MARINE SHELLS OF SOUTH AFRICA.. 



TRITON CUTACEUS, var. Doliariu,s= Triton doliarius (La- 

 marck), Reeve, Conch. Icon. fig. 56. See note, Journ. of 

 Conch, vol. vi. p. 150. Port Elizabeth, &c. (common). 



TRITON KLENEI, Sowerby, pi. 4, fig. 87 ; Journ. of Conch, 

 vol. vi. p. 150. Port Elizabeth. 



TRITON NODIFER, Lamarck, Reeve, Conch. Icon. sp. 9. 

 Krauss (Sudafr. Mol. p. 114) quotes this shell as F. Saulice 

 (Reeve, sp. 17). I have very similar specimens from Japan, 

 and cannot find any reliable character by which to distin- 

 guish them from the Mediterranean species. 



TRITON AUSTRALIS (?), Lamarck, Reeve, Conch. Icon, 

 sp. 12. Krauss (Sudafr. Moll. p. 114) quotes this species 

 from the Cape, but it may be that he has mistaken a form 

 of T. nodifer for it. 



TRITON LABIOSUS, Wood, Reeve, Conch. Icon. sp. 52 a.- 

 Natal. A species of very wide distribution : Japan, Philip- 

 pines, Australia, Mauritius, &c. 



TRITON OLEARIUS, Deshayes, Reeve, Conch. Icon. sp. 32 

 = 7'. succinctus (Larnk.). This species is quite common on 

 the South African coast, and appear? to be of almost world-wide 

 distribution. I have had it from Japan, Australia., Red Sea, 

 Mediterranean, West Indies, and Brazil. 



TRITON EXARATUS, Reeve, Conch. Icon. fig. 50 a. A rather 

 young specimen from Port Elizabeth, not so angular as the 

 Australian type. The shell somewhat resembles T. cutaceus, 

 but has a longer rostrum.

TRITON RUBECULA, Lamarck, Reeve, Conch. Icon. fig. 29u. 

 Natal (Crawford). Common on the Mauritian coast. 



TRITON TILEARIS, Lamarck, Reeve, Conch. Icon. sp. 23. 

 Natal coast (Krauss). 



TRITON AQUATILIS, Reeve, Conch. Icon. sp. 24. Krauss 

 quotes this as a variety of T. pilearis. 



TRITON ^EGROTUS, Reeve, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1843; Conch. 

 Icon. sp. 42. Natal. This species is not uncommon on the 

 Mauritian coast. Reeve quotes ' China ' as the habitat. 



TRITON FICTILIS, Hinds, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1844; Zool.Voy. 

 Sulphur, Moll. p. 12, pi. 4, figs. 11, 12. Agulhas Bank, 

 50 to 60 fath. (Hinds).
