T.(Senectus) moluccensis Phil.—One of the most interesting 
examples in the collection. Although we have never seen 
the type, the description given by Philippi is so lucid, and 
Sowerby’s figure (Thes. Conch., Turbo, pl. xiv., fig. 177) so 
plain that we have had but little difficulty in our identifica- 
tion. ‘The original locality is Amboyna. ‘The shell is a 
warm yellow, narrowly umbilicate, with polished transverse 
ribs, the interstices being obscurely crenulate, whorls five in 
number, and the ribs flecked with red and yellow spotting ; 
last whorl slightly angled below the sutures, and outer lip 
tinged with green. In the Manchester Museum collection.
