Hab. New Guinea. Cab. Belcher. 



As the only specimen obtained was without the animal, deprived 

 of colour, and had evidently been some time lying in the mud, the 

 cancellation is perhaps considerably more distinct than in the recent 

 state. It is one of those which approach very closely to the unarmed 

 species of Delpkinula.

Hab. Indian Seas. Cab. Cuming and Hinds. 



In general appearance it very closely resembles S. perspectivum, 

 with which it has no doubt been long associated. In comparing the 

 adult shells of both species, this will be found somewhat smaller, 

 thinner, and more depressed ; the whorls are somewhat more tumid, 

 those of the spire obliquely longitudinally folded, but the last and 

 penultimate are smooth, or very nearly so ; above they are divided by 

 a single groove, between which and the suture is a continuous dark 

 band, beneath a series of square approximating spots, which towards 

 the spire usually become continuous ; the base is also somewhat 

 tumid ; the umbilicus is large, expanded, and perspective, and sur- 

 rounded by chestnut-brown angular crenations ; and the aperture is 

 rhomboidal. It is no doubt an Indian species, but the locality is 

 not known.
