distincte et acute liratis, interstitiis longitudinaliter tenuis- 

 simc striatis, ultimo quoque anfractu apud peripheriam 

 angulato, circa angulum suturalem flammis puniceis depicto, 

 ad anguli peripheralis costam puniceo-punctato minoribus 

 etiam punicei colons punch's hie illic obscure decora to, um- 

 bilico prof undo sed angusto, superficie basalt simili modo ac 

 superna spiraliter lirata, apertura rotunda, peristoviate 

 crassiusculo, paullum reflexo, fere coutiuuo, intus puniceo- 

 tiucto. 



Alt. 4, Diam. 4-50 mill. 



A smaller species than the other Loyalty Island species of 

 this genus. The shell is five-whorled, including the apical, 

 white, angled below the sutures and in the last whorl, again at 

 the periphery ; also painted round the sutures below with crim- 

 son coloured equi-distant flames. At the periphery, the spiral 

 rib is encircled with minute pink dots ; the whole shell is 

 beautifully acutely spirally striate, the interstices, with the aid 

 of a lens, appear finely striate longitudinally. The mouth is 

 round, peristome thickened, a little reflexed ; umbilicus deep, 

 but narrow. A few specimens. (aycwr^Tos beloved, choice). 



Solariella (Conotrochus) tragemasp.nov. (PI. XL, fig. 78). 



S. testa conica, albo-calcaria, profunde umbilicata, delicata, 

 anfractibus sex, gradatulo-turritis, unangulatis, undique 

 transversim spiraliter costulatis, costis tornatis, interstitiis 

 alveolato-decussatis, inter suturas et angulum anfractuum 

 regulariter flammis puniceis sparsim decoratis, ultimo anfractu 

 apud peripheriam simili modo uuaugulato, et infra, quadri-

Eight specimens of a small conical chalky-white Solariella, 

 colourless excepting for scattered transverse pink flames round 

 the upper parts of the lower whorls just below the sutures. 

 The shell is profoundly but narrowly umbilicate, whorls six, two 

 being apical, slantingly angled in a gradate manner. The sur-
