GASTEROPODA. 97 
Inhabits the Feejee Islands. 
Resembles somewhat H. miniata, Lesson, which is more solid, 
polished, the lip simple, and the suture double. In shape and colour 
it is like H. oxystoma, Gray, but is smaller, and the lip not angular at 
the carina.

March 1847. Expedition Shells, 36. 
Antmat bright pale brown, punctate with reddish dark brown. 
SHELL small, rather solid, smooth, and shining, convex above and 
below, and acutely carinated. Colour pale-chestnut, with pale-yellow, 
radiating, zigzag lines, which, near the suture, and at the periphery, 
are so dilated as to form two series of spots. The zigzag lines are 
conspicuous on the base also, but are rather undulated than zigzag. 
Spire an acute, much-depressed cone, composed of five to six flattened 
whorls, suture distinct. Aperture broadly lunate, somewhat angular 
outwardly, lip delicately reflexed, and joining the columella at a right 
angle. Columella vertical, and forming a large central triangular area ; 
circle of callus pale, small, thin. 
Axis one-eighth of an inch; base nine-fortieths of an inch. 
Found among bananas at the island of Manua. Cowthouy.
