ridges, with three spiral rows of distant compressed tubercles — those of the shoulder the most prominent ; yellowish white, more or less tinged with yel- lowish brown, varices and belts sometimes brown-spotted ; colu- mellar and lip expansion much produced and rounded behind, yellowish cream-color, orange-brown within the aperture and between the teeth, which are whitish. Length, 8-12 inches. Indian Ocean, Tranquebar, Mauritius, Japan, Philippines; West Indies. Conrad distinguishes the West Indian specimens under the name of C- labiata, Chemn., as being more oblong, with the lip more widely expanded posteriorly into a flattened plane; the suite of specimens before me does not confirm this distinction. CASSIS. 271 Other synonyms tire C. Amboinensis, Petiver, and Buccinum hr>' ri rostrum, Petiver. C. CAMEO, Stimpson. PI. 2, fig. 50. This fine species has the same ground-coloring as C. cornuta, but may be recognized at once by the interstices of the teeth and ridges on the lip and colnmella being deep chocolate-brown. The outer suriace is irregularly spirally ridged like C. cornuta, but is not honey-combed. Length, 7-10 inches. Beaufort, N. C., to West Indies. First described by Lamarck as C. Madagascariensis, but there is no evidence that it inhabits oriental waters, C. TUBEROSA, Linn. PI. 2, fig. 51. Triangularly ovate, spirally ridged, and very closely longitu- dinally minutely plicate-striate, with three rows of distant spiral tubercles; yellowish brown, thickly marbled and spotted with chestnut and chocolate color, enameled face of columella, and outer lip flesh-white, the former chocolate between the plicae, with a bright chocolate stain in the centre, the latter with choco- late transverse blotches. Length, 6-8 inches. Beaufort, N. C., to West Indies, Brazil. Said to have been collected by Cuming, at the Philippine Islands, and I have a specimen before me stated to have been obtained in Japan ; yet these eastern localities must be considered very doubtful. It is Bucc. striatum, Gronov. ; C. undulata, Humph.; C. rotiindata,Periy. C FLAMMEA, Linn. PI. 1, figs. 47, 48. Oblong-oval, with three or four spiral rows of distant, large, obtuse tubercles, spire, and body-whorl, usually at the base only, distinctly rudely longitudinally ridged; cream-colored, clouded and crescent-marked with chestnut and chocolate; these markings are often apparent on the face, which is stained with chocolate in the middle and between the ridges, interstices of teeth on the outer lip also chocolate-stained, lip sometimes banded across. Length, 4-6 inches. West Indies. This species has also, like some of its predecessors been ascribed to East Indian localities — probably in error. 272 CASSIS. C. SPINOSA, Gronov. PI. 4, fig. 62. Shoulder with small, short, rather close spinous tubercles, occasionally slightly indicated in two or three rows on the body- whorl, which else is smooth, or marked by rugose growth-lines ; above the shoulder are one or two necklace-like rows of small tubercles, appearing on the spire-whorls also ; fleshy or orange- white, with obscure whitish bands, bearing lunate, shaded choco- late spots ; shell rather thin, the columellar callus transparent, showing the color-markings beneath it. Length, 4-8 inches. West Africa, Australia. The synonyms are C. Rumphii, G. tessellata and G. maculosa, of Gmelin, and C.fasciata, Brug. C. FIMBRIATA, Quoy. PI. 3, fig. 55. More strongly longitudinally ridged by growth-lines than the preceding species ; it has the same shoulder-row of spines, but has none above, whilst below, on the body-whorl are two rows of rather prominent rude tubercles ; flesh-white, marbled with light chocolate, with several distant rows of interrupted chocolate or chestnut lines ; the latter show through the columellar callus, and the outer lip is chocolate-banded. Length, 3-4*5 inches. Australia. C. bicarinata, Jonas, is a synonym. Section II. LEVENTA, Gray, 1847. C. COARCTATA, Gray. PI. 2, fig. 52. Shell with three or four spiral rows of obtuse tubercles, and intermediate spiral ridges, which are sometimes broken up into granules; whitish, thickly marbled and spotted with chestnut; columellar callus thin above, showing the color-markings beneath, below stained with orange-brown, as is also the toothed lip-margin. Length, 2'5-3'5 inches. Galapagos 7s. , Panama. Distinguished at once by its outer lip, without external varix or expansion, and contracted above. Section III. CYPR^ECASSIS, Stutchbmy, 1837. C. TENUIS, Gray. PI. 2, fig. 53. Rather thin, whorls nodulous on the shoulder, smooth, or indistinctly nodose in spiral series below, spirally regularly r CASSIS. 273 grooved, groove's usually in pairs, the interstices obsoletely longitudinally ridged, strongly so at the base; whitish, thickly clouded and streaked with orange-brown or chestnut, often with four somewhat obscure bands of brown, with white lunate spots; columellar callus transparent above, orange-brown below, lip banded across with orange-brown. Length, 3-5 inches. Galapagos Is. When young, this species has a lip somewhat approximating to C. coarctata; when adult it is fully reflected. It is C. Masseuse, Kiener. C. TESTICULUS, Linn. PL 2, fig. 54 ; PI. 4, fig. 63. Shell strongly longitudinally ridged, the ridges cut by regular spiral grooves ; flesh-color, spotted with chocolate upon the interspaces of the grooves ; columella plicate its whole length, outer lip strongly dentate, both yellowish white, the iirst shaded with orange-brown below, the latter cross-banded with orange- brown, external lip-margin marked with dark chocolate. Length, 2-3 inches. West Indies. C. CHUMENA, Brug. PI. 3, fig. 56. Spiral snlcations obsolete, upper part of body-whorl with one or two rows of low tubercles. West Africa, Cape Verd Is., West Indies. Is probably a variety only of C. testiculus. C. RUFA, Linn; PL 3, figs. 57, 58. Shell cowiy-shaped, very thick, with three or four spiral rows of prominent nodules, and incised lines between them, decus- sated by longitudinal ridges ; whitish or purplish flesh-color, stained and marbled with orange-red or chocolate ; both lips very thick, yellowish or salmon-colored, orange-red to chocolate in the interstices of the ridges. Length, 5-7 inches. Indian Ocean, Mauritius, Japan. It is fiuccw'im pennatum and B. ventricosum, of Gmelin; B. , of l>orn ; the first and last-named for the juvenile shell. 19 274 CASSIS. Subgenus SEMICASSIS (Klein, 1153), Morch, 1852. Section I. TYPICAL. C. SULCOSA, Bruguiere. PI. 4, fig. 64-67 ; PL 3, figs. 59, 01. Whorls, usually without varices, but often with rugose or tuberculate growth-lines, especially on the spire and upper part of body-whorl, equidistantly spirally groved ; yellowish while, longitudinally streaked with light chestnut, sometimes the streaks are interrupted, forming spiral bands of tessellations; columella rugose and granulate, outer lip plicate-dentate, often enormously thickened. Length, 3-4 inches. Mediterranean Sea, Portugal, W. Coast of Africa, West Indies, Brazil, W. Coast N. America from Panama to Guaymas. A somewhat variable species as to form and sculpture, giving rise to several specific names — some of which I have retained in n. varietal sense, although these forms grade one into another. The typical sulcosa has a somewhat elevated spire, the whorls well-rounded above. It, as well as the varieties, occurs at all the localities for the species. It is C. undulata and C. gibba, Gmelin ; C. decussata, Pennant ; and Brugnonia pulohella, Jeffreys, is probably the fry. Possibly Buccinum inalum, B. cepa and B. globulus, Bolten, are also synonyms. Var. INFLATA, Shaw. PI. 4, fig. 65. Somewhat thinner and more inflated than the t}^pe, often singly varicose, the lip not so much thickened, coloring more generally in tessellations, frequently one-varicose. This variety is the usual form of the West Indies, although it occasionally occurs in Mediterranean specimens. It is C. gran- ulosa, Brug. ; C. tessellata, Pfr. ; C. trifasciata, Gmelin ; C. Isem- gata, Menke ; C. cicatricosa, Gronov. ; C. granulata, Born ; C. ventricosa, Mart. Var. ABBREVIATA, Lam. PI. 3, figs. 61, 59; PI. 4, figs. 66, 67 ; PI. 5, fig. 71. Spire shorter, the upper part of the whorls nodulous and somewhat angular. This variety is very characteristic of specimens from the West Coast of North America, but it also occurs in the West Indies CASSIS. 27f> and Europe.
