26 TEREBRA. 



peripheral row on the last whorl ; between these two the surface 

 is concave, obsoletely ribbed and finely spirally striated. 



Length, 20 mill. So - Carolina. 



T. frigata, Hinds (fig. 26), is probably a synonym ; it is 

 ascribed to Africa (Gray), and Galapagos Is. (Cuming) : both 

 localities need confirmation. 



** Whorls smooth. 



T. CORRUGATA, Lam. PL 7, figs. 21, 28, 32. 



Fulvous cream or ash-color, with two or three bands of chest- 

 nut spots ; sutural band often lighter-colored, with small chestnut 

 spots, tuberculate. Length, 2'25-3 inches. 



Loanda, W. Africa. 



The synonyms are T. regina, Desh. (fig. 28), T. bitorquata, 

 Desh. (fig. 32', and T. punctata, Gray. 



T. TESSELLATA, Gray. PL 7, figs. 27, 19. 



Shell whitish, with two rows of oblong chestnut or chocolate 

 spots ; whorls concavely flattened, decussated by fine ridges, the 

 spiral ones stronger, suture bordered by two tuberculated bands. 



Length, 35 mill. Marquesas (Hinds). 



The description is drawn up from T. ligata, Hinds (fig. 19), 

 which appears to be the typical form. T. tessellata, Gray, no 

 locality, is from a single specimen in the British Museum ; the 

 whorls are said to be smooth, but the resemblance to Hinds' 

 species, over which it has priority of description, is striking. 

 T. DECORATA, Desh. PL 7, fig. 16. 



Whitish, with two series (on the body-whorl three) of chest- 

 nut quadrangular spots; whorls smooth, longitudinally striated, 

 marginal band tuberculated. Length, 28 mill. 



Pidang, Sumatra. 



Reeve figures this species under the name of T. tessellata, 

 Gray, which has a double band of tubercles. 

 T. HISTRIO, Desh. PL 7, fig. 29. 



Yellowish, with waved longitudinal chestnut stripes, interrupted 



at the periphery ; longitudinally striate, the stria becoming pli- 

 cations upon the sutural band, where the surface is variegated 

 with chestnut lines. Length, 45 mill. H ab. unknown
