242 SURCULA. 



S. OWENII, Gray. PI. 7, fig. 91. 



Whorls encircled by a row of compressed tubercles at the 

 periphery, and a smaller one beneath the suture ; below the 

 periphery granulated by the intersection of fine revolving riblets 

 and close curved growth costa* ; cream-brown or nearly white, 

 often orange-tinged at the extremity of the spire. 



L. 30, diam. 11 mill. 



Australia. 

 S. QUOYI, Reeve. PL 7, fig. 95. 



Shell yellowish brown, with a double row of small, compressed 

 nodules on the periphery, above which the surface is slightly 

 concave to a subsutural, slightly nodulous band, which is 

 regularly square-spotted with chestnut ; lower part of body- 

 whorl with revolving, fine ridges and striae. 



L. 28, diam. 12 mill. 



Australia. 



With this species Reeve and Weinkauff unite P. monile, Val. ; 

 it appears to me more nearly related to the group Perrona.

 Robert Boog Watson in the " Mollusca of the Challenger 

 Expedition." They have not been figured.
