Hab. Cargados Garajos, Indian Ocean (coral bottom). 



This very beautiful new species, which we have the pleasure to dedicate to the Com- 

 mander of the Expedition, is remarkable for its bold and characteristic painting. 



2. Turbinella lanceolata. PL VII. Fig. 8. Turb. testa lanceolato-fusiformi, hexagonali, laevi- 

 gata, basin versus rude lirata, anfractibus tuberculis grandibus costeeformibus continuis undique longitu-

Hab. Philippine Islands. 



Distinguished from its nearest ally, T. nodata, in being of a more sharply lanceolate 

 growth, whilst the whorls are less rounded, and the ribs, following continuously one beneath 

 the other, impart a hexagonal form to the shell. The aperture, which in T. nodata is pink, 

 in the present species is of a deep violet.
