 slender. Colour variable, uniform pale buff to chocolate or 

 white with a peripheral orange line. Whorls eight, rounded or 

 angular, smooth and glossy; sutures impressed. Aperture simple,

Var. ANGULATA, var.Hov. 

 (Plate xliii., fig.84.) 



Whorls conspicuously keeled at the periphery. 



This variable species occurred plentifull}'-, in 5-10 fathoms, off 

 the Hope Islands. I also procured it in 15 fathoms, off the 

 Palm Islands, and Mr. A. U. Henn took it off Cape Sidmouth. 



EULIMA PIPERITA, n.Sp. 



(Plate xliii., fig. 85.) 



Shell small, slender-conic, apex mucronate. Whorls nine. 

 Oolour white, with groups of small chocolate dots clustered 

 around the periphery. Aperture pyriform, columella straight, 

 its margin a little expanded and reflected, a thin callus on the 

 body-whorl. Length 2 '5; breadth 1 mm. 



A few specimens, from 5-10 fathoms, off the Hope Islands. 

 The dot-painting affords a ready recognition of this species.
