Lister, fyc. West Indies. Solander. 

 Shell about three-quarters of an inch long, and eleven lines 

 broad ; strong, convex, ventricose, slightly angulated, and 

 compressed at the anterior end ; the colour varies through 

 different shades of red, yellow, and white, more or less 

 strongly marked with darker concentric bands ; the hinge is 

 nearly central, and has two small primary teeth in each 

 valve, without any lateral ones. On the score of priority 

 this species would be entitled to retain the name of T. rubra, 

 but it is not at all generally applicable to the shell.

 Shell about half an inch long, and five-eighths broad, roundish, 

 sub-triangular and faintly striated transversely ; the colour is 

 generally white, or sometimes reddish or pale purple, marked 

 with darker longitudinal rays, and almost always with two 

 oblong red spots, extending more than half way down the 

 inside, but these sometimes are wanting, which appears to 

 have induced Dr. Solander to change the name ; it is how-
