Yet Speng- ler (1798) was able to give a locality for T. rosea as 'Fra Niquebar,' which refers to the Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Ben- gal. Gmelin (1791) gives Madagascar as the type-locality for T. madaiiascaricnsls and this error derived from Lister, whose figures indicate the locality. The range of T. madaiiascaricnsis has been given by Nickles (1950) as from the French Congo to Angola. Reference to tlie literature and museum specimens substantiates his statements and adds more specific data. From north to south, the documented range of madaiiascaricnsis is: Sao Thome (Nobre, 1909); Cape Lopez (USNM 348320); NLayumba, Gabon (Nick- les, 1952); Loango, Brazzaville, Congo (Nickles, 1952); Loanda, Angola (Hoyle, 1887); Lobito and Mo^amedes, Angola (Dautzenberg, 1912; Paes da Franca, 1960b); Great Fish Bay (Dautzenberg, 1912; Thiele and Jaeckef, 1931) [= Baia dos Tigresl and Cape Negro, Angola (Odhner, 1923). The locality Porto Grande, St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, given by Stearns (1893), is based upon 2 dead and beach worn shells (USNM 125365) and therefore cannot be construed as evidence that the species lives there. Thus, more specifically, T. mada<z,ascaricnsis ranges from off Sao Thome and Cape Lopez, Gabon, south along the west coast of Africa to the Baia dos Tigres in the Porto Alexandre Park of Angola just north of Kunene River. The localities Rio de Janeiro and Senegal given by Bertin (1878) are clearly in error. A single ri
