Hah.— Tahiti. 



Shell elongately turrited, cylindrical ; spire decollated, without 

 varices ; whorls planely convex, transversely finely and regularly 

 ribbed, interstices slightly concave and very finely striate trans- 

 versely, longitudinally irregularly striate, the ribs becoming 

 more or less granulose ; columella arched, smooth, with a slight 

 posterior callus ; lip lirate within, notched above ; canal short ; 

 vellovvish white, ornamented with longitudinal blotches of dark 

 reddish brown, regularly disposed, usually oblique on last whorl. 



Remarks. — Two species of the above form were collected by 

 Mr. Cuming at the Philippine Islands, and described as T. de- 

 capitatus and truncatus. The latter inhabits the Sandwich Isl- 

 ands, where it differs but slightly from the type. The former I 

 have received from the Kingsmill Islands. The above species 

 differs from them in being more slender, and cylindrical, also 

 smaller in size. .Its sculpture is more regular, without longi- 

 tudinal ribs. It is nearest allied to T. truncatus.
