TETH YS—AUSTRALASIAN. 97 
Mantle dirty white, with slight gray clouds, its free right margin 
(inflexed and not shown in figure) olive with bold confluent maculze 
ofblack. Inner surface of swimming lobes olivaceous, boldly marked 
with confluent black macule, the lighter tint prevailing toward edges 
of the lobes. Sole uniform olivaceous. 
Shell moderately convex, ovate, yellow outside, becoming brown- 
ish toward the margins, the epidermal layer projecting well beyond 
the moderately solid, white, calcareous layer. Beak well incurved, 
enveloped by a very ample callous, reflexed “ hood” which is not 
adnate dorsally but leaves a large, deep, triangular cavity (fig. 24). 
Sinus rather short and moderately concave, its inflexed cuticular mar- 
gin conspicuous and nodular above. Surface with inconspicuous 
growth striz and many shallow radial grooves. Length 54, breadth 
45 mill.

This form, which I name in honor of the founder of the Manual, 
is alhed to T. keraudreniti in size, coloration and ample proportions 
of the swimming lobes. It differs from that in the star-like pore of 
the mantle, in place of a conspicuous tube, and in the greater devel- 
opment of the reflexed callus at the shell’s apex. The posterior 
sinus of the shell, too, is shorter ; and the excurrent siphon of mantle 
is rather less developed, although of the same essential structure. T. 
pulmonica Gld. is also a species of similar characters, but it appar- 
ently has a more extensive posterior union of the swimming lobes, 
producing the sack-like structure described by Gould, and it lacks 
black maculation.

T. BRUNNEA Hutton. PI. 59, fig. 44. 
Animal of a uniform rich dark brown, about 4 inches in length. 
Shell horny, ear-shaped, firm, the whole shell very finely concen- 
trically striated; epidermis pale brown. Length ‘9, breadth -7 
inch. The shell somewhat resembles A. excavata Sow., from Port 
Jackson, but it is not square at the end. (Hutton.)
