Hab. Bay of Panama (in live fathoms, among mud) ; 

 Belcher. 



The young state of this shell is of the same wart-grained 

 type as <S'. granulatum. and verriicosum, from the same loca- 

 lity (Panama, Mexico, and the West Indies), but it grows 

 to a much larger size, in which the grains gradually become 

 obsolete. 



Species 19. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Solarium cixgulum. Sol. testa conoided, alba, fascia 

 lata fidm-nifescente cbigidatd, colore Idc illic in lineis

The girdle Solarium. Shell conoid, white, encircled 

 bv a broad band of fnlvous-red, whicli descends here 



and there in oblique lines, whorls flatly sloping,

Philippia cingvlum. Gray.

The girdle of fnlvous-red, with which this species is en- 

 circled falls, in a very characteristic manner, into festoons 

 of oblique lines upon a shining ivory-white ground. 



Species 20. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Solarium Reevei. Sol. testa conoided, litido-carned, 

 pmictis subquadratis aurantio-fuscis profuse aspersd,

 fusely sprinkled with somewhat square orange-lM'own

HANLEV,"Pro. Zool. Soc. 1862, p. 204. 



Hab. Sydney. 



This, I suspect, is merely an Australian dwarf variety of 

 S. hrvigalain, inhabiting the mouth of the Indus. 



Species 21. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Solarium hybridum. Sol. testa conoided, ad basin ta- 

 midd, albidd, rufescente-aurantio profuse reliculato-

 Trochus perspectivimwulits, Meusehen. 

 FIdlippia hybrida and Laijardi, Adams. 



Hab. Indian and Australian Seas. 



Compared with its nearest ally, S. cingidmn, this common 

 and widely-distributed species is of more swollen propor- 

 tions, quite convex at the base, more copiously coloured.
