Fasciolaria rutila Watson : Sowerby, 'Marine 

 Invest./ vol. ii, p. 222, PI. Ill, fig. 2. 

 Hab. — Off Natal, 40 and 154 fathoms. 

 A young- shell and the radula are figured by Sowerby. 



■^ Latirus burnupi n. sp. PI. VII, fig. 7. 



Testa breviter fusiformis, albida, periostraco fuscescente 

 tenui induta ; spira acmninato-conica ; anfractus 8-9, supra 

 declives et leviter coneavi, deiu convexi, costis 8 fortibus 

 rotundatis supra attenuatis instruct!, liris tenuibus spiralibus, 

 confertis, infra suturam plus minus granulatis, ornatij ultimus 

 antice attenuatus, breviter caudatus, costis infra medium 

 sensim evanidis, lira unica paulo infra peripheriain ca^teris 

 magis conspicua; aperturaroseo-purparea, intus tenuiterlirata, 

 cum canali longit. totius ^ adtequans ; labrum pallidum, 

 subexpansum, antice fere patulum ; canah's parum obliquus ; 

 columella callo roseo-purpureo induta, in medio plicis tribus 

 tenuibus instructa, tuberculo parvo imico superme munita. 



Longit. 28 mm., diam. 11 'O ; apertura cum canali 14 longa, 

 5 lata. 



Hab. — Port Shepstone (Burnup).

 This is incorrect, as Krauss's species certainly belongs to
