DAPHNELLA. 313 
Section TEres, Bucq., Dautz. et Dollf. 
D. anceps, Hichwald. Pl. 18, fig. 39; Pl. 32, fig. 31. 
Shell encircled by spiral ridges, of which there are from 20 to 
25 on the body-whorl, frequently alternately larger and smaller ; 
light yellowish brown, usually irregularly spotted with chestnut, 
forming interrupted longitudinal streaks. Length, 8-15 mill. 
Norway to Mediterranean, Madeira and Canaries. 
Var. CONCOLOR is without the chestnut spots. 
The synonymy includes D. teres, Forbes, a name under which 
it is perhaps more extensively known. Reeve’s figure of teres 
(Pl. 18, f. 39) being very bad, I add another, from Forbes and — 
Hanley (PI. 32, f. 31). Other synonyms are D. La Viz, Calcara; 
D. borealis, Lovén; D. fusiformis, Requien; D. polyzonatum, 
Brugnone, and D. Barbieri, Brusina. 
D. amana, Sars. PI. 20, fig. 86. 
Shell thin, pellucid, interstices of the revolving ridges longi- 
tudinally striate, lip-sinus profound ; light brownish. 
Length, 8 mill. 
Arctic Norway. 
Section Zarra, A. Adams. 
There appears to be much uncertainty as to the limits of this 
group. Adams himself includes the West Indian minute Clathu- 
rellz discovered by d’Orbigny and figured by Reeve on PI. 39 
of the Conch. Icon., although they do not appear to me to pos- 
sess any characters apart from ordinary Clathurelle. As will 
be seen below, there are differences of opinion as to some of the 
other species. 
D. Mirrarormis, A. Adams. 
Whorls six-and-a-half, rather flat, longitudinally ribbed, the 
plice somewhat distant, oblique; last whorl constricted in front 
and obliquely sulcate; white, with an obscure chestnut band at 
the sutures, the last whorl with a narrow chestnut band on the 
periphery, and chestnut-tinted at the base. 
; Japan. 
Not figured. 
Columbella zonata, Gould (Manual, v, 172), also unfigured, is 
doubtfully referred here by Mr. E. A. Smith. If identical, it has 
priority of two months in publication.
