2. Marginella IIakp^formis (pi. Ixxiv. f. 7, 8.), BecT;. M.S. 



M. angulata, pallidissime rosea, griseo obscure fasciata, punctis 

 minutis, creberrimis, seriatim oniata ; spirfi subelongata ; anfracti- 

 bus angulatis, ereinilatis ; columella quadriplicata ; labio externo 

 crasso, valide creuulato, antice emargiirato. 



It is difficult to describe with jarecision the differeucc between 

 this species and M. hifasciafa ; it is however thicker and more 

 angular, and the aperture is shorter. From Senegal. 



3. Marginella bifasciata (pi. Ixxiv. f. 13, 14, 15.) Lam. 

 Anim. s. vert, vii., p. 557. 



M. ovali, pallide fulva, griseo nebulata vel undulata, fasciis dua- 

 bus nigrescentibus cincta, seriatim creberrimc punctata; spii-a 

 brevi, crenulata, vix angulata, obtusa ; columella oblique quadri- 

 plicata ; labio externo subelongato, arcuato, valide crenulato, 

 antice emarginato. 



More rounded, with the spire shorter in proportion, and the 

 outer lip more bowed outwards than the M. Faba ; the spots are 

 also much more numerous and minute : fig. 1 4, with the strong dark 

 bands, is Laraarck^s shell; fig. 15 is a very beautiful variety with 

 the bands fainter, and with lightning-like markings between, from 

 Mr. Cuming's Collection; in fig. 13 the bands are scarcely per- 

 ceptible. From Senegal. 



4. Marginella obtusa (pi. Ixxiv. f. 11, 12.) 7ioUs. 



]\I. ovali, crassa, palhde fulva, griseo nebulata, creberrime seriatim 

 punctata, fasciis duabus, interruptis, nigrescentibus, cincta ; spira 

 breviuscula, obtusa ; anfractibus leviter angulatis ; plicis obtusis, 

 elongatis ; apertura angusta; columella quadriplicata, antice acuta ; 

 labio externo Isevi, crasso, postice elongate et angulato, antice 

 emarginato. 



A remarkable shell in the collection of Miss Saul, differing from 

 M. bifasciata and the rest of the group in being much thicker, 

 with a shorter obtuse spire, with a thickened, smooth outer 

 lip, which is angulated and lengthened towards the apex ; there 

 are a few obtuse ribs running nearly all the length of the body 

 whorl. Locality unknown.

 Zool, Proc. 1846. M. Faba, Lam. Anim. s. vert. vii. 



M. angulata, antice attenuata, sub-recurva, paUide fulva, griseo
