Concli., after coiiiparison with the i\[*v. of that, siu'cics^ 7\ 

 duplicating, So\vorl»y ( lig. 2!>T), does not olfLT any distinctive 

 charat'ters. 



T. Yatesii, Crosse. I'l. 30, tio-. •2<I4. lieiigth, -4 inch. 



South Auxtndia. 

 T. MoNTFORTii, A. Adams. Fl. 30, fig. 295. 



Rose color; the last tu))e mnch prolonged. Length, -b inch. 



Japan. 

 Very closel3' allied to T. Yatesii. 



T. NiTENS. Hinds. PI. 30, fig. 299. 



Distingnished by its qnadrangnlar form. Length, -,5 inch. 



Straits of Macassar. 

 T. Belcheri, Brod. PL 30, tigs. 300, 30L 



This may be regarded as the Atlantic analogue of the Mediter- 

 ranean T. tetrapteru.t<. It is a someAvhat larger shell, with the 

 variceal spines mnch incurved and a rather longer canal. 



W. Coast of Africa, Brazil. 



The latter locality is for Marex Gleryi, Petit (fig. 301), which, 

 notwithstanding his attempt to distinguish it, I cannot consider 

 essentially different. 



T. QUADRATUs, Hinds. PI. 30, fig. 29(;. 



Chestnut-brown, the varices white; hooks and tuftes short; 

 canal rather short, bent, wide above. Length, -7 inch. 



W. Coast of Central America. 



T. Cleryi, Sowerby. PI. 30, fig. 302. 



This Australian shell is figured by Sowerby in tiie Thesaurus 

 and also in Conchologia Iconica as T. Cleryi., Petit — which is an 

 error, as that species comes from South America and -= T. 

 Belcheri., Brod. The name being thus freed, I adopt it as of 

 Sowerby, not Petit. It is distinguished from all the other 

 species by its elegantly spinous varices. 



New Zealand ; off Sydney Head, Austrlia. 



T. CuMiNGii, Brod. PI. 30, fig. 298. 



The very long, slender, straight canal sufficiently distinguishes 



this species from all its congeners. Pale fulvous, with bands of 



darker color crossing the varices. Length, 1 inch. 



Bay of Caraecas, Venezuela.
