M. ZEPHYRiNA, Duclos. PI. 38, figs. 129, 130. 



Cjlindrical oliviform, with distant, sliglitly impressed revolv- 



inar lines ; chestnut-brown, sometimes flecked with white in two 



spiral series. Length, -75-1 inch. 



Maurititis. 



The variety without spots has been called M. Nemlli by Mr. 



Hanley (fig. 130). 



M. EBURNEA, Philippi. Unfigured. Marquesas Islands. 



Not included in the monographies, and unknown to me. 



Section Scabricola, Swainson. 

 Mitre-shaped or pyramidal ; granulated or scabrous. 

 M. TESSELLATA, Martyn. PI. 38, figs. 139, 136. 



Pale yellow, with chestnut-brown longitudinal flames. 



Length, 2"5-3'5 inches. 



Polynesia ; Zanzibar ? 



The longitudinal plications sometimes become obsolete, on 



which state M. terehralis^ Lam. (fig. 136), is founded. It is 



doubtful whether the latter form comes from Zanzibar ; at any 



rate, I have before me examples of it from the Paumotus Islands. 



Garrett says that the animal is cream-yellow ; the small triangular 



foot is reddish brown above, and the siphon is varied with a 



lighter shade of the same color. Philippi contends that 



Lamarck's species terebralis is different from the figure bearing 



that name in Reeve, and so calls the latter M. Beevei ; but 



Deshaj'es, in Lamarck, refers to Kiener's figure, which is the 



same as that of Reeve and Sowerby. 



M. IMPRESSA, Anton. PI. 38, fig. 132. 



Yellowish or orange-brown ; sometimes slightly shouldered. 



Length, 1-1*25 inches. 



Japan. 



So closely is this related to the M. granulosa^ that, were it not 



for the difference in locality, I would be disposed to consider it 



a variety. 



M. viTELLiNA, Gould. PI. 38, fig. 134. 



Pale orange, with an imperfect white vitta adjacent to the 

 posterior revolving striae, a second at the anterior third of the
