TEREBRA. 1 6 



8), from China Sea, and T. Africana, Gray, T. intertincta, Hinds 

 (fig. 37), and T. marginata, Desh. (fig. 38), from West Africa. 

 There can be little doubt of the identity of these species with 

 T. variegata, and of the extensive distribution thus indicated it 

 is paralleled in other species of the genus as will be seen 

 hereafter. 



T. GOULDI, Desh. PI. 3, tig. 39. 



Whorls with a subsutural, nodulous band, closely longitu- 

 dinally plicate below it ; yellowish white, two-banded with very 

 pale chestnut, three bands on the body-whorl. 



Length, 2'5 inches. Sandwich Islands. 



T. aciculina, Kiener, var. (t. 7, f. 13 a), is probably a young 

 shell of this species. 



T. CONCINNA, Desh. PL 12, figs. 37, 32. 



Longitudinally finely plicated throughout, with a sutural band 

 defined by a groove ; yellowish flesh-color, the ribs lighter, with 

 a row of chestnut spots below the suture. Length, 40 mill. 



Japan. 



T. Dillwyni, Desh. (fig. 32), is a synonym. Reeve erro- 

 neously made T. concinna a synonym of T. strigilata. Linn., 

 and Pease changed the name to T. divisa on account of Buccinum 

 concinnum, Dillwyn. 



T. MARMORATA, Desh. PL 12, fig. 34. 



Longitudinally plicate, pricked in spiral series in the inter- 

 stices, the upper and more profound row indicating a sutural 

 band ; whitish, somewhat tessellated with large chestnut blotches, 

 darker-spotted on the sutvril margin, with a white band on the 

 periphery of the body-whorl. Length, 1-25-1-5 inches. 



Port Curtis, Australia (Stutchbury). 



T. BADIA, Desh. PL 3, fig. 40. 



Chocolate-colored, including the interior; longitudinally pli- 

 cated, including a subsutural band, body-whorl somewhat ven- 

 tricose, with several spiral granular striae on the lower part. 



Length, 2*5 mill. 



China. 



It is T. castanea, Hinds, not Kiener; altered by Deshayes as 

 above, and by Reeve to T. ligneola.
