TURRICULA. 165 



adult. T. coccinea, Reeve (fig. 390), is a color-variety in which 

 the chocolate bands have disappeared ; Sowerby has figured it 

 under the name of T. crocea, Reeve which is a very different 

 species. T. Tayloriana, Sowb. (figs. 388, 389) is intermediate 

 between T. coccinea and the typical coloration. 



T. DENNISONI, Reeve. PI. 48, fig. 391. 



Yellowish or orange, stained with chocolate between the ribs, 

 with a median white zone. Length, 2-25 inches. 



Philippines. Cuming ; .Red Sea. Sowerby. 



Sowerby figures a variety of this species which appears to 

 connect it too closely with the preceding one of this monograph. 



T. JUCUNDA, Dunker. Plate 48, fig. 398. . 



Yellowish or orange brown, with a median, obscure white 



band. Length, 61 mill. 



Saigon. 



There is a thin, deciduous, pallid, corneous epidermis. More 

 finely sculptured and more regular in growth than the variety of 

 T. tseniata represented by coccinea, Reeve, there is nevertheless 

 considerable resemblance between them. 



T. ELEGANS, Reeve. PL 48, fig. 392. 



Whitish or fleshy-brown, encircled with one or more narrow 



chocolate lines. Length, I'l inches.

 chocolate. Length, l'5-2'25 inches.

Mr. Cuming found it in coral sand at low water, at the Philip- 

 pines ; Mr. Garrett, in sandy mud, at the Yiti Isles sometimes 

 buried to the depth of two feet. The color variations are 

 numerous ; two of them have received names.

Lighter colored, with the scarlet spots confined to two 

 revolving rows on the body-whorl, one on those of the spire.
