It is suggested beneath the tablet of one, perhaps type, but not 

 so marked, labelled, "T. ccelata Ad. & Reeve, China, Voy. Sama- 

 rang, M.C. — compare with fenestrata — ." On making the compari- 

 son with three marked as types of T. fenestrata, I considered the 

 names synonymous. As T. coelata, Brazier has recorded the species 

 from 20 fms., Darnley Is., Torres Straits. 



Terebra turrita Smith.

The type of T. turrita figured in the Challenger Expedition Re- 

 port, illustrative of a species found in Torres Straits, is so distin- 

 guished at the British Museum. This has the aperture broken back 

 for a quarter of a whorl, hence the figure of the mutilated speci- 

 men is a misleading representation of the species. In the same col- 

 lection, T. text His Hinds is represented by three marked "type tex- 

 tilis Hinds, P.Z.S., 1843, p. 156, 6 fath., Manila Bay, M.C." Be- 

 tween these and turrita, I see scarcely enough difference for specific 

 separation. Indeed, T. textilis and T. fenestrata Hinds are not 

 far apart, the latter being proportionately broader, and having 

 coarser sculpture. Comparing T. turrita and T. exigua Deshayes, 

 I notice that, between the subsutural nodules, exigua is spirally 

 striated and turrita smooth.
