401 MELVII.L AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 



M. (Glyphostotna) infracincta Sowerby. — An exceedingly 

 beautiful little shell, variable in size, pale flesh-colour pink, 

 with brown transverse banding. 



M. (Glyphostoma) Jousseaumei Hervier (?) — One or 

 two somewhat doubtful. A pretty orange-pink species. 



M. (Glyphostoma) latirella M. & S., p. 287, 1896. 



M. (Glyphostoma) melanoxyta Hervier. — Many speci- 

 mens of an elegant small fusiform shell, evidently, from 

 the detailed description of the author, the above species 

 (described in J. de Conch., vol. xliii., p. 150). 



M. (Glyphostoma) notopyrrha M. & S., p. 288, 1896. 



M. (Glyphostoma) ocellata Jousseaume (Bull. Soc. Zool. 

 France, ix., p. 184, 1884). — The most beautiful of all the 

 little Pleurotomidce, in our opinion. Two specimens only. 

 This species is the type of the genus Lienardia Jouss., 

 which, in our opinion, is a synonym of Glyphostotna ; 

 white, coarsely ribbed, the interstices being roundly and 

 regularly blotched with pale-straw colour, margined with 

 circular brown lines. A single spiral brown line also crosses 

 the last whorl at the periphery. Mouth oblong, sinus deep, 

 outer lip much incrassate and coarsely toothed. It was 

 with some little difficulty we succeeded in naming our 

 specimens, no example being found in the British Museum, 

 and we believe, till now, only one typical specimen, well 

 figured but not coloured in the publication above referred 

 to, has been discovered, and this was from Mauritius. 

 It is, indeed, one of the special gems of the collection. 



M. (Glyphostoma) rhodacme M. & S., p. 288, 1896. 



M. (Glyphostoma) strombilla Hervier. — Two specimens 

 of a small and very angulate form, pale-straw colour, and 

 unspotted. 



M. (Glyphostoma) thalera M. & S., p. 289, 1896. 



M. (Glyphostoma) theoteles M. & S., p. 289, 1896. 



M. (Glyphostoma) thepalea M. & S., p. 290, 1896.
