34 ZOOLOGY OF THE VOYAGE OF THE SULPHUR. 



anfractibus rotundatis, longitrorsum oblique plico-costatis, superne linea impressa obsolete cinctis; 

 costis subconfertis, interstitiis crebre striatis ; apertura parva., elongata ; labio interno producto. 



Inhab. New Guinea ; in seven fathoms, mud. 



The species is very like an American fossil from Alabama, T. venusta, Lea. 



139. Terebra armillata, Hinds, 1. c. p. 154. Testa, turrito-subulata, acuminata, fusca; an- 

 fractibus planulatis, longitrorsum subdistanter plico-costatis, transversim lineis definitis impressis, 

 superne cingulo noduloso, setate valde notabili; anfractu ultimo subquadrato, ad basin albo fasciato; 

 apertura atro-fusca ; columella contorta. 



Inhab. Abundant in various localities on the west coast of America between 

 Panama and the Bay of Magdalena in Lower California, in from five to thirteen 

 fathoms. It was also found imbedded in the fossiliferous cliffs which surround a 

 portion of the Bay of Magdalena. 



140. Terebra tuberculosa, Hinds, 1. c. p. 155. Testa, turrito-subulata, acuminata, olivacea ; 

 anfractibus planulatis, laevigatis, politis, superne cingulo luberculato, area inferiore triseriatim tuber- 

 culato, seriebus duabus superioribus frequenter subevanidis ; anfractu ultimo subquadrato, unicolore, 

 multiseriatim tuberculato; columella contorta. 



Inhab. Panama, Gulf of Papagayo, and San Bias ; in from four to eleven 

 fathoms. 



141. Terebra speeillata, Hinds, 1. c. p. 155. Testa gracile turrito-subulata, valde acuminata, 

 alba,, rufo sparsini macu lata, et nebulosa; anfractibus subplanulatis longitrorsum subdistanter teuue 

 plico-costatis, transversim laeviter striatis, superne cingulo tuberculato, interstitiis tuberculorum prseci- 

 puepictis; anfractu ultimo fasciato ; apertura parva. ; columella subrecta. 



Inhab. San Bias ; from seven fathoms, sandy mud. 



142. Terebra textilis, Hinds, 1. c. p. 156. Testa turrito-subulata, pallide lutea; anfractibus 

 fere planulatis, longitrorsum plicatis, superne linea punctato-impressa cinctis, serie tuberculorum 

 deinde excisa albida; plicis approximatis, interstitiis striatis; anfractu ultimo parvo, unicolore; 

 columella plicata, labio interno producto. 



Inhab. Straits of Macassar; in- from six to thirteen fathoms, sand and coarse 

 gravel. 



This Asiatic species very closely resembles the American just described, and 

 furnishes another of those instances of affinity, which, whilst still retaining un- 

 questionable distinctness, occur so frequently in the shells of the tropics of the 

 two hemispheres ; and thus whilst both are enriched by similar forms, these pre- 

 sent themselves under slight but constant differences. 



143. Terebra ■penicillata, Hinds, 1. c. p. 157. Test& turrita, obeso-subulata, laevigata, polita, 

 alba lineis undatis runs longitrorsum dispositis; anfractibus integris, ultimo elongato, efasciato; 

 spira obsolete plicata; apertura elongata ; columella lasvi. 



Inhab. Seychelles.
