28. GEMMATUS, pi. vi. f. 56, Reeve, Conch. Icon,, sp. 

 62. — Testa ovata, rufescens ; spira acutiuscula, sutura sub- 

 profunde canaliculata ; anfractas superne subangulati, 

 deinde leviter convexi, nodulis parvis undiqne gemmati ;

29. EXQUisiTUS, pi. vi. f. 61, Angas, Proc. Zool. See. 

 1878, p. 175. — Testa parva, turbinata, imperforata, pallide 

 viridula vel carnea, rufo maculata et flammulata ; spira elata, 

 gradata ; anfractiis circ, 5, biangulati, spiraliter scabroso 

 lirati, superne complanati ; apertura subquadrata ; columella 

 inerassata. — A charming little species, distinguished by the 

 squareness of the whorls, and the delicate regidarity of the 

 finely scabrous ribs. — Hab. Cape Solander, Botany Bay, 

 Australia (Brazier). 



30. TEOCiroiDES, pi. vii. f. 67, Reeve, Conch. Icon., sp. 58. 

 — Testa subpyramidali - ovata, perforata, luteo-albicante, 

 olivaceo radiatim maculata, lineolis minutissimis aurantio 

 fuscis oblique reticulatis picta ; anfractus biangulati, superne 

 concavo-planati, ad angulum obsolete nodosi, ubique spirali- 

 ter sulcati. — A somewhat remarkable species described from 

 a specimen acquired by the British Museum from the col- 

 lection of the late Mr. Taylor. In external appearance it is 

 somewhat like a Littorina, and it approaches somewhat to 

 the Gibbula section of Trochus. There is a strong probability 

 of its being a Turbo, but the operculum being unknown, it 

 is impossible to say with certainty. — Hab. — - ?

 able form, rarely met with. — Hab. Philippines (Cuming).
