Found on coral reefs by Mr. Cuming. It is a pretty little species 

 with a delicately purple aperture.

 subangulatd, purpureo -fused, brunneo-fasciatd et maculatd, trans- 

 verse lineis elevatis, moniliformibus alternantibus striatd ; ad an- 

 gulum anfraciuum tuberculis acutis ; varicibus elevatis, utrinque 

 subfoveolatis, granoso-tuberculatis ; aperturd ovali, albd, intils 

 pallide purpurea ; canali postico lato, antico subrecurvo, lato ; labio 

 interno tenui, postice dentato antice extanti ; labio externo crenu- 

 lato validissime dentato, ad canalem posticum aculeato, antice sub- 

 expanso. 



Long. 2-85; lat. 1'70 poll. 



Hab. ad sinus Manilla? . H. Cuming legit. 



This species very nearly resembles R. elegans, Beck, Chemn. 1270, 

 Conch. Illustr., f. 17, of which it may perhaps be only a local va- 

 riety. Our shell is of a more oval shape and is more evenly granu- 

 lated in every part. Found in sandy mud at ten fathoms. 



7. Ranella neglecta, Conch. Illustr., f. 22. R. testd subquad- 

 ratd, brevi, lineis granulatis transverse striatd, pallide fulvd, 

 fusco-maculatd ; inter varices ad angulum posticum tuberculis 

 tribus magnis, in medio tribus ad quatuor parvis, prope caudam 

 uno, et aliquando serie moniliformi tuberculorum parvorum ; vari- 

 cibus crassis UraCim granulosis postice foveolatis ; aperturd ovali 

 albd; canali postico brevi, recto; canali antico brevi, subrecto ; 

 labio interno decumbente, granulato, prope canalem posticum acute 

 denticulato ; labio externo, minute denticulato, prope canales solum 

 reflexo. 



Long. 1-60; lat. 1*15. 



Hab. ad insulam Ceylon. 



This shell, which is now common, differs from R. crumena in the 

 following respects : it is shorter, the tubercles are more obtuse, the 

 canals are shorter and straighter, the outer lip is scarcely reflected, 

 and the inner lip is not raised at the caudal extremity. 



8. Ranella rugosa, Conch. Illustr., f. 7. R. testd ventricosd, 

 granulosd, angulatd, pallide fulvd, fusco-maculatd ; inter varices 

 ad angulum posticum tuberculis tribus obtusis, granulosis, inter 

 granula fusco interrupt o-lineatis, in medio lined duplicatd mo- 

 niliformi ; caudam versus lineis quinque alternantibus monilifor- 

 mibus ; varicibus crassis, granoso-tuberculatis, utrinque validis- 

 sime foveolatis ; canali antico tortuoso, magno ; aperturd rotun- 

 dato-ovali albd, canali postico sub-elongato ; labio interno tortuoso, 

 prope extremitates valide extanti ; labio externo reflexo, extus la- 

 queato, intus quinquefariam bi- denticulato, denticulis foveolato . 



Long. 2-30; lat. 1*50. 

 Hab. 



This species has not the thickness, flatness, nor the elongated, 

 curved, posterior canal of R. bufonia, nor are the tubercles so large.
