A beautiful rose-dotted species, of which many specimens collected 

 by PEASE and by GARRETT are before me. 



T. UNEDO A. Adams. PL 10, figs. 17, 18. 



Shell elate-conic, very solid, narrowly false-umbilicate, red or 

 reddish brown, dotted with black; rosy at apex; outlines of spire a 

 little concave toward the apex ; whorls about 7, nearly flat above, 

 sutures linear, impressed, last whorl descend ing anteriorly, encircled 

 by about 13 or 14 granose line every second one, or on some spec- 

 imens every one articulated with black dots ; the interstices finely 

 spirally and obliquely striate ; base convex ; aperture tetragonal, the 

 outer lip bearing within a strong tubercle above, and a few plica? on 

 the outer and lower part ; columella short, oblique, with a very 

 slight fold above, very deeply entering the profound, extremely 

 narrow axial pit, and at the base terminating in a large squarish 

 trifid tooth ; parietal tract finely Avrinkled ; umbilicus bounded by

 form differs from T. clanguloides. It is higher, narrower, more acute 

 than stigmatarius ; the color is darker ; the line of the body-whorl 

 less numerous, and the umbilicus narrower. The microscopic spiral 

 lines in the inter-liral interstices also constitute a perfectly tangible 

 and characteristic difference. 



T. CEYLANICUS Nevill. PL 11, fig. 48. 



Shell small, conical, solid, whitish or yellowish, radiately striped 

 above with sepia, alutaceous or reddish brown, the stripes at the 

 periphery frequently branching, and with additional stripes inter- 

 calated between them, all of which continue upon the base as narrow 

 rays, or are there broken into tessellations ; whorls 5 to 6, slightly 

 convex, spirally gran ose-1 irate, the last bearing 12 or 13 line, the 

 upper six larger, separated by obliquely striate interstices about as
