62 M.0.A.L. MORCH’S REVIEW OF THE VERMETID&. [Feb. 11, 
Diam. aperture 94 m.; anfr. vel 12 m. in latere affixo; diam. 
max. teste 45 m. 
Hab. Ad ins. Philippin.; specimen cum fragmento Pinne in- 
curve ? extat in Museo Cumingiano. 
_ The whorls in the centre remind one of those of var. 8. It looks 
at first glance entirely different ; but it is evidently the same form 
as var. «, only larger and more regularly grown. 
Var. X\. PUNCTATA. 
T. lituiformis, crassa, inferne planissima, affixa, superne convexa, 
latere externo precipitanter declivi; lire longitudinales re- 
mote, expresse, nodulis obsoletis irregularibus, interstitus sepe 
lirula intercalante ; ruge incrementi expresse, leviter arcuate ; 
inde confuse reticulato-scrobiculata ; color albescens vel fusce- 
scens, punctis ferrugineis et lapillis agglutinatis adspersa ; 
apertura circularis, contracta, soluta. 
Diam. teste 35-55 m.; diam. aperture 74 m.; anfr. ult. 11] m. 
Serpula costalis, Chenu, Ill. pl. 10. f. 6, simillima. 
Hab. Ad ins. Philippin. (Mus. Cuming). 
The specimen shows on the underside the cast of the denudated 
layers of a pearl-oyster. It differs chiefly from the figure quoted in 
having all the whorls in one plane, and consequently | having a very 
large umbilicus, which is open in the middle, the first few whorls 
being lost. This variety approaches in many respects to var. 0. é77- 
quetra. 
Var. p. VARIEGATA. 
T. crassa, spiraliter torta; anfr. obliqui, incumbentes ; latere 
externo dilatato ; lire longitudinales obsolete, rugis incrementi 
sepe incrassatis et continuis decussate ; inde fere ubique con- 
Suse reticulato-scrobiculata vel malleata; anfr. ultimus solutus, 
longus, tortus, erectus ; color albescens, presertim in lateribus, 
fascia mediana lata castanea e lineis longitudinalibus confluen- 
tibus composita, lacteo variegata, lineis ferrugineis aperturam 
versus remotis. 
Diam. aperture 6 m. 
Rumph. Amboina, t. 41. f. H, non absimilis. 
Hab. Ad ins. Philippin. (Mus. Cuming) ; specimen in lapide af. 
fixum. 
This variety approaches in colour the var. x. fulgurata. 
_ Var. v. FLOS-LACTIS. 
T. crassiuscula, irregulariter torta; anfr.contigui vel incumbentes ; 
lire longitudinales obsolete vel nodulis acutiusculis ornate ; 
ruge inerementi crassiuscule, irregulares, sepe confluentes ; 
latere externo fascia lata fusca vel castanea variegata, latere 
superiore fascia lata lactea vel pallide cyanea ; anfr. primi i fia- 
vescentes, leviusculi. 
Diam. aperture 7 m., speciminis minoris 3 m. 
Hab. Adins. Philippin. (H. Cuming), in Cerithio noduloso affixa.
