 opake white ribs and ridges upon a light brown ground, 

 with the siphon very distinctly indicated in the interior.

 ribs strong, rude, subcorrugate, three next the siphon 

 distant ; dull purple-brown. 



Hab. New Zealand. 



A rather depressly convex species, rayed with subcoiTU- 



gate rude ribs, three of which on the side of the siphon are 



widely separated.

 Hab. Philippine Islands. 



This species, of which fine specimens, such as those 

 figured, were collected in abundant variety by Mr. Cuming 

 at the Philippine Islands, differs materially in the character 

 of its sculpture, the ribs being sometimes numerous and 

 close-set, as in Mr. Sowerby's typical specimen, sometimes 

 distant, with small intervening ridges, as in S. exigua of 

 the same author.
