 A very variable little shell, of which T. Savignii, Pa^'r. (fig. 

 644), may be considered the typical ribbed form, and T. picta, 

 Sandri, T. granum, Forbes (fig. 645), and T. littoraliH, Forbes 

 (fig. 646), smooth varieties. To these must be added a costate 

 variety recently described by Issel, as var. pallida (fig. 651). 

 M. Lotoei, Dohrn,an unfigured species, from the Canary Islands, 

 is probably a synonym.
