" This is a blackish brown shell, in some specimens lineated 

 with white; the whorls are constricted just below the sutures, 

 and the upper ones are longitudinally plicate and somewhat 

 eroded." 



No dimensions given. Probably a form of lineolata. 



C. ELONGATA, Dunker. Hah. unknown. 



C. FUCATA, A. Ad. Japan. 



C. CROCEA, A. Ad. Philippines. 



Both these localities are on the authority of labels in the Cu- 

 mingian Collection, and being distant from the usual range of 

 the genus they may be considered rather doubtful. 



C. ALBOLiRATA, C. TENUicosTATA, Tcuison-Woods. Tanmania. 



Subgenus Josepha, Tenison-Woods. 



Founded upon the following species, which differs from 

 Comi7iella in possessing a plait upon the columella. If it is 

 really distinct from Comiiiella, why is it not a Pftosf 



C. Tasmanica, Tenison-Woods. 



Ovately fusiform, small, solid, opaque, flesh color and white;

neatly striate, strite distant and passing over the ribs, which are 



raised, rounded, and interrupted above by a conspicuous groove ; 



nucleus of two whorls, smooth, inflated ; aperture ovate, attenuate 



posteriori}^ ; labrum thin, acute, columella conspicuously unipli-

First proposed as a genus of the family Melanidae^ which the 

 shell resembles in its form, epidermis and habitat in fresh waters, 

 especiall}^ reminding one of the genus Hemisinus. The operculum 

 with its apical nucleus, no less than the lingual dentition, whereof 

 the formula is 1'1*1 in Glea., instead of 3'1'3 as in Melania, 

 induced Brot to remove the species to Buccinidae ; and really
