TiiOPiroN. 149 



T. AusTRALis, Woods. 



Ovate, acuminate at each end, sordidly greenish ; whorls six, 

 convex, angular above ; obsoletely ribbed lengthwise, and finely 

 transversely lirate ; ribs on last whorl ten, vanisiiing anteriorly ; 

 spire acute ; aperture ovate, outer lip thin ; columella flattened; 

 canal somewhat long and slightly recurved.

Tasmania. 

 Not figured. 



This and the preceding species may be young specimens of 

 Urosalpinx. 



T. FiMBRiATUS, Hinds. PI. 33, fig. 355. 



Light brown, sometimes obscurely banded, aperture white, 

 sulcate within ; shell rather solid. Length, L5 inch. 



Straits of Macassar ; 11 fathoms in sand and gravel; Forvioso. 



Generic relationships doubtful. Reeve changed the name 

 to laculentuSj in" his monograph of Mur'ew, because Lamarck 

 [las described a Murea: finihriatuH : as a IVophon^ however, 

 Hinds' name will stand, and consequently that of Reeve becomes 

 a synonym to it. Mui-e.r lamelJiferiis, Dkr., from Formosa, 

 appears to be the same species. 



T. SQUAMEUS, Dunker. 



Ovate-fusiform, acute ; whorls eight, convex, angulate, and 

 flat-shouldered above the angle, the last whorl two-thirds of the 

 total length ; longitudinally plicate, crossed b}' imbricately 

 scjuamous revolving riblets ; lip crenulate, sulcate within ; canal 

 open, sub-umbilicate. Yellowish white, with interrupted chestnut 

 bands. Length, 1 inch. 



Manilla. 



An unfigured species said by its author to resemble T. fim- 

 briafus. 



T. CARDUUS, Brod. PI. 33, fig. 358. 



Very like T. fimhriatus, but differs somewhat in the ornamenta- 

 tion of the spire. Dredged by Mr. Cuming from a coral reef, 

 twelve miles from shore, at a depth of 25 fathoms, at Pacosmayo 

 I'ern.
