42 PROCEEDINGS OF THE MALACOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 



81. Terebea c^rulescens, Lam. Abundant, well marked, and 

 widely distributed. 



82. Teeebra chlorata, Lam. {= T. Knorri, Gray). Handsome, but 

 frequent. Common in Mauritius, Lifu, Malacca, etc. 



83. Terebra cancellata, Quoy. 



84. Terebra confusa, E. A. Smith {= T. acicidina, Reeve, pars, 

 non Lam.). Specimens from Singapore are in the British Museum 

 (Natural History). 



85. Terebra ceentjlata, L , var. Booleti, n.var. (PI. Ill, Fig. 5). 

 A very beautiful variety. of this shell we had at first imagined to be 

 new. Warm fawn-colour, upon a flesh-coloured ground, its markings 

 are in longitudinal dashes and flames, irregularly disposed. But little 

 trace of crenulation is observable, the lower whorls being quite smooth, 

 though painted in a tessellate fashion between the sutural bands. 

 The upper whorls, however, are sliglitly noduled. 



86. Terebra celidonota,^ n.sp. PL III, Pig. 2. 



T. testa parva, nitida, multum attenuata, perlsevi, omnino Candida, 

 anfractibus 12-13, aliquid gradatulis, quorum apicalibus quatuor, 

 vitreis, tumidulis, Isevibus, rufotinctis, cseteris albidis leniter longi- 

 tudinaliter plicato - costulatis, transversim, pauUum infra suturas, 

 unisulculoso, sulculo punctate, ultimo anfractu dorsaliter una macula 

 rufa solum decorate, apertura ovata, labro tenui, simplici. Long. 15, 

 lat. 3 mm. 



A small, shining, smooth, snowy- white species, conspicuous for 

 a rufous-brown dorsal blotch on the last whorl. We have seen three 

 specimens, all precisely similar. The whorls are slightly gradate, 

 twelve or thirteen in number, with light longitudinal costfe, and 

 a little below the sutures a spiral sulculus, dotted. It comes in 

 the same section of the genus as T. tenera, Hinds, T. nitida, Hinds, 

 T. tantilla, Smith, etc., but is quite distinct from all, as also from 

 any of the numerous varieties of T. hastata, Gmelin. 



87. Terebra cingulifera, Lam. A variable shell, with many 

 synonyms, and of wide range. Our specimens are very large. The 

 form T. Icevigata, Gray, also occurs. 



88. Terebra Heshatesii, Reeve. A handsome dark flesh -red 

 coloured variety. We can always differentiate this from T. Babylonia, 

 Lam., with which, however, Mr. Tryon elects to place it. 



89. Terebra lanceata, L. A fine example of this well-known 

 form. 



90. Terebra mokilts, Quoy & Gaim. Always to be recognized by 

 the white nodules below the sutures. 



91. Terebra MYURos, Lam. 



92. Terebra poltgyrata, Desh. A small species, reported hitherto 

 from Japan and the Philippines.
