188 PLANAXID^. 



More attenuately produced and less distinctly angulate 

 than the preceding specimens. Long. 5 — 4|, diam. 2^ mil. It is 

 possibly the Flanaxis succinctus of Mc Andrew from Suez ? 

 Through the kindness of Colonel Godwin- Austen, I have had the 

 advantage of Mr. Edgar Smith's opinion of one of the Cher- 

 boniane Heef specimens — he considers it as Flanaxis Imeolatus, 

 Gld. 



7. Planaxis ineptus. 



Planaxis inepta, Gould, P. Bost. S. VII, 1860, Kikaia Bay — " axis 4, diam. 

 2 5 mil. " 



12 Cherboiiiane Reef, Arakan; coll. W. T. Blanford, Esq. 

 12 Ceylon ; coll. G. Nevill, Esq. 



Long. 8, diam. 4 J, another 4|, 2| mil. ; more or less sulcate, 

 last whorl always more or less angulate ; aperture contracted 

 and not " subpatulous " as in PI. Imeolatus ; very variable in size 

 as will be seen from the above measurements, generally striped 

 as in the figure of the Conch. Iconica of Fl. zonatus^ A. Adams, 

 [Philippines ; smooth], sometimes only one, sometimes many 

 banded. It may be an extreme var. of PI. lineolatiis, Gld. ? 

 My identification has been confirmed by Mr. Edgar Smith, 

 of the British Museum. 



var. persulcatula. 



1 Ceylon; coll. G. Nevill, Esq.
