Stat. 64. Kambaragi-bay, Tanali Djampeah. Up to 32 M. Coralsand. i Spec. 



Stat. 71. Makassar. 27 — 32 M. Sand with mud. 3 Spec. 



Stat. 109. Pulu Tongkil, Sulu-Archipelago. 13 M. Lithothamnion-bottom. i Spec.

Stat. 301. Pepela-bay, East coast of Rotti. 22 M. Lithothamnion-bottom. i Spec. 



Stat. 313. East of Uangar-Besar, Saleh-bay. Up to 36 M. Sand and mud. 19 Spec. 



According to the long list of Stations, this species is widely distributed in the Archipelago. 

 The specimens vary in size and in sculpture, some specimens being more angular at the shoulder ; 

 the puncturing, as observed by Reeve, is more or less obvious. 



2. Liotia Peronii Kiener.

Stat. 125. Savvan, Siau-island. Reef. 2 Spec. 

 Stat. 250. Kur. Reef, i Spec. 



The specimens vary still more in size, than those of the preceding species, that from 

 Kur is 19Y3 Mill, and apparently not yet adult. That from Stat. 125 measures scarcely 9 Mill, 

 in its largest diameter. The latter specimen agrees with Kiener's figure, those from Kur with 

 that of Reeve. 



3. Liotia sp. 



Stat. 37. Sailus Ketjil, Paternoster-islands. Up to 27 M. Coralsand. i Spec. 



Stat. 66. Bank between islands of Bahuluwang and Tambolungan, south of Saleyer. 8 M. i Spec. 



Stat. 96. South east side of Pearl-bank, Sulu-archipelago. 15 M. Lithothamnion-bottom. 2 Spec. 



Stat. 240. Banda. 9 — 45 M. Lithothamnion-bottom. i Spec. 



The specimens are very young; they seem to be allied to the preceding species, but differ 

 a. o. by their more raised embryonic whorls, in which character they agree with two specimens of 

 a Liotia, received from the Samoa-islands as L. Herinanni Dkr. Tryon (Man. of Conch. Vol. X) 

 considers this species as a synonym of L. Peronii Kien.. I can only say that the "Siboga" 

 specimens don't agree in their upper whorls with those of L. Peronii from the same collection 



4. Liotia (Areiie) radiata Kiener?

 Stat. 95. 5°43'.5 N., II9°40'E. 522 M. Stony bottom, i Spec. 



It is only with much doubt, that I have identified the young specimens with Kiener's 

 species, which according to E. A. Smith, is identical with L. muricata Reeve, (I.e. fig. 18). 

 Reeve gives as locality for both East Indies and Indian seas, though Humphreys had in his 

 collection L. radiata from the West Indies. Tryon who keeps the two species separated, mentions
