Species 7. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Solarium granulatum. Sol. tesid conoided, Uitescente- 

 cariied, livido-j'ntym-eo iinctd, tnacidis jmnctisque cns- 

 laneo-rufis dhlantibm sparsim ciugulatd, anfractibus 

 spiralUer sulcatis et granoso-verriicutis, bad muUicre- 

 natd, uiiibdico parvliiscido. 



The granulated Solarium. Shell conoid, yellowish 

 flesh-colour, stained with livid-purple, sparingly belted 

 with distant chestnut-red spots and dots, whorls spi- 

 rally grooved and granosely warted, base many-cre- 

 nated, umbilicus rather small.

Ilafj. ilexieo. 



It is much to be doubted whether this and the follow- 

 ing are not varieties of one and the same species. The 

 characters noted as distinctive characters are of very ques- 

 tionalilc importance. 



Species 8. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Solarium verrucosum. Sot. testa depresse conokim, 

 lutescente-t acted, snbopacd, macittis parcis punclisqne 

 castaneo-riifis distantibus sparsim. ciugulatd, aiifrac- 

 tibiis spiraliter excavato-sulcatis, versus apicem gra- 

 uoso-verrucatis, verriicis interdum duplicibus, basi mul- 

 ticrenatd. 



The warty Solarium. Shell depressly conoid, yellow- 

 ish cream-colour, rather opake, sparingly belted with 

 distant small chestnut-red spots and dots, whorls spi- 

 rally excavately grooved, granosely warted towards the 

 apex, warts sometimes duplex, base many-crenated.

Hab. West Indies. 



Compared with S. granulatum, the specimens assigned 

 to which are conoid, more or less stained with livid purple, 

 .S'. oerrucosuin is rather depressed and of an opake yellowish 

 cream-colour. 



Species 9. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Solarium l,evigatum. Sol. testa conoided, cinereo- 

 albd, rosaceo-purpurascente tiiictd, maculis punctisque 



aurantio-fuscis aspersd, aiifraclihus undique spiraliter 

 lineari-salcatis, leevibns, ad periplieriam bicinctis, versus 

 apicem oblique crenulatis, basi pallide aurantio-fusco 

 aspersd. 



The smooth Solarium. Shell conoid, ash-white, stained 

 with pinkish-purple, sprinkled with orange-brown 

 spots and dots, whorls spirally linearly grooved 

 throughout, smooth, two-belted at the periphery, ob- 

 liquely crenidated towards the apex, base sprinkled 

 with pale orange-brown. 



Lamarck, Anim. sans vert. vol. ix. p. 98. 



Hab. Kurrachee, mouth of the Indus. 



Keadily distinguished by its comparatively smooth, li- 

 nearly-grooved suriace, and peculiar pinkish-purple colour- 

 ins. 



Species 10. (Mus.^ Cuming.) 



Solarium trochleare. Sol. testd couwxo-couoided, 

 Uiteo-spadiced, anfructibus leevibus, versus apicem ob- 

 lique crenulatis, superne et iiiferne rnfo-caslaneo bi- 

 cinctis, itmbilico ample, margine fusco tincto. 



The pclley-like Solarium. Shell convexly conoid, 

 yellowish-fawn, whorls smooth, obliquely crenulated 

 towards the apex, two-belted above and below with 

 reddish-chestnut, umbilicus large, margin stained witii 

 bi'own. 



Hinds, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1844, p. 25. 



Uab. Philippine Islands. 



From S. maximum, which this species so closely re- 

 sembles in general aspect, S. trochleare may be distin- 

 guished by its smoother and more convex form, and double 

 belt of colour beneath the suture, with the absence of any 

 spiral linear gi'oove. 



Species 11. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 



Solarium perspectivum. Sol. testd conoided, nunc ele- 

 ratiusculd, nunc dcpresm, albidd, livido-plumbto jilus 

 minus tinctd, uigricante-caslaneo lute zonatd el arli- 

 culatd, anfractibus medio Irei-ibus, superne et inferne 

 spiraliter lineari-mlcalis, undique oblique suLremote 

 impresso-striatis, basi el margine nmbilici nigricantr- 

 fusco articulalis.
