KUNGL. SV. VET. AKADEMIENS HANDLINGAR. BAND 52. n:0 I[6. 59 
spiral cords on the penultimate whorl, of which 3 stronger, the subsutural zone is 
finely striated. — Distribution: N. Guinea, Straits of Malacca, Australia (Tryon, 
Man. of Conch. 6, 1884). 
M. crassicingulata Scunpman. 45 miles W. S. W., 66 feet (°%/s), 1 empty 
shell, 1.5 mm; wh. 8. Though very small, the specimen exhibits in all details the 
characteristics of the very easily recognizable type (cf. ScumPMAN 1913, pl. XXIX, 
fig. 1). It has 9 longitudinal ribs on the last whorl and 5 spiral cords besides 2 
smaller subsutural ones above them. The produced shape is quite similar, and even 
the characteristic excavations in the interstices of the ribs on the basal constriction 
are traceable. The type specimen was taken in Madura Bay (Siboga Exp. St. 51). 
FAM. CONIDAE. 
Conus pulchellus Swainson. 42 miles W. S. W., 72 feet, 1 sp., 1. 38 mm, 
without pearly cords, only with elevated spiral lines at the base; no distinct spiral 
bands, only red lines and a rose tint at the angular keel, marking a band; spire 
flamy of reddish brown and white. In shape it agrees with figs. 5 and 6, in colour 
with figs. 7 and 8, pl. 36 in Wernkaurr 1875 (Martini & CuEMNiTz, Conch. Cab. 
Conidae). — Ceylon, Philippines, Mauritius, Australia, N. Caledonia (MELVILL 1909). 
C. textile Linnt. 45 miles W. S. W., 66 feet (*'/7), 1. sp., 1.33 mm; 42 miles, 
W. 8S. W., 66—72 feet ("/7), 2 sps, max. 1. 30 mm. Distribution: Gulf of Oman, 
Red Sea, East Africa, N. Australia, Philippines, Japan, Polynesia (MELviLt & Sran- 
DEN 190], v. Marrens 1880, 1903; HepLey 1889, 1910;. ScHrpMan 1913, Watson 
1886). 
FAM. TEREBRIDAE. 
Terebra pertusa Bory. 45 miles W. 8S. W., 65 feet (°/7), 1 sp., 1. 28 mm. 
Agrees in the sculpture with a specimen of 7’. pertusa in R. M. (from Java), but the 
colour is lighter and the dots on the subsutural band are not so sharply pronounced. 
— The species is recorded from Darnley Island, Australia (TRYON 1885; HEDLEY 
1910), S. Africa, Seychelles and Providence Isl. (MrtviLL 1909). 
T. eximia Desuayes (PI. 2, fig. 63). 45 miles W. S. W., 70 feet (?/z), 3 sps, 
max. h. 28 mm, evidently not full-grown, as they have only 18 whorls. The sculp- 
ture agrees with the description and figure given by Rerve (Conch. Icon. 12, 1860, 
fig. 106). The colour is white, bluish and violet towards the apex, and dotted all 
over with a single series of obscure brown dots, situated either on the subsutural 
band or on the whorls. Besides the unique specimen figured by Rerve, MEtviti & 
StANDEN (1898) described and figured a second larger one (48 mm) from Madras 
(Journ. of Conch. 1898, pl. 1, fig. 8). Of the 3 present specimens found off Cape 
Jaubert, the largest one contains a far withdrawn animal, the others are empty. 
T. columellaris Hinps. (PI. 2, fig. 64). 45 miles W. S. W., 70—72 feet (*/7), 
1. 22.8 mm, whorls 15; 42 miles W. S. W., 36 feet (''/7), 1. 17.3 mm, wh, 12, — On
