MELVILL AND STANDEN ! SHELLS FROM LIFU. 40O 



the lower half of the whorl being white, the antepenulti- 

 mate suffused pink of a lighter hue, apex pink, the inter- 

 mediate whorls white or straw colour, the last whorl having 

 just below the suture a narrow straw-coloured band, thru 

 a broad white space, and towards the base, again, uni- 

 colorous straw colour. Two specimens. We refer to 

 M. Hervier's description for fuller details, J. de Conch., 

 vol. xliii., p. 146, for 1895 (published 1896). 

 M. (Glyphostoma) chrysolitha M. & S., p. 286, 1896. 



M. (Glyphostoma) crassilabrum Reeve. — A handsome 

 species, occurring rarely in our consignments. It shows 

 some little variation both in form and sculpture. Recorded 

 from the Philippines. 



(M. (Glyphostoma) cremonilla M. & S., J. of Conch., vol. 

 viii., p. 96, 1895. — This name has precedence over M. (G.) 

 lamproideum Hervier (J. de Conch., vol. xliii., p. 144, for 

 1895, published 1896.) We have also two or three very 

 elegant pink varieties of this species. These are smaller 

 than the type.] 



M. (Glyphostoma) Crosseana Hervier. — An interesting 

 straw-coloured shell, banded with transverse brown lirae. 

 Four specimens. 



M. (Glyphostoma) dialitha M. & S., J. of Conch., vol. viii., 

 p. 2S7, 1896. 



M. (Glyphostoma) globulosa Hervier.— One specimen of 

 a pale straw-coloured shell, which we assume by the 

 description (J. de Conch., vol. xliii., for 1895, p. 147) to 

 be this new species, though even more globular than is 

 represented in the plate. It seems very distinct. 



M. (Glyphostoma) Goubini Hervier. — Three specimens. 

 A very elegant little form, light violet with a white trans- 

 verse band around the last whorl. A very small species, 

 well described by M. Hervier (J. de Conch., vol. xliii., 

 for 1895, P- 149)- 



J.C., viii., July 1897.
