Stat. 104. Sulu-harbour, Sulu-island. 14 M. Sand. 1 Spec. 

 The specimen is an empty shell, but the beautiful Iines and dots are well preserved. 



8. Marginella (Persicula) subflava Preston. 



Preston. Proc. Mal. Soc. Lond. Vol. VII, p. 35, fig. (woodcut). 



Stat. 105. 6°8'N., 121 19' E. Sulu-archipelago. 275 M. Coralbottom. 1 Spec. 



The specimen is not in very good condition, its lower part seems to be a trifle more 

 inflated, but in other respects it agrees sumciently ; it is nearly 6 Mill. in length and has 8 plaits 

 on the columella; according to Preston it should be 6 Mill. and have 6 or 7 plaits, as he 

 states however that "the specimens vary somewhat in size" and that his new species differs 

 from M. dens Reeve in the much finer plaits of columella, denticulations of outer lip and by 

 its cream-colour, M. dens being white, I think the identification is not very doubtful. 



9. Marginella (Volvar ia) sordida Reeve.

Stat. 105. 6°8'N., 121 19' E. Sulu-archipelago. 275 M. Coralbottom. 1 Spec. 



A somewhat doubtful specimen of a doubtful species. It agrees however sufficiently with 

 the description and with Reeve's figure, which represents however only a dorsal view, rather 

 insufficiënt for such a small shell, with so little prominent characters. Reeve says: "of a simple 

 character, but distinct from any other species". Such remarks really say nothing.
