Hab. ad insulam Negi'os, Philippinaiiim. 



Mr. Cuming collected several of this species at the island of Ne- 

 gros. The shell is by no means a new one, but it has been hitherto 

 confounded with the Tornatella solidula, probably in consequence of 

 its resemblance in colour. It differs in form, and besides being more 

 highh" polished, is stamped with a certain peculiarity of character by 

 which it cannot fail to be recognised.

This elegant little shell was found by Dr. Riippell at the Red Sea, 

 on the sands at low water. It is finely striated in a transverse di-

 flesh-coloured square spots.

This shell, which was brought by Dr. Siebald from Japan, is ir- 

 regularly stained with a ruddy brow^n, exhibiting the appearance of 

 ha\'ing been dyed in two distinct colours ; the sutures of the spire 

 are perfectly white, and so is also the columella.
