Two or three specimens of an unusually lovely little 

 semi-transparent white species, occurring in shingle and 

 shell sand from Bombay. The form is depresso-conical, white 

 beaded, wonderfully closely obliquely striated at the inter- 

 stices between the beading ; this is not distinguishable 

 without a lens. The umbilicus has two rows of beads around 

 it, one large with coarser gemmulse, very shining ; the other 

 with smaller and more delicate granulation. Mouth thin, 

 round, fimbriate, reflexed at the columellar margin. 



[N.B. — Another species of Solarium § Torinia, probably 

 new, occurred with the above, allied to 6". virgatum {Winds). 

 This species is white, very depressed, quadrate, with similar 

 transverse raised beading ; at the periphery the gemmulae 

 are larger and coarser, as also in the last row nearest the 

 umbilicus at the base. Mouth simple, quadrate. Apparently 

 quite a young shell. I have provisionally named it >S^. 

 homalaxis, but await further specimens before attempting 

 a full description.
