THE
PROSOBRANCHIA OF THE SIBOGA EXPEDITION
PART II
TAENIOGLOSSA and PTENOGLOSSA
PART II
TAENIOGLOSSA and PTENOGLOSSA
This part contains the enumeration of about 340 species, of which 39 have been described as new to science, moreover a few varieties have been described and partly figured. By comparing these numbers to those of the first part, it is evident that this first part was more interesting, the groups now under consideration not being composed of so many deep water forms, and it is amongst those, as might be expected, that the most interesting species are to be found, as for instance in the genera Morio, Oocorys, Segaenzia.
I have to thank again Mr. E. A. Smith for his assistance in comparing doubtful species also Messrs. J. Cosmo Melvill, Pii. Dautzenberg, E. R. Sykes and others, for assistance, loan of specimens or litterature.
I must repair a few errata in the first part, which I discovered in returning the materials : p. 10. var. strigillata belongs to N. turrita not to variegata.
p. 13. the Ncritilidac must follow after Septaria, which belongs to the Neritidae. p. 71. for Euchchts iutricatus Gould read Etich. instrictus.

Kesteven (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. South Wales, 1902, p. 476) says that according to Hanley, (Ipsa Linnaei Conchylia, p. 2871 the name pilearis should be applied to the Mediterranean Triton corrugatus Lam., and that tin- species under consideration should bear the name aquatilis Reeve, uniting it. in accordance with Tryon etc. with aquatilis. As Linné says: "Habitat in M. Mediterraneo", this view may be in so far right. But Troschel (Gebiss der Schnecken I, p. 234) d small differences in the radulae of Simpulum pilearis Liri. (1. c. PI. 20, fig. 3) and iquatile Reeve d.c. PI. 20, fig. 4) so I have left the name pilearis to the species generally known under this nomination.

The specimens from Lamakera and Bima are quite typical, corresponding to Reeve's figures 60a and b. That from Banda is yellowish, with a few brown bands, calling in mind some varieties of the preceding species, but there the dark colour occupies the interstices of the spiral lirae, whereas in the specimen of gemmatus the dark colour runs over the lirae. In sculpture I see no difference with the other specimens.

The only specimen is still young, but perfectly agrees in sculpture with the upper whorls of an adult specimen from the Philippines. Tryon considers it to be the same as T. lotorium Lin., he says: "the distinctive characters are individual only". As far as I can judge, I think the differences of sculpture are sufficiënt to separate them specifically. The young shell is covered by a thin epidermis with long bristles on the radiating ribs and varices.

The specimens from Stat. 116 and 285 are young and have a somewhat misleading appearance, by the closer sculpture. Ilowever the species is very variable in this respect, and these specimens are connected t<> more typical ones by intermediate forms, I. i. those from Stat. 313. Tryon says on this. subject (1. c. p. 43): "The tubercles are numerüiis on the earlier whorls, bnt in some instances) coallesce into two large ones between the varices on tlie last whorl of the adult. When the more numerous tubcrcles are persistent, the resemblance to the R. tuberculata) is striking".

The specimen from Stat. 315 is young, but agrees sufficiently with the other specimens to be identified. The long and slender radula, has the teeth in about 108 transverse rows. The rhachidian tooth (R) has a subquadrangular body with the sides strongly excavated in the posterior half, posterior margin much shorter than the anterior one ; the cusp has 5 denticles, of which the median one is the largest; the lateral tooth (1) has an oblong shape with a large denticle on the proximal side of the cusp and three smaller distal ones; the uncini (U) are hooked, slender, the first one with a small denticle on the proximal side, only visible by the transparency of the teeth. The construction of the radula, proves that Dall, in his paper (An historical and systematic review of the Frog-shells and Tritons; Smiths, Miscell. Coll. Vol. 47, 1905, p. 114 — 144) is right in calling the species united as Gyriiiauit, the nearest allies of Aquillus. He mentions only the radula of Ranella (Apollon) argus Lam., described by Troschel, (Gebiss der Schnecken, Vol. I, pi. 20, iïg. 11) which is conchologically a somewhat peculiar species; really the radula now under consideration, shows more resemblance to those of Tritonium femorata Lin. (1. c. fig. 2) and of T. pilcarc Rve (1. c. fig. 3), the most typical difference being the narrow posterior basal margin.

1 Inly one broken shell, which agrees in every respect with my specimen from Torres- strait. Tryon lias only mentioned it in his register, as a synonym of G. perca, but not in his systematic enumeration. Boog Watson in his " Challenger"-Gastropods, has mentioned it (p. 402) also as a synonym. E. A. Smitii (1. c.) and Brazier have separated it, I think on sufficiënt groufids. Indeed, if one compares the shells, they are very different; with the same number of whorls, the shell is still much smaller, than the var. aculeata of the preceding species, and has the tubercles on the whorls still more numerous, the varices are impressedly striate, not ribbed, with broad interstices, as in G. perca.

The specimen from Stat. 50 is white, with a few brown spots and a yellow margin of the aperture, but agrees in other respects. I must doubt if the figures of the Conchylien-Cabinet really belong to this species, notwithstanding the statement that they had been erroneously united to B. albivaricosa. I think the canal resembles much more in shape that of Bursa rana (albivaricosa) than that of B. margaritula, which is much shorter and in the back view is directed to the left.

'lobosely ovate, moderately ventricose, rather strong, white under a yellowish
epidermis; whorls about 5 , (nucleus ones worn) convex, with a distinct suture and with strong
of which there are six on the penultimate whorl; 22 on the last one, including the
eparated l>y interstices, with a few exceptions about as broad as the
themselves, the uppermost liration borders the suture and is separated from the second
by a broader concave interstice, giving it a channellike appearance; the interstices and in
ree the lirae, are crossed by radiating striae, which are coarser on the upper whorls.
Aperture oblong-ovate, angular above, ending in a broad canal directed towards the left,
columellar margin with a rather strong layer of enamel, spread over the bodywhorl; it is
grooved by the lirae and covered with microscopic granules-, columella rounded, curved, strongly
bent to the left along the canal; right margin nearly regularly curved, with an angle, corres-
ponding to the second lira, and with an external rib, expanded and grooved interiorly; these
grooves extend in the interior of the shell, which is porcellaneous.

This species is less globose than O. sulcata Fischer (Journ. Conch. 1883, p. 392) with fewer lirae (6 in the penultimate whorl, instead of 8 to 12) the radiating striae seem to be much weaker than in sulcata, at least than in the "Challenger" specimen, where the interstices are much broader (Boo<; Watson: "Challenger" Gastropoda, PI. 17, fig. 11). In Benthodolium (= Oocorys) abyssorum Yerrill (Transact. Connecticut Acad. Vol. VI, 1882 — 85, p. 177, PI. 31, fig. 1 2 i the spire is much higher if compared with the aperture, the lirae are much more numerous, and the interspaces much broader, the canal much straighter. It appears rather doubtful to me, that these specimens should belong to the same species, unless it be exces- si vel y variable. 1 think the differences enumerated above, will be sufficiënt to separate shells of such a remote provenience.

haracters to separate it from the atlantic species, described by FlSCHER, it agrees
far as may be judged from the description and Fischer's figure, which is
12 I
only a woodcut; the small differences may be individual; the number of spiral lirae described by the author, as being from 8 — 12, are at least 12, perhaps 13; the most striking difference, the simple peristome, is probably valueless, as it depends without doubt on age. E. A. Smith (Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist. Ser. 7, Vol. 17, 1906, p. 170) mentions a specimen under the name of var. indica, with the locality "off S. of Ceylon, 191 2 fath." which cannot be separated specifically from the species under consideration.

Stat. 221. 6°24'S., I24°39'E. Banda Sea. 2798 M. Solid, bluish-grey mud with Foraminifera. 2 Spec.
Shell elongately-ovate, rather strong, white under a yellowish epidermis; spire rather high; whorls 5, (nucleus wanting) convex, with an impressed suture and strong spiral lirae, 10 to 12 on the penultimate whorl, from 25 to 32 on the last one, they are separated by inter- stices which are in most cases broader than the lirae; the whole shell (lirae and interstices) is crossed by radiating striae. Aperture oblong-ovate, angular above, ending below in a very short, wide canal, slightly directed towards the left, columellar margin covered by a layer of enamel spread over the bodywhorl, it is grooved by the lirae and microscopically granular, columella rounded, slightly curved, strongly bent to the left, along the canal; right margin regularly curved, slightly expanded but not ribbed exteriorly, thickened and grooved interiorly; aperture porcellaneous. A small umbilical slit, may disappear with age.
Operculum typical, reddish-yellow, with a shallow groove at the right margin.
Alt. 2,-^1^ lat. 221/.,; apert. alt. 21 (incl. perist.) lat. n1/,.
This species di fiers from O. sulcata, in being much more elongate, with a higher spire, the aperture being about i1/., X as long as the spire, being nearly 2 X as long in O. sulcata, even the more elongate figure of the "Challenger" specimen, is still shorter, and has also a shorter spire in proportion. Benthodolium abyssorum Verrill, which agrees in this respect, is a much more ventricose shell, with much broader aperture. The two specimens vary in sculpture as stated above, that of the smallest specimen being considerably finer; the upper whorls of this specimen are strongly eroded and the last whorl seems to have been broken, at least at some distance from the thin margin an irregular varix makes its appearance, and the umbilicus is more open. I think however these differences between the two specimens, will prove to be individual and in part accidental.

1 cannot agree with Tryon's opinion, that this and the preceding species are only varieties of C. saburon Adans., the species now under consideration, ma)- be easilv distinguished by its last whorl, which is smooth, with exception of the grooves at the upper and basal parts, instead of being spirally striate as in C. pila and saburon, which may on their turn be distinguished from each other, by the lower part of the columella, which is closcly plicated in C. pila, as K ster (1. c.) has observed, moreover by closer striae on the bodywhorl of that species.

Shell globosely-ovate, ventricose, with a raised, conical spire; white, with a yellowish epidermis; whorls about ó1/», the upper part of the smooth nucleus wanting, the whorls are convex, separated by a deep suture, spirally striate and lirate, the upper ones moreover with obtuse ribs; on the lower whorls the infrasutural liration is strong, divided by a groove, more below the lirae are still stronger and granulose, and number from one on the fourth whorl, to two and three on the penultimate one; these 3 principal lirae are persisting on the last whorl, where they bear about 30 granules, and are succeeded towards the front part of that whorl, by eight granulose lirae, which become however weaker in approaching that iront part and are finally succeeded by about 12 nearly smooth lirae; the 3 principal lirae are divided by 2 grooves, and a few of the other ones by a single groove, moreover many of the interstices are provided with much smaller lirae, from one to three in number in each interstice; the whole shell is crossed by conspicuous growth-lines. Aperture oblong-ovate, angular above, terminating anteriorly in a short, slightly recurved canal ; columellar margin callous, with rugose plicae, corresponding to the lirae, columella rounded, nearly straight, obliquely truncated, its left margin slightly expanded, leaving only a scarcely visible umbilical slit; outer margin thickened, riblike

The very young specimen from Stat. 2S2 is of doubtful identification, the specimens from the Stations 93, 225 and Amboina are conchologically intermediate between the type and var. ovutn Gmel., they have the large brown spot on the back, hut not those near the anterior canal, the shape of the aperture however is in accordance with that of the type.

The suggestion of Mr. J. Brazier, that this species should live in deep water, has not been confirmed by the collection of the Siboga-Expedition. The specimens vary considerably in colour-pattern, that from Stat. 77 is much bleached, those from Stat. 99 have a broad brown band in the centre of the back, bordered by narrow zones of a light colour and a few spiral rows of brown blotches. A very young specimen from that locality, with scarcely any traces of teeth, is uniformly brown on the back, whitish near the produced spire and along the right margin of the aperture; those from Stat. 109 have but a few brown blotches near the dark central band (broken up in one specimen), that from Stat. 1 64 has only a single indistinct band ; the specimens from Stat. 3 1 3 are very similar ; these differences seem to be only individual, I have failed to recognize one of the described varieties amongst them.

I have foliowed the quoted authors in occupying the name flavcola Lin. for this shell ; Weinkauff (Mon. Cypraea, p. 103) says that it should be only a variety of C. gangrenosa, and that the true C.

Though I must admit that the characters of the radnla are often insufficiënt to decide
upon the specific value of species, the differences between the radula of the species under
consideration and the preceding one, seem to be of too much importance, to consider them
as varieties "I" one and the same species. It would be interesting to examine the radulae of
mens which conchologically are intermediate, aml to make out, to which of the two forms
the nearest allies.

In the original description SoWERBY says : "sulco dorsali nullo ant inconspicuo"; TRYON has located tin- species in his section without dorsal impression. In consequence I cannot agree with tin- view that Cypraea pilitla Kiener should be a synonym; KlENER says that the dorsal impression is rather deep in his species. WEINKAUFF (Conch. Cab. lul. 11, Cypraea, p. 1501 says also, dealing with C. pilula: "linea dorsali impressa" and adds in a footnöte that the lithographer
forgotten it in the figure. The Siboga-specimen has a very shallow impression, much less
picuous than the specimen of the former species.

Shell ovate, moderately inflate, white, pellucid, right margin thickened, extremities slightly produced, especially the anterior one, with rather numerous ribs, of which the majority runs from one side to the other and a few intermediate ones, no dorsal sulcus. Aperture rather wide, especially tovvards the front, slightly arcuate, its right margin but little inflected, thickened exteriorly, strongly crenulated by the ribs, which form from 1 8 to 21 teeth ; anterior sinus wide, posterior one narrower by a crenulated callus, columellar margin not thickened, with about 20 teeth, the interstices of the ribs of both the right and columellar margin granulous, the inter- stices on the back smooth.
Long. 7, lat. 5, alt. 4 Mill.
The species resembles amongst the white ones without dorsal impression, in some respects T. pellucidiila Gaskoin, which has however much more and finer ribs. One of the specimens from Stat. 105 contains the soft parts and may serve as a proof that the species lives at the recorded great depth.
6. Trivia pcmcicostata n. sp. PI. XI. fig. 2.
Stat. 95. 5°43'.5 N., ii9°4o'E. Sulu Sea. 522 M. Stony bottom. 3 Spec.
Shell shortly ovate, swollen, greyish-white (perhaps flesh-coloured in life), with few strong ribs and rather wide, smooth interstices, considerably broader than the ribs; no dorsal impression, the majority of the ribs runs from one side to the other, with a few intermediate ones which don't reach the centre. Aperture rather wide, running on the right side of the ventral face, slightly wider at the anterior end. Right margin relatively thin, with a thickened rib exteriorly and only 13 teeth, columellar margin with about 14 teeth, slightly excavated interiorly, front sinus large, posterior one narrower, with a small callosity on the left side, anterior end slighty rostrate or produced ; interstices of the ribs on the apertural margins granose.
Long. S1/., lat. 63/4, alt. 5 7, Mill.
This and the next species resemble some of the South-African species by their aperture, which lies on the right side of the base, and is larger than usually in Trivia. In sculpture, but not in shape, it resembles T. Bitttoni Melv. (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. Ser. 7, Vol. VI, 1900, p. 209) this species is however more regularly ovate in outline, the dorsal view of the new species being subtrigonal, in consequence of the blunt posterior part, in Buttoni the aperture is much narrower and is situated more centrally.

from Stat. 95 are stil] smaller, being only 7'/, MUI. in length, but agree jn m ts, in sculpture with the type, however the ribs are slightly coarser, the teeth of
the right margin less numerous (15 and 17), the other specimens and that from Stat. 315 are a doubtful, as they are still considerably smaller, length only 6 MUL, the aperture is not so and the right margin thicker-, as they are dead shells, I prefer to keep them under one name with the variety, instead of describing a new species on a few gradual dirferences. This species with its variety, differs from the former one, by its much more numerous ribs with numerous intermediate ones, the larger number of teeth and inflated shape.

I think Tryox is right in uniting A. semistriatum with this species. Indeed I have never seen fresh specimens of A. lactcicm, without more or less impressed striae at both extremities of the shell.

The specimens are very small, that from Stat. 285 measures only 8 Mill. in length, that from Stat. 98, which is the largest, 11 Mill.; this latter specimen, which may have been washed down to that considerable depth, is bleached and shows only traces of striae on both extremities, which are more distinct on the two other specimens; this latter character reminds A. ealedoniciim Crosse, but that species has been described as "striated", without the restriction that this should only be at the extremities. Now of the specimens under consideration, that from Stat. 98 is nearly quite smooth, with only a few striae at the posterior extremity and perhaps one or two at the anterior one, that from Stat. 285 has anterior and posterior striae and is smooth at the central part of the back, and that from Stat. 2 has also a few indistinct striae on the back, but it is not decussated, as it should be in A. ealedonicum, nor can I detect brown spots on the back, for the spots I see on the last-named specimen, seem to be accidental.

Shell small, pyriform, strongly angular on the back, the extremities elongate, thin, transparent white, with rose-coloured, irregular spots, arranged in three bands, one near the spire, one near the centre before the angle, the third near the anterior part, moreover the extremities are rosetinted. Sculpture consisting of rather broad, waved, impressed striae, which are shallow, but at least half as broad as the lirae, they are crossed by fïne growth-striae, which are partly ^tnmger, so as to render the surface here and there cancellated; the angle is placed on the posterior half, the shell is rapidly contracted towards the posterior part, regularly contracted towards the anterior part. Aperture narrow, angular, with a short canal at both extremities; outer margin thickened, with numerous fine teeth on the front part, much stronger towards the spire, where they cross the thickened margin and render it crenulate on its external margin, 3 visible in the dorsal view; columellar margin with a crenulate callus behind, a fold borders the front canal. this margin is excavated internally; a thin layer of enamel covers the columellar of the shell.
Long. 83 „ lat. 5 Mill.
This species is nearly allied to A. concinnum, but differing in many particulars, the shell

The three specimens are slightly different from each other, the smallest agrees with the original description, being small and white, however with orange-coloured extremities (perhaps Sowerby's specimen was a bleached one), the other adult one is larger but agrees with the descriptions of Reeve and Weinkauff, the thircl is a young shell, with a thin right margin ; its colour is white on the ventral side, light orange-red on the back, with 3 white bands; perhaps this depends on age. I can see no reason to distinguish this juvenile specimen by a new name, only on partly different colour.

The specimen from Stat. 310 is still very young and ;i little doubtful, those from 273 are fine and adult. I think Tryon has gone too far in uniting so many species to A. philippinarum, so I have recorded the two next forms as separate species.
The radula is long, yellowish-brown and consists ut a large number of transverse rows >■{ teeth. The rhachidian tooth (R) has a broad sub-quadrangular body with convex upper and basal margin, a long sharp median denticle and 3 smaller ones on each side, the laterals (1) have an elongate body ending in a tail on the distal side and a tricuspid cusp, composed of a very large central denticle and a small one on each side, the uncini have the ordinary comblike structure, the inner one has 15 denticles, of which the majority is simple, only a few <>f the distal ones and sometimes one or two others are bifid, the denticles of the outermost of the uncini are as a rule bifid, in a few I see three cusps, the number of denticles is about 40, with a knoblike one at the distal extremity.

The specimen \v<>\n Stat. 164 is a dead shell with impressed striae over the whole surface,
this niay however depend on the circumstance that the shell is slightly worn, as I see traces of
striae in a fresh but young specimen from Stat. 273. The shell is in comparison much narrower
than the preceding one, the shape is more elegant, in fresh specimens the tips are slightlj rosy.
The radula resembles in many respects that of the former species. The rhachidian tooth
1 sub-quadrangular body, with a long median denticle and two smaller ones at each
1 | with their tailed body, have also a long cusp with one smaller denticle
rr, two very small unes on the outer margin. The uncini are comblike, with usually
few bifid denticles amongst the inner om-s and bi- and trifid in the outer ones.

As far as may be judged from a single radula of each species, its characters, in connection with the conchological ones, are favorable to the specific distinctness of the two forms.

The depth at which the specimens have been captured, makes a somewhat exceptional appearance amongst the other species of the genus1); the specimens contain the soft parts and so one may conclude that they will have lived on the collecting-ground.
The rhachidian tooth (R) of the radula has a broad, angular body, with a rounded basal line, its cusp has one large median denticle and on each side four smaller ones; the lateral tooth (1) has a rhombic shape with a taillike process on the distal side of the body and a long cusp with four smaller ones on the visible distal side of the reflected margin; the uncini have the family-character, the denticles of the outer ones are bifid and trihd.

According t<> Tryon the radula of this species is still unknown, and I am not aware that it lias since been described. lts location amongst the Amphiperasidae has even been doubtfnl. In an old radula of tliis species trom Amboina I see that by the characteristic mmblike uncini the ^enus belongs without doubt to that family. The teeth of the central field are however sufficiently different from its allies to consider the genus Calpurnus as a valid one. The rhachidian tooth R has a broad body, with two wings near the base and a very large central cusp, with one or two small denticles at its base. The laterals (1) have a subquadrangular body and a very long archlike cusp, with a small denticle about halfway; these teeth are quite different from those of other species of this family figured by Troschel.

The specimen from Stat. 96 is quite adult.

Kiener (1. c), that from Stat. i is young and resembles the upper whorls of Kiener's fig. i ; the specimens from Stat. 7 1 belong perhaps to var. turritus Lam. but are too young to be quite certain about them; by comparing fig. O of Rumph, with the figure of Chemnitz, quoted by Lamarck. for his var. turritus, I think v. Martens was wrong in identifying that fig. O with the var. turritus. In the type the back view of the last whorl occupies at least half the length of the shell, in the variety it is shorter, in Chemnitz's figure it scarcely surpasses a third part of the length. Tryon's fig. 43 may still belong to the type of the species.

Both specimens are empty shells, they are very small, being only 29 and 321/:, Mill. in length. They differ from the descriptions by the columella; which is wrinkled in its whole length instead of being only wrinkled above and below, but as these wrinkles are less conspicuous in the specimen from unknown locality, I suppose this character may have but little value. By these wrinkles the shells are allied to 5. deformis (Gray in Griffith's Animal Kingdom, Vol. XII, pi. 25, fig. 5), but the shape of the apertural wing agrees with that of S. labiosus; the Siboga-specimens are in some degree intermediate between the two species.

The specimen from Stat. 133 agrees very well with Reeve's figure but it is smaller and less intensely coloured, that from Stat. 279 is still smaller and has a basal row of obtuse tubercles, the third from Stat. 313 is young, this latter specimen has some resemblance with the species of the deutatus-group, but I cannot conceive how Tryon considers this species to be a variety of S. dentatus, as it is very conspicuously winged ; the observation of Reeve, that many specimens of 5. labiosus are nearly allied, fully agrees with the specimen from Stat. 133. Unfortunately none of the specimens contained the soft parts.

The specimens are very variable in shape, size and colour, also in colour of the columella which is as in the quoted fïgures blackish, more or less deep orange or white. In employing the name muricatus for this species, I have foliowed Boog Watson (l.c.) though it is generally known as 5. urceus. But the reasons of that author for changing the name, seem to be too convincing, to neglect them. Hedley (Proc. Linn. Soc. New South Wales, 1904, p. 188) applies the name 5. ustulatus Schumacher for this species; this name is however of more recent date.

This is the species better known as 5". floridus Lam., which after Haxlkv (cfr. Boog ought to bear the Linnean name of S. urceus. Linnë" himself quotes fig. T of RtMi'ii. which is certainly not Lamarck's floridus, but probably S. dentatus Lin. if not S. nncri- catus Martini; as the fig. G of plate 32 of GuALTIERl (Index testarum conchyliorum), likewise quoted by Linné, is however quite another species of Strombus, the original specimen is the only safe source, and so this shell must bear the name urceus, hovv inconvenient it may be to alter long familiar names.

This fine shell has much puzzled me; after comparing it carefully with typical specimens, I can see nothing in it but a dwarfed form with obsolete sculpture, probably owing its peculiar character to the considerably greater depth. A young specimen is scarcely different from young ones from Stat. 306. Unfortunately the shells contained nothing but some mud.
The radula of a small specimen from Stat. 306 agrees in many respects with those of other Strombidae, it is short, with about 35 rows of teeth, its colour is yellowish. The rhachidian tooth (R) has a body which is broad in front and suddenly narrower about halfway; its cusp has 1 1 denticles, of which the central one is the largest; the lateral tooth (1) has a transversely much elongated body and about 9 denticles on its reflected margin. The uncini (U) are long, slender, much curved, with a few small denticles on the sides. It was a male specimen with a long slender penis, ending in a thickened, spear-shaped point.

I have maintained Rimella as a genus, though it has been considered by Fischer and Tryon as a subgenus of Rostellaria, but the operculum is serrate as in Strombus, instead of being smooth-margined as in Rostellaria.
The forma minor distinguishes itself by its smallness and the vivid painting, the specimen from Amboina which has a length of 26 Mill. and which is also more gayly coloured may be considered as a link between the type and forma minor.

Ili is species is also very variable in size, the smallest specimen from Stat. 4 being only 14 Mill. in length, the largvst from the same locality 23 Mill., this latter being only surpassed bv a specimen from Stat. : measuring 25 Mill. The opercuium is serrate, as in A'. cancellata\ ,i> far as 1 know this species has not been figured before.
The radula which, as far as I am aware, was not yet known is very small, its length is about k, its breadth '/s 0I" a Mill., with about 35 transverse rows. The rhachidian tooth (R) is broadly rounded in front, contracted behind, with a cusp bearing one moderately large central denticle and about 6 smaller ones on each side, the laterals(i) are strongly transversely elongate with a simple reflected margin, terminating in a sharp point towards the centre of the radula, the uncini I are long and slender, strongly curved, with a few indistinct denticles. The general appearance of the radula is much the same as that of the preceding genus, as far as may be judged from one radula of each, the chief difference being the smooth margin of the laterals, which are provided with many denticles in Rostellaria.

Of the two specimens, one is characteristic, being white with a broad brown band at the base of each whorl, it seems to ditfer from the figures by one or two of the spirals being slightly prominent, in the other specimen I see a few brown spots on the base of the whorls, but no distinct band, and two spirals so much developed as to form one row of small tubercles on the upper whorls, about halfway, and a second row, nearly concealed by the suture. Both specimens an- young. If adult they might be described as a variety, but now I prefer to make only mention of these characters, as constituting individual aberrations of the type.

Very variable in colour, yellowish, brown, whitish, often more or less banded and variegated with darker colours, however shape, size and sculpture agree with such specimens as may be considered to belong to the type. Cerithium rubus of Martyn, seems to be quite another species; according to Pilsbry (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Philadelphia. 1901, p. 392) it should be the same as C. echinatum of Lamarck; if this be right; the species recorded above sub N" 4, ought to bear that name.

According to Reeve, the only difference between C. aduncum and dorsuosum should be, that in the former the outer lip is ridged, bein^ smooth in dorsuosum. Now, as the very old specimens from the above locality have the outer lip smooth, the younger ones have it ridged, with everv grade between them, I think they ought to be united, as for the lirst time has been done by Tryon, afterwards by Kobelt on Tryon's authority; the "Siboga'-specimens are less humped, than the figure of aduncum, the colour also agrees with Reeve's dorsuosum, but in size and in sliape of upper whorls, they come nearer to his aduncum.

Though the specimens have a fourth row of nodules on each whorl, in contradiction to the original description of Adams, who says "triseriatim granosis", they belong no doubt to the species under consideration, as they have been compared with the types in the British Museum by Mr. E. A. Smith; the shell has a tendency t" be banded with fulvous above the suture, the fourth series of nodules is smaller and so may have been overlooked, moreover I see a • rmediate lirae especially on the last whorl. There is a single varix on the left side of the bodywhorl and another bordering the aperture externally; the whole shell is covered with l ae, only visible under a strong lens.

I cannot separate this form from the subfossil ones from Celebes. The sculpture of these latter seems to be sharper, but this may depend on its fossil state or on local influence. The recent specimens are dark yellowish-brown, mottled with white, mixed with irregular patches of crimson on the last whorl ; the aperture especially the columella and canal is stained by the same colour.

Shell elongate, yellowish-brown, with many convex whorls. Nucleus wanting, remaining whorls 12, the uppermost closed by a calcareous septum, upper ones regularly convex, lower ones with a broad excavation below the suture, which is not deep, slightly compressed at the sides. Of the two specimens (which are unfortunately not adult) the largest has 4 varices on the lower whorls. Sculpture consisting of 5 spiral cords, of which one borders the base of each whorl, the uppermost bordering the subsutural excavation. The whole shell, as well the spiral

Kobelt, whose figures are not very characteristic, especially not in the shape of the canal, says: " Aus dem indopacifischen Ocean ist sie meines Wissens noch nicht bekannt geworden, wenn nicht etwa Cerithium graniferum Pease hierher gehort". Dunker (Index Molluscorum maris Japonici, p. 108) has recorded the species from Japan, and has observed specimens with brown lines in the interstices of the lirae, more rarely whitish ones, agreeing with Philippi's figures. Previous to this record is that of Lischke (Japanische Meeres-Conchylien, Band I p. 72, Band III p. 49); v. Martens (Moll. Mauritius p. 280) quoted by Kobelt, prefixes an "I" to the species, meaning that it lives also in the Indian Ocean (Nicobaren, Ceylon, Malaischer Archipel). In the majority of the specimens, the interstices of the lirae have distinct brown lines, where they are wanting, this seems to be caused by fading, in dead specimens. The canal, if intact, is by no means so straight as in Kobelt's figures, so I have left the species in the genus Clava = ]Tcrtagus.

I'his species lias been ascribed both to Vertagus (= Clava) and Ceritkium. Dunker himself and Tryon, describe it as I 'er/agus, Kobei.t and Watson (Challenger-Gastropoda) as Cerithium. Pilsbry, who in his "Catalogue of the marine Mollusks of Japan, 1895, p. 56, enumerates it as Clava Pfefferi, says in 1901 (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sciences, Philadelphia, p. 393) ■ rhe Vertagus Pfefferi of Dunker is not a Vertagus or Clava, but a true Cerithium". The ' Siboga" -specimens agree in every partioular with the original figure and description of Dunker, bnt if one looks into the apertnre in an oblique direction, one sees a more or less distinct fold on the cohunellar side, which is very strong in young and broken specimens, if one looks however at the adult shell en face, the fold is not visible at all. The species varies not only in colour, at has been stated by DUNKER, bnt also considerably in size.

Cerithiopsis Forbes & Hanley. 1. Cerithiopsis (Seiia) Versluysi n. sp. PI. XI, fig. 7. Stat. 231. Amboina. Reef. 1 Spec.
Shell small, turriculate, brown, with about 10 postnuclear, flat whorls, the nuclear ones wanting; each whorl with three spiral ribs, of which the upper and basal ones are thick, the median one is narrower, the interstices are wider than the ribs, distinctly radiately striate; on the last whorl the number of spiral ribs amounts to five, two ribs appearing below the peripheral one : moreover two small intermediate striae appear towards the aperture. Suture not conspicuous. Aperture subquadrangular, right margin straight, simple, but not sharp ; columellar margin smooth, with a rather thick layer of enamel, upper corner of the aperture with an entering rib, formed by a continuation of the most basal of the lirae, canal short, rather wide, directed towards the left.
Alt. 51/,, lat. 2 Mill.
This small species may be allied to C. dextroversa Ads., by its sculpture consisting of 3 carinae of which the central one is smaller, but that species is whitish, much larger and has a larger number of whorls, for even if complete, the new species scarcely could have more than 1 2 whorls.

Part of the specimens is slightly larger than the type described by Melvill and Standen, moreover they are more or less variegated with brown. The operculum is rounded-oval, with many whorls, I think about 8, of which the outer ones are broad, the central ones so small that I cannot count them with accuracy.
The radula is exceedingly small and of difficult observation, its breadth being scarcely 1/G of a Mill., its length could not be ascertained, as it feil to pieces, but it may not have exceeded 72 Mill. The rhachidian tooth (R) has a broad, subquadrangular shape, with curved sides, the cusp has one larger denticle and three smaller ones on each side, it seems that along the basal margin, runs a narrow very indistinct zone, but by the excessive thinness, I am not quite certain about this, the laterals (1) have an elongately subrhombical shape, the cusp has one

1 Argyropeza, the denticles, if they exist at all, are very faint. The operculum
n described by Fisi her (Manuel de Conchyliologie) as suboval, paucispiral,
with sublateral nucleus, placed at the left side of the aperture, that of Litiopa as oval, very
thin, paucispiral. with subterminal nucleus. As stated above the operculum in Argyropeza is
multispiral and has a subcentral nucleus. From Bit Hum, of which 1 find no description
the radula, it should be distinguished by its many-whorled operculum.

Shell small, pyramidal, white, whorls 1 1 '/,, of which nearly 2 form the nucleus. the first is rather bulbous and smooth, the second radiately ribbed one is also swollen; remaining whorls regularly increasing, slightly contracted above and below, nearly straight towards the middle, with two spiral rows of pointed nodules, connected by slight spirals and oblique radiating ribs, moreover the shell has a thin spiral, just above the linear suture. The rest of the surface is smooth and shining, with a slight nacreous lustre and with numerous fine growth-striae. Body- whorl conspicuously keeled below the periphery and with a second keel at some distance on the smooth base. Aperture subrhombic, outer margin thin, angulate at the end of the lower row of nodules, columellar margin rounded, slightly curved, ending in a point, where it joins the basal margin.

This species has much puzzled me, more than once I had compared it with the preceding
one, but the very different nucleus and the aperture abstained me from considering it as belonging
to the genus Argyropeza, unfortunately the operculum and the soft parts are wanting; at last
I asked the assistance of Mr. J. CoSMO Melvill, who suggested it would be a Cerithopsoid
shell, probably belonging to the genus Argyropeza. As to the different nucleus, I found it had
much resemblance with that of Cerithium obeliscoides Jeffr. (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1885,
. PI. VI, fig. 4 . Jeffrevss (1. c. p. 59) divided the species of Cerithiopsis in two sections:
-A. typical with acuminated apex and B. Eumeta Mörch, Apex blunt". If the species nou under
consideration, really belongs to the genus Argyropeza, this genus could be divided in the same
inner. I have named it after one of the authors of the genus. The new species is larger,
with less convex whorls than A. divina, it has a nearly smooth base and quite
different nucleus.

Nuclear whorls wanting, remaining ones about 12, concave, with two spirals, consisting of beads, the basal one the strongest, between these two, but nearer to the upper one, runs a third spiral, which is much narrower and not beaded but waved, at the shallow suture a tracé of a fourth spiral makes its appearance, it is quite visible on the last whorl, where it proves to be less strong than the basal one of former whorls, and to be less conspicuously beaded, it is accompanied by a fifth spiral, placed at a small distance ; moreover the whorls are sculptured by perpendicular grooves and flat ribs, connecting the beads of the upper and lower rows of beads, and finally the whole shell with exception of the beads, is covered with microscopical spirals and radiating striae, which fill also the space between the 5th liration and the canal, the base is also plicated by a few radiating folds; the beads of the upper row on each whorl are constantly yellowish, those of the basal row alternately (but not regularly) white and yellowish-brown, with occasionally brown spots between them, the colour of the rest of the shell is of an ashy violet. Aperture subquadrate, columellar margin thickened, with two small callosities, of which the lower one borders the short canal, which is a little curved backwards.
Long. (incl. canal) 13, lat. 31/., Mill.
The specimen is slightly bleached by time, perhaps by the action of spirits. I know no species to which it is really allied, but it has a superficial resemblance with T. malvacea Jouss. belonging however to another section of the genus.

Aperture subcircular, but with many angles, of which one at the upper part, three are formed by the keels, which are hollow interiorly, and one by a basal channel.

This is a very remarkable species; amongst those described it has only a remote resemblance with T. bicarinata Brod. and Sow. and T. coronata Gould, it differs however so much from both, that it is not necessary to insist upon the differences. The three very strong, hollow spiral keels are most characteristic. As to the generic position, the epidermis, shape of aperture with basal channel and the operculum have guided me. As I would not destroy the only specimen, I was unable to examine the radula.

I found in the same tube containing the former species, two smaller shells, both perhaps young, which I could not identify even generically ; they have a superficial resemblance with the new Trichotropis, by being turbinate, with a fibrous epidermis and three keels, but these keels are much less sharp or conspicuous, and the chief difference consists in the aperture, which is slightly angular but not channelled below, the number of whorls is about 4 of which about i1/* form a rather large nucleus, and 2l/2 are depressed above, between the conspicuous suture and the uppermost keel.

I sent the largest specimen to Mr. E. A. Smith, who was also in doubt about its syste- matic position, so I have abstained myself from naming it.
The radula resembles more that of Crucióulum than of Trichotropis, the rhachidian tooth (R) is subquadrangular, with a large multicuspidate cusp, I see 8 small denticles on each side of the median one, the laterals (1) are subrhombic, with a long cusp with denticles on both sides, about 8 on the distal side; the uncini (U) are elongate, with a few denticles near the point. This latter character is not in accordance with what is known of Trichotropidae. (Should it be possible that these small denticles have been overlooked? In - Trichotropis the teeth much cover each other).

remote spiral striae. Basal face subconvex, hut quite flat in the centre, with a shallow groove

crossed by plicae running from the peripheral spines in an oblique direction; the outermost of

This species has by its conical shape some resemblance with S. trispinosa Watson, but
that species is considerably smaller, with less distinct spines, which have more the character of
rounded tubcrcles, it has smooth interstices, without the conspicuous plications of the new
species. The circumstance that the base of the specimens of trispinosa which 1 could compare is
much smoother, seems to give no reliable distinguishing-character, at least Watson ("Challenger"-
p. 1 ioj says : "has some faint spirals". I have named the new species in honour of
Mr. J. (.'. Mi.i.vii.i., who has kindly sent me for comparison all his materials of this genus.
to the radula of this species, it is a very small and rather obscure object, and only
pieces, I could get an idea of the shape of the teeth, the uncini quite covering
lian rows, and crossing even the uncini of the opposite side. The rhachidian or median
subquadrate basal part, with rounded, convex posterior and less convex lateral
70
179
margins, it has a broad, triangular cusp, with one small median denticle and about 6 smaller ones on each side; the laterals (i) one on each side, have a transversely triangular shape, with an unarmed, arched upper and concave proximal and basal margin, with blunt points at the proximal and distal extremities of the basal margin; on each side I see at least 3, but I suppose there are 4 uncini (U) which are long, slender and strongly curved. Though this radula has some resemblance with that of Aporrhais, like Verrill (Mollusca of the New England coast, Transact. Connecticut Acad. of arts and sciences, Vol. VI, May 1884, p. 186 and 188) has stated, and like his figure (1. c. pi. 31, fig. 14^) affirms, I cannot agree without doubt with his view that it should be Taenioglossate, as the "Siboga"-specimen has a radula with at least 9 rows of teeth and probably 11. The nacreous character of the shell agrees with the Rhipidoglossa, and so does the larger number of uncini. I should think the genus will belong to the Rhipi- doglossa with a restricted number of teeth, such as Basilissa. As however only a knowledge of other anatomical particulars, the position and structure of the gills, of the heart etc. can decide the question I have left the family near Trichotropis, in accordance with the newest systematic arrangement of Pelseneer (A treatise on Zoology, edited by Ray Lankester, Part V, Mollusca, 1906, p. 156.

Whorls 7, of which the uppermost forms the smooth nucleus, foliowed by about 2 whorls with a sub- median keel and displaying a cancellated appearance by the intercrossing of subequal spiral and radiating riblets. The other whorls have each 3 spirals, of which the uppermost runs at a little distance from the suture, the next which is the strongest, renders the whorls carinate about halfway, and a third which seems to run just in the rather conspicuous suture-, moreover the interstices have more or less numerous fine spirals (numerous in the type, where they quite fill the spaces) ; this spiral sculpture is crossed by radiating riblets, running straight in an oblique direction, from the suture to the upper spiral, where they form small crenulations, in the next interstice they are concave and at last convex towards the basal liration; last whorl rounded, with a strong peripheral keel, being the basal one of the upper whorls, and a convex base, with another spiral at some distance from the peripheral keel, and 1 2 basal spirals of which three more spaced ones, at a larger distance from the subperipheral spiral, and 9 more central spirals, which are flatter, at subequal distances, the innermost bordering the umbilicus; these spirals are connected by small radiating riblets in the interstices, moreover these interstices are filled, as far as I can see, with similar finer spirals as in the spire. Umbilicus moderately wide, probably pervious, funnel-shaped, its wall with fine radiating striae and a conspicuous spiral groove, terminating in a strong dentiform projection on the columellar margin.

This description is made after the specimen from Stat. 178, which was the must complete one, the "( ::^ slightly differ by the number and disposition of the basal spirals, and
more considi in the finer spirals of the interstices between the keels, which in some parts
rly wanting and are, for instance, reduced to 1 and 3 in the spaces below the infra- sutural spiral and above the peripheral keel in the specimen from Stat. 88, as however all other chara ire really the same, 1 think these ditïerences will prove to be individual. I maybringin
■mbrance what Dall says (Buil. Mus. Comp. Zool. Vol. XVIII, p. 269), dealing on Seguenzia: -Hithcr each separate individual is to be regarded as a species, or the variability is very great. Persistant study of the specimens has convinced me, that the latter is the true solution, and that the most evident characters, such as the umbilicus (in some adult specimens) may be present or absent, that the number of spiral threads, thcir strength and sharpness on the basal disk. are entirely inconstant".
This species seems to be nearly allied to S. elegans Jeffr. (Proc. Roy. Soc. 1876, p. 200, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1885, p. 42, PI. 5, fig. 1, ia) but the radiating sculpture in the new species is much less crowded and coarser, the same is the case with the basal spirals, the new species is less flattened below the suture, more conical etc. These ditïerences in specimens from such a remote provenience, have induced me to consider them as specifically distinct.

These measurements will be more or less altered in a specimen with complete aperture.
This new species has some resemblance with S. elegans Jeffr. but differs sufficiently by the number of keels and by the aperture, which, though broken, has other characters, the columella in elegans being much longer than it can be in a complete specimen of 5. Sykesi, the whole shape of S. elegans is consequently more obliquely elongate, the sculpture is much less developed in the new species. It has also resemblance with 5. polita Verco (Trans, and Proc. Roy. Soc. South Austr. Vol. 30, 1906, p. 222, PI. 9, fig. 3, 4, 5), especially in its sculpture, but that species, according to Verco (1. c. PI. 9, fig. 5) is only rimate and the keels are blunt and placed in a different manner. The nearest ally is .S'. tonica Wats. (Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. 187S, Vol. 14, p. 589; " Challenger"-Gastrop. p. 107, PI. 7, fig. 3), and indeed I have been in doubt if it should not be an oriental variety, but that species, as figured, is much more depressed, has a more conspicuous liration at some distance from the suture, and the radiating sculpture seems to be more conspicuous in 5. ionica.
Named in honour of Mr. E. R. Sykes, who has sent me for comparison a beautiful lot of specimens of this genus.

The nucleus and a great deal of the outer layer of the shell are wanting, its beautiful nacreous inner layer being visible in many partS; in consequence the sculpture is only visible on some small parts, as other parts have still suffered of corrosion; the columella and umbilicus have the same character, as in the preceding species. The outer margin of the aperture is quite defective, as well as the basal sculpture. In these circumstances I have not ventured t.i name the species, nor have I accurately described it, though it will be probably new.

These specimens have much puzzled me, those from the two stations being considerably different. That from Stat. 241 is more slender and lias a coarser sculpture, somewhat different from the specimens collected at Stat. 137. The reasons that I have united them to the Atlantic S. monocingulata are: the greal variability of that species, as already stateil by Dall in his publication on the "Blake" Mollusca, quoted before in dealing with 5.

in the figures at my disposal, and last not least, the specimens received for comparison of Mr. Dautzenberg and of Mrs. J. C. Melvill and E. R. Sykes, the specimen from Stat. 241 more resembling the specimens of Dautzenberg and Sykes by its stronger, shorter, more remote, concave riblets between the sutural and next keel, while the specimens from Stat. 137, of which one is a beautiful shell containing the soft parts, better agrees with Mr. Melvill's specimens, with weaker, longer, more crowded riblets in the same space, these riblets being nearly straight and only curved in their basal part, in this respect more resembling S. ercmita Verrill (Trans. Conn. Acad. Vol. VI, PI. 31, fig. 15); these latter specimens have the subsutural liration but very little developed, much less so than in the specimens of Dautzenberg and part of those of Sykes, which are slightly variable in this respect.
Fam. Vermetidae.
This family is perhaps the most disagreeable amongst Gastropods to deal with; the extreme variability in the majority of the species and the often vague descriptions, render it impossible in many cases, to make safe identifications, except in a few instances, if the species have prominent characters. Many of the names applied below are more or less doubtful and not a few specimens must remain without name. In vain I hoped that the keeper of the mollusca in the British Museum, where the types of Mörch are preserved as far as I know, with his usual kindness should give me assistance, but he wrote me he knew nothing about that family ; and though " nothing" will probably be too strong an expression, I could not get the hoped for certainty.
