 Hab. : Philippine Islands. 



46. — .S. affinis Reeve. Conch. Icon., pi. 17, fig. 62.

The type specimen is lighter in colour than the figure in the 

 Iconica.

The shell figured by Kiister in the 2nd edition of the Conch. Cab., 

 pi. 10, fig. 3, is certainly not multisefosus, but I am unable to identify it.
