132 SCABRICOLA. 



M. ZEPHYRINA, Duclos. PI. 38, figs. 129, 130. 



Cylindrical oliviform, with distant, slightly impressed revolv- 

 ing lines ; chestnut-brown, sometimes flecked with white in two 



spiral series. Length, '75-1 inch. 



Mauritius. 



The variety without spots has been called M. Nevilli by Mr. 

 Hanley (fig. 130). 



M. EBURNEA, Philippi. Unfigured. Marquesas Islands. 



Not included in the monographies, and unknown to me. 



Section Soabricola, Swainson. 



Mitre-shaped or pyramidal ; granulated or scabrous. 

 M. TESSELLATA, Martyn. PL 38, figs. 139, 136. 



Pale yellow, with chestnut-brown longitudinal flames. 



Length, 2'5-3'5 inches. 



Polynesia ; Zanzibar ? 



The longitudinal plications sometimes become obsolete, on 

 which state M. terebraMs, Lam. (fig. 136 ), is founded. It is 

 doubtful whether the latter form comes from Zanzibar ; at any 

 rate, I have before me examples of it from the Paumotus Islands. 

 Garrett says that the animal is cream-yellow ; the small triangular 

 foot is reddish brown above, and the siphon is varied with a 

 lighter shade of the same color. Philippi contends that 

 Lamarck's species terebralis is different from the figure bearing 

 that name in Reeve, and so calls the latter M. Reevei ; but 

 Deshayes, in Lamarck, refers to Kiener's figure, which is the 

 same as that of Reeve and Sowerby. 



M. IMPRESSA, Anton. PI. 38, fig. 132. 



Yellowish or orange-brown ; sometimes slightly shouldered. 



Length, 1-1-25 inches. 



Japan. 



So closely is this related to the M. granulosa, that, were it not 

 for the difference in locality, I would be disposed to consider it 

 a variety. 



M. VITELLINA, Gould. PL 38, fig. 134. 



Pale orange, with an imperfect white vitta adjacent to the 

 posterior revolving striae, a second at the anterior third of the
