NI T. DESHAYESII, Reeve. PL 52, figs. 502-507, 486. 



Turreted, with an angle at the shoulder, longitudinal ribs 

 small, rounded, interspaces wider, smooth ; white or ash color, 

 with chestnut revolving bands, usually tipping the ribs only and 

 thus appearing as rows of spots. Length, *75-l inch. 



Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Mauritius, New Caledonia, Polynesia. 

 First described from a poor specimen, in which the upper 

 portions of the ribs only are distinct, and the bands not well 

 defined. The shell which Reeve figures as T. rigida, Swainson 

 (fig. 504), is synonymous the true rigida being equivalent to 

 T.semifasciata, Lam. Other synonyms are T. Michaudi, Crosse 

 and Fischer (fig. 505), proposed for T. rigida, Reeve, not 

 Swainson, T. Dunkeri, Schmeltz MSS., and T. alauda of Sowb. 

 (figs. 506, 507), not Quoy, Voy. Astrol. as quoted by Sowerby 

 no such species occurring in that work. I figure also, a variety 

 of uniform dark chocolate color. 



T. AMANDA, Reeve. PL 52, fig. 508. 



Ribs crossed by fine revolving striae, a little nodulous next the 

 suture ; alternately banded with light chestnut and white.
