 example.

M. (Cancilla) carnicolor Reeve. — Our somewhat worn 

 examples seem to harmonize with Reeve's description.

 suffused with the most delicate pink, and the spiral carinas 

 are pale horn colour, spotted. Also from Chinese seas.

 a little worn. Rare ; we only obtained four specimens.

 species.

 and typical example.

 rectly named. It is allied to Af. Hanleyi Reeve, from the 

 Red Sea.

 a red-brown, and beautifully spirally ribbed. Also from 

 Mauritius.
