The individual which served as type to M. Souleyet was young, 

 and had been brought home in spirits of wine, which hindered him 

 from seeing the black lines which adorn the external surface of this 

 Navicella. There is then no difference between his specimen and 

 these of Mr. Cuming. 



The operculum of this Navicella is rose-coloured, clouded with 

 white and blue, but the rose-colour predominates. The notch of its 

 anterior portion is somewhat rounded; its subarcuated apophysis 

 bears a longitudinal groove more or less impressed ; [the external 

 margin of this apophysis is tolerably large, and rather concave below 

 the middle, at the usual origin of the crest, which is wanting in this 

 species. The inferior or internal surface is of a pale flesh-colour, 

 with a blackish tint on its left margin. The muscular impression 

 is rose-colour, very shining, almost square, truncated anteriorly and 

 upon the left side, somewhat rounded at its base, straight and oblique 

 on the right side, with an acute angle at its base. 



This operculum varies in form and colour ; its notch in one indi- 

 vidual had the form of a A, or profoundly acute ; in others it was 

 very open : some are altogether rose-coloured, others rosy on one 

 side, yellow on the other, and blackish in the middle ; others again 

 almost entirely of a bluish tint, and mingled with these various co- 

 lours. 



The summit, sometimes almost entire or decorticated only, is at 

 other times entirely eroded at its inferior surface ; it is prolonged 

 upon the posterior margin of the opening, though not beyond, and 

 there it is worn away, as if it had been rubbed upon a grindstone.
