296 MELVILL AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 



The prevailing form of this pretty little shell is the rose- 

 pink, though there are many of the striped, and of the plain 

 ochreous form in our collection ; we do not think it the young 

 of any species, although the characters about the outer lip are 

 not very defined. We have seen many specimens, all alike in 

 sculpture, but are not quite certain yet of its genus. From the 

 figure, it may be one of Duclos' lost species, e.g., C. cledonida, 

 placed as Columbella, but its affinities are distinctly Pleuroto- 

 moid. We have much pleasure in recognizing the many kind 

 services extended to us by Mr. Thomas Rogers, of Manchester, 

 in the naming of this species. 



Clathurella spyridula sp. nov. (PI. X., fig. 42). 



C. testa minuta, delicatula, attenuata, angusta, albida, 

 nitida, anfractibus sex, quorum duobus apicalibus simplici- 

 bus, cceteris clathratis et cancellatis, liris acutis, cos/is incras- 

 satis, liris, junctura costantm, gemmulatis, apertura sinuosa, 

 sinu effuso, lato, labro extus crasso, intus minute octo denticu- 

 late, columella recta, simplice. 



Long, 4, Lat., 1 mill. 



Very minute, narrow, white, latticed, and cancellate, the 

 junctions of these cancellated lira? being gemmuled ; the whorls 

 are six, two being apical ; mouth sinuous, canal very short, 

 outer lip minutely denticulate, columella straight, and of 

 simple character ; we cannot find that its exact counterpart has 

 been described, {spyridula dimin. from tnrvpis a basket). 



Daphnella terina sp. nov. (PI. X., fig. 43). 



D. testa fusiformi, delicata, albida, anfractibus sex, supra 

 turritis, undique tenuistriatis, sub lente, omnibus prater 

 ultimum anfractum et apicalem indistincte longitudinaliter 

 costuliferis, ultimo infra suturas britnneo-maculato, brim 

 neisque flammis dorsaliter ad basim decorato, apertura 

 angustc obliqua, labro simplice, sinu parvo. 



Long. 5, Lat. 2*50 mill. 



Has some affinity with the large D. lynuicciformis and also 

 D. metcalfiana Reeve, but is a smaller, shorter, and more deli-
