T. ephippium, Spengler. Puirippr! had already some idea of this when he established 
his T. Gruneri. Rerkve’s figure, Sp.111, of T. ephippium, Spglr., exactly corresponds 
with SpeNGLER’s original specimens and with T. Gruneri, therefore I fail to see the 
reason why Romer finds that HANLEy’s figure of ephippium is “himmelweit ver- 
schieden” from ReEEveE'sefigure; they are almost identical if the figures are placed 
in the same position.

All the specimens from the Gulf of Siam are entirely destitute of the granu- 
lated sculpture characteristic of galateea (Hanley); at first I determined them as 
belonging to a form near to T. candida; but on account of the confusion which 
has prevailed within, this group (and which V. Bertin has but partially dispersed) 
I asked Mr. Epc. Smiru to be kind enough to compare them for me, and he deter- 
mined them as M. candida, Lam., “in which the peculiar granose epidermis is ob- 
solete. T. arafurensis, Smith, is different in form.” Han ey (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 
XII, 1844, p. 147) has described, under the name of T. Diana, a form of his galatea 
with a smooth surface, and it must undoubtedly be this variety to which the 
specimens from the Gulf of Siam are most closely allied.

more closely SPENGLER’s T’. sinuata.
