The specimens of the majority of the localities have the animal brown ; in those from 

 Stat. 131 and 250 they are tinged in many parts with green, especially the specimen from 

 Stat. 250 is very beautiful, the upper part of the foot, the muzzle, the tentacles, many of the 

 epipodial fringes and the border of the mantle are green, the under surface of the foot and 

 part of the epipodial fringes remain brown. 



The shells are very variable in colour, markings, sculpture and even in shape, some 

 specimens being more elongated and the spire is more or less flattened, even in specimens 

 from the same locality.

Stat. 115. Kwandang-bay, East-side of Pajunga-island. Reef. 1 Spec. 

 Stat. 255. Er-island, Kei-islands. 22 M. Coral. 1 Spec. 



Both specimens are very young, the largest one being only 15 Mill. in length, the 

 fullgrown ones reach, according to Pilsbry 42 Mill. in length, Weinkauff says even 45 Mill. 

 Though the radiating folds in the specimen from Stat. 1 1 5 are more conspicuous than in the 

 australian specimens I could compare, I cannot separate them, especially as the other specimen 

 of scarcely 9 Mill. agrees very well with the upper whorls of the adult shells. 



Hedley in his paper on : the effect of the Bassian isthmus upon the existing marine Fauna 

 (Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, 1903, p. S76), has mentioned this species as characteristic 

 for his Peronian Fauna. As this paper has been written with the view to show the difference 

 between the species of the eastern and western part of South Australia, rather than to tracé 

 the northern limits, it seems not to be excluded that this species should live in New Guinea, 

 the Kei-islands etc.

Stat. 133. Lirung, Salibabu-island. Reef. 1 Spec. 



Of this beautitul species, one specimen of a deep coral-red, with scarce whitish spots, has 

 been collected; according to Weinkauff it lives also in the Moluccos.
