I think Reeve's figure differs considerably from that of Deshayes, which represents a 

 smaller shell, the Siboga-specimens are still smaller. Perhaps they belong to Deshayes' var. fi.

Both specimens are bleached, but perfectly agree in sculpture with typical ones.

 thamnion. I Spec. 



The Siboga-specimen is very light-coloured, nearly quite white, with 4 brown grooves 

 on last whorl, instead of the three, figured by the quoted monographers; as I possess a specimen 

 from the Andaman-isles, with even 6 grooves, of which 5 are brown, but which is otherwise typical, 

 I think it is unnecessary to apply a varietal name, unless one would call them 3 — 4 — b-sulcata 

 and so on. The specimen scarcely seems to be bleached; the fourth groove of the Siboga- 

 specimen is placed below the periphery, so that it is covered on the upper whorls. In the 

 Andaman-specimen the colourless groove is placed between the two brown grooves, corresponding 

 to those of the quoted figures, one lias the same position as in the Siboga-specimen and the 

 basal one in doublé, making 3 additional grooves.
