Swainson, Journ. of Sci. Lit. and Arts, No. 36. 



Ilab. Eed Sea. 



This comes very near to the pale varieties of A. ciuna- 

 momea, and must be regarded as a doubtful species.

 fractibus superni dcclivibus, delude tumidiusculis, in- 

 ferne conslrictis et sulcalis, sulco albo, columelld con- 

 tortd, eburned ; aperturd ad basin minute dentatd.

 whorls sloping at the upper part, then a little tumid, 

 constricted and grooved at the lower part, groove

Sowerby, Thes. Conch. Anc. p. 59. pi. 21-1. f. 66, 67.-

A very characteristic well-defined species.

 meo-spadiced, ad basin saturatiore, spird parvd, an-

SowERBV, Thes. Conch, p. 4. f. li-19. 



Hab. Red Sea. 



The style of colouring, so far as regards the darker 

 base, edged with a white groove, resembles that of A. 

 acuminatd ; the form of the species is quite distinct.

Species 23. (Mus. Cuming.)

This is not a very satisfactory species, but I am still 



unable to refer it to anv other.
