 Hah. — Insl. Paumotu. 



Shell oblong, cylindrical, last whorl slightly ventricose, 

 spirally striate ; whorls on their upper half nodosely ribbed 

 longtitudinally, ribs becoming obsolete on last whorl ; aperture 

 rather large ; canal oblique and recurved ; outer lip somewhat 

 expanded, fluted; white, apex yellowish. 



Remai'ks. — The above is intermediate between Q. columna,

 ribs not passing over the whole length of the whorls, and gene- 

 rally absent altogether on the last whorl, except immediately at 

 the suture.

T. ventricoso-ovata, crassiuscula, alba, transversim granoso- 

 lirata, interstitiis tenuissime striatis ; spira parva, vix exserta ;

Alt. 9. Diam. SJ mill. 



Hab. Insl. Jarvis. 



Shell ventricosely ovate, rather thick, white, transversely 

 granosely ridged, interstices very finely striate ; spire small, 

 slightly exserted; aperture dilated, ovately rounded; umbilicus 

 open, canal longitudinally grooved and striate, at the angle on 

 its edge smooth or slightly ragged. 



Remarks. — The above was classed by the late Mr. Cuming as 

 a var. of N. acuta. Reel. It agrees with that species, however, 

 only in shape. It is thicker, generally smaller, and granose.
