403 MELVILL AND STANDEN : SHELLS FROM LIFU. 



very near, if not identical with, Glyphostoma parthenicum, 

 described by M. Hervier (1896). 



Clathurella Reeveana Deshayes. — Very delicate, attenuate, 

 white, microscopically decussate, with clear receding orange- 

 brown lines, two on each whorl, base dorsally blotched 

 with the same colour. Found also in Mauritius and Isle 

 of Bourbon ; also recorded from Polynesia. Connecting 

 Daphnella with Clathurella, it might be included in either 

 section. 



C. rissoides Reeve. — A large smooth shell, beautifully spir- 

 ally filleted with chalky-white beading ; outer lip and 

 columella quite smooth. Evidently a very rare form. It 

 has been reported from Ticao Island. 



C. rubicunda Gould. — Also recorded from Loochoo. Very 

 beautiful, though small ; pink, many and close-ribbed, with 

 indistinct white band round the middle of the last whorl. 

 On the border-land between Clathurella and Glyphostoma. 



C. Rogersi M. & S., J. of Conch., vol. viii., p. 295, 1896. 



C. rufozonata Angas. — Peculiar for the spiral red linear 

 banding round the upper whorls, and again twice or thrice 

 similarly banded on the last whorl, the general colour 

 being pale stramineous. 



C. spyridula M. & S., J. of Conch., vol. viii., p. 296, 1896. 



C. tincta Reeve. — Only one example, nearly allied to C. albi- 

 funiculata Reeve, with which Tryon, but we think errone- 

 ously, unites it. It is also near our P. Hadfieldi, which we 

 at the time of description called a Drillia, but which falls 

 more naturally into the section Clathurella of Mangilia. 

 We obtained several of this latter in the second consign- 

 ment. 



Daphnella boholensis Reeve. — A Philippine species extend- 

 ing to the Loyalty group. Very variable in colour, and 

 even form, as some examples are almost turreted in the 

 whorls. All agree in the minute decussation and pale 

 straw colour, the apical whorls often dark brown.
