L. t. parva, albida, subfusifonni, marginibus spires rectis; verfice 

 acutiore, recto; anfr. norm. \x., planatis, suturis vix conspi- 

 cuis ; periphena satis rotundata ; basi rapide anyustata, postea 

 producta ; upertura suhrhoinboiJea, axi antice acuta, angidata;

This species is easily recognized by its very peculiar sharply- 

 pointed beak ; iu shape like a young Rostellaria, without the canal.

It appears that Mr. Gaskoin was not acquainted with Phi- 

 lippi's species, which had not then reached the Cumingian Collec- 

 tion ; as he pronounced M. Reigen's specimen to be new, and sug- 

 gested the specific name in the Mazatlan Catalogue. It would have 

 avoided a double synonymy, could the name tcemata have been re- 

 tained for the Samarang shell, and Mr. Gaskom's for this. The 

 Cape St. Lucas shells vary as above iniicated. 



650. ?Anachis serrata, Cpr. 



Maz. Cat. no. 650, p. 50D. Perfect specimens of this singular 

 species having been found at Cape St. Lucas by Mr. Xantus, the 

 diagnosis niav be thus completed • — 



Ejjidermide fi^nbriata, lirulas spirales eleganter decussante ; labri 

 dentieulis variantibus, interdurn subobsolefis. 



L(uig. -28 long. spir. 15. lat '13; div. 4U°. 



With the sculpture and general aspect of a small Canfharus, it has 

 the mouth of an Anachis. The operculum, and therefore the generic 

 relations, are not yet known*.

 the British Museum Catalogue :—
