OLIVA.— Plate XIX. 



Species 44. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Oliva Duclosi. Oliv. testa subconico-ovata, crassa, su- 

 pence tumidd, spird exsertd, plicis columellariius sub- 

 amplis; aurantio-luted, olivaceo-fusco dense reticulata, 

 areis reticulae subdistantibns, acute trigonis, colmnelld

Ddclos' Olive. Shell somewliat conically ovate, thick, 

 swollen round the upper part, spire esserted, colu- 

 mellar plaits rather large; orange-yellow, thickly

Oliva jaspidea,I)uchs, Men. Oliv. pi. 8. f. 9, 10. 



Hab. Banguey, Island of Luzon, Philippines (on the 

 sands at low water) ; and Society Islands (in coral 

 sand at low water) ; Cuming. 

 The net-work colouring of this species is so thickly de- 

 veloped as only to leave scattered sharply triangular spaces. 



Sometimes, however, it is much confused. 



Having to apply the term jaspidea to Lamarck's O.co- 



midalis, in consequence of it being so named by Gmelin 



under the head of Voluta, I have the pleasure to dedicate 

 this species to M. Duclos, in acknowledgment of the 

 value of his Oliva figures, of which it is much to be re- 

 gretted he never published any descriptions. 



Species 45. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Steere.) 

 Oliva lentiginosa. Oliv. testa oblongd, subcylindraced, 

 crassd, spird exsertd, plicis cohimellaribus subampUs,
