(Plate Iv., tig. 181.) 



Shell small, solid, ovnte-tusiform, rather turieted and constricted at 

 tlie base. Colour white, tlie protoconch buff ; on the upper whorls an 

 orange line runs along the second spiral below the angle; on the last 

 whorl such Hues follow the third, seventh, and tenth s[)irals ; on the back 

 of the last whorl there may be an irregular orange blotch. Whorls seven, 

 of which tliree and a half compose the protoconch. Sculpture: — A sub- 

 sutural space representing the fasciole is smooth save for radial wrinkles ; 

 the radial ribs are perpendicular and discontinuous, absent on base and 

 fasciole, set at about fourteen to a whorl, and chiefly discernible as knots 

 on the spirals ; on the last whorl the spirals amount to fifteen, on the 

 penultimate to six, and on the antepenultimate to four sharp elevated 

 cords. Aperture: — The vainx is moderately pri)minent, and mounts 

 considerably on the penultimate ; the inner edge of the lip is beset with 

 ten small crowded deuticules ; the sinus is spout shaped, constricted at 

 its entrance ; the columella terminates anteriorly, and within is a small 

 but distinct tooth. Length 4 mm., breadth l? mm. 



This is nearly related to P. thespesia Melvill and Standen, but has a 

 whorl less, is smaller, and has stronger, more elevated spirals, which 

 predominate over the radials.

Shell small, lanceolate, subturfeted, and rather thin. Colour uniform 

 white or uniform cinnamon, or white spotted with cinnamon. Whorls six, 

 including a tvvo-whorled protoconch. Sculpture: — Variable, according as 

 extra threads are or are not intercalated ; I'adials extending fi'om suture 

 to base and traversing the basal furrow, narrow, discontinuous from whorl 

 to whorl, perpendicular, twelve to fourteen to a whorl ; spirals from eleven 

 to fifteen, according to presence or absence of intercalated threads; on 

 the snout six or seven close and knotted threads, then a wide basal furrow 

 followed b}' from five to eight fine threads which by intersection with the
