This, the most gracefully attenuate of all the Terebrce, zx\^ some- 

 times attaining a length of over four inches (in the var. prcBlonga 

 Desh., vide Reeve, pi. viii., fig. 28), is never tound very commonly, 

 though evidently widely distributed, extending from Indian Seas to 

 Australia, and northward to the Philippine Isles. A specimen in the 

 collection of J. CM. has thirty-eight whorls, tapering gradually to a 

 point, and this is by no means an exceedingly large example. The 

 colour is bright ochreous, or fulvous-orange, whorls narrow, granuled 

 and noduled decussately, with two rows of nodules above \ the aper- 

 ture is very small, columella tortuous.
