Family PURPURID^l. 



TEREBRA. Although 11 species of this genus were 

 collected, the number of specimens is small, and they are 

 more or less imperfect. Probably they all, like most of their 

 congeners, and as is well known of several of these species, 

 live only below low water mark. 5 of the species may be 

 new ; but as our specimens are not perfect and not sufficiently 

 numerous for distribution, we shall leave them undescribed.
