Shell solitary, rose-coloured, with obvious joints, and the upper 

 surface marked somewhat like a Cornu Ammonis ; the length 

 is three inches, and the diameter at the aperture about five 

 lines, and forms a flat coil about an incii and a half in dia- 

 meter. Rumphius, t. 41. f. L, and Martini, t. 1. f. 10, 

 which are quoted by Gmelin for a Variety, are described to 

 be ' claboniformis,' and are more allied to S. Ocrea than the 

 present species, which tiiey are not in the least like. S. are- 

 naria of the Mus. Lud. Ulrica is Teredo giganfea.

Shell about two inches long, and two lines in diameter, soli- 

 tary, yellowish or dark brown, and generally smooth, but 

 sometimes marked with five or six longitudinal striae ; the 

 volutions are sometimes flat, and turned regularly like those 

 of a Nautilus, but they are frequently a little raised irregu- 

 larly one above the other.

Inhabits the East Indies. Favanne. 



Most other authors have followed Linnaeus in referring to 

 Rumphius, t. 41. f. H, for S. anguina, but Favanne says it 

 is a distinct species, and has thus described it: "Shell either 

 solitary or in groups, somewhat quadrilateral, and coiled into 

 an irregular spire of rather distant whirls ; it is moderately 

 thick, and cancellated with fine stride, and has not any longi- 

 tudinal cleft ; the diameter of the tube is nearly four hncs, 

 and the length, measured along the course of the whirls, is
