Weinkauff, orange red with 2 white bands, others are more or less mottled ; it seems rather 

 difficult to separate in every case such specimens from the former species, especially if they 

 are young, the spire of O. lepida however seems always to be more acuminate. I think fig. 8 

 of Rumph (1. c.) represents this species; one of the specimens from Stat. 24S, which is white, 

 could have served as the type for this figure, which is however reversed, like many of Rumph's 

 figures, the description of the "kleine glimmertjes" seems to cover more than one species. 



19. Oliva ceramensis Schepman. PI. XVIII, fig. 3; PI. XXII, fig. 3. 



Schepman. Tijdschr. Ned. Dierk. Vereen. (2) Vol. VIII, p. 68. 

 Stat. 174. Waru-bay, North coast of Ceram. 18 M. Mud. 5 Spec. 



Shell small, cylindrically-ovate, slightly swollen near the upper part, smooth, glossy, with 

 concentric grey and yellow zones, marked by a purple brown network, with darker triangular 

 spots. Spire very short, apex dark brown, spire quite or nearly concealed by a callous deposit. 

 Number of whorls unknown on account of the callosity. Sutural channel wide but not deep. 

 Aperture oblong, nearly straight above and near the micldle, curved and widened below, 

 channelled in the upper angle. Interior dark purple-brown ; outer margin very thick, slightly 

 curved at the extremities; basal sinus rather narrow and deep; columellar margin straight above, 

 strongly curved below, with about 18 folds, upper ones coarse and short, foliowed by 3 folds, 

 which are much stronger and prominent, those near the sinus are again very small.

By its shape and size this species is allied to the preceding one, but its colour is quite 

 different from any variety of O. carncola.

Stat. 296. Noimini-bay, South coast of Timor. 8 — 36 M. Sandy mud. 1 Spec. 



This species has been united by Tryon to acuminata Lam., the only specimen better 

 agrees with the quoted figures of O. subulata in Martini-Chemn. Conch. Cab. Ed. I, than with 

 those of acuminata.
