430 FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 



PTEROCERA RUGOSA, Sowerby. 

 Tryon, loc. cit., p. 126, pi. x., fig. 12. 



I saw a living specimen in the hands of another member of our 

 party, and picked up a dead shell on the beach. 



Cuming found this at the Society Islands. New Caledonian 

 examples are contained in this Museum. 



TEREBELLUM SUBULATUM, Lamarck. 

 Tryon, loc. cit , p. 131, pi. xi., figs. 27 - 30. 



Only twice seen, and that in a dead state, on the shore of the 

 Funafuti lagoon. 



Schmeltz records this from Samoa, Fiji, and the Pelews. The 

 Chevert Expedition took it in Torres Straits. Melvill and Standen 

 cite it from Lifu. In this Museum it is from the Bampton Reef 

 and Aneiteum, New Hebrides. I have also taken it at Port 

 Moresby, British New Guinea, and Noumea, New Caledonia.

A small form, only 70 mm. or so in length, was not uncommon 

 alive at low water mark on the reefs in the lagoon. This species 

 was observed in Torres Straits by the "Chevert" Expedition.

 ing Island and Hawaii. Smith reports it from San Christoval, 

 Solomons, Schmeltz from Samoa and the Paumotus, and Melvill 

 and Standen from the Loyalties ; it was taken in Fiji by the 

 "Challenger," and in Torres Straits by the " Chevert" Expeditions.
