m2 MELVILL AND STANDEN: SHELLS FROM LIFU. 
S. (Amaea) fimbriata Adams (?)—One pretty specimen, 
which we somewhat doubtfully place here, has been re- 
ferred to Mr. E. A. Smith, who informs us that it is near 
to Adams’ species, which is unfigured and was described 
from Japan, but it has fewer ribs, and may be new. We 
refrain, however, from naming our solitary example until 
more specimens come to hand for comparison, especially 
as it is not in first-rate condition. 
S. (Acrilla) gracilis H. Adams.—Two specimens. 
FAMILY AULIMID. 
Eulima proxima Sowerby.—Two specimens.

Odostomia interstriata Souverbie.—Two specimens—one 
white, one yellowish— the number of whorls is not quite 
as many asin the typical form, of which there are specimens 
from Upolu in J. C. Melvill’s cabinets, but we place the 
species here with considerable certainty. 
Syrnola brunnea A. Ad.—Three worn specimens of this 
interesting form.
