Trocnus saceLLum. och. testa modicé excavato-umbi- 
licatd, conoided, solidd, corallo-rubra vel lutescente, 
rufo marmorata; anfractibus planulatis, triseriatin 
papillari-granatis, ad marginem spinoso-nodatis, nodis 
bisectis ; basi convexiusculd, circulariler grano-liratd, 
interstitiis circulariter striatis. 
THE TeMPLE Trocuus. Shell moderately excavately um- 
bilicated, conoid, solid, coral-red or yellowish, mar- 
bled with red; whorls rather flattened, encircled with 
three rows of papillary grains, spinosely noduled at 
the margin, nodules bisected; base a little convex,

Hab. Island of Luzon, Philippines (on the reefs at low 
water); Cuming. 
Of this species we have figured a more characteristic 
specimen in the next Plate, fig. 93. The shell represented 
in our present Plate is of a deep coral-red; the other, 
which agrees better with Dr. Philippi’s figure, is of a warm 
fawn-yellow, marbled with paler scarlet-red. 
Species 79. (Fig. a, 6, Mus. Cuming.) 
Trocuus viripis. TZroch. testa excuvato-umbilicati, co- 
nicd, viridescens ; anfractibus seriatim plicato-grana- 
tis, granis nune parvis, obtusis, nune majoribus, pauci- 
oribus, subspinosis; basi plano-concavd, circulariter 
striala. 
THE GREEN TRocHUs. Shell excavately umbilicated, co- 
nical, green ; whorls seriately plicately grained, grains 
sometimes small, obtuse, sometimes larger, fewer, and 
somewhat spinous; base flatly concave, circularly 
striated.

Hab. New Zealand. 
Our figures of this species illustrate its extreme varie- 
ties; one, in which the granules are small and obtuse, the 
other, in which they are large, fewer in number, and spi- 
nous. 
Species 80. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Trocuts RapiatTus. Troch. testé eacavato-umbilicata, 
depresso-conicd, albidd, purpureo-rufo oblique radiata; 
anfractibus convexiusculis, triseriatim nodoso-granatis,

tim granulato ; basi planiusculd, ru 0-punctatd, circu- 
lariter liratis, liris obsolete granatis, interstittis circu- 
lariter striatis. 
RAYED Trocuus. Shell excavately umbilicated, de- 
pressly conical, whitish, obliquely rayed with purple- 
red; whorls rather convex, encircled with three rows 
of nodose granules, interstices obliquely wrinkle-stri- 
ated, margin encircled with two rows of smaller 
grains ; base rather flat, red-dotted, circularly ridged, 
THE 
ridges obsoletely granuled, interstices circularly stvi- 
ated.

Hab. -——? 
An extremely variable species, in which the purple-red 
flames are mostly broader and more conspicuous than in

1640, 1641, and 1642. 
the specimen figured in the accompanying Plate. 
Species 81. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Trocuus TENEBRICUS. och. testé ewcavato-umbilicatd, 
conic, solidiusculd, viridi et ferrugineo-fuscd ; an-

lidé granatis, margine basali rotundato, anfractuum 
margine versus apicem subtuberculato ; basi convecins- 
culd, densé grano-liratd, rufo minute punctata. 
THE pincy Trocuus. Shell excavately umbilicated, co- 
nical, rather solid, green and rust-brown; whorls 
rather convex, spirally obliquely strongly grained 
throughout, basal margin rounded, margin of the 
whorls towards the apex slightly tubercled; base 
rather convex, densely grain-ridged, minutely dotted 
with red. 
Tab. ? 
A solid and rather dingy-coloured shell, though prettily 
dotted with red at the base.
