 like that on the bands of Conns ammiralis.

Allied to S. ?naculata, Quoy, but the spire is less elevated, the 

 aperture is more rounded, and above all, it is characterized by 

 the plain white lunate area adjacent to the columella.

 ginata. Long. 1£ ; lat. f; alt. £ poll. Hab. China Seas, 

 Moluccas. 



Distinguished by its globular form, shining surface, peculiar 

 coffee-colored ground with delicately painted feathery ridges and 

 the large white erect columellar callus. It accords with the

 lari, prselonga, cylindrica, contorta ; labro flavido, evaso ; fauce 

 castaneo. Long. 2£ ; lat. 2 poll. Hab. Province of Maynas, 

 Peru. 



Remarkable for its solidity, its elongated form, its want of 

 umbilicus, and the presence of a columella like that of the buli- 

 moid helices. 



Amnicola badia. Testa minuta, elongata, ovato-turrita, badia :
