Unfortunately these last are not quite adult; apparently the 
sculpture of this species at the Andamans is most variable. 
Some have the characteristic, longitudinal, undulating furrows 
of L. granocostata,

12 Hongkong; coll. R. Hungerford, Esq. 
Long. 10, diam. 8 mil. Very variable as regards sculpture, 
sometimes only spirally striate, occasionally more or less dis- 
tinctly granulose; it can always be easily distinguished from 
L. ventricosa, which lives with it, by being always angulate at the 
base of the aperture, instead of rounded. It is a larger, coarser 
variety than the Ceylon form, and may be specifically distinct ; 
it can be easily distinguished by the more regular spiral sculp- 
ture and its sombre coloration, wanting the characteristic 
black and white “ filleted” bands [as seen also in Philippi’s fig. 
of L. leucosticta]; it is as much like Philippi’s figure of L. 
subnodosa as that he gives of L. nodosa, Gray. Reeve’s 
fig. 18 of L. nodosa fairly represents some of the Hongkong 
specimens. 
var. fijiensis.

2 Tahiti; coll, H. Pease, Esq. [sent as “ L. fijiensis ”]. 
Undoubtedly, I think, not specifically separable from the pre- 
ceding. It can scarcely be the L. vitensis of Dunker, Malac, 
Blat, 1871, Fiji Isl., long. 10, diam. 7 mil. ?
