I hâve carefully examined the collections of the Tellinidae in the British Muséum 

 (Nat. Hist.), London, and agrée with Melvill & Standen and the more récent suggestion of 

 OosTiNGH that T. marginalis Dillwyn and T. jtibar Hanley are based on only slight variations 

 of T. {T.) virgata. 



Distribution: T. [7\) virgata is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific, and is also known 

 to occur in the Red sea and the Persian Gulf. 



The "Siboga" Expédition collected two shells from the Ambon Reef.

As Smith pointed out T. verrticosa has the same type of sculpture as T. asperrima 

 Hanley, T. pitlcherrima Sowerby and T. semiaspera Deshayes, but the shells of this species 

 are narrower, more triangular and more rostrate. 



Distribution : — 7". ( 7".) verrucosa has been recorded from the Philippines and Tongatabu. 



The "Siboga" Expédition collected two typical shells of the species at the Anchorage 

 off Kampong Kelang, south coast of Manipa Island (St. 184).
