Like the specimens which were mentioned hy me in the 'Annals and 

 Magazine of Natural History' 1875, these also from the Goto Islands 

 are much smaller than the type, which seems to be of very unusual 

 dimensions. The Goto specimens differ from the type and the 

 others from Matoza Harbour in having a much narrower sulcus at the 

 upper part of the whorls, from which circumstance the infrasutural 

 band is broader. The colouring and sculpture are the same. 



2. Terebra gotoensis. (Plate XIX. figs. 1-1 a.) 



Shell subulate, pale brown or fawu- colour, with a white band spotted 

 with brown at the upper part of the whorls, and with a white narrow 

 zone round the middle of the last whorl: volutions 16; the two 

 apical ones white, smooth, subglobose, the rest almost flat, only 

 very faintly constricted towards the upper part, where they are un- 

 equally divided by a transverse shallow groove, longitudinally ribbed 

 and very finely striated, the stricc being inconspicuous to the naked 

 eye and scarcely developed at all on the ribs ; the latter are but 

 little raised, arcuate, and divided at the upper part by the spiral 

 furrow, and number about 24 on the penultimate wliorl ; costie on 

 the last volution obsolete at the periphery : columella white, oblique 

 at the base, straightish at the upper part ; canal short, recurved, 

 oblique. 



Length 25 millims., diameter 5. 



Variety. Shell more slender, similarly sculptured ; spots on infra- 

 sutural band dark brown ; rest of surface purplish brown, variegated 

 with white patches. Length 29 millims.; breadth 4 g. (Fig. la.) 



Hab. Station 1. Var., Japan. 



The brown spots on the white zone at the top of the whorls are 

 somewhat distant from oue another, of a transversely oblong sub- 

 quadrate form. Below these are other less conspicuous spots placed
