Y. VOLVA, Gmelin. PL 28, fig. 90. 



Whitish, with three faint yellowish bands, upon which are a 

 few longitudinal, pale orange strigations ; yellowish brown or 

 coffee-colored within. Length, 3 inches. 



W. Australia; abundant. 



Certainly very close to V. Turneri. The species was rede- 

 scribed by Gray as F. pallida, but he subsequently united it with 

 V. Turneri. The patterns of coloration of the two species are 

 different, and I find no connecting links. 



Y. MACULATA, Swains. PL 25, fig. 59. 



Obconic, marked with chocolate spots forming two interrupted 

 bands on an orange surface ; aperture orange within. 



Length, 2'25 inches. 



East Australia. 



The coloring is more vivid than in F. volva, and the spire is 

 shorter, but the species may be only a variety of that shell, to 

 which it bears the same relation that F. zebra does to F. 

 Turneri. 



Y. ZEBRA, Leach. PL 28, fig. 91. 



White or yellowish, with close-set, narrow somewhat waved 

 longitudinal chestnut streaks ; very pale yellow or pink within 



the aperture. Length, r5-l <f T5 inches. 



East Coast of Australia. 



Resembling F. Turneri in coloration, but differing in its 

 smaller size, and short, obconic form. 



Y. LOROISI, Yalenciennes. PL 28, fig. 92. 



Light pinkish, with brown zebra-like stripes, columellar plaits 



almost obsolete. Length, 3 inches. 



Habitat unknown. 



Described from a worn specimen in the Paris Museum. It 

 belongs to the same group as F. zebra and Turneri, and may be 

 an overgrown specimen of the former. 



Y. CANALICULATA, McCoy. PL 28, fig. 95. 



Whitish, with five revolving rows of chestnut-colored oblong 



spots; suture channeled. Length, l'*75 inches. 



E. Australia. 

 F. Harfordi, Cox, described a few months later, is identical.
