208 EDGAR A. SMITH. 



Hab. — UurbaUj Natal (H. BLirnup) ; Japan (A. Ad.). 



A single specimen, agreeing in all respects with examples 

 from Japan in the British Museum from the collection of 

 Henry Adams, which he doubtless received from his brother. 

 The specific name carinata being pre-occupied, the species 

 described by Watson under that name should be changed if 

 distinct. 



Schismope insignis n. sp. VI. VIII, figs. 4, 4a. . 



Testa minuta, subturbinata, mediocriter umbilicata; an- 

 fractus tres celeriter crescontes, perconvexi, primus vix 

 ehitus, planorbiformis, tenuissime longitudinaliter etconfertim 

 liratus, secundus liris vel costellis circiter septem remotis 

 validis instructus, ultimus liris duobus tenuibus spiralibus 

 supra medium ornatus, supra carinam superiorem striis 

 incrementi oblique arcuatis minutis sculptus, infra carinam 

 inferiorem costis validis octo remotis et striis spiralibus 

 circiter duodecim ornatus ; foramen oblongum, ab margine 

 labrali paulo remotum; peristomium subcirculare, continuum. 



Diam. 'S, alt. "5 mill. 



Hab. — Four miles south of Port Elizabeth (J. Farquhar). 



Three of the spiral lines upon the base of the body-whorl 

 are much stronger than the rest, and, under the microscope, 

 have the appearance of lira: somewhat broken up by the 

 costa3 which cross them. The two parallel carinie only extend 

 over the dorsal portion of the body- whorl from the foramen. 

 There is a marked difference between the fine sculpture of 

 the apical whorl and that of the rest of the shell. 



Glyphis austriilis Kranss. 



Hab. — Tongaat, Natal (Burnup). 



This specimen is peculiar in having no apical perforation. 

 In very early youth it may have had one, for there is a slight 

 depression at the extreme apex as if it may have been open. 

 However, it is conq^letely closed now, and within there is no 

 distinct hole-callus such as occurs in normal specimens. 

 There is merely an undehned deposit of calhis at the apex.
