 mature shell.

M Sandwicensis, Pease. PI. 12, fig. 69. 



Glossy white, columella usually' four-plicate, lip abbreviately 

 lirate within. Length, 2-5 mill. 



Sandwich Is. (Pease); Viti Is. (Garrett). 



Pease's species was not illustrated by him, and the figure of 

 it in Reeve's Iconica is very bad. He does not mention the 

 interior lirae or denticulations, which are not visible on all the 

 specimens. Having types received from Pease and also types 

 of Mr. Garrett's M. pygmsea, subsequent!}' published, I do not 

 hesitate to declare them identical. 



M. DEBiLis, Pease. 



Shell subpyriform, longitudinally striated, white; aperture 

 narrow, contracted ; apex obtuse ; inner lip three-plaited, outer 



lip denticulated within. 



Sandwich Islands. 



Mr. Redfield and Dr. Weinkautf have made this a synonym of 

 M. Australis, Hinds ; although the description differs essentially. 

 Pease originally published it as 31. oryza.^ but that name being 

 preoccupied, he changed it to 71/. debilis, and at the same time 

 pointed out its distinctive characters from Australis. Dr. 

 Jousseaume, ignorant of the change of name made by Pea^, 

 has proposed for it M. aqusegntta. It has not been figured, and 

 I have no specimens.
