Shell ovately trigonal, yariegated with brown, longitudinally strongly 
striated ; spire acuminated ; inner lip anteriorly subflexuose. 
Hab. San Nicholas, island of Zebu; H. C. (Mus. Cuming.) 
The sharp-pointed spire, striated epidermis and flexuous inner lip, 
distinguish this form: in the outer lip two of the teeth are more pro- 
minent than the others, the intermediate ones being more or less di- 
vided or bifid.

S. testd ovato-oblongd, leviusculd, tenuissimé in longum rugatd, 
corned ; anfractu ultimo interdum castaneo, superius corneo 
bifasciato ; epidermide lineis obseuris ziczac-formibus, punctis-

Shell ovately oblong, rather smooth, longitudinally very finely ru- 
gose, horn-coloured, last whorl chestnut-coloured, with two horn- 
coloured bands superiorly ; epidermis ornamented with zigzag reticu- 
lated lines and punctures. 
Hab. China. (Mus. Cuming.) 
The reticulated epidermis, narrow ovoid form, and angulated outer 
lip are peculiar to this species; the aperture is oblong, equal to the 
spire ; the outer lip below the angle is rectilinear, and but three teeth 
are visible in the outer lip.

S. testd ovatd, fuscd, longitudinaliter valde striatd ; striis undu- 
latis subdecussantibus ; anfractu ultimo posticé gibboso ; labio

Sheil ovate, fuscous, longitudinally strongly striated ; striee undu- 
lated, posteriorly decussating ; last whorl posteriorly gibbous ; outer 
lip arcuated, greatly reflected. 
Hab. ——’ (Mus. Cuming.) 
The waved elevated lines which cross each other irregularly on the 
back, and the last whorl posteriorly tumid, will characterize this 
species: the upper tooth is large and elongated on the inner lip, and 
the lower tooth of the outer lip is rather lamelliform.

The pyramidal form, golden aperture, and light yellow-brown mark- 
ings distinguish this species, though some specimens are much more 
ovate than others: the peritreme is double and thickened, the middle
