ward in the mickllo. Columella heavily calloused, with broadly reflexed 

 appressed edge. 



Length 11.3, diam. 3.5 mm. 



Length 10.3, diam. 3.3 mm. 



Hahajima, Ogasawara. Types No. 88,311, A. N. S. P., from No. 

 1,604 of Mr. Hirase's collection. 



This species is much thicker than E. valida, with deeper variceal 

 furrows and calloused columella. It is also more bent. 



Eulima luohuana Pils. PI. II. figs. 7, 8. 

 Proc. A. N. S. P., 1901, p. 396. 



Shell rather thin, white and glossy, regularly tapering, almost 

 straight, though there is a quite perceptible curvature near the apex. 

 Whorls 10 or 11, slightly convex, the suture but slightly marked. 

 Varices slightly impressed, not very distinct, mostly separated by the 

 space of somewhat more than a whorl, and therefore quite irregularly 

 placed. The aperture is acuminate-ovate, the outer lip obtuse, arched 

 forward in the middle, retracted above and below; the columella 

 slightly concave, slightly calloused, the edge not reflexed. 



Length 11, diam. 3.7 mm. 



The specimens originally described from Loochoo (Okinawa) Island 

 had lost the apices. The description above is from perfect shells from 

 Kkaiga-shima. The varices are all on the face and right side in the 

 two type specimens, as stated in the original description, but this is 

 merely accidental; in the larger series now received there are sometimes 

 a few on the left side, though most of them are on the face, right side 

 or back, usually scattered through an arc of a third of the circle, but 

 sometimes several are in a line on successive whorls. 



This species corresponds fairly well with A. Adams' description of 

 E. valida, but that shell is said to be straight, and no dimensions are 

 given. The curvature of E. luchuana, while slight, is readily appreci- 

 able. 



Eulima artioulata Sowerby. PI. II, fig. il. 



P. Z. S., 1S34, p. S; Conch. Illu.str., fig. 12; Conch Icon., XV, PI. 1, fig. 1. 



The shell is straight, slender and regularly tapering, solid but not 

 thick, glossy and nearly smooth, but fine, forwardly-oblique growth- 

 scratches are visible under a lens. The varices are situated at intervals 

 of three-fourths of a whorl, each marked by a white stripe followed by 

 a brown one, an impressed line between them. Color pinkish-brown, 

 with a white band below the suture and another at the periphery, 

 both with articulated brown and white borders. Whorls 14, the upper
