Tins, the hugest species and the type of the p;cnu.=i, is 

 di.stingui.shable at a ghiiice by tlie wliorls being flattened or 

 channelled above in such a remarkable manner. 



The geograpiiical distribution of this species has hitherto 

 been uncertain, since the only h)calities quoted were " I'he 

 I-hmd St. Tiioinas " (^Soioerb//) and Japan [Kohelt *). 

 Mr. Tomlin has a specimen, with the operculum, from 

 Mossamedes in Angola, which he obtained direct from that 

 place. It therefore ;?eems fairly certain that Sowerby's locality 

 was the St. Thomas Island in tiie Gulf of Guinea, and that 

 Kobelt was wrong in quoting Japan. 



In the third edition of Argenville's * Conchyliologie ' 

 (1780), pi. xl. fig. J 3, this species is figured, with forms of 

 Terebra, Cerithiuin, &c., merely under the general term 

 "Vis'' (screw-shell.-).
