fringed by the external sculpture, inner lip glazed with white enamel; 

 canal rather long, l:)ent to the left, narrow, open, with a strong 

 laminose fasciole; height of shell, 30; of last whorl, 21; diameter, 15 

 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 183067. 



Type-locality. — Puget Sound, Prof. Trevor Khicaid. This has some- 

 what the aspect of a Tritonalia. 



CORALLIOPHILA (PSEUDOMUKEX) ORCUTTIANA, new species. 



Shell white with a pinkish flush in the aperture, of about six whorls, 

 the nucleus defective, suture distinct, slightly appressed; axial 

 sculpture of (on the last whorl 10) vertical rounded ribs extending to 

 the canal, with equal or narrower mterspaces and overrun by the 

 spirals; spiral sculpture on the penultimate whorl of one strong 

 peripheral cord, a secondary smaller cord on each side of it, carrying 

 a smaller thread in the mterspaces; between the suture behind and the 

 first secondary cord are three threads and this part of the whorl is 

 slightly flattened; on the last whorl beside the peripheral one there 

 are about a dozen secondary cords and as many intercalary threads, 

 all sculptured with small close-set arched lamellae; aperture rather 

 small, outer lip striated withm at certam stages, inner lip with rosy 

 white enamel; canal long, narrow, with a well marked fasciole; 

 height of shell, 22; of last whorl, 17; of aperture and canal, 13; 

 diameter, 11 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 217869. 



Type-locality.— M.2ig^dl&i\^ Bay, Lower California ;■ C. R. Orcutt. 



EPITONIUM (ASPEEOSCALA) TINCTOEIUM, new species. 



Shell small, white with a narrow purple-brown spiral line m front 

 of the suture, of six or more whorls excluding the (lost) nucleus; the 

 whorls adjacent, the axis imperforate, with 11 to 12 contmuous 

 varices which about half encircle the spire; the varices smooth, 

 Slightly reflected, wider where they cross the rather deep suture; 

 there are no varical angles or spines ; the whorls are uniformly finely 

 spirally striated; aperture rounded; there is no basal cord or disk; 

 no operculum was taken with the specimen; height of shell, 7; of last 

 whorl, 3; diameter, 3 mm. U. S. Nat. Mus. Cat. No. 218100. 



Type-locality. — ^Magdalena Bay, Lower California ; collected by C. K. 

 Orcutt. The colored Ime probably fades in time in the cabmet, like 

 that of the Californian tiyicta Carpenter, Avhich is a larger shell. 



EPITONIUM (ASPEUOSCALA) KERATIUM, "ew species. 



Shell small, white, with 13 or 14 varices and 8 rounded whorls exclu- 

 sive of the (lost) nucleus; suture distmct, axis imperforate; varices 

 concentrically striated on the anterior face, not coronate or angular, 

 continuous up the spire, which they about one-third encircle; spiral 

 sculpture of, on the early whorls, fine close threads, which gradually
