MR. H. IT. BIDLET ON THE 



This sj^ecies belongs to the same group as T. gallinago^ Heeve 

 (Con. Icon. fig. 5), and T. testudinarius, Adams & Reeve, and 

 some others. Although possibly not adult, the single shell at 

 hand is in excellent condition, and affords all the necessary- 

 characters distinctive of the species. The last whorl has two 

 varices, namely the labrum and one on tlie opposite side. The 

 nuclear whorls are broken off ; but, judging from the top of the 

 first normal w^horl, the apex would be comparatively small. The 

 uppermost of thelirse on the columella is rather conspicuous, and, 

 together with the uppermost of those within the labrum, forms a 

 semicircular sinus above. 



18. Teiton pileaeis, Lamarch. 



Hob. West Indies, Eed Sea, Ceylon, Philippine Islands, island 

 of Anna, &c. {Brit. Mus.). 



This, like some other species of Triton, occurs at the West 

 Indies and in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. 



19. Teiton (Epideomus) testaceus, MorcJi. 

 Hah. West Indies {Mdrch). 



This species is very like T. ohsmrtis, Eeeve, but diff'ers in 

 having more convex whorls, a granulated columellar callus, and a 

 narrower labral varix which is also hollowed out behind.

 Hab. West Indies, 



With this species I unite C. clara of Graskoin, with which the 

 specimens from Fernando Noronha agree. This variety is of a 

 longer and more cylindrical form than the type, has only traces 

 of the black dotting around the base, and no purplish stain 

 between the teeth. Sowerby's figure (Thes. Conch, pi. 307. f . 91*), 

 badly copied by Tryon (Man. Conch. vol. vii. pi. 1. f. 8), does not 

 represent the variety clara ; but a fair representation of it is given 

 by Sowerby on pi. 316, figure 222. The colour, however, is not 

 pinkish, and no dotting occurs along the sides in the types de- 

 scribed by Graskoin. 



21. CvPEiEA (Teivia) pediculus, Linne. 

 Hob. West Indies. 



One of the specimens from Fernando Noronha is remarkably 

 small, measuring only 7 millim, in length.
