The shells from the "Siboga" collection, v^hich I assign to B. violacea (Lam.) agrée with 

 the description of the variety celebensis von Martens, but in large séries of spécimens there are 

 shells which bridge over the gaps between the différent varieties, and it is not possible to 

 separate them as distinct varieties or geographical races. 



Distribution : — B. violacea has a wide range round the islands of the Dutch East Indies 

 and is also found round Newr Guinea and the Philippines. 



The "Siboga" shells were collected in the Anchorage off Beo, Karakelang Islands (St. 131).
