DRILLIA. 181 



This is possibty only a dark-colored, strongly sculptured D. 

 gibbosa. It is P. turricula, Sowb., not Montagu, and P. cor- 

 rugata, Sowb., not Kiener. 



D. MAURA, Sowerby. PL 10, fig. 70 ; PL 32, fig 43.

Shell orange-brown, the tubercles lighter-colored ; spiral 

 striae stronger towards the base of the body-whorl. 



Length, 53 mill. 



Japan.

P. INTERRUPTA, Lamarck. PL 10, figs. 68, 76. 



Sharply turreted, longitudinally ribbed and spirally striated ;
