marginata; apertura elongata, lalro simplici, columella contorta, encausta, 

 marginata, 4plicis elevatis, valde obliquiis insignita. Long. 7, lat. 2 



Tliis shell is easily distinguished by its narrow elongate form 

 devoid of ornament, polished, but with rather conspicuous lines 

 of growth. The columella is twisted, highly enamelled, margined 

 with a distinct rounded raised line, and with four raised, very 

 oblique plaits. The spire is very short, conspicuous, with a fine 

 margined suture and obtuse apex. 



MlTEA ALOKIZA. PL 2, fig. 12. 



Testa parva, angusta, fusiformi, ticrrita, s})ira quam apert. longiori, 

 solida, nitente ; anfr. 6, parum convexis, regulariter concinne spiraliter 

 striatis; sir i is crebre, eleganter punctatis ; Uneis incrementi conspicuis, 

 sutura bene impressd, conspicue marginata; apertura angusie ovata, 

 lalro simplici, columella exacte definita, tr/plieata. Long. 11, lat. 3$-. 



This small Mitra is in shape a miniature of our common M. badia 

 but probably more slender in proportion to its length. Its 

 peculiar distinction lies in the whorls being regularly and 

 distantly striate and the stria) being very elegantly and closely 

 dotted. It is probable that in less worn shells these dots would 

 seem to be caused by very small riblets. The suture is well 

 impressed and very distinctly margined. The aperture is short 

 and the columella has three plaits, the posterior the largest.

Though this shell is destitute of any striking ornamentation, it 

 is easily distinguished from the species already described. It is 

 very neatly, obliquely cancellate, the transverse and longitudinal
