The dimensions of the remaining specimen in Mr.Ponsonby's 

 collection were not taken, as, the lip at the base being chipped, 

 they would be misleading. 



As regards the difference in the number of whorls, while 

 Ancey describes his type as having 8 whorls, I can but count 

 7f ; and while Melvill and Ponsonby assign 6 as the nvimber of 

 whorls in their type, their figure seems to indicate about 6^ 

 or 6J, and my specimens have 6| and 7 whorls respectively.

Ennea munita Melv. & Pons., Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. ix (1892), 

 p. 86, pi. vi, fig. 5. 



Shell small, rimate, ovate-cylindrical, whitish, transparent, 

 shining, rounded towards the blunt apex ; whorls about 7, 

 only slightly ventricose, rather strongly sculptured with 

 regular transverse strife, except the first two, which are 

 smooth, and the area immediately above the aperture, which 

 is nearly smooth and brightly polished ; suture rather shallow ; 

 aperture rather long and ear-shaped, with thickened, much 

 expanded, and slightly reflexed, white porcellanous peristome 

 furnished with the following teeth and plates : a comparatively 

 small, blade-like, in-running parietal plait, a massive, rounded 

 tooth on the labrum bearing a denticle on the upper edge, a 

 small, deep-seated basal tooth, a rather broad, short, expressed 

 tooth, tapering below and ending abruptly above, on the 

 columellar lip, and a very deep-seated, rounded mammillate 

 columellar plait. 



Height 3-58, width 1-86 mm. 



Hab. — Grriqualand East; also Kowie (Ponsonby and 

 Langley). 



The original description being rather deficient and the 

 original figure indistinct and misleading, I have described 

 and figured a specimen in my collection given to me by Mr. 

 Ponsonby. Major Connolly, who has kindly compared for 

 me the figure with the type in the British Museum, writes 

 that the only differences he could find between the type and
