 brevi, aiifractibits stiperne nodosis, costis e tiodis descen-

The interrupted Mangelia. Shell oblong-ovate, spire 

 short, whorls nodose round the upper part, with ribs 

 descending from the nodides ; white, ornamented 

 between the ribs vnih very fine interrupted transverse 

 black lines, ranging very close to one another.

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

 Cuming. 



A very significant character is here displayed, in the in- 

 terstices between the ribs being painted with short black 

 hair lines. 



Species 17. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Mangelia reticulata. Mang. fusiformi-ovaid, spird 

 brevitiscidd, apice acuminata ; anfractibus superne per- 

 pendimlariter compressis, delude timiidinscidis et longi- 

 tudinaliter costatis, costarum interstitiis exiliter oblique 

 reticulatis ; albidd, cinereo pallida zouatd, costis exiliter 

 fusco-piDictatis. 



The reticulated Mangelia. Shell fusiformly ovate, 

 spii-e rather short, acimiinated at the apex ; whorls 

 perpendicularly compressed roimd the upper part, 

 then a little swollen and longitudinally ribbed, inter- 

 stices between the ribs faintly obliquely reticulated ;

 brown.

 Cuming. 



This species is distinguished by a peculiar perpendi- 

 cular depression of the upper portion of the whorls, toge- 

 ther with the faint reticidated sculpture of the interstices 

 between the ribs. The colouring is also characteristic. 



Species 18. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Mangelia pulchella. Mang. testa fiisifornii-ovatd, 

 snbcylindraced, spird brevimculd, apice acuminaid ; an- 

 fractibus sxperue rotimdatis, longiindinaliter multicos- 

 tatis, costis tennibus, gracilibus, conceidrice dispositis, 

 anfractuum superficie totd exilisshne reticnlatd ; lideo- 

 albicante, maculis quadratis parvis rufis costarum in- 

 terstitiis fasciatim cingulatd. 



The pretty Mangelia. Shell fusiformly ovate, some- 

 what cyMndiical, spire rather short, acuminated at 

 the apex ; whorls rounded at the upper part, longitu- 

 dinally many-ribbed, ribs thin, slender, arranged con- 

 centrically ; entii'e sm-face of the whorls very faintly 

 reticulated ; yellowish-wlute, encii'cled throughout in 

 the interstices between the ribs, with bands of small 

 square red spots. 



Eeeve, Pro. Zool. Soc, 1846. 



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

 Cuming. 



An extremely pretty species, strikinglytesseUated through- 

 out with bright square red spots. 



Species 19. (Mus. Cuming.)

 bus superne subangulaiis, ad angulmn nodosis, costis 

 tenuibus subsuperficiariis e nodis deseendentibus, trans-
