1861.] M. O. A. L. MORCh's REVIEW OF THE VERMETID^. 171 



V. costalis, Chenu, pi. 3. f. 1 a, quoad sculpturam ; Humph, t. 10. 

 f. 5, quoad formam. 



Hab. Ins. Philippin. {Cuming). 



Three specimens affixed to the branches of a furcate coral, not 

 unlike Trymohelia eburnea in shape, but very likely allied to Lepta- 

 strcea. 



This species is not quite without doubt distinct from V. himbricalis. 

 The V. i7idicus (Rous. t. 3. f. 2 b) seems to be a transition. The 

 spire of var. /3 is entirely different from that of fig. 1 in Chenu, but 

 agrees with that of V, lumbricalis, var. 



25. Vermicxjlxts solarintjs, Morch. 



T. solidissima, alba, strigis transversis pallide aurantiis in inter- 

 sectio7iibus costarum saturatioribus ; anfr. laxi, subquadrangu- 

 lares, latere externa rectangulato, carinis tribus cequidistantibus 

 crenulatis ; interstitia /undo Icevi nitido, longitudinaliter liru- 

 lata, liris duabus validis obsolete nodulosis ; latere interna semi- 

 tereti, conferte grasse-lirato, interstitiis prafundis hie illic 

 lirida intercalante ; lircB incrementi regulariter subremotce, in- 

 tersectianibiis lirarum incrassatce, unde superficie rudi ; aper- 

 tura latere externa rectangulato, interna arcuato. 



Long, fere 27 dm. ; diam. ap. 9-10 m. 



Spira turritelloidea, nitida, alba, bast plana, concaviuscula, carina 

 prominente marginata, superne carina acuta approximata ; anfr. 

 angula inframediano carina acuta munito, inferne lirida suturali 

 suboccidta. 

 Long, fere 6 m. 



Hab. Ins. Philippin. {Cuming). One specimen. 

 The first whorls are planorbiform. The spire is very like that of 

 Turrit ella carinifera. Lam., and agrees in this respect with the vars. S 

 and S B, of the following species. 



26. Vermiculus lumbricalts, L. 



" T. quasi cornea, teres sen versus apicem obsolete angulata, sensim 

 angustior." L. Mus. L. Ulr. 689. no. 431. 



Serpula lumbricalis, Linn. S. N. x. p. 787, no. 698 ; xii. p. 1206, 

 no. 801. 



Professor Liljeborg of Upsal has favoured me with a drawing of 

 the original specimen in the Museum of the Queen. I do not know 

 any figure corresponding exactly with it, except perhaps V. indicus, 

 Chenu, 111. t. 3. f. 2 a. It agrees very well with the var. a in size 

 and form ; but the keels are not continued to the mouth, and the lon- 

 gitudinal grooves, rather strong between the keels, are not represented 

 in the drawing. 



Var. a. diaphana. 



T. tenuis, diaphana, dilute castanea ; anfr. laxe contarti, inferne 

 carinis duabus leviter crenatis, maeidis vel punctis absaletis 

 albis et castanets, interstitio plana vel leviter excavata, liris
