the colour is disposed in three rows of angular brown spots

T. Parva^ ventricosa, brevi, laevi, linea elevata spirali, ad 

 basin anfractuum ; anfractibus contiguis subangulatis ; vari- 

 cibus paucisj laminatis, extantil^us, angulatim late expansis : 

 colore albo. 



A small, short, somewhat ventricose shell, with few whorls, 

 and about eight laminar varices, which are spread into broad 

 angles. It is to be regretted, that only one specimen of this 

 very remarkable shell was brought by Mr. Hinds from 

 Amboyna.

Proc. 1844. 



T. parva, crasa, brevi, leevigata, imperforta ; anfractibus 

 contiguis, vix prominentibus, antice linea elevata cinctis ; vari- 

 cibus quinque, prominentibus, ad apicem continuis, antice 

 crassis, postice in angulum elevatura expansis ; apertura sub- 

 rotunda, labio externo, antice tenui ; colore, inter varices, 

 cceruleo. 



A small, short, thick species, with very prominent ribs, 

 which are elevated and expanded into a broad angle, at the 

 upper part of the whorls, and very thick at the lower ; they 

 are united with each other so as to form five oblique promi- 

 nent ridges along the spire. Brought by Mr. Cuming from 

 Hayti in Peru.

 Principalis, Chemnitz. 



T. elongata, imperforata, lineis elevatis spiraliter cincta, 

 linea una majori adinferiorem partem anfractuum, anfractibus 

 sub-numerosis, ventricosis, prope suturam elevatis ; sutura 

 profunda; varicibus rarissimis, lineis parvis elevatis numerosis ; 

 colore albo, pallidissime purpureo et fulvo tincto. 



The figure given in Chemnitz underthe name of ^^principalis'" 

 " Pallas," is evidently taken from an inferior specimen of this 

 magnificent shell ; but as it does not agree in any respect with 

 the original figure and description by Pallas, we cannot put 

 much faith in the assertion of Chemnitz as to its identity. 

 We have given a species under the name oi principalis, which 

 agrees much better with the original figure. The splendid 

 specimen which we have figured, is in the collection of E. C. L. 

 Griiner, Esq. of Bremen, who has lately received it from 

 China.
