 Stat. 2S2. Between Nusa Besi and N.E -point of Timor. 27 — 54 M. Sand, coral and Litho- 

 thamnion. 1 Spec. 



I can agree with the opinion of Tapp. Canefri, that Kobelt's figures are quite different 

 from Reeve's T. ustulata, so I keep them separate.

 Stat. 240. Banda. 9 — 45 M. Black sand, coral. 1 Spec. 



The specimen from Stat. 123 is rather young and a little doubtful, though it perfectly 

 agrees with the upper whorls of those from Stat. 174 and 240, which are not quite adult but 

 most characteristic.

I have foliowed the synonymy of Melvill in his valuable : "Historical account of the 

 genus Latirus", p. 25 and 44. The specimen is very young.

I owe the identification of this difHcult species to Mr. Melvill, one of its authors. The 

 Siboga-specimens seem to be a little more slender, than the quoted figure ; a specimen of the 

 normal length (13 Mill.) has only a breadth of 8 instead of 9 Mill. Mr. Melvill writes that 

 though originally only known from Maskat, gulf of Oman, it has lately turned up in 2 or 3 

 places in the eastern tropics. So its occurence at the above Stations is not at all strange.
