spira brevis, ad apicem obtusa ; anfr. ultimus antice bisul- 

 catus, sulco superiori supra labrum denticulum inconspicuum 

 formante, ad extremitatem alteram ad partem aperturte 

 superiorem terminante ; labrum supra incrassatiim, incurvum, 

 ad insertionem leviter incisum ; columella antice callosa, 

 reflexa, leviter sulcata. 



Loiigit. 13 mm., diam. 7 ; apertura 8 mm. longa, 3 lata. 



Hab. — Port Shepstone (Burnup). 



Bather like A. sard a Reeve in shape, but differing in 

 having a second groove upon the body-whorl higher up than 

 the one around the anterior end of Reeve's species. The 

 habitat of the latter was unknown to its author, but a nice 

 series of it from Zanzibar was received by the British Museum 

 from Mr. J. T. Last. Two specimens of the present species 

 have been examined — the one entirely snow white, the other, 

 viewed at a distance, apparently of an uniform pale-yelloAV 

 colour, a little darker at the suture and upon the body-whorl 

 below the upper groove. On a closer inspection the yellow 

 tint is broken up by slightly oblique whitish streaks.

This name must be employed for the species catalogued by 

 Mr. Sowerby ('Marine Shells S. A.,' p. 21) as M. crassila- 

 brum, as that name was already twice preoccupied. 



Marginella angustata Soicerhy. 



Ancilla angustata Sowerhy, 'Marine Invest.,' vol. ii, 

 p. 229. 



Hab. — Off Cape Point, 42 fathoms. 



By a curious accident this species was wrongly recorded 

 by Mr. Sowerby under the genus Ancilla.
