N. testa N. Zebra simili, scd solidiorc ; columella magis tumida, 

 epidermide tenui, lineis et fasciis obliquiis varie positis. 



More solid thaniV. Zebra, with the columella more tumid. The 

 black markings are very variously placed. The variety from Coro- 

 mandel (f. 110) has angular spots placed diagonally. In the 

 absence of certain identification, we follow Dr. Philippi, in ap- 

 plying the name to this species.

111. Neritina Cuvierana (pi. cxii. f. 94, 95), Recluz, Eev. 

 Zool., 1841, p. 338. 



N. testa N. Smithii simili, sed apertura majore, anfractibus su- 

 perne elevatis ; columella subcomplanata, rubro marginataj colore 

 griseo maculato et nonnunquam fasciato. 



Differing from N. SmitMi in the largeness of the aperture, the 

 flatness of the red-margined columella, and in the arrangement of 

 colours; it approaches nearer to N. communis, from which it 

 differs principally in the shape of the spire, the upper part of the 

 whorls being depressed close to the suture, and then slightly 

 elevated.

112. Neritina Cumingiana (pi. cxii. f. 115), Recluz, Rev. 

 Zool., 1842, p. 77. 



N. testa N. turritm simili, sed solidiore, longe magis cornea, 

 anfractibus quatuor validis, declivis. 



Resembling N. turrita in the characters which distinguish that 

 species from N. Zebra, and differing from it in being still more 

 conical, having four deep and gradually increasing whorls. The 

 shell is also more solid, and the epidermis thin.

N. testa globoso-subconica, nigra ; spira exsertiuscula, anfrac-

 interno subcomplanato, ad margmem in medio paululum emargi- 

 nato, minute dentato ; labio externo subtus subproducto.
