Species 102. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Terebra tristis. Ter. testa conico-turritd, flavescente- 

 albd, livido-purpurascente late bifasciatd, anfractibus 

 converts, indivisis, concentrice plicato-costatis, costis in 

 auj'ractu ultimo evanidis ; aperturd vvatd, columella 

 contorto-recurvd. 



The sad Terebra. Shell conically turreted, yellowish- 

 white, encircled with two broad livid-purple bauds, 

 whorls convex, undivided, concentrically plicately 

 ribbed, ribs fading on the last whorl ; aperture ovate, 

 columella twistedly recurved. 



Deshayes, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1859, p. 306. 



Hah. Japan. 



The lower of the two broad purple bands of this species 

 is covered in all but the last whorl. 



Species 103. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Terebra longiscata. Ter. testa aciculari subulatd, 

 livide fusco-grised, anfractibus declivi-convexis, sirfco 

 superne divisis, oblique valide plicato-costatis, costis 

 mbangulatis, interstitiis elevato-striatis ; aperturd 

 ovatd, columella ad basin productd et recurod. 



The lengthened Terebra. Shell acicularly subulate, 

 livid fuscous-grey, whorls slopingly convex, divided 

 at the upper part by a groove, oblicmely strongly 

 plicately ribbed, ribs rather angular, interstices ele- 

 vately striated; aperture ovate, columella produced 

 and recurved at the base.

Hab. Philippine Islands ; Cuming. 



This species, described from a single small specimen 

 collected by Mr. Cuming at the Philippine Islands, ap- 

 proaches very nearly to the larger shell, PI. XXII. Sp. 

 116, which I have named T. livida. There is, however, 

 a difference of form as well as of outline, the ribs are closer, 

 and the strhe in the iutcrstices are not excavated, as in that 

 species, but raised. 



Species 104. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Terebra roseata. Ter. testa obeso-acicnlari, subcylin- 

 draced, eximie rosed, anfractibus convexis, sulco pertuso 

 superne divisis, undiijue dense plicato-costatis, inter- 



stitiis lineari-sulcatis ; aperturd pared, subobliqw 

 tractd, columella laminatd carinatd, contorto-recurvd 



The roseate Terebra. Shell stoutly acicular, some- 

 what cylindrical, delicate rose-colour, whorls convex, 

 divided at the upper part by a pricked groove, 

 closely plicately ribbed throughout, interstices linearly 

 grooved, aperture small, somewhat obliquely con- 

 tracted, columella laminated, keeled, twistedly re- 

 curved.

Hab. Sooloo Islands ; Belcher. 



Elaborately sculptured and uniformly tinted throughout 



with a pure soft rose-colour. 



Species 105. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Terebra nodularis. Ter. testd acuminato-lurri/d. fla- 

 vescente-albd, anfractibus plano-convexis, longit-udina- 

 liter undato-plicatis, sulco pro/undo lineari superne 

 divisis, supra et infra sulcum tumidis, delude transver- 

 sim impresso-slriatis ; aperturd pared, columella co/i- 

 strictd et contorto-recurvd. 



The nodular Terebra. Shell acnminately turreted 

 yellowish-white, whorls flatly convex, longitudinally 

 wave-plicated, divided round the upper part by a 

 deep linear groove, swollen above and below the 

 groove, then transversely impressly striated ; aperture 

 small, columella constricted and twistedly recurved. 



Deshayes, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1859, p. 296. 



Hab. Sandwich Islands ; Pease. 



Though nearly resembling several other species of Tere- 

 bra, an examination of the foregoing description will show 

 that the sculpture of T. nodularis varies materially in de- 

 tail. 



Species 106. (Mus. Deshayes I 



Terebra eximia. Ter. t-estd elongato-turritd, subpyra- 

 midali, Candida, ad marginem aurantio-rufo punctata, 

 anfractibus numerosis, angustis, plants, supra latimar- 

 giuatis, niargiue tumidiusculo, oblique crenulalo, infra 

 nilide /riser iat im granuloso-liratis, interstitiis periusit 

 columella cariuatd, contorto-recurvd. 



The delicate Terebra. Shell elongately tun 



somewhat pyramidal, white, dotted at the margin
