22 CALYCIA. 



Fig. 16 is a copy of Reeve's type figure ; fig. 18 from Tapparone- 

 Canefri, and fig. 17 after von Martens, from a small specimen from 

 Maccluer Gulf. 



Wallace found it u on tree trunks, the animal green," on Waighiu 

 island. Sohacko, who investigated dried specimens, states that the 

 mantle is light blue, columellar margin blue-reddish, the foot yellow 

 and brown. The radula has the formula 350.1.350, with 174 rows 

 of teeth. 



A specimen of C. crystallina has been leported from the Moluccas 

 by Tapperone Canefri, on the authority of L. M. D'Albertis. It 

 may have been carried there by natives, whose trading journeys 

 cover this whole region. 



Var. gracilior Martens. Shell imperforate, oblong-conoid, the 

 spiral sulci less close and a little stronger, angle of the last whorl 

 almost wanting, columellar margin white, flatly appressed. Length 

 45, diam. 27, length of aperture 27, width 17 mill. (Martens).
