S. VERRUCOSUM, Phil. PL 3, figs. 37, 38. 



Umbilicus contracted, c re n illation 8 white, very strong whorls 

 spirally sulcate and, in the spire, granose ; color yellowish cream 

 with interrupted bands of chestnut-red below the suture, at the 

 periphery and above and below the middle of the whorl ; base 

 many-ribbed and crenated, ribs specked with yellowish brown. 



Diam. 1-2 inches. 



West Indies. 



S. nobile, Hanley, is a synonym. 



This species is probably synonymous with S. granulatum. 



S. L^EVIGATUM, Lam. PI. 4, figs. 43, 44. 



Umbilicus narrow, crenulations white or cream color; whorls 

 smooth, spirally quadri-sulcate, ribbed above, on and below the

 fully sprinkled with yellowish-brown ; base with fine, revolving 

 interrupted orange-brown lines and plentifully blotched near the 

 periphery with the same color. Diam. 1-1'5 inches. 



India. 



Easily distinguished by the pinkish-purple color, the smooth-

 orange-brown lines on the base. 



S. REEVEI, Hanley. PI. 4, figs. 45, 46. 



Shell very conoidal ; umbilicus rather narrow, with white 

 crenulations; whorls spirally unisulcate or bisulcate near the 

 suture, ribbed at the periphery, spirally sulcate and ribbed 

 above and below the periphery and near the umbilicus, ribs 

 finely crenulated, entire surface of the shell covered with close, 

 obliquel}' radiating growth-lines; color pinkish-flesh with inter- 

 rupted orange-brown bands below the suture, on the ribs about 

 the periphery, and liner bands near the middle of the whorls. 



Diam. 1 inch. 



Australia. 



Easily distinguished by the fine crenulations of the narrow 

 umbilicus, the very conoid shape and the line sculpture. Reeve 

 has suggested that this species may be an Australian dwarf
