LATIAXIS. 



B. Eugenise, Bernardi, R. nodosa, Ad., and B. tortilis, Ad., are 

 referred to this species by Dr. Gra}^ in a sliort paper in Ann. 

 Mag. N. H., 1861, in wliich, in a single paragraph, B. Maivse is 

 referred to as B. Mairse, B. Eugenise quoted as of Berand instead 

 of Bernardi, and B. fexlilia substituted for B. tortilis, Ad. ; whilst 

 the adopted name, (pioted as B. pagoda,, Johnson, instead of B. 

 idolea, Jonas, caused nie to hunt up all the Johnson papers con- 

 tained in the Royal Soc. Catalogue. Dr. Gray remarks that these 

 so-called species are founded on single variations, such as the 

 presence or absence of a keel on the body, nodose plications, etc. 

 B. Eugenioe only has been figured (fig. 343). I venture to add 

 Fyrula famformis, Chenn, which npiiears to agree well in its 

 characters. 



R. Forth Ni, A. Ad. 



Not figuied, and no dimensions given. It is widely umbili- 

 cated, imbricated, jiink in color, and may be a variety of B. 

 MaiCce. 



China. 

 R. RHODOSTOMA, A. Ad. PI. 64, fig. 34T. 



Yellowish-brown, with white bands ; pink within the aperture. 

 Length, 1*38 inches. 



China. 



The aspect of this species is so decidedly that of a Turbinella, 

 that, although no folds are depicted on the columella, or described, 

 I suspect that it really belongs to that group. In a series of T. 

 caiHnifera^ Lam., in the collection of the Philad. Acad., occurs 

 an abnormal specimen entirely similar in the wide, carinated 

 umbilicus. 



R. TURRis, Morch. PI. 65, fig. 351. 



This was described as a Goi-alliophila, but its similarity to B. 

 rhodostoma is sufficiently close to make it probable that it may be 

 more properly arranged in the group of Latiaxis. 



Length, 1-75 inches. 



Hab. 'imknoicn ; probably coll. near Moittecideo, S. Am. 



R. ELEGANs, Angas. 



This species, described in 1878, and well figured, is another of 

 the numerous synonyms of Bhizochilus bracteatu.^, being equiva- 

 lent to the var. babelis.
