Colubrarian genera, as its apex is truncated. I could not however associate it with any of the 

 knovvn species. Mr. Smith vvho had the kindness to compare it, thinks it may be a Tritonidea. 

 I follow his advice, but at the same time abstain myself from naming and describing it, as it 

 is a small shell, with thin, broken peristome, without prominent characters.

Stat. 66. Bank bet ween islands of Bahuluwang and Tambolungan, South of Saleyer. 8 — 10 M. 



Dead coral, Halimeda, Lithothamnion. 1 Spec. 

 Stat. 204. Between islands of Wowoni and Buton. 75 — 94 M. Sand with dead shells. 1 Spec. 



Unfortunately the specimens are young and not in very good condition. Tryon thinks 

 it is a synonym of T. obscurus. Adams has in 1854 (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1854, p. 312) 

 described a Triton under the same name, which should have priority, this has not been figured. 

 As the soft parts are wanting in this and the next species, I have not been able to determine 

 the position of the typical species of Colubraria, after the elimination of Caducifer and Maculo- 

 triton\ I have made several eftbrts to get a specimen of the typical section containing the 

 "animal", but till now in vain.

Stat. 104. Sulu-harbour, Sulu-island. 14 M. Sand. 1 Spec. 

 Too young for identification.

Stat. 66. Bank between islands of Bahuluwang and Tambolungan, South of Saleyer. 8 — 10 M. 

 Dead coral, Halimeda, Lithothamnion. 1 Spec. 



As the soft parts are wanting, I have located this species in the genus Colubraria.
