chestnut-white or brownish white, with a darker band below the 

 periphery. Length, 23 mill.

T. CANCELLATA, Quoy. PI. 5, figs. 83, 84, 86 ; PI. 6, figs. 92-97, 

 100-3, 6. 



Yellowish white, orange, chestnut or chocolate-color, the nodu- 

 lous sutural band white, often with a white band below the 

 periphery; plications close, rounded, curved, the narrow inter- 

 stices closely striate ; margins of aperture as well as the interior 

 often stained with a darker color. Length, 44 mill. 



Moluccas, Philippines, Viti Isles, Sandwich Isles. 



M. Deshayes, supposing that the figure in the Thes. Conch, 

 (fig. 83) does not represent this species, has called it T. undatella. 

 T. livida, Reeve (fig. 86), appears to me to be a form of this species ; 

 it comes from the Philippines. T. subangulata, Desh. (fig. 92), 

 described from a single specimen, also probably belongs here. 



A slight variety is T. columellaris, Hinds (fig. 93), of which 

 T. areolata, Adams and Reeve (fig. 94) is probably a synonym 

 as stated by Reeve, although Deshayes considers the two forms 

 distinct. 



I add as synonyms T. flavescens, Desh. (fig. 95) ; T. approxi- 

 mata, Desh. (fig. 96), which has ruder coarser sculpture, and is a 

 stouter shell ; T.flava, Gray (fig. 6), an immature shell ; T. lutes- 

 cens, E. A. Smith (fig. 97), founded on Sowerby's figure of T. 

 flava in the Thes. Conch., which Mr. Smith considers specifically 

 distinct from the figure in Reeve's Iconica; T. puncticulata, 

 Desh. (fig. 100) ; T. Peasei, Deshayes (unfigured) ; T. Hindsi, 

 Desh. (fig. 1) ; T. Bruguieri, Desh. (fig. 2) ; and T. difficilis, 

 Desh. (fig. 3.) 



T. UNDULATA, Gray. PI. 6, figs. 4, 8. 



Ribs rather large, rounded, close, with spiral stria* on the 

 narrow interstices, sutural band well-marked, forming a slight, 

 nodulous shoulder to the whorls ; yellowish or orange, the inter- 

 stices deeper-colored, appearing as though longitudinally stri- 

 gate, band white, sometimes white-banded on the periphery ; 

 aperture rather narrow, the lips often stained with orange-red.
