TIARA. 17 



but differs in being coarser, in wanting the strong and prominent 

 longitudinal furrows which characterise that species, and which 

 are observable throughout its length ; the outer lip also has a 

 tendency to be more produced ; while the flame-shaped streaks of 

 colouring are narrower, closer, and less devious or zigzag, often 

 becoming bifid or pronged on the body-whorl ; epidermis pale 

 olive-green or olive-brown, ornamented with close, narrow, irregular 

 transverse dashes. General number of whorls in eroded and 

 decollated specimens five, though nine or ten would appear to 

 be the correct number, wrinkled transversely by coarse lines of 

 increase ; the upper angle of the aperture is never so acute as in 

 M. pyramis, and the sutures are deeper and whorls more tumid at 

 their junction.

" A remarkable form ; spire short, with ventricose whorls, sub- 

 stance thick, coloration uniform green (or almost so), longitudinal 

 ribbing remarkably developed, even on the last whorl."

Var. myadoungensis, Nevill, torn. cit. p. 245. 



" A very distinct form remarkable for its ' terebra-like ' pro- 

 duced spire, its contracted or appressed whorls (especially the 

 last) ; the spiral, undulating sculpture is more acutely prominent 

 than in any form I know ; all the whorls, except the last, have 

 a light longitudinal ribbing as well; of a light yellowish-green 

 colour, prettily marbled with brown. Anfr. 8 ; long. 27|, diam. 

 7/0- mm." 



" PI. 74, fig. 1 of the Con. Indica resembles it, only 



the last whorl is too ventricose, etc."

" A form nearer Eeeve's fig. 109 B ; distinguished from the 

 preceding by the more developed longitudinal structure through- 

 out."
