below the suture. Of the two reddish lines upon the last whorl, the upper one is around the 
middle, and the other at the base.

Family COLUMBELLIDAE. 
106. Columbella conspersa, Gaskoin, 37, X/._ II. 
A single typical specimen. 
107. Columbella flava, Bruguiére, 37, Y7. I, X. 
108. Columbella jaspidea, Sowerby, 37, X/7. 40,6,/. IX. 
Only a single specimen was obtained. Probably C. plicaria, Montrouzier (Jowrn. Conch. vol. x, 
p. 234, pl. rx, fig. 3, 1862) is a variety of this species. The specimen figured by Reeve is not 
mottled or spotted like the type, the latter agreeing in this respect with C. plicaria. 
109. Columbella galaxias, Reeve, 37, X/. XV. 
110. Columbella turturina, Lamarck, 37, XZ. IX, XV. 
111. Columbella varians, Sowerby, var. 40,b,/. 37, XJ. IX. 
A single whitish example with the transverse striae indistinct so that the surface is rather 
smooth.

119. Murex (Ocinebra) salmoneus, Melvill and Standen, 28,6. (Murex pumilus, A. Adams, 
1,6. 40,6,/V. 39,9.) XII. 
The name pwmilus, A. Adams, was preoccupied by Broderip many years previously, hence the 
employment of the name sa/monews. I think there is little doubt that Messrs Melvill and Standen 
redescribed this species, for examination of the types of both forms shows that they are the same 
species. The single example from the Maldive Islands is dirty whitish, but, being a dead shell, 
and occupied by a Pagurus, it probably has lost the usual rose-colour. 
120. Murex (Ocinebra) pleurotomoides, Reeve, 37,///. II. 
Three specimens rather smaller than the type, with the anterior canal stained with brown 
and a pale brown zone round the middle of the body-whorl. The lirae within the labrum are 
about six in number, and the tubercles on the columella, three or four. 
The posterior sinus, at 
the upper end of the outer lip, seems to be a constant feature.
