The whorls of this species are not divided round the 

 upper part by any groove or change of sculpture, but by 

 a difference of colour.

Terebra picta. Ter. testa elonyato-turritd, subcylin- 

 draced, flavescente, carideo fasclatd, purpureo-fusco

 subpyramidali, albo et rufo-aurantio tessellate macu-

Terebra areolala, Adams and Reeve. 

 Hab. Tahiti ; Cumiug. 



Very closely allied to T. undulata, and greatly resem- 

 bling that species in colour; it is of a more slenderly 

 elongated form, the last whorl being thinly ventricose, and 

 the sculpture is finer and closer.

 strictd, carinatd, contorto-recurvd. 



The windowed Terebra. Shell acuminately turreted, 

 transparent-fulvous or fulvous-brown, whorls con- 

 cavely flattened, divided round the upper part by a

 keeled, twistedly recurved.
