192 PUSIA. 



i 



T. TUMIDA, Reeve. PI. 56, fig. (>->*.). 



Whorls swollen and angulated around the upper part, the 

 angle with a few large nodules; yellowish white, or: nig*- or 

 reddish between the nodules and at the base, with a broad 



central chocolate band. Length, 1'5 inch. 



Australia. 



So close to the preceding species that I hesitated about 

 separating them. The color is the same, but this shell is wider. 

 and the nodules are less numerous and larger, with a decided 

 shoulder on the whorls. 



T. TNTERRUPTA, Anton. PI. 56, fig. 631. 



Whitish, with interrupted revolving lines of chestnut-brown. 

 forming a central band, with traces of an inferior one. 



Length, P 4 inch. 



Habitat unknown. 



Evidently immature. Not included in the genus by either 

 Reeve or Sowerby, and I am unacquainted with it. 



T. NODULOSA, Pease. PI. 56, fig. 632. 



White, interrupted^ encircled with brown below. 



Length, 10 mill. 



Paumotus. 



Appears to be very closely allied to, if not identical with T. 

 interrupt a, Anton. 



T. ENCAUSTA, Gould. PI. 56, fig. 633. 



Ash-colored, with eight or nine coarse longitudinal ribs, and 

 deeply incised, regular revolving striae of a dusky color. 



Length, '35 inch. 



Fiji Islands. 



A yourig shell, the affinities of which I cannot make out, 

 neither from the original figure and desc.ription, nor from an 

 authentic specimen before me. 



T. SPECIOSA, Reeve. PI. 56, fig. 634. 



Pinkish white, with a central reddish-brown band, appearing 

 only on the tops of the regular longitudinal ribs ; a row of spots 

 above, and another below it ; aperture pink within. 



Length, *Y inch. 



Philippines, M<nrritinx, donlS* and rantnotus I*.
