Testa obeso-vel rarius subcylindraceo-subulata, acuminata, 

 laevigata, polita, albida vel pallide fulva ; anfractibus planulatis, 

 integris, plicis longitudinalibus acutis, interstitiis Isevigatis, 

 superne maculis rufis cinctis ; aiifractu ultimo subcylin- 

 draceo, pallide fasciato ; apertura elongata ; columella nuda . 



Of a pale orange colour, the whorls entire, longitudinally 

 plicate, and highly polished. The folds are distant, rather 

 oblique, sharp, and of a whiter colour. Beneath the suture 

 is a series of red spots, one being situated in nearly every 

 alternate interstice. It differs from T. strigilata, in that the 

 spots of that species are painted on a white band, and 

 again that the folds are broad and rounded and touch each 

 other. Guinea; on the sands : Humphreys. 



93. T. ALBULA. (pi. xlv. f. 126.J Menke, Moll. Nov. 

 Holland, p. 30. 



Testa subobeso-subulata, acuminata, turrita, laevigata, polita. 

 alba; anfractibus planulatis, integris, superne crenato- 

 plicatis, medio et inferne leevibus, ultimo elongato ; apertura 

 attenuata, effusa ; columella recta, nuda, truncata ; canali 

 nullo. 



As I am guided alone by description, there may be some 

 doubt whether I have referred the right shell to it ; however, 

 it entirely agrees in this respect, and its characters are few 

 and negative. The folds occupy about a third, or something 

 less, of the breadth of the whorl.

94. T. OBESA. (pi. xlv. f. 106.) Hinds, 1. c. p. 158. 



Testa obeso-subulata, Irevigata, albida, maculis fuscis longi- 

 tudinalibus pallide ornata ; anfractibus panels subrotundatis, 

 integris, ultimo biseriatim maculato ; spira obsolete plicata ; 

 apertura oblonga ; columella truncata. 



Polished and white, with a single series of pale spots ; 

 whorls entire, the inferior obese and smooth, the superior 

 longitudinally plicate. Aperture oblong ; columella slightly 

 callous, truncate. No canal. I am only conversant with a 

 single specimen, in the collection of Mr. Cuming, of this 

 small but very distinct species. 



Native country unknown.
