 arched, rather callous at the base ; transparent- 

 white, with a narrow opake zone beneath the sutures.

Like the smaller 0. nii/riadina, this shell is of a thin 



iiellucid substance without colour or marking. 



Species 97. (Fig. a,b, .AIus. Metcalfe.)

crsertd, cohtmelld brevi, arcuatd, basi obscure hiplicatd ;

 narrower, more acuminated, and more solid. 



Species 98. (Fig. a, d, b, AIus. Cuming.)

DucLOS, Mon. Oliv. pi. .5. f. 11, VI. 



Ilab. West Indies. 



The painting of this species is vei-j- similar to that of 



0. lanceolata, a smaller and more slenderly acuminate 



shell, but it differs in having spots invariably removed 



from the sutures. 



Species 99. (Mus. Steere.) 



Oliva rosolina. Oliv. testd ovald, .subventricosd, Torna- 

 telleefonui, spird brevi, apice elatd, columella brevi,

colouring of the base of the columella.
