tind others equidistant between these. The broad and shallow 

 intervals are crossed b}' threads whicli rise in scale-tubercles on 

 each cord, at the rate of about 35 knots to a cord, these radials 

 penetrating the umbilicus. The latter is broad and funnel- 

 shaped. Aperture subcii-cular, oblique, outer lip thickened. 

 Height 0*9; major diam. 'Z'8d; minor diam. 1-4 mm. 



A few specimens, from 5-10 fathoms, Hope Islands. It also 

 occurred to me, in 15 fathoms, oflf the Palm Islands. The 

 novelty is nearest related to L. venusta Hedley,"^ bat is far 

 smaller, though proportionately higher and narrower, and more 

 ornately sculptured. More remote are L. acidalia Melvill & 

 .Standen, and L. philtata Hedle3\ 



LlOTIA ANXIA, n.Sp. 



(Plate xxxix., figs. 43-45.) 



Shell minute, depressed, turbinate, widely umbilicate. Colour 

 pale buff. Whorls three, rapidly increasing and loosely coiled, 

 the final half-whorl descending and departing from the remainder. 

 Sculpture : fine radial threads traverse the whole shell, about 

 sixty of these being on the last whorl, their interstices closely 

 latticed by rather finer spirals. Aperture free, circular, simple. 

 Umbilicus broad and deep. Height 0-7; maj. diam. 1-1; minor 

 diam. 0-85 mm. 



A few specimens, from 5-10 fathoms, Hope Island, and 8 

 iafiioms. Weary Bay. The novelty is related to L. disjuncta 

 Hedley,! which differs in the sculpture. 



Cyclostrema anxium, n.sp. 



(Plate xxxix., figs. 46 48.) 



Shell small, rather thin, glossy, discoidal, carinate. Coloqr 

 dull white, whorls four, including a small elevate protoconch of 

 A whorl and one-half, the last rapidly increasing. Suture envelop-
