short, strongly arcuate, with a very strong plait above ; inner 

 lip very narrow. Umbilical chink a mere fissure. 



Diameter, 1-8 mm. ; height, 4-5 mm. 



Type in my collection. 



One perfect specimen. 



22. Eulima oxyacme, n. sp. Plate XXVII, fig. 7. 



Shell small, subulate, sharply pointed, pellucid, polished, 

 straight, thin and fragile. Sculpture formed by very fine straight 

 growth-lines only. Colour white. Spire elevated-conic, with a 

 sharp apex, not quite twice the height of the aperture ; outlines 

 perfectly straight. Protoconch minute, globose. Whorls 8, regu- 

 larly increasing, flat, the last high ; base flattish. Suture 

 linear, superficial, false -margined below. Aperture subvertical, 

 lanceolar, high and narrow, narrowly angled above, acuminate 

 below. Outer lip slightly convex, very thin and sharp ; basal 

 lip very narrowly rounded, and a little produced. Columella 

 vertical, straight, narrowed to a point below. Parietal wall 

 concave below, convex above. 



Diameter, 1-8 mm. ; height, 5-1 mm. 



Type in my collection. 



One specimen. 



23. Vulpecula biconica, Murdoch and Suter. 



Vulpecula (Pusia) biconica, M. and S., Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 

 xxxviii, 1905 (1906), p. 289, pi. xxxiii, fig. 22. 



A number of specimens. The sculpture is very variable in 

 its development, from faint to very bold. 



24. Vulpecula marginata (Hutton). Plate XXVII, fig. 8. 

 Turricula marginata, Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xvii, 1884 

 (1885), p. 315, pi. xviii, fig. 4 ; Pliocene Moll., p. 47. 



Shell small, fusiform, rather thin, axially costate and spirally 

 Urate. Sculpture consisting of fine spiral lirge, usually 2 ; 2 

 below the suture broader and much more prominent : about 

 7 on the penultimate whorl ; they are again more conspicuous 

 on the base ; straight angularly rounded axial riblets extend 

 over all the whorls, the protoconch excepted, 14 to 15 on a 

 whorl, and they vanish only on approaching the base, the inter- 

 stices of about the same width as the riblets ; only the two 

 stronger spirals below the suture pass over the axials. Colour 

 white. Spire elevated - conic, about the same height as the 

 aperture ; outlines slightly convex. Protoconch small, papil- 

 late, of 11 smooth and convex whorls, the nucleus excentric. 

 Whorls 5 to 6, the last high, moderately convex, the base dis-
