Dillwyn's spécifie name ornata lias priority over the Lamarckian picta. It may also be 

 noted hère that the Lamarckian ornata ^) is not the same as the présent species. 



L. ornata is a very variable species, and spécimens even from the same locality exhibit 

 différences in outline and colour of the shells. The "Siboga" shells agrée in gênerai with the 

 Philippine shells in the British Muséum Collection. 



Distribution : — L. ornata has a wide range in the Indo-Pacific Région. A detailed list 

 of its records was published by Lynge. 



In the "Siboga" collection it is represented from near reef of Batjulmati, Java (St. 7), 

 Bay of Pidjot, Lombok (St. 33), Sailus Ketjil, Paternoster Islands (St. 37), Bay of Bima (St. 47), 

 Bay of Badjo, west coast of Flores (St. 50), Kambaragi bay, Tanah Djampeah (St. 64), Bank 

 between the Islands of Bahuluwang and Tambolungan, South of Saleyer (St. 66), Kulewatti Bay, 

 Dammer Island (St. 277), Buka Bay, south coast of Rotti Island (St. 299), Pepela Bay, east 

 coast of Rotti Island (St. 301), Sapeh Bay, east coast of Sumbav^a (St. 311) and Anchorage east 

 of Dangar Besar, Saleh Bay (St. 313). 



3. Lioconcha sp. 



There is also a single right valve of a species of the genus Lioconcha collected in the 

 Bay of Pidjot. Lombok. This shell is rather v^^orn and it is not possible to be absolutely certain, 

 but it appears to be a shell of L. tigrina (Lamarck ") ).
