62 M. o. A. L. morch's review of the vermetid^, [Feb, 11, 



Diam. aperturse 9^ m. ; anfr. vel 12m. in latere affixo ; diam. 

 max. testse 45 m. 



Hab. Ad ins. Philippin. ; specimen cum fragmento PinncB in- 

 curves ? extat in Museo Cumingiano. 



The whorls in the centre remind one of those of var. /3. It looks 

 at first glance entirely different ; but it is evidently the same form 

 as var. i, only larger and more regularly grovra. 



Var. X. PUNCTATA. 



T. lituiformis, crassa, inferne planissima, affixa, swperne convexa, 

 latere externo prcecipitanter declivi ; lirce longitudinales re- 

 motes, expresses, nodulis ohsoletis irregularibus, interstitiis scepe 

 lirula intercalante ; rugcB incrementi expresses, leviter arcuate ; 

 inde confuse reticulato-scrohiculata ; color albescens vel fusce- 

 scens, punctis ferrugineis et lapillis agglutinatis adspersa ; 

 apertura circularis, contract a, soluta. 



Diam. testse 35-55 m. ; diam. aperturse 7|^m. ; anfr. ult. 11m. 



Serpula costalis, Chenu, 111. pi. 10. f. 6, simillima.

The specimen shows on ttie 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. Q. tri- 

 quetra. 



■ Var. [I. VARIEGATA. 



T. crassa, spiraliter torta ; anfr. obliqui, incumbentes ; latere 

 externo dilatato ; liree longitudinales obsolete, rugis incrementi 

 scepe incrassatis et continuis decussates ; inde fere ubique con- 

 fuse reticulato-scrobiculata vel malleata; anfr. ultimus solutus, 

 longus, tortus, erectus ; color albescens, prcesertim in lateribus, 

 fascia mediana lata castanea e lineis longitudinalibus confluent 

 tibus composita, lacteo variegata, lineis ferrugineis aperturam 

 versus remotis.

This variety approaches in colour the var, k. fulgurata.
