The accompanying figures of this species represent the 
varieties in which the granulation is sometimes smaller, 
sometimes larger, and the larger the sculpture is the 
darker is the painting and ground colour of the shell. 
Species 96. (Fig. a, 6, Mus. de Burgh.) 
TROCHUS ELEGANTULUS. Troch. testa subabbreviato-conicd, 
coccineo-roseo et albo variegatd, prope suturas cinereo-

Tue ELEGANT Trocuus. Shell rather shortly conical, va- 
riegated with white and scarlet rose, ash-brown near 
the sutures, whorls ventricosely rounded, wrinkle- 
tubercled, densely gemmed throughout with rows of 
strong grains.

Hab. Ceylon. 
A beautifully-grained species richly marbled with crim- 
son-rose and white, conspicuously characterized by the 
roundness of the whorls, which are tubercled in a wrinkled 
manner.

THE GRAINED Trocuus. Shell broadly conical, sharp, 
yellowish-white, copiously flamed with dark-green, 
whorls sloping, strongly wart-grained, grains irregu- 
lar; base circularly grained, lightning-marked with 
green.

This may probably be only a variety of 7. maculatus, 
but it is very far removed from the type of that species. 
Species 98. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Troch. testd late pyramidali-conicd, 
alba, olivaceo et virescente variegatd, versus apicem 
roseo maculata, anfractibus concavo-declivibus, gra- 
natis, ad marginem inferiorem tuberculatis, granis 
amplis, subdistantibus ; basi medio ampliter excavatid, 
circulariter grano-liratd, liris subdistantibus. 
THE FoRGOTTEN Trocuus. Shell broadly pyramidally 
conical, white, variegated with olive and pale-green, 
blotched towards the apex with rose, whorls con- 
cavely sloping, 
gin, grains large, rather distant; base largely exca- 
vated in the middle, circularly grain-ridged, ridges 
rather distant.

I am quite unable to refer this shell, after a multitude 
of comparisons, with any described species. 
Species 99. (Fig. a, 6, Mus. Cuming.) 
Trocuus VENETUS. T'roch. testé abbreviato-conicd, albidd, 
rosco lentiginosd, virescente et purpureo flammatd, an- 
Sractibus dense granatis, granis inferioribus parvis, mo- 
niliformibus; basi medio ampliter excavatd, circulariter 
superficialiter liratd, levigatd, conspicue flammata. 
THe DYED Trocuus. Shell shortly conical, whitish, 
freckled with rose, flamed with light green and pur- 
ple, whorls densely grained, lower grains small, 
necklace-like; base largely excavated in the middle, 
circularly superficially ridged, smooth, conspicuously 
flamed. 
Hab. Moluccas. 
The upper surface of this species is grained, but the 
base is smooth.
