144 Panama Shells. MURICID^E. 



Mean divergence about 38 ; length .95 inch ; breadth .35 

 inch ; length of spire .62 inch. 



Having received from Mr. Cuming specimens of this species 

 labelled P. zonulata, we infer that it has been confounded with 

 that species in collections. Mr. C timing's specimens are said 

 in the MS. catalogue to have come from the Philippine Is., 

 but as their specific identity with our species is unquestionable, 

 it is probable that the catalogue is erroneous.
