288 MELVILL AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 



A very delicate species. At first we imagined it to be the 

 juvenile of La tints turritus Rve., but the mouth and processes 

 are those of a true Glyphostoma. The apical whorls are glassy, 

 shining, the rest impressed at the sutures, and very coarsely 

 costate, also roughly Urate, the lira? being white, the interstices 

 fulvous. The mouth is narrow, sinus ample and profound ; the 

 denticles of the outer lip, of the columella, and the sutural tooth 

 are all tinged fulvous red. A few specimens. From the 

 description of Gl. Gaidei Hervier, J. de Conch., vol. 43, 

 p. 239, it must resemble this shell. There, however, are eight 

 whorls, but little decussation', and other points of distinction. 

 (Latirella resembling La tints turritus).

Many specimens of a pure-white turreted little species, with 

 a conspicuous dorsal squarrose brown spot just below the suture 

 of the last whorl. The whorls are ventricose and ribbed longi- 

 tudinally, crossed with a few conspicuous liras, the outer lip is 

 much thickened with large denticles on the inner surface, and 

 the columella is toothed, (vwtos the back, Trvppos rufous).

 perpaucis, transversim spiraliter crassiliratis, apertura
