The spécimens belong to the large form, with rounded last whorl, mentioned by T. 

 CANEFRI (I. c. p. 58) and recorded by V. MARTENS (Le. p. 182, forma /3), the latter author 

 quotes the figure of QuOY and GAIMARD (Voy. Astrolabe, Zool. PL 55, fig. 4 — 6), which I 

 hâve not seen ; the more so I follow this view as the figure quoted by LlNNÉ and afterwards, 

 of GUALTIERI (Test. Conch. Index, PL 6o, fig. E), gives a perfect idea of the spécimens under 

 considération ; the largest spécimen is still much larger than the measurements given by 

 V. MARTENS (length 86, diam. 48 mill,), being 126 mill. long, though the spire is slightly 

 stunted, with a diameter of 63 mill. The last half of last whorl is multi-varicose by many 

 previous peristomes. From T. titan Martin (Samml. des Geol. Reichs-Museums zu Leiden, 

 I e Série, Band IV, 1884 '89, p. 235, PL 26, fig. 1 — 3), it may be distinguished by its smaller 

 size, though according to the numerous peristomes, probably quite adult, by the comparatively 

 much narrower shell, with a rather convex, instead of a concave outline of the spire. The 

 calcareous layer on the body-whorl is rather strong in the largest spécimen, but that character 

 is variable as may be seen in the smaller spécimens, and may dépend on âge.
