Plate II. 



(Specimens magnified to two and a half times their natural size.) 



Species 7. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Mangelia funiculata. Marg. testa, trigono-fusiformi, 

 iubelongatd, mifractibns miperne depressii, longitudina- 

 I'der tenuicostatis, leevibus; cinereo-fuscd, costis labroque 

 albicantibus. 



The coeded Mangelia. Shell triangularly fusiform, rather 

 elongated, whorls depressed at the upper part, longi- 

 tudinally, finely ribbed, smooth ; ashy brown, ribs 

 and outer lip whitish. 



Reeve, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846. 



Hab. Islands of Ticao and Masbate, Philippines (found on 

 the sands) ; Cuming. 



The fine smooth white ribs of this species, on a dark 

 ground, give the shell the appearance of being strung witt 

 longitudinal cords. 



(Species 8. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Mangelia cavernosa. Mang. testa, oblongo-ovatd, spird 

 angulato-tiirr'dd ; anfractibiis mpenie angidatis, intra 

 costis cavemosis, cosiis fortibus, obtusis, e suturk des- 

 cendentibua ; albd, aurantio-fusco hie ilUc sparmii 

 maculatd 



The cavernous Mangelia. Shell oblong-ovate, spire 

 angidarly tmTeted ; whorls angulated at the upper 

 part, cavernous between the ribs, ribs strong, obtuse, 

 descending from the sutures ; white, sparingly spotted 

 here and there with orange-brown. 



Reeve, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846. 



Hab. Island of Ticao, Philippines (found on the sands) ; 

 Cimiing. 



The orange-brown spotting is mostly on the cavernous 

 portion of the whorls above the angle. 



Species 9. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Mangelia cylindkica. Mang. testa cylindraceo-ficsi- 

 formi, apice acidd, longitudinallter subtiliter costatd, 

 transver-ume lecato-driatd ; pellucido-albd, fuscescente 

 tinctd, aurantio-fusco infra suttiras maculatd. 



The cylindrical Mangelia. Shell cylindi-ically fusi- 

 form, sharp at the apex, longitudinally finely ribbed, 

 transversely elevately striated; transparent white, 

 stained with pale brown, spotted beneath the sutui'es 

 with orange-brown.

Sal. Cagayan, Island of Mindanao, PhUippines (found in 



sandy mud at the depth of twenty-five fathoms) ; 



Cuming. 



The orange-brown spots, as in the former species, are 

 arranged round the upper portion of the whorls beneath 

 the sutures. 



Species 10. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Mangelia capillacea. Mang. testa ovato-fusiformi, 

 spircB sidur'm profmidis ; anfractibiis superne depressis, 

 trnnsversim subtilissime et creberrinie elevato-striatis, 

 longdiidiiLalder costatis, costis angustis, suberectis, su- 

 perne leviter mucronatis ; fuscescente, Ikeis subtilibus 

 fuscescentibus zonatd. 



The hair-girt Mangelia. Shell ovately fusiform, 

 sutures of the spire deep ; whorls depressed at the 

 upper part, transversely very finely and closely ele- 

 vately striated, longitudinally ribbed, ribs narrow, 

 somewhat erect, a little pointed at the top ; light 

 brown, zoned with fine brown lines. 



Reeve, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846. 



Hab. Island of Burias, Philippines, (found among coarse 

 sand at the depth of seven fathoms) ; Cuming. 



Encii-cled with fine brown lines which on the summit of 

 the raised striffi have the appearance of hair. 



Species 11. (Mus. Cuming). 



Mangelia gracilis. Mang. testd gracUi-fusiformi, trans- 

 versim subtilissime striata, longitudinaUter costatd, 

 costis angustis ; albd, castaneo-fusco indistincte zonatd 

 et maculatd. 



The slender Mangelia. Shell slenderly fusiform, 

 transversely very finely striated, longitudinally ribbed, 

 ribs narrow ; white, indistinctly zoned and blotched 

 with chesnut-brown. 



Reeve, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846. 



Hab. Island of Ticao, Philippines (found imder stones at 

 low water); Cuming. 



The pecidiarities of this shell are very briefly defined, 

 but they are not, on that account, less characteristic of a 

 very distinct and elegantly formed species. The brown
