TEREBRA. 19 



Kiener (fig. 64), and T. Souleyeti, Desh. (fig. 65). I think it 

 probable that T. larvseformis. Hinds (figs. 66, 67), of the West 

 Coast of Central America, should also be here referred ; I cannot 

 detect any specific differences. T. Sowerbyana, Desh. (PI. 12, 

 fig. 31), from West Africa, appears to be also identical. 



T. MARIESI, E. A. Smith. PI. 4, fig. 68. . 



Longitudinally costate, with traces of spiral lines, the costse 

 ending in tubercles below the also tuberculate sutural band ; 

 yellowish brown, variegated with reddish brown. 



Length, 45 mill. 



Japan. 



Yery closely allied to the preceding species, but narrower. 

 The aperture appears to be imperfect in the specimen figured. 



T. JEFFREYSII, E. A. Smith. PI. 4, fig. 60. 



Longitudinal riblets about 20, fine, oblique, decussated by 

 spiral striae, about 5 on a whorl, the two uppermost striae widest 

 apart forming two nodulous bands next the suture ; yellowish, 

 dotted with light brown between the two series of nodules, and 

 streaked with the same color beneath, body-whorl with a pale 

 central zone. Length, 25 mill. 



Japan. 



This, the preceding and following species, should probably 

 be united. 



T. SUBTEXTILIS, Smith. PI. 4, fig. 70. 



White ; with about twenty costae, and ten spiral striae, three 

 of the latter upon the nodulous sutural band. Length, 37 mill. 



Japan. 

 See remarks under preceding species. 



T. BIFRONS, Hinds. PI. 4, fig. 71. 



Fawn-brown, obscurely rufous-banded ; whorls somewhat con- 

 vex, encircled with four rows of pale granules, last whorl many- 

 grained ; sutural baud only faintly indicated by a concavity, 

 instead of a groove. Length, 2 inches. 



Japan. 

 T. AMCENA, Deshayes. PI. 5, fig. 73. 



Turreted, rather narrow ; yellowish, with red spots on the
