JAPANESE MOLLUSKS, BUCCINID^. 29 



Lischke's figures represent the principal variations of this species, 

 of which Mr. Stearns procured a large number of specimens. 



Siphonalia cassidariseformis var. ornata A. Ad. Dkr., Index, p. 16; Lischke, J. 

 M. C, I, pi. 4, f. 3, 4, 5.

Kuro-Shima (A. Ad.). 

 Siphonalia cassidariaeformis var. fanerea Pils. PI. II, f. 7, 8. 



Satsuma (Stearns). 



Shell like the type except that the nodules are reduced to short 

 oblique waves somewhat as in Buccinum undatum, and the color 

 outside is uniform chocolate-brown. Interior strongly lirate, dark 

 brown with a pearly lustre. 



This seems distinct from any of A. Adams' species. 



Siphonalia fusoides Reeve. Conch. Icon., Buccinum, pi. 2, f. 9 ; Conchyl. Cab., p. 

 88, pi. 23, f. 6-7. 



Tokyo Bay (Lischke) ; Satanomosaki and Tsu-Shima (A. Ad.); 

 S.-E. coast Kii (Stearns). 



A species resembling S. cassidariceformis but slenderer, with less 

 prominent nodules.

The specimens vary much in color, some being decorated with 

 brown spiral lines, others streaked and maculated with chestnut. It 

 is allied to S. fusoides Rv., but the spire is much longer. The 

 canal is more recurved than in S. spadicea Rve., which is otherwise 

 quite similar.
