MRLVILL AND STANDRN : TEREBRA IN THE PERSIAN GUI.F. 211 



Hab. : P.G. and M.C. Locally distributed and nowhere common 

 along the coast. " Persian Gulf," C'ol. Pally in Mus. Brit. 



Of this species we have seen but few specimens. In characters of 

 sculpture some affinity with T. edgarii exists, but it is far more gradu- 

 ally attenuate than that species, and much narrower at the base. 

 Mouth likewise smaller, and colour and general appearance altogether 

 different. The raised band beneath the sutures is conspicuously 

 noduled, and the whole surface closely spirally striate. Length about 

 15 mm.

Hab. : P.O., Henjam Island. M.C, Gwadiir. Charbar, 5 fathoms. 

 I., Karachi. 



Near T. spectabilis Hinds, but the whorls are not so depressed at 

 the sutures, and the ribs are fewer in number. The surface is micro- 

 scopically very finely striate. 



22. — Terebra serotina Adams and Reeve.

Hab. : I., Karachi. 



A moderately sized shell as a rule, though occasionally reaching a 

 length of two inches. Described originally from Japan, ^ and found 

 by Sir E. Belcher, R.N. It has very much the same kind of sculp- 

 ture as the much brighter coloured and larger T. triseriata Gray, 

 alluded to below ; the double row of nodules, the upper being the 

 larger, just below the sutures in each whorl, is similar, but there is 

 not so much decussation, the spiral striae below being very pronounced 

 and uninterrupted. Colour dull brown. 



23. — Terebra severa Melvill. 

 T. severa Melvill, Mem. and Proc. Manchester Lit. and Phil. Soc, 



1897, no. 7, p. 9, pi. vi., fig. 8. 



Hab. : M.C, without precise locality. I., Karachi. 



A small (15 mm.) rudely plaited shell, longitudinal ribs few, spiral 



strong lirae, three in number, noduled at the points of junction with 



the costcC ; apex vitreous, bulbous, nodules on the uppermost whorls 



very strong and pronounced; sutures fairly impressed. Colour greyish- 



I Our remark that the type came from Philippine Islands (Cuming Collection) in Proc. 

 Zool. Soc, 1901, part i, p. 429, was erroneous,
