PAUXULUS. 121 



omphalum (Abhandl. Naturf. Ges. Gorlitz, vol, 22, p. 153; 

 1898) from Tangat, Busuanga, and which, as I noted in vol. 

 24, p. 141, seems not to have been described. 



FAUXULUS Schauf. (p. 73). 

 Fauxulus fryanus (Bens.). PI. 21, fig. 14. 



Vol. 24, p. 246. "As this almost unknown species has never 

 been figured, I illustrate an example in my collection gathered 

 by Layard at Bredasdorp. The aperture is tubular and par- 

 ticularly remarkable for the basal canal, which continues as a 

 sharp, strong keel around the wide, deep umbilicus, while, 

 owing to the apertural prolongation, two of the lamellae are 

 so deepset as to be hardly visible ; the sculpture also is remark- 

 able, consisting after the first two whorls of close, coarse, 

 curved oblique costae, which are cut from the sixth whorl 

 onward by particularly strong, close, spiral grooves. The pale 

 lilac hue of the lower whorls is another unusual feature" 

 (Connolly, Ann. Mag. N. H., 10 ser., vol. 8, p. 308, pi. 10, 

 fig. 11). 



Fauxulus barnardi Connolly. PI. 21, fig. 4. 



"Shell sinistral, rather small, subfusiform, rimate, slightly 

 silky, rather glossy, corneous reddish-brown. Spire produced, 

 sides convex, apex mammillate. Whorls 8, not very convex, 

 increasing very gradually until the last, which is narrower 

 than the one before it; the first smooth, remainder sculptured 

 with close, fine, slightly curved, oblique striae ; suture simple, 

 well defined. Aperture subquadrate, peristome just free, 

 expanded and continuous; lips vertical in profile; dentition 

 7-fold : a strong, slightly incurved, inrunning parietal lamella, 

 arising in the central of the paries ; a similar angular lamella 

 arising on the edge of the labrum; two blunt denticles, the 

 lower slightly larger, close together half-way down the labrum ; 

 a strong, inrunning lower-palatal fold ; a small tubercle about 

 the center of the base, and a very prominent, descending, in- 

 running columellar lamella" (Connolly). 



"Long. 4.7, lat. 2.6; apert. alt. 1.7, lat. 1.7; last whorl 2.2 

 mm."
