300 DAPHNELLA. 
Genus DAPHNELLA, Hinds. 
D. LyMnetrormis, Kiener. PI. 26, figs. 60,89, 90, 93. 
Whorls with narrow, close, revolving ridges, the earlier ones 
with longitudinal ribs; white, irregularly maculated with chest- 
nut, often forming longitudinal zigzag markings. 
Length, 14 mill. 
West Indies, Philippines, Australia. 
D. decorata, C. B. Adams, is a synonym, from the West 
Indies, and D. patula, Reeve (fig. 89), another from the Philip- 
pines; the above widely separated localities appear to be well 
authenticated. Kiener gave the Indian Ocean and Isle of France 
for habitats. 
Var. FRAGILIS, Reeve. Pl. 26, fig. 90. 
Shell thin, fragile, transparent, very closely finely reticulated 
throughout with raised lines, the spiral ones the most prominent ; 
white. Length, 23 mill. 
Hab.? (Reeve); Australia (Angas) ; Japan (HE. A. Smith). 
Mr. Smith says that the Japanese form is much smaller than 
the type, being 10 mill. long ; I suspect, however, that Reeve’s 
figure is magnified. Mr. Smith also unites this with the type, 
but it may better be regarded as a variety of it. 
D. casta, Hinds. PI. 26, fig. 96. 
Shell glassy, spirally grooved, columella twisted ; faintly tinged 
with pink. Length, 13°5 mill. 
Gulf of Nicoya, Central America, 23 fms. mud (Hinds). 
D. VARIEGATA, Carpenter. Pl. 22, fig. 54. 
Very thin, with nine ribs and almost microscopic revolving 
lines; yellowish or pinkish horn-color, with one or two narrow 
chestnut bands—sometimes interrupted. Length, 8 mill. 
Sta. Barbara, Cal. 
Figured from a specimen, one of the original lot. A variety 
nitens has a chestnut and a white band; from same locality. 
D. puuMBEA, Hinds. PI. 21, fig. 39. 
Thin, longitudinally ribbed ; pale lead-color, narrowly banded 
with chestnut. Length, 13°5 mill. 
Magdalena Bay, L. Cal., 5 fms. (Hinds). 
I suspect that the preceding species will prove to be 
synonymous with this.
