Tlie Louisiade Pupinellse appear to fall into three natural 

 groups : (a) comprising P. macgregori and P. minor, in which the 

 lateral canal is produced into a tube around the umbilical region ; 

 (b) containing P. grandis, P. angasi, P. smithi, P. moulinsiana, 

 and P. rosseliana, in which the canal merely notches the columellar 

 margin, the five in the order named being a graduated series whose 

 notch is completely cut, half cut, and scarcely indented ; they form 

 an easy transition to (c) P. brazierce, in which the notch is absent.

The single specimen, the second known to science, collected by 

 the latter is in a good state of preservation. The colour is a dark 

 red ; the sculpture differs remarkably from that of its allies, their 

 coarse malleations being entirely absent, instead are developed 

 close, raised, oblique, sinuate hair lines. The lip and callus are, 

 under the lens, delicately granulated.
