denticules. The callus on the inner lip is very heavy, its surface 
shagreened, posteriorly it rises into an abrupt boss and anteriorly 
is heaped in a longitudinal-ridge. Length 4, breadth 3 min. 
Taken alive from the deep water Gorgonide raised from the 
western slope of Funafuti in eighty to forty fathoms. 
This very distinct little species, the smallest of its genus known, 
appears to find its nearest relation in Ovula caledonica, Crosse ;* 
from which it is easily separated by smaller size, greater propor- 
tional breadth, coarser sculpture and fewer labial denticules. 
It is named in compliment to the Rev. J. Hervier, the author 
of many clear descriptions and admirable drawings of Pacific shells.

Dead shells were found on the beach of one of the western islets 
of Funafuti, and the species was again encountered at Nukulailai. 
According to Garrett, this deep water species inhabits the 
Carolines, Gilberts, Tonga, Fiji and Samoa. Rossiter records it 
from New Caledonia, the Isle of Pines and the Loyalties.; From 
material in this Museum I add the Solomons, Erromanga and - 
Aneiteum, New Hebrides.

Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Gilberts, Carolines, Cook’s, Society, Paumotus, 
Marquesas, and Hawaii. A series in this Museum include 
instances from the Gilberts, the Louisiades, Woodlark Island, 
New Caledonia and Broken Bay, N.S. Wales.
