Mr. Williams writes us, that though in good condition, the 

 markings in a quite fresh specimen would probably be much 

 clearer and more characteristic. The shell is fusiform, polished, 

 the whorls six, deeply canaliculate and excavate at the 

 sutures ; the last whorl and the penultimate are ornamented 

 with clearly-drawn longitudinal zigzag chestnut lines ; the 

 mouth is narrow, oblong, outer lip thickened, columella 7-8 

 plaited.

 We have very much pleasure in connecting with this little 

 Olivella the name of our friend, Mr. J. Michael Williams, of 

 Liverpool, whose collection of Olives embracing as it does, so 

 many types and unique or rare species and varieties, is prob- 

 ably the best extant at the present time, and to whom we have 

 submitted the whole of the genus in our Loyalty Islands' 

 collections.
