The shell of D. [L.) cuneata is elongate-trigonal, somewhat cuneate and exhibits a great 

 deal of variation in colour. As Lynge pointed out, shells may be entirely w^hite with just the 

 indications of a fev^ radial rays, or the shells may be dark brown or lilac with rays of a darker 

 shade; in still other cases the shells may be light yellow or dark brown with rays of a pure 

 white colour. 



Distribution : — D. (Z.) cuneata is a widespread species of the Indo-Pacific Régions. 



Two shells of this species of a light brown and two of a dark lilac colour were collected 

 by the "Siboga" Expédition in the Bay of Pidjot, Lombok (St. 33).
