502 , FUNAFUTI ATOLL. 
VENUS PUERPERA, L., var. LISTERI, Gray. 
Reeve, loc. cit., pl. v., sp. 14. 
Several adult valves were taken on the lagoon beach; and what 
seems a very young shell was caught by the tangles in forty to 
eighty fathoms on the western slope of the atoll. 
VENERUPIS MACROPHYLLA, Deshayes. 
Sowerby, Thes. Conch., ii., 1855, p. 763, pl. clxv., fig. 20. 
One small specimen taken boring dead coral in the lagoon. 
: NARANIO LAPICIDA, Chemnitz. 
Sowerby, Thes. Conch., ii., 1855, p. 776, pl. elxvi., fig. 26. 
Found boring loose coral blocks in the lagoon. 
Schmeltz quotes this from Yap, Pelews. Sowerby mentions it 
from Australia ; though no doubt it occurs on the Great Barrier 
Reef, I am not acquainted with Australian examples of the typical 
form with posterior radiating ribs. A thinner, smoother form, 
(var. divaricata) has been noticed in South Australia. A useful 
index to the genus is given by Tryon.* 
KELLIA PACIFICA, Sp. nov, 
(Fig. 54). 
Fig. 54. 
Shell oblong, inflated, most glossy, iridescent by reflected light. 
Equivalve, margins closed. Inequilateral to the extent of the 
posterior being twice the length of the anterior. Colour milky on 
the umbones, cream on the ventral margins, with concentric 
opaque and translucent zones. Sculptured by delicate unequal 
growth lines which grow coarser with age. Beaks small, almost 
touching, forwardly directed. Ventral margin straight, anteriorly 
truncated, posterior rounded and dorsal gently curved.
