 fulvous yellow ; columella four-plaited. 



Lamarck, Anim. sans vert.(Deshayes' edit.), vol. x. p. 337. 



Had. ? 



M. Kiener seems to doubt the propriety of separating 



this species from the Mitra granulosa ; a species which in 



my opinion has no analogy whatever with it. 



Species 227. (Mus. Norris.) 



Mitra c.eligena. Mitr. testa ovatd, spirit bremusculd, 

 suturis profuudis ; tramverxhit sulcata, \nlcis suhpinic- 

 tatis ; luteo-fuscescente, albipinictaid, aufractuum parte 

 superiori balteo angusto lutescente cingulatd ; columella 

 quadriplicatd. 



The starry Mitre. Shell ovate, spire rather short, sutures 

 deep ; transversely grooved, grooves slightly punctured ; 

 yellowish brown, dotted with white, upper part of the 

 whorls encircled with a pale yellow belt ; columella 

 four-plaited. 



Reeve, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1845. 



Hub. ? 



This species may be recognised by its entire surface being 

 starred or speckled with small white spots. 



Species 228. (Mus. Norris.)

 basem versus striata, spird brevi, obtusd ; rubido-cas-

 towards the base, spire short, obtuse ; reddish chesmvt, 

 upper part of the whorls encircled by a single namm 

 white belt; columella five-plaited ; lip sinuated within 

 at the upper part. 



Reeve, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1845. 



Mitra unifasoialis, Kiener (not of Lamarck). 



Ilab. ? 



M. Deshayes has so ably expatiated on Kiener's category 

 of blunders in regard to this species (Anim. sans vert. vol. x. 

 p. 337. note), that I have only to add my testimony to the 

 | accuracy of his observations.
