Blainwllei, Desh. PI. 50, figs. 104, 95, 92. 



Usually uniform chocolate color exteriorly ; the aperture bor- 

 dered with chocolate, bluish within. Shoulder and tubercles 

 very slight, shell rather thin. Peruvian. To this form belong 

 P. Gallaoensix. Blainv. (non dray), P. DelessKrtiana, d'Orb. (fig. 

 95), P. Pertn-ia/ta. Sou ley et (fig. 92), and P. Janelli, Kiener. 

 (tig. 98). 



P. LINEATA, Lam. PI. 50, fig. 10(1. 



Yellowish, with orange-colored revolving ribs, which are 

 slightly nodulous on the shoulder ; interior yellow, with columella 

 and lip tinged with orange; substance of shell rather thin. 



Length, 1*5 inches. , 



Habitat unknown.

Subgciius Trochia, Swains.

Length, 1*5 inches. 



(^ipe of Good Hope.
