According to Brot, the tornatella of Reeve, supposed 
by him to be identical, is not this species : his b is 
the veritable tornatella of Lea; his a seems the 
sculpta of Souleyet (Zool. Bonite), a near ally.

3. We had proposed the name of Goliah for this 
magnificent species, but as it is evidently identical 
with some smaller specimens which may possibly 
(?) prove the humerosa of Gould, or the infrapicta 
of Martens (so termed in Cuming’s collection), 
we defer the naming of it until the next part 
of our publication.

Figure 6 is drawn from a shell marked by Benson as 
his type ; figure 5 is peculiarly characteristic ; figure 7 
is an elongated variety, from the North of Oude.
