408 MELVILL AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 
C. spurca L., but the dorsal confluent markings seem charac- 
teristic, and the lateral spotting at once separates it from, 
at all events, typical examples of C. cernica. 
Trivia exigua Gray=T. tremeza Duclos.—Many beautiful 
and fresh examples of this exquisite species, the most 
recherchée perhaps of the smaller Z7/vze. It is recorded 
from the Sandwich Islands, as well as the New Caledonian 
group. 
T. globosa Gray.—Two characteristic specimens. Of wide 
distribution ; we see no difference between the shells 
from the Eastern, as opposed to those from the Western 
Hemisphere. It extends from the West Indies, Sandwich 
Islands, to Australia ; it may almost be deemed cosmo- 
politan within the tropics. It is not, however, very 
commonly found in collections. 
T. grando Gask.—Also recorded from Manila. Apparently 
typical. Several specimens. 
T. pellucidula Gask.—Four examples of what is apparentiy 
this species. 
T. vitrea Gask.—Several specimens ; also recorded from the 
Philippines. 
FAMILY CERITHIDA. 
Triforis carteretensis Hinds. 
plain spiral keels. ‘The British Museum specimens, with 
which ours have been compared, are from New Ireland. 
A plain species with grooved 
T. cinguliferus Pease.—Several specimens. Also from the 
Sandwich Islands. 
T. hilaris Hinds.—A variegated species with close receding 
keels. Several specimens. Also from the Sandwich 
Islands and the Philippines. 
T. obtusalis Jousseaume.—An obese black noduled shell. 
T. ruber Hinds.—Pale violet, not red, as the name would 
suggest. Exceedingly abundant. It also occurs at New 
Ireland, Tahiti, and Isle of Bourbon.
