The slender shape, small aperture, and nearly straight, ver- 

 tical columella, which is but slightly thickened, distinguish 

 this species, which according to Garrett, "inhabits all the 

 groups from the Marquesas and Paumotus to the Viti Islands. 

 Like T. philippii, it is a ground species, though sometimes 

 found on the fronds of ferns, and ranges from near the sea- 

 shore to 2,000 or more feet above sea-level. Prof. Mousson 

 gives an accurate description of oblonga, under the name of 

 bacillaris, from specimens collected by Dr. Graeffe at the 

 Samoa Islands. I collected Mr. Pease's type examples at 

 Huaheine. Its slender form and nearly vertical simple colu- 

 mella will easily distinguish it. ' ' 



Mr. Pease originally had this form mixed with T. conica 

 Mouss., and his description was apparently drawn from both 

 species perhaps rather more from conica. Garrett pointed 

 out the mixture, restricting oblonga to the present form. It 

 may be added that specimens in coll. A. N. S. received from 

 Pease are the form herein described as oblonga. In the collec- 

 tion of the Academy there are examples from Huaheine (figs. 

 9-11), Tahiti (figs. 5, 6), Marquesas Is., Rarotonga, Mauiki, 

 Hervey Is., Palmyra L, and the Hawaiian Is. It is very 

 uniform in character, except that the columella varies from
