THE PRETLTILY-CROWNED Trocuus. Shell excavately 
umbilicated, depressly conoid, rather solid, whitish, 
profusely stained and variegated with rose-red; whorls

Hab. West Indies. 
This exquisitely carved species presents a curious cha- 
racteristic in having the lower row of grains in each whorl 
open and apparently tubular. The grains throughout 
have an irregularly swollen wart-like aspect.

| Tue Bruisep Trocnus. Shell excavately imbricated,

The ridges of grains are alternately larger and smaller, 
aud the same character attaches to the ridges of the base.
