angled above and narrowly produced below. Outer lip flatly 

 rounded, thin and sharp. Columella vertical, slightly concave, 

 with a low oblique plait above ; inner lip rather broadly ex- 

 panded, spreading thinly over the parietal wall. 



Diameter, 24 Mm. ; height, 5-6 mm. 



Type in my collection. 



Hab. — Bay of Islands (J. C. Anderson). 



Remarks. — This species is evidently also near 0. hyphala, 

 Wats., but it is shorter, with the same number of whorls, and 

 slightly more slender ; the whorls are angled above the suture, 

 the last whorl is slightly angled at the periphery ; the suture is 

 channelled and the whorls not projecting below it. 



14. Odostomia (Menestho) sabulosa, n. sp. Plate XXIX, 



fig. 15. 



Shell small, elevated, spirally striate, thin, faintly shining, 

 imperforate. Sculpture consisting of flattish spiral cords, 

 7 on the penultimate whorl, and extending over the base ; 

 interstices slightly narrower than the cords, ornamented with 

 numerous equidistant axial threads. Colour white. Spire 

 narrowly conic, twice the height of the aperture ; outlines 

 straight. Protoconch heterostrophe, of 1 whorl, smooth, 

 globular. Whorls 6, regularly increasing, but faintly convex ; 

 base flattish. Suture canaliculate, but not very deep. Aperture 

 subvertical, oval, angled above, narrowly rounded and effuse 

 below. Outer lip slightly convex. Columella vertical, almost 

 straight, the columella plait small and deep within the aperture ; 

 inner lip narrow, not reflexed, forming a very thin glaze on the 

 parietal wall. 



Diameter, 1*8 mm. ; height, 4*2 mm. 



Type in my collection. 



Hab. — Near the Bounty (type) and the Snares Islands, in 

 50 fathoms (Captain Bollons). 



Remarks. — The axial sculpture is in the majority of the 

 dredged and more or less worn specimens almost completely 

 lost. The species is more slender than 0. impolita, Hutt., the 

 spiral cords more distinct and mostly with wider interspaces, 

 and the latter are in well-preserved specimens reticulated by 

 axial threads. 



15. Odostomia (Evalea) liricincta, n. sp. Plate XXIX, fig. 16. 



Shell very small, elongate-oval, imperforate, spirally Urate, 

 slightly shining. Sculpture consisting of unequal flat spiral 

 lirse, absent on the first 2 whorls, the interstices linear, the 

 sculpture extending over the base ; growth-lines dense, oblique, 

 distinct. Colour white. Spire elevated-conic, about twice the*
