TE REBR A. 



Plate XXIV. 



Species 12 5. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Teeebea violascens. Ter. testa gracili-turritd, albidd 

 aut lutescente, ad marginem suturalem fusco tinctd, 

 anfractibus plano-coure.ris, indivisis, oblique Jlexuose 

 plicatis, liris spiralibus in interstitiis clalJiratis, su- 

 turd subprofundd; aperturd pared, columella ad basin 

 productd et recurvd. 



The violet Terebra. Shell slenderly turreted, whitish 

 or yellowish, stained with brown at the sutural mar- 

 gin, whorls flatly convex, undivided, obliquely flexu- 

 ously plicated, latticed in the iuterstices with spiral 

 ridges, suture rather deep ; aperture small, columella 

 produced and recurved at the base. 



Hinds, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1S43, p. 154. 



Hab. Philippine Islands (in sandy mud at twenty-five 

 fathoms) ; Cuming. 



The shell here described and figured is one of the Phi- 

 lippine specimens to which Mr. Hinds refers in the ' The- 

 saurus ' as being a different colour from his specimens, 

 and disposed to be banded. They have an extremely 

 delicate Sea /aria -like look, with the w 7 horls undivided, 

 and do not agree in this respect with Mr. Hinds' figure. 



Species 126. (Mus. Gray.) 



Terebra flava. Ter. testa conico-subulatd, flavescente- 

 albd, anfractibus plano-convexis, sulco pertuso superne 

 divisis, longitudinaliter plicato-liratis, interstitiis li- 

 neis spiralibus impressis deeussatis ; aperturd pared, 

 columella ad basin productd et paululum recurvd. 



The yellow Terebra. Shell conically subulate, yel- 

 lowish-white, whorls flatly convex, divided by a 

 punctured groove at the upper part, longitudinally 

 plicately ridged, interstices decussated by impressed 

 spiral lines ; aperture small, columella produced at 

 the base, and a little recurved. 



Gray, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1834, p. 60. 



Hab. ? 



A yellowish conoid shell, longitudinally ridged, with 

 the interstices closely linearly grooved. It is scarcely 

 mature, and not in very good condition. The species 

 must be regarded as doubtful. 



Species 127. (Pig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 



Terebra conspersa. Ter. testa acute subulatd, 



lescente-albd, ad marginem suturalem rufo sparsim 

 promiscue punctata, ad basin rufo-fasciatd, anfracti- 

 bus declim-conwxis, longitudinaliter plicato-costis, in- 

 terstitiis leviter pertusiA ; aperturd pared, coin 

 ad basin productd et conlorto-recurvd. 



The sprinkled Terebra. Shell sharply subulate, 

 bluish-white, sparingly promiscuously dotted on the 

 sutural margin with red, red-banded at the base, 

 whorls slopingly convex, longitudinally plicately 

 ribbed, interstices slightly pricked ; aperture small, 

 columella produced at the base, and twistedly re 

 curved. 



Hinds, Pro. Zool. Soc. p. 153. 



Hab. Catbalonga, Isle of Samar, Philippines (in sandy 

 mud at eight fathoms) ; Cuming. 



Well distinguished by a promiscuous sprinkling of red 

 dots about the sutural margin, and by a band of the same 

 colour, more diluted, at the base. The sutural groove 

 is represented by a row of enlarged punctures. 



Species 128. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Terebra elata. Ter. testa elongato-turritd, rufescente- 

 albd, ait basin conspicue rufo-fasciatd, anfractibus 

 plano-convexis, longitudinaliter plicato-costalis, spira- 

 liter lineari-sulcatis ,■ aperturd parvd, columella ad 

 basin subproduc/d et recurvd. 



The raised Terebra. Shell elongately turreted, red- 

 dish-white, conspicuously red-banded at the base, 

 whorls flatly convex, longitudinally plicately ridged, 

 spirally linearly grooved ; aperture small, columella 

 rather produced at the base, and recurved. 



Hinds, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1843, p. 156. 



Hab. Bay of Montijo, west coast of America (in coarse 

 sand at fifteen fathoms) ; Cuming. 



The basal band of this more slenderly elongated species 

 is of a deeper red, edged with milky-white, while there 

 are no red dots. 



Species 129. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 Terebra Salleana. Ter. testa aciculari, livido-viridi, 



purpureo-tiuctd, anfractu ultimo anguste albifasciatd, 



June, 1860.
