Mr. Sowerby's description of this species in the Ap- 

 pendix to the Tankerville Catalogue was overlooked by 

 Mr. Adams and myself, when occupied with the MoUusca 

 of the Voyage of the Samarang.

 Ilab. Island of Ticao, Philippines (on the reefs) ; Cuming. 

 In the absence of a dentatiid lip, the compressed dorsal 

 tubercles may probably have suggested the name by 

 which Linna'us distinguished this species.

This well-known species varies little except in the pro- 

 longation of its characteristic lobe. It exhibits scarcely 

 anv change of colour.
