 smooth, or very minutely impressly striated beneath 

 the lens ; columella narrowly reflected, lip thin,

 GUILDING, MSS. ? 

 Hah. St. Vincents, West Indies? 



Ml-. Cuming possesses this shell as an inhabitant of 

 St. Vincents, accompanied with the above name, as having 

 been given to it by the Rev. Lansdowne GuUding. It is 

 but right, however, to add that the authenticity of this 

 name and locality requires confirmation.

 Hab. Bengal. 



Easily recognised by its black apex and characteristic 

 linear painting, the lower part of the whorls being en- 

 circled by two chesnut lines, one of which is concealed in 

 all but the last by the superposition of one whorl upon 

 the other.
