 The serrated Cancellauia. Shell ovate, narrowly 

 urabilicated, spire sharply turreted, whorls rather 

 broadly excavately angled at the upper part, thinly 

 longitudinally ribbed, ribs sharply fimbriately ser- 

 rated ; whitish, stained with livid olive, white-banded 

 in the middle; aperture triangularly ovate, ridged

IM. ? 



Au elegantly sculptured species, the ribs being unusn- 

 aUy thin, erect, and sharply fimbriately striated. 



Species 64. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 

 CANCELLARIA CORROSA. Can. testa subffloboso-ovatd,

 aperturd parvimculd, plicis tribiis, forlibus. 

 The fretted Cancellaria. Shell subglobosely ovate, 

 rather thick, minutely umbilicated, spire sharp, whorls 

 rounded, but little angled at the suture, everywhere 

 neatly latticed with corded ridges ; light fulvous ; 

 aperture rather small, plaits three, strong. 

 Camellaria clathrata, Adams (not of Lamarck). 



Hab. ? 



A soUd shell, peculiarly neatly latticed throughout with 

 cord-bke ridges. 



Species 65. (Fig. a, l>, Mus. Cuming.) 

 Cancellaria laMELLOSa. Can. testa ovatd, sublate pro- 

 fundi nmbiUcatd, spird acute acuminatd, anfractd>m 

 supmCe anguste excavatis, oblique longitudinalder cos- 

 tatis costis pulcherrime seiraiis et lamellatu, ad an- 

 gttlum muricato-uncinatis; albida, ad angulum rufo- 



fusco maculatd ; aperturd trigono-ovatu, fauce liratd, 

 columelld triplicatd. 

 The lamellose Cancellaria. Shell ovate, rather 

 broadly deeply umbilicated, spire sharply acumi- 

 nated, whoris narrowly excavated on the upper part, 

 obliquely longitudinally ribbed, ribs beautifully ser- 

 rated and lamellated, prickly-hooked at the angle; 

 whitish, spotted with red-brown at the angle ; aper- 

 ture triangularly ovate, ndgc^d within, columella 

 three-plaited.

 Eab. Indian Archipelago. 



A beautifully sculptured species, the ribs being ele- 

 gantly produced along the edge into lamellK. 



Fig. 66. (Mus. Cuming.) 

 The shell here represented is in a very immature stage 

 of growth, and may be the young of C. Spengleriana. It 

 however has a finer pattern of sculpture than is usual with 

 that species. 



Species 67. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 

 Cancellaria hystrix. Cati. testa globoso-ovatd, imper- 

 furatd, spird breviusculd, acute acuminatd, arifractilius 

 ad suturam anguste angulatis, oblique longitudinaliter 

 dense costatis, costis erectis, angustis, nndique pul- 

 chrrime muricato-serratis ; albidd, livido-fuscescente 

 palliM iinctd; aperturd ovatd, fauce rnfUineatd, co- 

 lumelld arcuatd, plicis tribus, irreguhribus. 

 The hedgehog Cancellaria. Shell globosely ovate 

 imperforated, spire rather short, sharply acuminated 

 whorls narrowly angled at the suture, obliquely Ion 

 -ritudinally closely ribbed, ribs erect, narrow, beauti 

 fully prickly serrated throughout; whitish, faintly 

 tino-ed with livid brown; aperture ovate, interior 

 marked with red lines, columella arched, plaits three, 

 irregular. 

 Ilab. Mauritius. 



This is one of the most beautifully sculptured species 

 of the genus. The ribs are peculiariy serrated throughout 

 at the edge into short obtuse prickles.
