952, MANGILIA. 
rowly shouldered, pretty closely longitudinally ribbed, the ribs 
subnodulous, crossed by elevated revolving striz. 
Length, 15 mill. 
Philippines, Japan, N. Australia. 
M. contracta, Reeve (Pl. 23, fig. 88), is a smaller specimen of 
the same species; as is also IZ. Fusoides, Reeve (PI. 17, fig. 11). 
M. Funvocincta, Nevill. Pl. 22, fig. 52. 
Whorls nine, the first four embryonal and colorless, the others 
varicosely seven-ribbed, with microscopic revolving striz ; 
whitish, chestnut banded below the sutures, and also at base of 
body-whorl, and within the aperture. Length, 8 mill. 
India. 
M. zonaTa, Reeve. Pl. 23, fig. 79. 
Shell obscurely shouldered, longitudinally ribbed, ribs smooth, 
descending from the sutures ; white, with a chestnut band at the 
upper part of the aperture. Length, 8 mill. 
Philippines (Cuming); Solomon Js. (E. A. Smith). 
M. anaicostaTa, Reeve. Pl. 23, fig. 85; Pl. 32, fig. 49; Pl. 22, 
fig. 69. 
Shell turreted, whorls distinctly shouldered, with a few distant 
small longitudinal ribs, extending to the suture, and much wider 
interspaces ;-light yellowish brown to white ; columella chocolate 
tinged, often with a narrow interrupted chocolate central line. 
Length, 18 mill. 
New Caledonia, Viti Isles. 
Described without locality, but there can be little doubt that 
M. melanostoma, Garrett (fig. 49), from the Viti Isles, is iden- 
tical, although Reeve does not mention the dark bordered colu- 
mella. Probably Reeve’s figure is magnified. Df. scalata, Souverb. 
(Pl. 22, fig. 69), is a short variety, pure white with the narrow 
band, from New Caledonia. Some of Garrett’s Viti Islands 
specimens are exactly like it. 
M. ciara, Reeve. Pl. 23, fig. 89. 
Shell smooth, plicately ribbed, round shouldered; purple 
brown, upper part of the whorls whitish. Length, 15 mill. 
Hab. unknown. 
The aperture being neither described nor figured, the position 
of this species can only be guessed at.
