Sp. 1. S. fissurella. (pi. viii. f. 64, 65.) Lin. Syst. Nat. 1212. 

 Rostellaria Fissurella, Lam. ? 



T. turrita\ fusiformi, concentrice plicata, spiraliter striata ; aper- 

 tura ovali, postice in carinam canaliculatam ad apicem decurrente, 

 antice canali rostrato; labio exteino crasso, crenulato; labio in- 

 tcrno crasso. 



Turrited, fusiform, concentrically plicated, spirally striated; 

 aperture oval, with a posterior carinated canal running up the 

 spire; outer lip thick, crenulated ; inner lip thick. The colour 

 varies from pale yellow to banded brown. 



India and the Philippines. 



2. S. crispatus. (pi. viii. f. 62, 63.) 



T. turrita, fusiformi, concentrice plicata, spiraliter striata ; 

 apertura ovali, postice in canalem carinatam crispatam desinente, 

 antice canali breviter rostrato; labio externo crasso, crenulato; 

 labio interno crasso; operculo lateraliter serrato. 



Rather more ventricose than S. Fissurella, with the beak 

 shorter, and the posterior canal resting upon the penultimate 

 whorl only, and coiled at the extremity ; the outer edge of the 

 operculum is serrated. Body pale straw colour, with three brown 

 bands across the last whorl, Brought by Mr. Cuming from 

 Luzon, Bureas and Panay, Philippines. 



3. S. Campbelli. (pi. vi. f. 22, 23.) Griffiths Cuvier. Mol- 

 lusca, pi. 25. 



T. sub-fusiformi, ventricosa, laevi ; spira turrita, elongata ; an- 

 fractibus convexiusculis, prope suturam unisulcatis, dorso anfrac- 

 tus ultimi, obtuse unilobato, antice sulcato ; labio externo elevato, 

 expanso, postice inflexo ; sinu parvo. 



Rather fusiform, ventricose, smooth; spire turrited, elongated, 

 whorls rather convex, with a groove near the suture, the last 

 whorl with a very obtuse tubercle on the back, and several grooves 

 near the anterior termination; outer lip elevated, expanded, with 

 an inflected prominence towards the upper part ; sinus small. The 

 colour is pale brown, with interrupted bands of brown. 



4. S. vittatus. (pi. vi. f. 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.) Linn, Syst. 

 Nat. p. 1211. Including S. turritus and S. sulcatus, Lam. and 

 Chemn. 



T. fusiformi- turrita, fulvo-rufescente, albo-fasciatim-maculata ; 

 spira elongata, plicata ; anfractibus angulatis, prope suturam sul- 

 catis, ultimo antice sulcato; labio interno crasso, angusto; labio 

 exteino dilatato, interne sulcato, ad angulum sub-lobato. 



Another fusiform species, of a pale brown colour, nearly covered 

 by interrupted brown bands, the elongated spire is plicated, with 

 a spiral groove near the suture, the body whorl generally smooth, 

 sulcated anteriorly. S. turritus, (f. 27.) Lam. is distinguished
