The fiue network of red-brown lines becomes obsolete 

 with the thickeuiu"- of the crowded concentric ridges. 



Species 5. (Mus. Cuming.)

The lightning-marked Circe. Shell ovate, pos- 

 teriorly somewhat square, compressed, livid-white, 

 copiously marked with sharply zigzag red-brown 

 lines, concentrically densely grooved and ridge- 

 striated, posteriorly rather smooth. 



JM. ? 



An oblong-ovate form of C. scripta, in which the mark- 

 ing is crowded and sharply angled. 



Species 6. (Fig. a, h, c, JIus. Cuming.) 



Circe persoxata. Circ. iesl.d suborbicnlafi, poslice sub- 

 qimdratd, valde compressd, lividu-fiihescente, rnfo-

The masked Circe. Shell nearly orbicular, posteriorly 

 somewhat square, very compressed, li\ id-fulvous, 

 rayed and clouded with reddish-chestnut, concentri- 

 cally closely grooved and ridge-striated, posteriorly 

 rather grooved.

Hab. Philippine Islands ; Cuming. 



This also is a form of C. scripla, in which the clouded 

 rays of colour give fancied resemblances at their margin of 

 the human protile. 



Species 7. (Fig. a, b, Mus. Cuming.) 



Circe lenticularis. Circ. tesld circuluri-ovatd, poslice 

 sitbprodncld, solidd, convexd, fidoescente-albd, Uneis

The lens-shaped Circe. Shell circularly ovate, a 

 little produced posteriorly, solid, convex, fulvous- 

 white, diagonally sharply waved with purple-black 

 lines, concentrically rudely plicately ridged, towards 

 the umboes radiately divaricately striated. 



Deshayes, Pro. Zool. Soc. 1853, p. 7. 



Ilab. ? 



A very characteristic species, swollen in the middle, 

 compressed towards the periphery, conspicuously marked
