motis, interstitiis liris tribus inequalibus; strie incrementi

This shell is a good transition between the type and 
Var. 6. LAVIGATA.

Hab. 1. S. Thomee, in coralliis (Heteroporis) sepe una cum 
Stphonio nebuloso (Mus. Cuming et nostro). 
This shell looks so different from the type, that I should not ven- 
ture to put them together if I had not compared numerous specimens, 
in some of which the difference of sculpture and colour were present 
in one and the same individual. The tubes show frequently a deep 
channel at the affixed side, being the cast of a branch of a coral. 
Var. ¢. PHILIPPINENSIS. 
T. crassiuscula, laqueatim contorta; anfr. inferne plani, lateri- 
bus dilatatis, badii vel castanei, superne albescentes punctis 
flavis transversaliter confluentibus ; lire longitudinales nodulis 
minutissimis, aperturam versus evanescentes ; interstitia lirulis 
1 vel 2 inequalibus ; strie@ incrementi regulares, leviter undu- 
late, pulcherrime. 
Diam. aperture 74 m. 
Hab. Ins. Philippin. (Mus. Cuming). 
This shell seems only to differ from the type in its larger calibre 
and in the beauty of the striz of growth.
