1862.] | M.0.A. L. MORCH’S REVIEW OF THE VERMETID&. 73 
Hab. Ins. Philippin (Mus. Cuming). A rolled group, composed 
of about fifteen specimens, in some of which the aperture forms a 
very short tube. 
Var. €. LEVIUSCULA. 
T. solitaria, crassa, spiraliter torta; anfr. duobus contiguis, latere 
externo angulato ; anfr. ultimus angustus, longus, teres, leviter 
flecus ; lamine incrementi appresse, irregulares, localiter valde 
arcuatim reducte ; color badius vel castaneus, variegatus : lire 
longitudinales desunt, si excipias vestigium obsoletum in anfr. 
primo. 
Diam. aperture cire. 10 m. 
Tubuli vermium perpulchri, Pp. Seba, t. 93. f. 9 (optime). 
Le Tuyau trompette, Favanne, i. p. 596. 
Hab. In India orientali (Mus. Spengler). 
This specimen has narrower whorls than any of the preceding 
varieties. It has evidently grown in the cleft of some Astrea, show- 
ing just the same impressions as represented by Seba, and which 
Guettard (Mém. p. 153) has mentioned as “le réseau.” The strize 
of growth are very strongly bent backwards in the places where the 
shell has been pressed by the coral. 
13. THytacopes? rmsricatus, Dkr. 
T.. solidiuscula, antice subrecta et libera, vel toto ventris latere 
incumbens, pallide fusca, striis costisque longitudinalibus sub- 
imbricatis instincta (Dkr.). 
Vermetus imbricatus, Dkr. Mal. Blatt. Jan. 1860, p- 240. no. 59; 
Dkr. Moll. Japon. 1861, p. 17. no. 80, t. 11. f. 18, 
Hab. Japonia, Dr. Nuhn (Mus. Heidelb.). 
Duo specimina extant ad basaniten paullo porosum affixa. Testa 
eorum solidiuscula, turbinata, altera antice suberecta et libera, altera 
toto ventris latere incumbens et lapidi adnata. Utrumque specimen 
maximam partem decoloratum est et erosum, sed alterum eorum 
aperturam versus omnino illzsum, colore fusco costisque longitudi- 
nalibus imbricatis instructum, qua nota a V. gigante, Biv., differre 
videtur, quem nunquam imbricatum invenimus, quamvis mirum in 
modum variare soleat ut omnes ejus generis species. Tubus plane 
teres, intus leevigatus et czeruleo-lacteus. Pars testze in lapide insi- 
dens irregularis et subtrigona est ut Vermetus gigas. 
This species is perhaps a Siphonium. 
14, THyLAcoDEs scaBER, Gravenh., 1831. 
T. irregulariter spirali, tuberculis parvis in lineas longitudinales 
dispositis, scabra (Gravenh.). 
Diam. aperture 4 lin. (Gravenh.). 
T. irregulariter planorbiformis ; anfr. primi repentes, laqueatin 
contorti ; anfr. teretes, liris longitudinalibus expressis planius- 
eulis nodulis elongatis postice contractis unde leviter undulatis; 
interstitiis angustis lirula intercalante ; lire incrementi parvi, 
ruge transverse sepe valida, irregulares; latere affixo inequali
